+13 MM IB down in Jacksonville offered u $15, $10, $5 million but u have to work for dis decade Gold-ManSacks
+11 You need to lateral asap. Not getting VP promo means you have no real backing in the group despite whatever nice thing your MD is saying. Kowalzky
+11 Respectfully, these guys are workaholics who live to work, not work to live.  We all know them.  You don't get to be global head of RE anywhere by putting family before work, it's just that simple. Principal in RE - Comm
+10 Might be particularly well-suited to answer this one. I'm currently at a SWF (though not one listed here) after spending my first years out of college in acquisitions at a GP. kylejackson
+10 Our MD called at 9:45 p.m. on a Thurs night because a client might consider a transaction in the next 18–36 months. He asked for a “light five-pager” by breakfast. Anonymous Monkey.
+9 Hey so um, what the hell are you talking about? nutmegger189
+8 Then don't? Do something else? Nobody here is going to tell you to stay in an industry you hate/don't want to be in out of some theoretical obligation to "the path". That's just sunk cost fallacy. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+8 Diversity is simply a way for women to fraud their way in. Obviously, talent will be diluted when you split places 50/50 while applications are more like 90/10. loser1234
+8 You’re overthinking it, which is understandable. Put yourself in his shoes: someone he interviewed a year ago remembered their conversation, stayed interested in his sector, and now wants to learn from him. Anonymous Monkey.

+8 Is MV ultimately responsible? Associate 2 in IB - Gen

+7 Dude are you a pot, or about do drop a Pablo Torre style bombshell? Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 i can't tell if you genuinely struggle with analogies or are just a reflexive defeatist with no hope  Director in IB - Gen
+7 Take a deep breath. While it's a frustrating, it's an opportunity to learn an important career lesson: sometimes you can do everything right and still not get the results you hope for. Determined
+7 Will throw in my two cents/experience here in case it's helpful for you, I'm based in NYC for context. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+7 I was 17. I'm from jersey, but was a senior in high school on 84th on that day. We didn't know what was going on. We went to mass at 8:30, the following week we were supposed to do our volunteer things. mine was St. Whatever1984
+7 You really fell for this PaulAllenIsInLondon
+7 Everyone. They see you when you’re sleeping. They know when you’re awake. They know if you’ve been bad or good…So be good for goodness sake. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 And to take advantage of an employee’s rights because they are not American is the lowest you could go URI place
+7 The NYPD is also involved as you know. This is not a joke URI place
+7 The fact that Option 1 is actually something you have access to and you’re considering NOT doing it in favor of some bullshit hardo fantasy is a slap to the face of all us morons that got into this field because they came gufmo
+7 I don’t think anyone knows what’s going on Anonymous12345678901
+7 I’m leaning towards C as something similar worked in my own relationship. When my girlfriend had to choose career/uni, she started rambling about becoming a nurse. Something about helping people in need or whatever. Chumpchump
+6 Alix is very well regarded and considered one of the Big 3 in the RxCo world, with the other two being FTI and Alvarez & Marsal. RCJ92
+6 What are you guys even talking about? Sounds like a bunch of bots talking to each other. That being said. Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Fundamentally at a biotech VC, in the investor role, your job is to bet on science projects and hope that they work. This is particularly true the earlier stage you go Director in IB - Cov
+6 OP here - just circling back as I made the move so thought I’d give my 2¢ for others considering. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Not true  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+6 They remove and displace men from the workforce, then claim men are willingly opting out and working less.  Associate 3 in IB - CB
+6 Ones who wanna grind from the rap Gold-ManSacks
+6 this is UBS IB’s business model tbh  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 I don't think so but I think you should find an easier strategy if you want to coast. It's a trade-off and could be an amazing lifestyle anyway. My job is super easy. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+6 I've had a similar thought on career trajectory. bzfracas
+6 What happened here? jrosenburner
+6 i am very confused Intern in IA
+6 Real estate is not a path worth pursuing. Unless you're able to become a broker on a top team, do not get into real estate. Do not get into development. Do not get into acquisitions. commercialrainmaker
+5 UBS is such a weird place to work at man. Good luck to you all UBSiers URI place

+5 IMO there are 3 types of people who want to do PE long-term: 1) you actually like the job, or at least enough of the day-to-day that you don't really want to be doing something else, which is the rarest group, 2) you're at VP in PE - LBOs
+5 I commented in a rush earlier but I’m adding on more. I felt like I was working enough at the corp dev gig that I didn’t have a life. 9-9 best case 9-12 most case etc. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+5 I lateraled as an associate from a small boutique into one of the stronger teams in my coverage. I did my analyst stint and first year as an associate at the boutique. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+5 Bump for my prescience IRR you ready to rumble
+5 I gotta say... this may be one of the strongest resumes I've read in years. Your bullet points include the Task, Action and Result quite well. FinnesseGod
+5 Most wholesome thing on this forum in a while  Prospect in HF - Other
+5 Only maybe half of the things you described are what interns do. Research Analyst in ER
+5 Comp structure can vary depending on the type of shop you're at, but typically a good power shop will pay anywhere from 20-30% of book (sans seat costs), some higher but not many that I've heard of. Quant in PropTrad
+5 Our policy is 19 weeks total of maternity leave if you are giving birth, 10 weeks of parental leave otherwise (which is functionally paternity leave for the most part, though does cover things like adoption, etc.). Addinator
+5 The biggest difference between UK / EU & US Bankers is that especially for the generation form the 80's-GFC, British bankers were 'better' networkers and understood the political ladder for their career development. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+5 Who would be dump enough to not see headlights out of every building they come out from, and meeting co-workers at random events? Lol URI place
+5 Been in a similar situation and it’s always worked out, but I would say only 6mo experience makes it harder because you haven’t built up a network of people who know you and your work yet. Anchor
+5 I'm sorry but I find that a bit insulting to be considered "creepy" just because I struggle with the day-to-day social dynamics - I think you should be careful about what you say because there are a lot of people who may b Prospect in IB - Gen
+5 Definitely a possibility. I didn't trade RT, and most of the people I worked with didn't either. Quant in PropTrad
+5 Previously did this with a star Aso who left for MS. Sent flying monkey to get dirt on him, then chewed him out. Morons URI place
+5 What do you mean? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 Take the job / money. If you’re ambitious and smart enough you’ll figure how to run your own deals eventually (or can hire people to fill in the knowledge gaps i.e. owner’s rep for construction/design). DebtChug
+5 From my limited understanding of the situation, it seems like you work for a smaller PE firm. The partners accumulated wealth throughout their careers and early investments with the fund and are now expanding their team. Senior VP in CorpDev
+5 I don’t understand why you feel relegated to “some shit corp job” just because you don’t like investment banking. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+5 Well for one at work it’s good to at least be friendly with your coworkers. Especially if you’ll be with them for the majority of your waking hours. Hags28
+5 Best I got for you is that my grandfather was a fairly heavy smoker (lived until his 90s but quality of life and health was very poor), my uncle used to be a heavy smoker too but he one day just quit cold turkey and never Hags28
+5 Non-Americans have rights? News to me Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+5 I think OP is joking iamnotuncertain
+5 US based - but can’t see how someone would hire you with a guaranteed VP title next year unless it’s a step down brand wise, have significant hiring need cause they churn lot, etc. Teller in IB - Cov
+5 Im within the healthcare space currently working at a specialist healthcare PE firm. I wouldn’t stress too much about not having a scientific background. Healthcare Blues
+5 Ignore my title. I did A2A in BB IB before moving to a large AM in FI / Credit. It is impossible to give anyone advice without knowing their goals, but in general I've found the following to be true: Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+5 You’re asking the right question, but the trade-off is not really “economics versus investment banking.” Economics majors break into IB every year. Anonymous Monkey.
+5 Can you please stop following? We are not plotting anything URI place
+5 All banks do Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+5 Made the jump 2 years ago now (currently a senior associate at a mega fund) and went through 2 waves of hating it then loving it. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+5 I heard UBS uses work phones to track their employees locations and whether they are in the office  Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+5 Yeah, NBIM was definitely not a big player (like 2% unlisted allocation) until this recent push. kylejackson
+5 So to caveat this, I was actually a T2 management consultant. However I was in PE/CDD team that is very similar to the type of work seen at an MBB so I think I have a solid perspective here. Healthcare Blues
+5 Are you Chinese? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 I have never said it was easy and predictable! If your objective is to work 9-5 this is the wrong industry, any career path giving you a shot at meaningful $ will require hard work especially in the early years. LBOMaster
+5 Is UBs stalking their own employees? VP in IB - Cov
+5 Laying it out for you here: the bad new is yes, it compounds forever. The good is that it only compounds forever IF you stay in the game. LarryVA

+4 Don’t submit your actual address on the UBS HR portal. Bad move URI place
+4 Only a quarter of that group actually does work. The rest are pawns doing the leader’s bidding and driving up hours URI place
+4 Small PE shops don’t have the budget to play this gender quota game while large firms still do and you will find DEI Beckies there but not many. It’s the HF space, where they can’t survive.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+4 This is basically the situation I was in before heading off to do an MBA to get into Private Equity. I did 3 years in management consulting before I got into corporate dev where I spent another 2.5 years. Healthcare Blues
+4 The amount of people thinking this is genuine is concerning crazylifechoices
+4 My 2c as a mid-level in PE who worked at a MF in the past and am now at a large-cap UMM. VP in PE - LBOs
