+2 Saying you can do all this in 10 minutes is the ultimate self-own Abusement Park
+2 I think your internship would set you up well for full-time recruiting in the fall. Just make sure you get some modeling experience. Director in CB
+2 bro's gonna steal ze moon Intern in IB-M&A
+2 +1 on this. You can get dragged into bad investments by senior folks and then wake up a few years later holding the bag and taking the blame for something they sleepwalked you into. Be careful. Principal in PE - LBOs
+2 The tiering discussion is inherently subjective, so I won't comment and just discuss facts. The statement that FTI "primarily does creditor work" is simply not borne out by the facts. kegari
+2 UBS - Banking is our craft Intern in IB - Cov

+2 I've tried a few THC drinks and honestly the biggest surprise was how different the experience felt compared to alcohol. khan.mmua
+2 Besides fund performance, it's important to have a sense of investor concentration (do they have 100 LPs each $5m, or does 1 single LP hold $400m which is a big risk if they bolt). MMPM
+2 Echoing this. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+2 If you’re reading this, please please do yourself a HUGE favor and do not go to this firm. Idk how the tech group still has any analysts. The comp is way below street (bonus and base) significantly. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+2 There’s a reason why Evercore in banking and ISI in ER pay what they pay and why many still leave… people need to consider the trade offs between insane money and good money/having a life and health equityresearch99
+2 More like Italy, historically good but nonexistent today. crazylifechoices
+2 bananajoe47Sounds good. I'm thinking blazer, no tie and dark loafers. Would you recomend suit pants or khaki slacks or does it not really matter?  Analyst 1 in PE - Growth
+2 An old VP I worked for told me his best working hours were 1-3 AM, as "he finally had time to be his most productive" Deal Team Six
+2 Agreed. Bad advice. Did 2 awful years at sweaty BB, 2 years at PE fund. Now work at FO doing 500-600k at 40-50 hours a week no weekends living in LCOL hometown. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 I worked at a similar place. Producers were on a 200k draw and fee split was roughly 50-50 until draw was covered, 60/40 to the producer for the next million in fees and 70/30 to the producer thereafter. leftcoastlenny

+2 Grindr (great place to meet like minded people with same grindset as IB) Intern in IB - Gen
+2 Haha nope! liquidiot
+2 Keep running through the 400q guide until you finish it. To understand the "why" try modeling to explaining the topics to your friends/siblings.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 KPS, SVP, and Veritas are three of the most desired spots in all of PE, and maybe the most desired for their specific strategy. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Would recommend modeling rather than trying to just do repeat questions. Forces you to learn better skills imo  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Tbh idk the answer but I’m laughing my ass off reading the replies so far of dudes being like “just lateral”. I feel like he’s asking “how do I be happy where I am without lateraling to a better bank”. AlexanderHamiltonLover
+2 Just left LA MM gig so I'm familiar with the scene: Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Not sure how helpful this is, but here's how the junior IB/AM ecosystem works in Asia: either you land an internship in the industry and convert to a return offer (easy mode), or go through the grad recruiting cycle (hard PeanutButterCookie

+2 It won't be a problem for securing a return full-time offer if that is your main concern, but long-term career prospects are probably not that great. Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+2 A good trick I found was to listen to DCF podcasts during my sleep (put on loop), especially to really grasp the FCF concepts Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+2 He made 9-10 figures. It’s much better and he had time to enjoy his money unlike buddy here. Again most people who do high finance end up working for someone and never enjoying their money. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Yea their co-op stuff is great, but the students getting co-ops at the firms you listed are top of their class. You have to be top of your class at any of the schools OP mentioned to have a slim shot for a role in IB. bigdawg321
