+15 Just to add some high level context / history on BofA for those less aware: prior to GFC the brand was non existent in mega cap IB. It was maybe 20th in league tables. Hags28

+15 Our MD called at 9:45 p.m. on a Thurs night because a client might consider a transaction in the next 18–36 months. He asked for a “light five-pager” by breakfast. Anonymous Monkey.

+15 "a large Australian infrastructure fund" Damn I wonder which fund it could be.. Investment Analyst in PE - LBOs
+15 Analyst 1 in AM - FI
+15 Stanford full-stop. Both Stanford and UVA are excellent schools, but unless you feel very strongly that you would enjoy the social experience at UVA substantially more, then you should go to Stanford. Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+14 Bro signed off like its an email  Intern in IB-M&A
+14 Ok I'll bite on this. Mostly because I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but also to bring some positivity to PE to offset the negative posts about how the industry is screwed. Age: mid 30s Associate 2 in PE - LBOs

+14 Not good, my entire ASO class is planning to leave Associate 3 in IB - Cov

+14 I think it's better to earn what you have through your own hard work and skillset, not just because your dad made a phone call to one of his buddies.  Fast and Fiduciary
+14 PE prospective returns are ugly. There is a natural inclination to bet on some cyclicity when it comes to investor sentiment. Problem with that in PE is two fold with the second spring from the first.   CPDDOUGH
+14 with my friends we just send each other CIMs and hide messages in the disclaimers so compliance wont see it Intern in IB-M&A
+14 FWIW, hardest interview I ever had was Greenhill RX Prospect in IB - Gen

+14 There is a ton of misinformation and crazy speculation in this thread, which shows most of you don't know anyone at Greenhill Toronto. Just wanted to chime in (I have a really close friend who works there) VP in IB-M&A
+14 I find your witty remarks amusing at best. You talk of Dyal & Co. as if you know the Dyal & Co. Your decadal performance doesn’t even scratch a singular deal of theirs. Orenji
+14 Even my grandma knew what was happening with TikTok Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+14 Guess they should have been 7 days in office instead of 6 PM in HF - Event
+14 act retarded/unprepared to assert dominance Prospect in IB-M&A
+14 I'll try to give you my perspective. I dated a girl while still in S&T. While not IB hours, they were still not good by any extent, and I was always pretty drained after a bad day. usernameladiesman217
+14 It's Frankfurt. No one there is happy. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+14 Jesus all these other commenters are so afraid. Just ask the associate to grab coffee and ask how you can work together in a better way. See why he’s wanting so much lead time. Just talk to them Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+14 Obviously AI risk to office isn't groundbreaking. Neither is "more risk should mean more return." Which is exactly why taking on another layer of office risk for core-plus returns is so hard to explain. Managing Director in RE - Other
+14 Agree with what you said, but why did you recruit for Houston in the first place if you wanted to recruit on-cycle for NYC/SF buy-side? Associate 1 in PE - Other
+14 Just finished a Magician Assistant Superday in Vegas. Easily the most intense recruiting process I’ve been through. Prospect in IB - Gen
+14 You have to be slightly weird if you already know pre-UG that you want to work in finance and hence apply to Wharton. Normal smart kids will just go to HPY or something. Ladd
