+11 The whole asset-class is completely cooked and everyone who tells you different is drinking the kool-aid.  Associate 2 in PE - Other

+10 Looks like someone (analyst 1 accurate title? lol) doesn’t know how to properly interpret 13F filings. As a biotech specialist, I can assure you none of these funds are up nearly as much as your calculations. Benson Says
+9 Congrats on UBS! Associate 3 in IB - ECM
+9 UK and as someone in HC IB from medicine also: option 1. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+9 Scotiabank is in a great place and is growing their ibd division pretty well. Great ratio of hardworking people and good culture. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+9 Are you retarded I know plenty of people who don’t have those dreams or passions and are happy to chain themselves to the career and money. You’re clearly not one of them. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+9 Solving the debt problem is politically impossible. ResMan

+9 First off, congratulations on getting here - I know it couldn't have been easy. Prospect in IB-M&A
+9 UBS going to have to overhaul their H1B churn and burn strategy Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+8 Yes and no. Certainly more sophisticated, but also more cautious/calculated. The latter can be hurtful. Most successful entrepreneurs I know are retardmaxxers. And that isn't a diss.  VP in PE - LBOs
+8 I agree with the poster above. Your confusion is understandable, and the question is not dumb at all. VP in Private Credit
+8 I started in finance (and was a horrible employee; check my account I got PIP'd out of my industry lol), private credit instead of PE, but still have some insight as I've spent a bit of time on the VC side as well: monkeyvjit
+8 I get your premise I just don't like the framing. Clinton was moderate and great at selling right-leaning fiscal policy to lefties and libs. theooran
+8 Hags28Is a JD / Rubio admin possibly going to improve the national debt? Maybe.  Yeah next time it will be different!  CRE
+8 I think most people can't see the forest for the trees when it comes to capital markets. People will say there is too much bloat in PE and they are right, but that's not by accident. Senior VP in CorpDev
+8 Timing makes sense if they want someone next year Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+8 I actually somehow have insider info and can confirm the likely new head of sponsors is pretty capable. UBS will truly be one of the banks of all time after the hire. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+8 "I had fashion friends" investmenttbanking
+8 Now everyone will think "yeah dude but what are you doing now?". Let me tell you that I reflected upon this question for a while. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+8 BLUF: The credible strategy is not moving every UBS employee to India. They appear to be relocating virtually every repeatable production, technology, analytical and administrative task to India. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+8 If they are willing to do this an offer from them means nothing. Don’t feel bad about renegging Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+8 UBS should just copy the Gulf States and safeguard passports (wouldn’t want them getting lost during the 120 hour workweek)  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+8 UBS should just outsource everything directly to Hyderabad and Pune, imagine the cost savings  Intern in IB - Gen
+8 update: im gonna kms Prospect in IB - Cov
+7 Yeah you’re lowk cooked if you leave 3.97 bc that’s a shit gpa. Intern in IB-M&A
+7 I had a 3.51 and rounded to 4(no decimal) on my resume.   Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+7 The firm is Boston HQ'ed and every team has a presence there EXCEPT for tech, so in a lot of ways Advent Tech and the rest of Advent are quite distinct. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+7 The only way they are able to recruit nowadays is saying “don’t worry change is coming” VP in IB - Cov
+7 You're thinking the wrong way if you're thinking about getting onto the buy side from a "societal prestige" perspective. But I digress. Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+7 Its not really the rates (I mean yes, it does certainly play a part) but its the multiple expansion/contraction. VP in PE - LBOs
+7 I wouldn't sweat it just go in and give it your best shot! blueyellowpink
+7 America is for Americans  Intern in IB - Gen
+7 I landed an eb and mfpe and went to a hypsm while being on erome all day🙏  trust the process man. Too many people hate on gooning but gooning will get you far if you don’t chase sex on top of it tbh  Intern in ER
+7 There is 0 intent for this to get upheld.  Trump doesn't want to hurt businesses that rely on H1b.  He's just pandering to his base.  If it were likely to be upheld, he'd pull it. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+7 UBS likely creates 4 year clawbacks that if you voluntarily leave prior to 4 years being up you have to give back at least $100k in bonuses to refund their H1B fee Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+7 I heard some deferred analysts legitimately became farmers to make a living while waiting for their start date, UBS has no shame VP in IB - Gen
+6 Just as an industry player who spent time in MM Sponsors / M&A business, it seems like JPM is pushing into the $500mm to $2bn sell side M&A world. Hags28
+6 Broadly agree with the tiering, though I'd caveat that MF PE probably isn't generating much alpha in the medium term (there is some near-term potential for Alpha as the generalist MF PE names are too scared of software rig VP in PE - LBOs
+6 None of the MF tech PE shops are great for promotion visibility right now, just are no MF PE shops are good for promotion visibility. VP in PE - LBOs
+6 Solution: seekinthealpha1
+6 Every single one (besides RBC, which is a toxic shithole). FIG is paradise.  figenjoyer
+6 Just curious, what makes you interested in REPE over development? It's common to see construction managers make their way into development and can even become top leaders at their firms. CRE Mamba
+6 Yeah this happens. They're just leveraging their returns with your equity at that point and minimizing their skin in the game. laffer
+6 Have worked on several co-GP deals. CRE Mamba
+6 You are a college student, you don't even know if you're capable of performing in a publics seat. You won't even be a +ve to any fund until you're 1.5-2Y into the job. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+6 Congratulations on the new role!  Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+6 Go to rbc FIG and you’ll love it trust me BananaEatingChimp
+6 My thoughts as a student of the bank and industry for like 30 years now: Hags28
+6 Yes, I think that’s a very viable pathway and your fixed-income capital markets experience should give you a relevant foundation for making the move. Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+6 Lmao  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 UMM VP here (did MF PE and 2 years MBA) and so far all my banking peers have easily outearned me (even adjusting out my MBA years) on cash comp and are pushing director level soon and have so much more junior leverage / le VP in PE - LBOs
+6 Congrats on Asian! Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 I've been studying ib techs for like the longest time and found guiding wall streets guides to actually be good Prospect in IB - Gen

+6 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/us/politics/h1b-visas-fees-proposal-trump.html Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Yes that is the plan. I have a couple of buddies in RX consulting and IBs. In RX consulting, I have some finance backgrounds who made the switch there and love their life.  Associate 2 in PE - Other
+6 They’ll probably hired some Swiss dude the board likes Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+6 Interviewed for a VP level acquisitions job recently where I was asked to chronologically talk through the who/what/where/when/why of the deals I did. Director in RE - Comm
+6 Sure - see below:What level did you enter in and how did the promotion cycle work?  Dan_
+6 I definitely think there are lateral routes in, and I wouldn’t limit yourself to RM roles if your longer-term interest is on the investment side. Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+6 Sources: 2018 Pune expansion⁠, Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+6 America isn’t a jobs program for the third-world. Immigrants aren’t entitled to shit here and need to take a backseat to prosperity of Americans.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+6 Thanks for the added context. CRE Mamba
+6 Probably half the integration savings is offshoring Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+6 Great question. Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+6 Imagine wealth clients calling their banker and having to go through an Indian call center Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+6 Apparently Joe is going to be head of the IB  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+6 WSO knows a little something about offshoring to India too Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+6 Throwing in my data to the pot. First met WP and their BS team while doing FT analyst recruiting in 2014. Hags28
+6 And look at how many absolute shit GPs have cost their LPs all their money over the course of this past cycle, and are skating away having fee'd the shit out of their deals! Ozymandia
+6 who is Joe? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+5 No drawbacks. If the HF manager hears about you making calls, he should actually have higher respect for you. You're doing your diligence just like you would for an investment. MMPM
+5 Can I have one Intern in IB-M&A
+5 The difference is marginal. If it’s PE - it’s the same looks including for TB, Vista, FP, Insight, H&F and others. Same recruiters reaching out and shortlisting the same folks across these firms.  nychimp99
+5 This is a pretty spot on response. Works at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
+5 Operational drivers - what are the biggest variables / levers driving revenue, cogs, opex. What has the trend been in those metrics? How does the trend in those metrics impact your view of the business? Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+5 I suspect you are getting hurt by modern recruiter-driven hiring. There has been a huge shift in white collar hiring across all industries since 2022. cp5670
+5 To be honest, it's a crapshoot. That said, to increase your chances: are you open to various cities? At this low point in the cycle, landing something in my opinion is really about maximizing reach. CRE Mamba
+5 Where there’s smoke there’s fire 👀 Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+5 I'm a serial entrepreneur that runs a small PE firm and IMO...it doesn't help much. m_1
+5 As a first year just a few weeks in. That is not concerning at all. First years are typically a blank slate.  Singhsation22
+5 MF PE is a much worse learning experience from a junior perspective. Given how crowded the layers are above you get much less responsibility and less opportunity to operate at the top of your capabilities. drypowder123
