+1 Spot on. Only wrinkle is that he’s currently dating a 4 and sees this as a shot to getting back to dating a 6. Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 I had tons of success doing this earlier in my career. This trick is to make it short and punchy. Not a 20 page deck that seems like your recycling a case study for a different process. Principal in PE - LBOs

+1 bump Prospect in PE - LBOs
+1 yes, you’re basically a pledge. notyourcupoftea
+1 path dependency is real. stop playing for optionality / theta to decide what you like. certain brands and industry coverages work better if you want to go elsewhere. iMamba
+1 This. Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Do it, left to startup after 1.5yrs, IB not worth it at all. Go live your life and take some real equity risk now whilst you have time on your side enlightenedfinancebro
+1 It’s going to be tough but not impossible. Get a job at sell side and try to pivot that. I’ve seen it done by a guy in his 40s who moved to buy side single manager after sell side sick_willy
+1 I remember two kids in my analyst class left i) Left for a SM HF (not sure how they swung that) and seemingly is still in the same firm 6-7 years later so must be doing pretty good for themselves ii) Left for a startup tha VP in PE - LBOs
+1 OzymandiaIf you are Risk averse then real estate is a horrible industry to be in.  There are plenty of much safer ways to make money Rick Kane
+1 Pods, quant, some privates still net growing. Not distress or activism or even SM fundamental — net losers of late. There’s always exceptions to the rule so take with a pinch of salt. iMamba
+1 Maybe it’s different where you are, but for the US city I recruited out of, each MBB’s interview process wasn’t that similar, with McKinsey’s being much more intense than the other 2 and Bain’s being, in my opinion, less f StrategyChimp
+1 Great story but what banker wakes up at 6:47am? Thats seems like hell burner18363737728
+1 UChicago ojapar20
+1 Remember that EVR uses the GS title model. The VP band includes people who were just promoted to VP and those who are making MD next year. ravena
+1 How did it go? Any color on process? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Honestly, 0/16 is way too small a sample to conclude anything. Cold email is a volume + targeting game, and the fact that you’ve already gotten 4 calls means the machine works. Chimp Dreams
+1 Bro became CEO, bought the bank, hit $40bn and still logged on at 6:47. At some point you gotta realize the problem isn’t the job. Chimp Dreams
+1 Think a lot of people view PE very idealistically. Think at your stage of life, trying to land an IB associate role is your top shot, settling for analyst if necessary. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. asdf1248
+1 "FERPA enables the confidentiality of student education records by legally prohibiting schools from disclosing personally identifiable information without written consent. Singlebysunday
+1 Converting a PDF document to an Excel spreadsheet is best accomplished with a PDF-to-Excel converter that can detect tables and maintain their rows and columns. SimonBrookstone

+1 Hi, Did you do a first round interview? How did that go? Thanks jst0043
+1 Capital markets is paradise Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Yes also the Oxbridge brand is super solid! That's another strong plan! boib_1
+1 rx exits better than m&a Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Assuming you have been going for a few weeks now at 16 emails a week, 4 calls is actually decent. As long as the reply rate is above 5%, I would say just keep going. RTX3070
+1 Going to toss this into the mix here but what about GP stakes / GP solutions like Petershill, Dyal, Hunter Point etc? Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 It hurts at first, but after a few years it'll loosen up and you might even feel a bit of pleasure Abusement Park
+1 readthe10kName one thing you gonna need a rope for. I think you missed the joke CRE
+1 It’s Europe so I’d assume you can show up nude and complain about the conditions and win a lawsuit. Ehmerica
+1 Depends mostly on what you want to do after, so I'd start there. LedgerShelf
+1 Initial reaction was disgust. Now that more has come out it is still disgusting but a lot less illegal. Ehmerica
+1 Because analysts are the closest to the materials, and we are supposed to flag / think through any issues that seniors may have missed. This separation good analyst vs. bad analyst. wallstreetguineapig
+1 Since when was Barclays a DB tier lol  shdnxmfkod234
+1 At the very top would be the hyper niche / smaller boutiques (Q, Dyal, Tidal, AECA, Ardea) that pay out hilariously high bonuses. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Have you generated significantly more in fees/revenue for the firm than your comp? Unless you can point to data, it would be hard to justify right now. In 2026 real estate, staying employed is the new raise. CoffeeBong
+1 I’m In a similar if not the same boat rn. Currently at a large bank not BB but decently large doing cap markets. Looking to go into traditional advisory/coverage ish role at a BB or strong mm. unluckybanker
+1 Bump this as-dfg-hjk
+1 Absolute sweat shop, avoid like the plague.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 How do they compare against JPM? Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Vouching for the cliquey culture which is exacerbated by poor junior hiring imo, personality hires probably contribute to the sweatshop issue momonke
+1 An MBA will cost twice as much and take twice as long, and it's only likely to provide advantages over an MSRED if A) you decide to pivot out of RE into a different field, or B) you want to be hired by a real estate privat VP in RE - Comm
+1 Intern in IB - CovSuspension from what? Living near 500ft of a school?  VP in IB-M&A
+1 DesaProve to yourself that you are much better with actions. Totally worthwhile generic platitude to post on an 11-year-old thread  IsItREPE

+1 UBS too high  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Deleted. PolarCola

+1 Be a weirdo :) Freaknomics
+1 CM would probably be easier from a networking pov. lowball_larry
+1 I'd say easily coverage based on long term optionality. Also curious which tiered firm did you intern at? Top BB/EB (I'm recruiting FT and haven't seen many people get 1 offer let alone 2) Prospect in IB-M&A

+1 uchicago >> ross > uiuc Prospect in Credit
+1 How much was “on the lower end” for the NYC job? You gotta take that and figure the rest out when you get there.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 How do you think about capital deployment / risk budgeting throughout the year? Would you say you practice more conservatism before building a PnL cushion? Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 Close with my associate 2 (now 3) at WF. 200 base, 200 bonus Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Based in Europe, I think its even easier to get into LC PE from MBB than MM. hansdieter1
+1 wouldn't read too much into the title. three rounds in, it's still an interview until they tell you otherwise. asking the recruiter whether the superday is still planned is completely reasonable. LedgerShelf
+1 I've seen many profiles that go into the MiM at LSE and LBS... It's definitely not a strong pipeline into high finance like their MFA or MiF programs are.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Astorg blowing up - raising hurdle from 8% to 12% to shore up current fundraise Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Seemed relatively easy but it’s been 4 working days since I had it and I’ve heard nothing back so maybe wasn’t as easy as I thought (edit: nvm - progressed earlier today) Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Evercore PCA does 0 modeling and minimal materials of their own.. they literally push everything on the sponsor cuz they can. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+1 Tried it and turns out no one wants to see that let alone pay for it  Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 HSG above the rest, the others no boib_1
+1 The framing is important. Extrapolate out what poor performance means for your career experience as a junior and focus on those points. ravena
+1 If you believe in the thesis you should just go execute it on your own. Money is the easy part. ravena
+1 Good flow, just regional. Mr.GordonGrowth
+1 no updates yet anonymous_233
+1 Go to Bar Blaue. Really nice cocktails and interior seating, I believe it's possible to book online but not a big wait if walking in unders
+1 Why did you turn the job down instead of just getting a rommmate and continuing to job hunt and network while actually living in NYC?  IsItREPE
+1 Lincoln is competing with the WB, Baird, HLs of the world and deserves more recognition, especially in industrials. Coming from someone in another MM industrials group.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Hi ankit.gupta.us
+1 Listen.  StardustCrusader

+1 how do you hit "big themes" in a tight pod risk model? Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 How do you deal with market unwinds ? Do you ride them out or hedge ? stockbondanalyst
+1 hey! interviews are definitely more technical as the teams run quite lean, and they need people who know how to do stuff and how do not require baby-sitting and ramping up. almost no fit questions which is good imho fifth_footnote
+1 Do not go to this bank.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Any thoughts on Ensis, GLC, MB? Appreciate the info provided, super helpful Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Personally haven’t heard anything and not getting any word from recruiters as well Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 If you are serious about it. You have audit / accounting skills. Use your professional skills. Write financial breakdowns of highly leveraged companies. Show them to people who invest. Maybe you can add value.  henry10
+1 Sure, but then you end up competing with the actual operational consultants (A&M, FTI, M3, Alix, Ankura, etc). And the problem with that niche is that you need serious scale to make the business model work. Associate 2 in IB - Restr
