+4 Recommend reading the company transcripts of earnings calls, can find on the website. Should give you context around the business. Also look for historical patterns, but forecasting is more of an art than science. Rags to Hermes
+4 The is a common response that I see but it doesn't make any sense to me. Simple supply and demand would dictate home prices would be where they are today because of that 4-10 million home shortage, we're at equilibrium. AllThingsMulti
+4 I landed a VP role. This one (alongside 90% of my ~15-20 interview processes) were through the headhunters though I did go the mile on one or two larger firms through networking. VP in PE - LBOs
+4 Lmao don’t trust the dude who says he’s an MD. It’s probably a fellow intern who wants to up his return offer chances. Intern in PE - LBOs

+4 I've had that Glenmorangie - part of a mixed pack of finishes, that's the Sauternes one if I recall correctly. It's very good - agree, on the sweeter side. Addinator
+4 Your comment is impressive, including all the details that a bot would capture and generate a response seamlessly. Determined

+4 Yes, IB is a risk averse profession. But, I would caution you about your view of how things work in other areas. Executive Director in IB - Cov
+4 If you’re a VP in banking you have all the requisite technical skills. I wouldn’t stress over any type of case study. If you’ve worked on story telling to sell a business or raise capital it’s process wise similar. Ravena
+4 You're obviously not getting any attention because you're steaming your clothing, not ironing it. /s Whatever1984

+4 The reason for IB being such a bad environment overall is that no one wants to stay. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+4 Only 3s you’ll be shooting are 3am nights GorillaBanker
+4 Zuck did it Gates did it Bezos did it. So can you. If you go to a great school like them you have all the resources needed to succeed . You just need to go against the grain and be delusional enough to achieve it. Intern in IB - Gen
+4 It can be, especially if you can negotiate participation like carry or fee splits, but I'm not really in a position to take advantage of that. jarstar1
+4 You don’t know enough about hedge funds, and working at hedge funds, to meaningfully say working at a pod shop is your dream without people thinking you’re wasting their time. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge

+4 Every Spring, this conversation seems to resurface. www50
+4 What type of shitty firms aren’t giving laptops to their employees? That is a major red flag. Executive Director in IB - Cov

+4 If you ask within WSO, the view will always be “not that great” because the firm just doesn’t play in the same area of PE the most 21yo in WSO want to be in. mysongbook
+4 Comp being below street doesn’t help either - partially mitigated by LCOL area but still. Generic Banker
+4 You're getting downvoted because anon An2 with a "I know a guy" story about diversity and prestige is just old and tired at this point. At least get creative.  rabbit
+4 I’d say that if you are looking to lateral and ‘re-do’ your associate years, you can have quite a lengthy break, maybe even as much as one year assuming your experience is directly relevant for the funds you’re interviewin CompBanker
+4 I mean you can find plenty on here, although people ascribe it to the nature of tech EBs and not San Francisco. Do a search for Ducera for example. Analyst 2 in IA
+4 We've received reports from some of the national appraisal shops indicating in this case that the PGI = the EGI = the NOI. So, they apply the cap rate directly to that. DisgruntledAppraiser
+4 I’m a few years removed from the Houston banking scene but ya it’s super sweaty. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+4 Nah, fuck all that.  I was a director and I absolutely unplugged a bit. 1) The birth is not a surprise (and people are very aware for females) Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Not completely wrong, especially first half. The issue is when "hardos" make other people miserable, but being extremely dedicated to what you're doing while still being easy to get along with is a superpower.  bobmiller123
+4 A.CRE accelerator is a bit expensive but very well-versed.  capexprss

+4 It's sad, had the same at an established firm, with a bad reputation. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+4 Yes lbo2_1

+4 Hi sell_side_macro
+4 Love this! Some reactions: Works at UBS AG
+4 Analyst pay should prob be compared on similar alpha dollar returns, doing 100m p&l at an $3bn SM is quite a bit easier than 25m p&l on sleeve at an MM. Anchor
+4 It’s possible but I highly disrecommend this path. From personal experience I will tell you you can be .1%ile and still not make the bump. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 you unplug and then suddenly one year later you're laid off without explanation. have seen it happen personally with a female director at one of the banks you mentioned. haha_what
+4 You're probably getting downvoted because of the way you are phrasing things. If you truly know "everything about their juniors" - you would know that story only adds to the points made in this thread. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 Not a VP, but who knows. I would stay where you're making good money and long term can invest in the companies deal vs go out to the sales side making $0 and needing everything to go right to make money. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+4 Given you joined right when everything slowed down a lot you are in the majority for sure and people shouldn’t hold that against you  (for example if someone did a deal the first month they joined the firm, did they really Bro beans

+4 Your elite IB group couldn’t exit to a FO AM role if they wanted to unfortunately. Research Analyst in HF - EquityHedge

+4 Fr these stupid motherfuckers clearly live in their own bubble…blue collar workers also assume risk when striking because they live paycheck to paycheck and it would realistically take weeks to find a new job.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+4 New to this thread, not reading about any bullshit about diversity and nepotism. VP in IB-M&A

+4 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 Just curious - miles behind in what way? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Yeah the kid strongly advocating for GU said he’s still picking colleges himself lmao. It’s funny he likes Williams (good choice imo) but then advises OP to take GU over UChi. Some cognitive dissonance there. Research Analyst in PE - Growth
+4 I got past the case last year and had 5 interviews following that, which were very spaced out (August to December) but unfortunately didn’t get the offer. It’s a pretty intense process compared to the summer. Intern in IB-M&A
+4 Quick access toolbar Use ppt for a few days, only using the mouse and make note of the things that are taking forever to select in the ribbon. PapaHemingway

+4 What bottles did you get? Any you liked or didn't like?  Addinator
+4 They're asking for the bare minimum, a T12 and current rent roll and looking at T3/T12 data for income/expenses.  Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+3 For a long time I was worried that home prices would spike significantly as soon as rate cutting started, but lately I've started to think it may actually have the opposite effect. greyarea23
+3 I didn’t even read the rest of the post and came straight to the comments for this lol PimpChimpin
+3 Congrats on two amazing offers, however I think the answer is clear. RBC M&A all the way. RBC WILL become one of the best BBs in history in a couple of years with incredible growth and due to the CANADIAN WAY. xwd57164
+3 Are you hiring? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 1. Analyst / senior analyst level offers. Label varied by shop but consistent in terms of reporting structure. Above someone joining 2 years out of banking if it existed. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 Buddy this shit exists to ask questions. Hence why I’m asking a question. Frosture
+3 I wouldn’t say it’s impossible if he’s down there networking. I have friends who made this happen without Banking experience. Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+3 SoHo you say!!!!! capexprss
+3 In situations where they completely fuck you over and in the wrong I think pointing out facts is actually the best response. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Pm me if you want to hire me though cre debt fund guy
+3 I get it's easy, but I don't think you're getting it - they don't care about the data room and barely read your email because the deal is not worth it. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
