+4 At 16, you’re already ahead of most students by thinking about networking this early. Rhonda.mangaroo
+4 I think this is sort of on the low end honestly - after PE your base should be somewhere between $150-200K with a cash bonus of 10-15% + equity. You need to be looking at manager level roles at the low end. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+4 I came first at that Olympiad, will apply as well and mention it - that way you get caught. PaulAllensGlasses
+4 Your write up while nice reaches the wrong conclusion. Standard transformers are O(n^2) but all the work has been focused on cutting some part of that down. WSRaider

+4 In terms of junior job headcount it has always been minimal for 10 years and this will always be the case.  Associate 1 in S&T - FI
+4 My first 6 months was an absolute dumpster fire. Turned out I worked for a manipulative psycho. Will never forget - have never felt this out of my depth and stressed. In hindsight I was being actively made to fail. VP in PE - LBOs
+4 Not bad use of LET function, but I do think simplicity and practicality outweigh complexity. Breaking up the LTV into sub-calcs for the Fwd NOI and the Cap Rate build up can make it easier to audit. FinnesseGod
+4 Sorry this took so long to respond to lol. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+4 In theory, more bodies should mean less money but this summer did not reflect that math. I think analyst comp however is slightly removed from bank performance and instead has to compete against other entry roles. Bank4L

+4 A lot of semi targets or low targets have scholarships for community college transfers. USF is a non target. It's possible from there, but if you're already transferring I would aim as high as you can. Associate 3 in IB-M&A

+4 EVR best of the rest IMO.Other than GS/JP/MS most should take EVR over other banks Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Global Banking revenue was down 22% YoY as of Q2. Bonus pool is going to be so small especially post guaranteed payouts and because overall GB HC is higher than ever in recent memory. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 As others have mentioned, the big downside is that you're effectively cross-collateralizing all your upside. Ozymandia
+4 Agree but disagree as well. NoEquityResearch

+4 I finally have figured out who PEarbitrage
+4 Fully agree and the scary part about this is that these kids are supposed to be the cream of the crop of their class. Imagine what the sub 3.5 GPA crowd looks like.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 This is either a poorly executed ad or someone who is secretly 16 years old. Obviously property management is a good idea. This isn’t some life hack or unique secret.  CRE
+4 Stanford will give you more optionality down the line if finance isn't your thing. You may end up attending stanford and be influenced to join the tech/entrepreneurship scene anyways. Hardo Intern
+4 I think there are really two different junior experiences. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 Chicago offices are super small. Much smaller than you'd think (like 2 SA per summer, at some places). CuriousGeorge1024
+4 These are the quality posts that keep me coming back to this site. Greenspan's Panties
+4 i think if you don't have kids, a family, health concerns, or hobbies and want to devote your life for a job with lots of uncertainty, stress, and a backloaded compensation scheme that you may be aged out of, it could make K5JbYq3Zg2MvXw4L8HpR7TsE6FnU1DcO0AaSbWxPdQzCfGjViNhTmLoIrY
