+1 IMO it's not too hardo, but I know some people think otherwise. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Are you really saying that there isn't much publicly available information on what industries Qatalyst, Allen, LionTree and Raine work on? These guys aren't exactly skunkworks, they put it on their websites Associate 2 in IB-M&A

+1 Where did you see this? Starting in Aug and haven't heard anything lol Prospect in Consulting
+1 Literally no dog in the fight considering I’m in RX at an EB lol. Just met some dudes there who were all good guys. Got really good recruiting advice and support from a senior there years ago.  user_5991
+1 Next tier of Chicago funds goes, in no particular order, Wynnchurch, Vistria, Wind Point, Linden, Pritzker Private Capital. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Went to corporate development relating to my sector coverage. Possible to still move to lending/financing related to my coverage later I guess. Analyst 3+ in CorpDev
+1 A good point that's often overlooked is that tokenization doesn't automatically make an illiquid asset liquid. bemiajackson05
+1 Agreed and the latest QQQ move kinda proves the point. FinanceGirlieee
+1 Realistically for interns they’re just checking dates (if at all). More broadly though, if there’s bullets on your CV that you can’t reasonably defend in an interview, I would probably get rid of them… Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I can confirm that firms do this for SA '27. At a BB and had to go through this last month. Super chill as long as you haven't actually lied about anything significant in your resume. Takes about a week. Prospect in IB - DCM

+1 Yes it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that’s what he’s alluding to VP in RE - Comm

+1 Lacrosse segway pipeline finance  wuandale33

+1 Sounds like he is blowing up PM in HF - RelVal
+1 Extremely inaccurate, the entire law firm would be broke from fines from being held in contempt, and most would lose their clients due to breach.  CPMA's15
+1 did cd&r write this Associate 3 in PE - LBOs

+1 i do zen meditation summediocre
+1 A wise choice in my opinion. Only thing I’d add is that for the duration of med school you’ll need to maintain the same drive that propelled you to IB. HowlerMonkey
+1 Didn't read all this but posting this seems like a bad idea, can't imagine that many offers were given from LG analyst program so feels like you're probably doxxing yourself... Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 I agree with the comment above. Independent sponsor path is hard, but at least offers very compelling economics and entrepreneurial energy once you start closing good deals. riverpaint
+1 I can attest to all of this. They are extremely frustrating to work with, unprofessional, and offer absolutely no personal connection. LoneWolf09
+1 Worked at a similar firm in the space and this 100%. Lots of deal exposure which is great but it’s a lot of ‘narrative building’ vs. hard analysis. usernameless
+1 Both terrible but Alexander Chapman is exponentially worse than Pinpoint Amazon Prime
+1 We’re literally the only team I know that does this at scale if I’m being honest, and even then, the Senior PM and my direct PM are the ones who have this strategy and are quite close…so I’ve ended up becoming more macro a Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 It's wild how unforgiving the automod is with certain keywords (even when those keywords barely make sense and/or are misinterpreted) but the bot is totally chill with constant spam.  CRE

+1 Just scroll LinkedIn today and you will see for yourself Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Lincoln M&A is PE shop. PE not selling. Growth in VOG rn (Pretty much 100% return for VOG). Associate Consultant in Consulting
+1 Worked in ECM. Exit opps for women were almost always IR. For men, if you don't get out by the junior associate level you need to think about b-school. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Anyone hear back after 3R? eaopfaepof
+1 bankst...?  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Dumbest most brain dead thing I've ever heard. How do you expect to get a SA gig at any shop after your freshman year? Recruiting timelines are not going to work in your favor. MaritimeLeverage
+1 Why do this to yourself? tireisis
+1 have seen a few places do this. Audax in boston does this. JJPPMM

+1 Q is pretty sweaty but obviously great - super hard to get in here. Allen is a really cool firm and is on some of the best deals, only thing is return offers here are pretty bad. Liontree does cool deals too. Any 2 IB - Cov.
+1 Don't think that's true. I left Bain a year ago and while I was there the policy was to match McKinsey. Typically BCG leads comp increases, McKinsey matches, then Bain matches McKinsey. Works at Bain & Company
+1 i wouldnt compare literal nobel prize winners to a random college kid who has 0 real research output…. but yes leo is a certified retard equitystrat
+1 i read his shit and its garbage… its just regurgitating bottlenecks any decent research person knew in the valley - nothing novel. if you read his shit and think its genius then you fit right into the AI slop crowd Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 That's because of how many landmark tech m&a deals there are now compared to back then. Q is a small firm (by headcount) and doesn't have the capacity to work on all of them, and companies know that donttry098
+1 Agree with everything above. Not worth it man. Do a semester early at most (stretch it to a year if you get an offer & are bored of school). Was in a similar position. dogwater79
+1 Is this actually true? Genuinely asking. Are top BBs better than the top EBs? wimpychimp2000
+1 Thanks this is exactly what I needed to hear in this moment. nepobaby2
+1 never give up, but be smart about it. knowing when to push is important. don't underestimate networking.Don't be mainstream, show what makes you different (again in a smart way). ER 15

+1 Dude's a certified douche, but this is what like the 3rd or 4th time? PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Bayes at masters level should only be treated as an insurance (imo). It's not bad, but it's not one of the main-target programs. It's a high semi at masters, however none of those programs are the main flagship ones. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 If you’re a first or second year analyst and have some GP-led reps we’d probably give you a look and reset you 1 year. At the associate level we wouldn’t. Generic Banker
+1 All the named groups are solid, although they are more niche. If you’re genuinely interested in the subsector, you can definitely make a strong exit given that you’re a good candidate. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Not a chance. Ozymandia
+1 CREhighly esteemed French champagne producers are already buying up tracts to help ensure their future production CRE

+1 Are some of these names even S&T desks? Thought some of these were like agency brokers or electronic liquidity aggregators. Working on an agency broker desk is not the same as S&T. Works at Akuna Capital LLC
+1 Ts fired me up twin. Boutta crush some brews now. Happy Friday! Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Typical Isaiah comment section Regional_pubfin
+1 Its just painful because the capabilities of the models are there, but the harnesses and guardrails that IB tools sit in are so constraining that they are so useless and behind public versions.  Teller in Non-profit
+1 If you didn't know what Sharpe ratio was before you made that comment youre ngmi MaritimeLeverage
+1 Glaze Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Not to kill your buzz, but I think you should ask yourself - "What does this sauce mean to you?" pbandjpartners

+1 Used to work in PE, ignore title Im now in StratFin but to query Hebbia to our private drive was so frustrating kept crashing and summations/reports weren't that accurate for us so we had to end up using Claude add-ons and Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+1 He has a ton of insider information in an emerging and fast moving field and is very well connected. Doesn't seem that curious. henry10
+1 one recently opened in Midtown NYC that already seems to be popular. But otherwise besides the classics (sweetgreen, cava/naya, chipotle), local bodega style shops and food trucks are the most bang for your buck slop deliciousIRR
+1 one more thing to add is that i know a few ppl in Asia who manage 1bn+ from billionaire connections and thats how some HFs or VCs operate…. equitystrat
