+22 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
+21 Don't think it'd hurt to lateral, but feel like the playbook is kinda shifting away from the trad LME centric mindset. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+20 lol get over it Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+16 Congrats on 5’8! bigrat
+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 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

+12 length: 6.5" girth: 3" curve: Right Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+11 The reality is you do all these interviews and it seems like the interviewers know so much more about these stocks than you, but once you’re in the seat, you realize everyone is just making it up as they go.  Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+10 Do you guys have any clue how PE fundraising and LP bureaucrats work? Principal in PE - LBOs
+10 Definitely picking UBS TMT over Q after this.  JustADude
+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 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
+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
+9 Another year of shitty analyst bonuses confirmed Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+9 Do you think their group CEO needs to step down? I feel like he's not making things much better, atleast not showing it. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr

+8 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+8 I wouldn't start reaching out quite yet, maybe wait until mid-late August. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+8 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
+8 Is this a troll post? The three deals you mentioned are only a couple of the dozens of other multi billion tech deals that happened this year. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+8 Banks understand that people lose their jobs, fail licensing exams, and interview while being unemployed. That’s nothing new. sleepygoat
+8 Determined
+8 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 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 I can't disclose the full investor list, but I can say that our #1 investor and primary partner is HostBooks Limited. PokerSlopWars
+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 Ignore the title. I’m much older. I know a lot about all of them. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+7 ILOVEBANANAS123
+7 this dude is probably working a back office job as an accountant for Nationwide insurance. LBOLegendChed67
+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 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 Just stop doing work. Then you’ll definitely be overpaid for what you’re doing The Real Donnie Azoff
+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 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 Can UBS stop losing market share? Same Answer Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+6 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
+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 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 UBS IB: “TRUST US WITH YOUR COMPANY.”Clients: “YOU’RE NOT EVEN TRUSTED WITH A BALANCE SHEET!”  Managing Director in IB - Gen
+6 Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I could just tell my tail chasing 15 year old self to LOCK TF IN Ozymandia
+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 Congrats on JV lax! henrytruth
+6 IMO, and most people at my school do this (State Target school), is wait until September. WOORabbit
+6 Recruiting is less structured in RE generally and networking is your best friend in this industry. TQQQ999999
+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 Suspect 30-60% of their MDs have $0 advisory revenue this year Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+6 Maybe share your info first VP in RE - Comm
+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
+5 8 inches and thick clunky monkey
+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 Think this comment is half right. The pendulum has already swung back towards traditional deleveraging. This isn’t something that will happen in the future, it’s already happening.. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+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 Very happy. I have enjoyed some of the people I have worked with and have learned a lot. With that being said, the bank is clearly declining as a platform, and team culture / WLB is somehow getting worse as deals dry up. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 CRE Christophiish
+5 I was not in CF, but during my time there the common complaint was that HL CF would take any deal no matter the size, and grind their juniors on a 10mm EBITDA sellside where they would put lipstick on a pig and make it 35 Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+5 Naya is peak Prospect in IB - DCM
+5 I have diagnosed ADHD and Aspergers, along with a few other things. I was in trading for 8 years, I've recently moved into fintech and ai. In all that time, never been medicated.  usernameladiesman217
+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 Unfortunately because of how easy it is to sign up for the website, probably not. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+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 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+5 larry david: No free lunch. Not enough NOI for that kind of leverage. JJP1234
+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 I would never work at UBS, I'm not retarded Intern in PE - Growth
+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 "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 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 So… to be clear your strategy largely boils down to buying NVDA like 5 years ago? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 I agree, I too also found information on switching at this level pretty sparse when going through my search. Executive Director in IB-M&A
+5 I took a look at some opportunities a few years ago and this was also my take-away. Esque_
+5 Terrible place ran by terrible people Prospect in IB - Cov
+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 Break it off - she deserves better.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+5 UK studies are an absolute joke vs what people from continental Europe have to go through to end up in BB in London. It isn't even the same tier of blood, sweat, and tears. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+5 SKP isn't a T2 in the traditional sense. Angus Macgyver
+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 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 barnard is not a target lil bro chickennugget801
+5 Perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying. larry david
+4 They just did Anyscale sell side and you have to realize they’re limited by headcount. They are still the go to bank retard. fkmyahhboi
+4 Very helpful. Hard to find information. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+4 PFA is only ~3% of revenue, what are you talking about? It's a public company so you can check yourself. The_Fisher_Account
+4 I made it up fuck off Prospect in IB-M&A
+4 All the 3,3s are friends and family of Marco or the grouphead Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 4'7". had to get a custom desk made Intern in IB - Cov
+4 I've seen this kind of take a lot so I have to say I think WSO slightly overstates the effect of the larger cohort size. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
