+16 Congrats on 5’8! bigrat
+16 Want to clear something up first. I'm not at Alix and not sure how they work, but at my RX Co, and all others I know of, there are usually two separate teams: 1) the RX Consultants, and 2) the ops guys. Director in Consulting
+14 Doesn’t have to be either, or. Just because you can recognize that everyone is subject to X% of random chance in their careers doesn’t mean you have no nuggets of knowledge you can share with prospects. liquidiot
+13 We just witnessed absolute cinema. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+13 They’ve assembled an army of Yes men, and everyone is afraid to say the truth to leadership that they are collectively continuing to make terrible decisions on a day to day basis when it comes to client selection, coverage Associate 2 in IB - Gen

+11 Congrats on Forvis Mazars KageSelly
+10 Bump - turns out he’s just a degenerate rtard who never hedged. Has legit insider info alpha pool yet still couldn’t take advantage. Who would have thought.  youthBlaze

+10 Do you guys have any clue how PE fundraising and LP bureaucrats work? Principal in PE - LBOs
+10 Lmao not even $200mm in advisory revenue globally, so probably less than $100mm in the US. Why even bother doing M&A Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+10 Because despite the bullshit repeated tirelessly by high school students on this forum, the so called "elite" boutiques are in 90% of the case not even remotely comparable to BB. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+9 Work at a developer so cannot comments re hours in PE but have dealt with investors since we are selling assets to them. high_issue
+9 I'm talking about GS/JP/MS there. And even for BofA/Citi my point still stands. Hope this helps. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A

+8 Banks understand that people lose their jobs, fail licensing exams, and interview while being unemployed. That’s nothing new. sleepygoat
+8 Did he get the return offer newlymintedbooth
+7 In my naivety, I wanted to get into public equities precisely because I thought it was the area of finance least influenced by luck. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+7 Advisory was down, FRC got smoked, the biggest deals still go to real banks, and UBS keeps hiding behind “capital discipline” because “clients do not trust us with major mandates” sounds too honest. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+7 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 Got a buddy who interns there (not saying which office). The firm completely went back on their “the return offer is yours to lose” thesis, assuming due to the IPO and AI. burner4737262
+7 this dude is probably working a back office job as an accountant for Nationwide insurance. LBOLegendChed67
+7 Ignore the title. I’m much older. I know a lot about all of them. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+7 ILOVEBANANAS123

+7 but i dont get the premise, if they did do all those deals then what is gs tmt and ms menlo gonna do, theres no world where those banks dont get elite sell sides too, so no shit by logic Q will lose some mandates??? randomuser2727
+7 I can't disclose the full investor list, but I can say that our #1 investor and primary partner is HostBooks Limited. PokerSlopWars
+7 DDM itself is not the difficult part, but rather the operating build that leads to the dividends that end up getting discounted. I would describe a DDM as a DCF with "extra traffic"... Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+6 UBS IB: “TRUST US WITH YOUR COMPANY.”Clients: “YOU’RE NOT EVEN TRUSTED WITH A BALANCE SHEET!”  Managing Director in IB - Gen
+6 IMO, and most people at my school do this (State Target school), is wait until September. WOORabbit
+6 UBS: “Our Capital Discipline is a strength” Wall Street: “That’s a creative way to say you can’t finance the deal” Prospect in IB - Gen
+6 Just stop doing work. Then you’ll definitely be overpaid for what you’re doing The Real Donnie Azoff
+6 Two extra Chick-Fila sauces and light ice on my drink lil bro. Your boy should’ve been more ferd if he wanted to get a return offer  LBOLegendChed67
+6 If you asked how accurate is Barbarians at the Gate, understandable, I may have given you the benefit of the doubt but asking about those movies makes me have no doubts you're a retard GS under Blankfein
+6 Congrats on JV lax! henrytruth
+6 ehh. tough call without understanding whats in the book. Fund 1 - 10% net with 2/20 structure. the headline return is ok by all means, but compared to the covid dislocation funds, its underwhelming on a relative basis. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Can UBS stop losing market share? Same Answer Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+6 Suspect 30-60% of their MDs have $0 advisory revenue this year Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+6 If you gotta ask about frats on WSO not sure how good your chances are at getting a bid Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+6 When you get to your 40’s, it kind of doesn’t matter as much.  I’m helping one H alum break into my industry.  Another H alum is pivoting to a second career (tech to entrepreneurship). odog @digitalimmortality.com
+6 Recruiters certainly ain’t what they used to be (and they were never that great) larry david
+6 LARP Partners  Intern in IB - Cov
+6 As a current USC Marshall student going to a top IB group, ED1 to Columbia— don't waste ED on USC. USC is great, but Marshall is in no way a differentiator, and the academic experience/professors are extremely mid. Intern in IB - Cov
+6 Guys, we’re not gonna go under because we haven’t done a deal. We’ve done enough the past two years. And there’s no committed capital burning a hole in our pocket. How do I know? Ozymandia
+6 I’d wait to raise it. If the conversation is heading down a path where it becomes clear that they are under the assumption that you still work at your old firm, you should step in and clarify. sleepygoat
+6 Recruiting is less structured in RE generally and networking is your best friend in this industry. TQQQ999999
+6 Many top MBA programs heavily weigh your work experience. That is not to say they never accept students right out of college, but those are few and far between. RCJ92
+6 Maybe share your info first VP in RE - Comm
+5 Naya is peak Prospect in IB - DCM
+5 Like 5% of the analysts total are getting paid 3,3 top bucket  The median analyst comp is the real tragedy   Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+5 I took a look at some opportunities a few years ago and this was also my take-away. Esque_
+5 8 inches and thick clunky monkey
+5 Congratulations on winning the semantic argument while accidentally admitting that the best thing you can say about the place is that they pay some of their people enough to tolerate it. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 We had a hardo summer intern that would stay super late for no reason all the time and smelled like ass. He would just never leave the office until 1am - 2am every single day even if he had no work. Amazon Prime
+5 Mill Creek is absolutely a dumpster fire. Developer in RE - Comm
+5 Yes, it's luck, but not all luck is equal. One realization is that you have much more control over some types of luck than others. There is generally agreed to be four types of luck: GS under Blankfein
+5 interned at Lincoln this summer. would agree with your point on lackluster intern class. the interns this year were all wannabe ferds but they’re all in bouse. Intern in IB - Gen
+5 I would never work at UBS, I'm not retarded Intern in PE - Growth
+5 It depends on what you do now. If this is your way into development, and you want to get into development, and they actually hire you, take the chance. CRE
+5 Terrible place ran by terrible people Prospect in IB - Cov
+5 Debt side here, but also have experience as both contractor/developer. Enough time in the seat on both sides of the table to have bad experience related to surveys.  MidasMulligan
+5 barnard is not a target lil bro chickennugget801
+5 I'm in a somewhat similar situation and would appreciate any advice from people who've been through this. I have 4 YoE at a pod that I joined straight out of school. Research Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+5 Unfortunately because of how easy it is to sign up for the website, probably not. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+5 SKP isn't a T2 in the traditional sense. Angus Macgyver
+5 So… to be clear your strategy largely boils down to buying NVDA like 5 years ago? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+5 larry david: No free lunch. Not enough NOI for that kind of leverage. JJP1234
+5 I’ve worked at both ends of the spectrum. One institutional place required sub-IC approval of a third party reviewed model to submit LOI. Another place let everyone VP and above submit LOIs without approval. Director in RE - Comm
+5 CRE Christophiish
+5 Really strong resume. Can tell you spent a lot of time with this. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 Have been doing banking in one of these cities for the last year. I, like most of the people that work for Texas offices of banks, have ties to the state. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 "When doing M&A advisory, the key differentiator is being able to underwrite the acquisition financing or provide bridge financing."  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+5 For me, the value comes from networking through their in-person events (workshops, conferences, under 35 programs, etc). Of course, it's hard to put an exact value/price on networking. CRE Mamba
+5 Break it off - she deserves better.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+5 Fair points. I agree the cohort size alone doesn't tell the whole story. My point wasn't that LBS suddenly became a bad program, just that it isn't the same differentiator it was 5 to 10 years ago.   Investment Manager in Risk Mnmgt
+5 GeneralMDo you have a prompt you've been using for the cases you could share? Thanks in advance :) Drizzle-Maker
+5 Super helpful, thank you. Works at Harris Williams & Co.
+5 I'm on the debt side, but ATLA's are often a lender requirement and get reviewed by our legal counsel against the title commitment.  A few purposes they serve: jmr206
+4 No free lunch. Not enough NOI for that kind of leverage. larry david
+4 ojapar20 IsItREPE
+4 You want to know what honestly is the best thing to do. Take that $100M and drop in the S&P 500 and call it a day. No Im being serious. VP in RE - Comm
+4 My firm is capitalizing on the resurgence of well located office and getting crushed by shitty office. (All purchased pre 2019). Associate 3 in RE - Comm
