+1 Cambridge advertising their Executive MBA programme on this website proves that they don’t have anything close to Oxford’s brand power. Prospect in Non-profit
+1 Thanks again — this is really helpful. One last thing on the case and then I’ll stop bothering you. When you say they asked a series of questions about market forces, do you remember the types of questions they asked? bananajoe47
+1 what if it's actually a psyop to make you hate AI so competition stays down when AI eats us all Developer in RE - Comm
+1 A little bit into June. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Depends on a lot, like how many kids, divorce, market conditions, lifestyle, etc. Starting in PE now may have very different outcomes than starting 20 years ago. gfour
+1 Prospect, that is a great attitude that will get you looks at many banks and many processes! 🤣🤣🤣 Analyst 1 in AM - FI
+1 So are associates just cooked on PE in general if you don’t go during your first 3 years of banking? Kinda makes sense, but still feels like there could be an opening if you have decent industry knowledge. solonwarning
+1 Heard it’s mostly financing though, not m&a curious George 2345
+1 while the sun has long set on Britain Londons demise a financial centre is way overblown it is still the place worldwide for many types of insurances (esp multinational stuff).  thegoat2535

+1 Claude. It's more sophisticated. Talking to it for a few weeks and I'm much more smarter SomeCaliberTalent
+1 idk how this kid is going to survive college lol bananabaykong
+1 Wondering about their rep as well danplainview
+1 Actually read your LevFin primer a while back, and just read the Credit Analysis one. Subscribed to your LinkedIn page just now, will continue to follow! Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Well. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Nice post. User base on here now is populated with a bunch of broccoli headed 17 year olds who won’t get this and probably don’t care to try either!  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 From thanksgiving sophomore fall until you land an offer do nothing besides recruit and school whatdoesthefosxsay
+1 FaZe IBD. Heard the hours were pretty terrible and you never see the sun tampawampa
+1 CMC. The alumni network is very strong and supportive. Dont know a single person in IB from a college named after a toothpaste brand. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 That was for full AN1 year in FY2024. This year was better, even with base raising to 110/125. Overall flat across CIBC but once you reach associate the bonus gap between groups starts to widen. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Congrats on Ducera Ibench315
+1 Its unfortunate because your life will likely tank a bit (if you like big city), but otherwise I’d still say Richmond. AnonymousRabbit

+1 “much more smarter” lol slime_
+1 Congrats, you’ve discovered that IRS withholding tax treatment is vibes-based jurisprudence. Gross it up, eat the DSCR, call it ‘regulatory risk premium’ in the IC deck, and move on. Zurla
+1 Niche but genuinely fascinating. The booking desk DTT angle is something I have never seen addressed cleanly anywhere. Following this thread hard. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I use Netscape and Microsoft Office suite, the F1 button has an integrated customer support feature sirocco2026
+1 Meanwhile, my PE firm would have you get pulled into an office if you didn't use AI for IC memos. Firms that don't embrace some kind of on-prem AI solution is losing so much productivity.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Congrats! That’s a monumental achievement. Summer Associate in Consulting
+1 We’re in the endgame now, where people have become secondhand thinkers. I think I’m going to learn how to farm. VP in PE - LBOs

+1 2 weeks seems a bit long XXZOP
+1 What monkey suggested you could finish the SIE with one day of studying? Probably takes around 30-40 hours so you'll need a week  XXZOP
+1 Very heavy fees and tight spreads, ROE gets crushed with even very modest assumed increase in losses. I’ve spent a decent amount of time on the space and is a value trap IMO. notsospecialsituation
+1 This is anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt. Works at USAA
+1 Move to an operator/developer. Generally better WLB and your experience will be viewed as highly valuable.  ThatGuyBalls

+1 bro what DingalingMagnet
+1 someone struck out and is salty lmao Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Recently switched from a Municipal Advisory shop to a top 6 (by assets) commercial bank, so take with grain of salt. My group is underwriting & labels my role as a Credit Analyst III. Work split is approx. DaveAdvisory
+1 if I was forced to pick yes between coverage and M&A  yes, coverage is still better. Some of the other M&A technicalities you’re gonna learn on the buy side anyway Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Water ojapar20
+1 This joke is too advanced for this forum. ojapar20

+1 I hate to sound like the AI fear monger but coming from personal experience tech is fucked. I went to a top 3 uni for cybersecurity, all coursework, labs, and research projects could be done completely with generative AI. gmankingsman

+1 Could you elaborate more what you mean? I think I get some of it vanilla_twilight_options
+1 Slightly more nuanced take here. Director in IB - Cov
+1 It’s a new program they introduced this year. Like any diversity event, just go out there and network with everyone at the firm, ask good questions. They’ll keep tabs for next year. IWorkMoreHours
+1 How bout u selank maxx, how bout dat Analyst 2 in Private Credit
+1 From experience, getting internship experience early generally does not hurt your chances. amandalim
+1 It truly seems counterproductive given how wrong it is - they would be better off focusing on refining the search function with AI instead. acardboardmonkey
+1 Man what does this even mean..? baboune
+1 I am not an expert on the subject but have you considered Norton Antivirus? Heard from an acquaintance they have great M&A teams Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 A good trick I found was to listen to DCF podcasts during my sleep (put on loop), especially to really grasp the FCF concepts Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+1 Asian here low key no cap feeling you embarrass us. You think this is XHS where flexing is cool lol? olamiemie
+1 It’s all relative, I wouldn’t sweat age. I’m 27 and would take an analyst 1 role in a heartbeat. Would still earn more than most my age. nontarget_sad_boy
+1 Uber for sure has a MOAT. There was an App in NYC that offered cheaper rides and more money for drivers a couple months bank, and Uber had their legal/political mafia dismantle it within a month.  NahFAM69

+1 Congrats on Gugg! mulchygatorade

+1 so many misinformed and low intelligence ppl on this sub glaze over this kid. how is mega levered ai infra fund indicative of high IQ when its the obv answer? Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Think it is also priced with a startup element to it which is the TAM which makes the value deviate from the usual valuation that people are used on mature businesses that IPO GS under Blankfein
+1 I feel like this has to be a fake question. What do you mean how do you go from memorizing to understanding? Did you not graduate from high school? Are you not studying right now to get a college degree? liquidiot
