+5 such a bad low iq boomer take lmao VP in IB - Gen
+5 It would be dumb, but not for the reason you're suggesting  Research Associate in ER
+5 How do these bots with no personality and hobbies keep getting offers? Teller in Non-profit
+5 TBH there are way too many "bro you have to go there" places in NY to make a consolidated list or to hit in a week (or even a year). joshw12
+5 The merger is complete, but people still sometimes call the merchant banking team 'BDT team' because there was no overlap between the two firms on strategy. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+5 Very solid freshman year experience, have seen worse resumes get rx offers. Would say your time is better spent looking for sophomore summer offers to lock that down and start prepping rx technicals. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+5 I have not been a TMT analyst for a while (was at a pod in a L/S portfolio covering TMT exclusively), but I would say that, regardless of it is a good case or not, you don’t make money by having most of your peers have the idiotsavant
+5 I'm not putting this lightly. Class A investors need to sue and either force a sale or wipe out Class B while accepting new preferred equity. Legally, they should be in the driver seat here. AllThingsMulti
+5 Agree on the above. They would appreciate your help growing the company’s systems (IT systems, databases, comps templates, etc.). Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+5 IMO if you truly value this, you should just go to the gym at the small expense of your work reputation (which will be a very small hit, especially if you make it clear you are blocking off an hour at night literally for y Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+5 The company wasn't structured with a financing/construction split that you'd see at some bigger firms. CRE
+5 I’ve had a bit of exposure to infra and digital infra, and the way you threw out the many names that have digital infra exposure doesn’t make sense. This isn’t a rising tide lifts all boats kind of environment Works at Other
+5 Just love picking stocks, being right, markets in general. Market is just a giant psychology experiment on how global economies, markets, and micro/macro factors match up. herzyherzy
+5 I can’t reiterate enough that any sophomore or junior considering BDT&MSD for a summer internship or full time analyst should avoid the firm like a plague. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+5 I’m a Christian albeit not in banking. The truth is investment banking is not going to be a career that will satisfy you as a Christian. Investment Analyst in RE - Comm
+5 TA is certainly a great shop, and has been on a meteoric rise along with FP, in terms of tech PE shops (mainly tech PE at this point at least) fundraising. VP in PE - LBOs
+5 Embrace the work and realize that managing a struggling portco is crucial experience and it will set you apart from your peers the more reps you get in your career. skyline_77
+5 Engineer by training here. While python is more used (as others say here), R was literally made by data scientists and statisticians to make data analysis convenient. carl.sagan
+5 I used to be an Army Officer under Trump/Biden as an Infantry PL/XO and while I’m not ready to say the sacrifices I made to wear the uniform were in vain, they’re def not tangible. RaTnAp6
+5 I personally found the below helpful: 1) finding an active hobby that helps block out work for a time period and for enjoyment of life. Silla
+5 You're using terms like "color" and not even a banker yet. Get that internship first, kid bawstin
+5 What do you mean by “micro cap SaaS”? Are these early stage SaaS companies or publicly traded penny stocks? liquidiot
+4 CRE
+4 Lmao I think my undergrad GPA was like a 2.83 or something. Made up for it with perfect marks in busienss school, but by then no one gave a shit anyhow. CRE
+4 Hamas is winning the ideological war by brainwashing naive college kids. james55
+4 I'm not super familiar with the UK startup scene but this is what I know from Chicago and stories from SF/Silicon Valley. Best bet is to meet someone who is in the scene and they can normally be your compass. Apples_ulikethem
+4 It's been ok, last few years post-Covid were pretty good and saw the odd VP getting 7-figure TC in BBs. Things are a bit slower right now but still ok compared to the dull years of the mid 2010s. Deleveraged Sellout
+4 I see a mix in my clients and in my own firm. Lockwood
+4 A couple things to note: VP in RE - Comm
+4 No it's my fault for opening this thread Associate 2 in ER
+4 Big difference in seniority when considering MM/LO Senior analyst (with sleeve) at MM and analyst (PM track) at LO comparable to the top SMs Research Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+4 Seems like you're aiming for IB/PE based on your post. I'm currently on the waitlist for the MSc Finance & Accounting even though MSc Finance was my first choice. AnotherLondonMonkey
+4 Thanks. Unfortunately you will not be able to break in from there. I did a LinkedIn search and found 0 alumni. Understand that the UK system og recruitment heavily favours target universities. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Troob and Rolfe are the goats of DLJ boozerloser
+4 Would go to Warwick. It is in the UK easier to get sponsorship. Plus Warwick will be more known than Bocconi for the average HR. boib_1
+4 In every place I have worked with decent Summer Analyst and Intern groups, consulting, REPE, and Lending BB, we usually go to company events. capexprss
+4 The Real Estate Game - William Poorvu - Tells stories of deal closings, walks you through deals with live examples but is a straight forward non technical read. highly recommend Textbooks  Subordinatecapitalape
+4 My brother in christ, why on earth did you tell your current employer that you took another offer? Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+4 For Canada there is a difference between non-Ivey western and Ivey in terms of recruitment. Business School in IB - Gen
+4 Lol Ducera would never sell their Rx business, they punch way too high above their weight for the size of the firm Tryingtobreakinbro
+4 Not actually sure for the first one so hopefully somebody else has insight bc I'm curious too. In terms of recruiting, I only recruited in Chicago, but will say that its probably slightly easier than NY. Teller in Non-profit
+4 I can serve as a datapoint for you. Went to a decent UG, was interviewing for consulting and had a final round at an MBB (that I ultimately turned down) to go Active Duty after doing ROTC. Energ-yGuy
+4 Feel like theres a big gap between the two 🤣 Lil Piggy
+4 If you're focused on W-2 income for your second job as a key determinant of a significant portion of your career, then I would suggest you reassess your priorities. The asset classes, skills, etc. VP in PE - LBOs
+4 Congrats on getting your offer. By "good" at infrastructure, I assume you mean funds that are known for doing a number of deals in the infrastructure space. Also assuming you're interested in the equity side of infra.  pierheld
+4 Obviously NYC has tons of great restaurants. Some of my favorite are below: joshw12
+4 Find a common interest and become an expert on it. If yall don’t have one, ask around to find out what he likes doing and/or talking about the most. Research it until you know as much as him about it. Mr. John
+4 Don't even try to be perfect in life because no one is. The people who try way too hard to be perfect just fizzle out quickly. trying_my_best
+4 Great call. To be honest one of the students I mentor was in an MFE and decided to recruit FT at an OMM in Chicago. They told him he could withdraw if he wanted to since he completed his undergrad. Works at Akuna Capital LLC
+4 Completely agree with the point that MDs shouldn’t be treated with a level of respect different from Analysts. Everyone should receive the same level of respect. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+4 I imagine this needs a bit more context to make a proper judgement. For example, how senior are your family members at those PE shops and how much pulling power do they have? Incoming Analyst in PE - Other
+4 Hell yeah, congrats on getting admitted to Wash U. Go bears! Five Star Man
+4 Sounds like an Allen & Co or Qatalyst deal Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 People need to chill with gassing up secondaries… not tryna have more competition for these seats Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+4 Nerds who have zero outside interests. Have you ever met these guys outside the office? Like nails on a chalkboard trying to talk to them  millerbruce554
+4 Most earnouts in LMM/MM are 2-3 years after acquisition of the platform or tuck in depending on the case. Contingent liability recorded on BS at NPV and likelihood, possible mark to mark on IS/CF. Little Sheep
+4 Look, there’s no point in learning a new language. I have seen it over and over again, funds looking for native speakers. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+4 Recruiting gets earlier and earlier every year, and ik kids that finished this cycle in January (diversity), and also I was in processes for both CVP & EVR that gave out offers in February as a non-diverse male. SynapseCollapse
+4 Spot on. He should star in "How to Live a Double Life by Jim Donovan." If u work at GS, u know he works in PWM out of Boston. He never worked in Cville. VP in IB - Cov
+4 1. Most of the megafunds have a presence in Singapore. CVC, Baring EQT (now just EQT), TPG, Warburg, Blackstone, KKR, all have teams in Singapore. LPs typically see CVC as having the strongest team in SEA. lakakahakaka
+4 Heard the culture is great if you're homophobic Consultant in Consulting
+4 Work experience helps but what moved the needle this cycle was fit, European language ability, or profile (female/URM), especially for BB IBD. ibdlondonbro
+4 Seeing as my last comment got a lot of hits, I presume there are many lurkers here would benefit from some further insight, so here is a list of non-U Leeeeeeeeeeem
+4 With how raunchy its gotten, throwing my vote in for LionTree Adult Entertainment gwedcvtbuvodsgurnc
+4 5 sellsides at a time is a lot. It seems far too much. Although often at LMM and MM shops it's not about quality of advise but because your bank charges less fees. Its a volume game. Lockwood
+4 Let me know if you have any basic framework so far of what you plan for your travel (e.g. which countries, basic itinerary, things you really want to see/do). Mercurius
+4 You could probably get into a decent masters program, but you’d probably need to do some work upfront like taking a few grad classes to show the math aptitude and work with professors to angle the rec letters appropriately hbwesttoeast
+4 Agree w/ the above especially on work hours being much more intensive as you don't have the down time waiting for an MD to turn comments like you do in banking. M_As_In_Mancy
+4 If you want to take the revenge route and hire a lawyer, you can do as above poster and negotiating payment after the case closed as you might potentially have a good case. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 Having worked at one of those MM PEs I would say take the MF REPE. I will not take follow up questions, if you read the existing posts on those firms you'll have your answers. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Midd places well in BB - COO of GS. Get like 4 kids a yr there. Barclays like 3, RBC like 3. BofA 3. Only competing against like 20 dedicated kids. woptopdroptop
+4 Your school isn't doing you any favors, but you could be in a worse place. Pros: Excellent GPA, lots of work experience that is somewhat related AFoldingChair
+4 This comment comes from someone with some connections in the industry, so I was privileged enough to have an advantage because of this. dnejffiskswn
+4 There are a bevy of ways to better leverage your free time aside from coming on here to start arguments. Might I suggest getting on your knees and praying you’re not in my group?  BWorthIV
+4 Easy.  Imagine a theater full of the most successful business people whose careers you'd like to have.  Elon Musk, Jamie Dimon, whoever . . doesn't have to be someone famous, just someone you want to be. Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+4 I just said I'm a pussy Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 By brand name/prestige, are we talking about it in the eyes of other people in CRE? Because outside of CRE people, 99% of people don't know what JLL or Eastdil are. Guy in LA
+4 You can do all the modelling for a stabilized multi acquisition on a post it note. decrebepro
+4 Back to flipping logos on ppt brother, your VP is going to give you nice treats if you do tricks for him i hear Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 Based on the facts you've laid out, I would be on the way out too. Sounds like carry isn't worth much and future pipeline shaky at best if investor relationships have soured. brosephstalin
+4 First off, congrats on the milestone (considering all things true). It’s an incredible accomplishment to be beyond the $100M mark and liquid.  aw.ib
+4 They've patted radicals on the back for years and now are surprised that they're doing radical things. I find all of this amusing really. I'm sure this impotent nerd rage will stop the Middle East war. JulianRobertson
+4 You're over-thinking it, in my view. Count WACCula
+4 This is good advice, SB'd Quaneaser
+4 I agree, great way in.  Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+4 congrats on cvp Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 I think everyone should have 3 specific colognes for 3 occasions. 1. Gym, 2. Office, 3. Going out. Your gym fragrance should be subtle, focus on a scent that smells fresh and clean (think floral, citrus, light woods). radio528
+4 Honestly, just try and develop an opinion within 15 minutes and stick to it. Undervalued company with strong turnaround potential, topline growth story, etc...   terabyte
+4 Should still apply. They worked hard to close the loopholes and limit it to truly senior execs only. I can't see a court saying some ASO or VP meets this definition. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+4 CIM has a very different meaning in that group, so be prepared. VP in PE - LBOs
+4 At your level (and the answer would be different if you were a little more senior), I think the partners would probably appreciate you making their (and those of anyone between you and them) lives as easy and quick as poss Count WACCula
+4 Don't be SCGC Search Partners.... Works at Truist Bank
+4 Qatalyst with $59 billion volume on 6 deals total.. holy fuck  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 I'd say if your firm does find out, it'll almost certainly be because of something you did, not anyone else. Count WACCula
+4 A simple man inspired to teach JavaScript to refugees from Africa Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+4 Appreciate One Rock being on both the "emerging funds" and "going downhill" funds list simultaneously  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 So I'm currently in my second year and I did one econ module last year and two this year(which includes econometrics). sleepisneeded
+3 1. Depends on your profile. Will obviously help if you land something big that everyone on here is chasing. All things equal, absolutely preferred, but if you are at a target not necessary (again profile dependent). Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
