Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+4 Wf sounds way more like a BB. Who cares if UBS derives minor revenue from other regions if they aren’t even really leaders in those regions Prospect in IB - Gen
+4 Commenting on on statement you made -  Steam
+4 Completely useless to take it now since it lasts 4 years without association and then you'll have to take it again anyways when you start FT way down the line. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 Meta, no question. If you actually wanna do something technical or entrepreneurial, that's gonna be the best route there. monkeyvjit
+4 Did the same thing, except my nest egg got wiped by the MBA.  chihayafull
+4 i think it’s great. good for her Bank Slut
+4 Your type is the most insufferable. How about the fact that I can tell you didn’t take the time to actually write your message to me? I and many others find it rude. Does your economic model include a rudeness variable? Murphy_1827
+4 Right, and at one point I turned down a role in IR at a macro hedge fund and years later can't land an offer, with even more experience.  PaulAllenIsInLondon
+4 Thanks for the input, which side do you prefer? Assuming production being that is your background, are you a producer now? Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+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 Hi TO, thank you for your misleading shitpost Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 sigh this is correct  Prospect in IB-M&A
+4 Sorry, we're not doing this anymore. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+4 but saar i vant to be in amrika saarrr Nurse Rahma Dikhinmabhatt
+4 Fully agree with your last point! A couple of questions, though: Moronic_Monkey
+4 It is a weird market. On one hand, in the past two weeks, I know of few deals in the SE region where debt is coming due and the equity is wiped out and likely going back to the lender.  JZJammer
+4 Regarding the free labor comment, I think sometimes it can be the MDs that create that environment.  Deal Team Six
+4 I reject the premise here that the only KPIs we should be looking at are tax receipts and GDP. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+4 I came first at that Olympiad, will apply as well and mention it - that way you get caught. PaulAllensGlasses
+4 You could very well be qualified and be able to do the job just like everyone already at the fund. But that doesn't matter.  Mr Balloon Hands
+4 Since no one else has said anything I’m just going to say it. Kind of a gay name for a fund tbh  Cardale Jones
+4 Less availability of power, combined with hyperscalers' ever-increasing computing demands, should support higher pricing for powered sites. If anything, that dynamic suggests yields may increase. Director in RE - Other
+4 Moelis Tech (both SF and NY but SF more severe) post SVB absorption embodies every negative thing about Moelis that this forum talks about. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 You wouldn’t call it propaganda if the fee revenue league tables showed UBS was top 10 Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 Just another example of PE being one of the most retarded jobs a person can work (I work in PE). The traditional associate experience is straight up abuse and it’s stupid to pretend it’s anything but. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+4 I would say go with the Corp Dev seat here - IB associate work/life balance, in my opinion, only gets worse due to higher responsibility but still working on junior-level tasks. BlueMoonGoon
+4 Personally I think it’s a great option if your on a budget but would like others input  IBchimp88
+4 The insecurity of this comment reeks through heavy Intern in IB - Restr
+4 “The Midwest” like it’s a complete ghost town of finance rather than there being a couple of genuinely solid cities. Principal in PE - Growth
+4 Spot on -- far and away the issue in the US is spending. If you reduced waste / fraud / abuse and re-engineered some broken systems  (ex. The Penguin
+4 If BTC was trading at $1 and went to $100k sure thats like a 100000x But if it goes from 100k to 200k thats just a 2x. Is it worth it?  Analyst 1 in AM - Other
+4 If you look at the skyline of Shenzhen, China it is crazy.  Going from a population of 300,000 in 1980 to 18 million in 2026.  Want to know where globally priced building commodities and capital are going? odog @digitalimmortality.com
+4 Yo, pump the breaks hotshot. I can tell by your post and responses you lack awareness a little, which unless you check your ego is going to make recruiting hard for you. Let me be very clear: Principal in PE - Growth
+4 Dude probably just watched the materialist thehoodedarrow
+4 Sure. Information, not advice. The ESA provides exemptions for specific industries and jobs, as well as special rules for many roles (meaning they don't have to be paid OT). 81West
+4 Lol - good, spicy stuff. This rhetoric began with the previous CEO and has continued and amplified with Shankh. There's a lot of hubris there. But if you are allocating capital, would you rather allocate to Ventas? Pisgah
+4 Never realized that Barclays let all their worst bankers like Marco just go to UBS. Easier than firing and paying severance. Hindsight great move by Barclays Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+4 You can major in anything at Stanford (have met so many English, history, etc majors from target schools) but comp sci / engineering tends to be a very difficult degree with a lower GPA. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+4 Do you want to be in Chicago or NYC? Are you working or going into senior year?  Bank4L
+4 Gugg Intern with a return offer here. I wouldn’t call it carnage by any means. Just notably lower than last year. I do know of some people that grinded very hard this summer and did not receive offers. Prospect in IB - Cov
+4 There is a wide range of outcomes from UBS which will skew the view of whatever opinion you get. Generally very group dependent and goal dependent. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Would recommend a magnesium supplement over melatonin. Invest in quality pillows that work for you. Keep bedroom cool, where a weighted eye mask. Drink some chamomile tea an hour before you want to sleep. Fast and Fiduciary
+4 I think it is 100% an adoption issue. I have been at big brokerages my whole life and the tech roadmap is constantly all over the place, and a mile wide - inch deep. bananaboat55
+4 if you're used to this routine and you're not stressing, then it's one thing. Kevin25
+4 I would bifurcate it across fund types as well. MF has a much lower probability compared to LMM. At a MF, I'd estimate ~1-5% of Associates eventually make MD / Partner. VP in PE - LBOs
+4 Medline?  Not common from what I've seen to move up PE portco ranks at large companies like that.  Business School in CorpStrat
+4 It sounds like your parents were heavily involved in your childhood and shaping who you are today. Ask yourself if you can provide the same to your (future) kids, while working a finance job until 60. VP in PE - LBOs
+4 Unfortunately banking doesn't teach you shit about investing (I started in a coverage team at an IB), if it's just 2yrs in an IB program that you've done, then you have a lot of learning to do  LO Equity - Family Office
+4 Escp Mif places very well in London as well from what I've seen and is recognised (#1 for 3 years in a row now). If you're worried about French then target BBs in Paris. Revama69
+4 Low blow :/ especially if he hasn't done anything to you. monkeyman1717
+4 You should probably try to make it work before throwing in the towel just because. College is the last time in your life where women generally love you for you. Amazon Prime
+4 AI shit answer Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+4 I would take this as an indication to start interviewing, whether as intended feedback or not.  The VP promotion is as close to a rubber stamp as can be offered. Bank4L
+4 HC, RELL, FIG, M&A, M&T are all varying degrees of sweatshops for juniors despite not having good deal flow. All of the abuse with none of the upside from deal experience. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 You want to be long companies that are going to beat the bar and short companies that are going to miss the bar. thisisanexampleofausername
+4 timeline has accelerated alot. the LO AM like fidelity, dodge, wellington will start recruiting on ib timeline(jan 26).  Analyst 1 in AM - Other
+4 Happened to me when I was interviewing. Deloitte's IB arm reached out (even though I knew they didn't sponsor) and fast-tracked me to a superday. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 I completely agree. Now there is some subset of folks where this doesn't make sense, but for that majority of folks who live in NYC -- they can easily work elsewhere and find economic opportunity. Sequioa
+4 I went to HBS after applying to other grad programs in prior cycles. I applied and was waitlisted to Penn JD/MBA, accepted to a couple T10 law schools.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Clearly I’ve struck a chord. I’ve never before seen a wave of MS in a 15-minute span well after the original comment was sent. Jack's Smirking Revenge
+4 Your ability to prompt has nothing to do with your ability to adapt. It's okay, as people age their brains elasticity declines. It is just clear that your brains elasticity is on a rapidly declining trend.  ioncewenttoschool
+4 Dude what are you even talking about? He asked for a reasonable accommodation - literally required for companies by law. Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+4 5 camels for every 1 years of employment and 72 virgins upon making MD Capital of Structure
+4 Rich toad had some list he published a while ago I think you could refer to. You’re also forgetting the biggest LO HQed in that region t rowe price Research Associate in AM - FI
+4 Presumably, had OP read Nietzsche, or, for that matter, any sort of literature or philosophy that provokes the soul, and paired it with even the smallest bit of contemplation, they would not consider it superior to be an " Dragonir
+4 That's definitely interesting to see and is disconcerting. I'd love to see the underlying/root cause analysis behind the deterioration. I'd also love to see the trend over time with the new BLS head. Frieds
+4 Well idk, killing 20K+ Palestinian children might bother normal people. NewIndustryHorizon
+4 Agree with other commenter. Aside from the fundraising issues seems like a sweet gig to give up for a shittier lifestyle in IB and no goodwill. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+4 Friend was just miserable during their associate stint.  VP in PE - LBOs
+4 this post: "whats the point of grinding in high school? by the time you graduate you will be 18 and life is already over by then. might as well enjoy youth" HFPM15
+4 3 months notice period is typically at the MD level and even then more recently trend is to release MDs early given expense (as one of the posters correctly mentioned it is the firm the individual is resigning from that is Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Sure. Look at US Steel. (Deal is closed now, but ticker was X) December 2023. Price is trickling up before gapping overnight to $50ish if my memory is correct. PeterEater
+4 Sorry to hijack your thread, not my intention at all but I wanted your advice as you're in an interesting seat. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 J-Money what’s happening man. You were my favorite intern [email protected]
+4 0. My areas of expertise are mostly industrial and retail in NYC and the surrounding suburbs. I don’t have a $10mm equity check to take down a $25mm warehouse in the Meadowlands or Long Island.  Pokemon Master
+4 . CoffeeBong
+4 Because it’s very easy to spin it to yourself that this was related to a specific personal health issue that /just so happened to be activated by insane IB hours/.  Ruebenesque
+4 Not entirely familiar but have worked on a handful of engagements for PV on the debt & equity side. Gold-ManSacks
+4 You're a bottom. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 As hseiebeei mentioned above, we don't really have spring weeks in Aus. SubprimeLending2008
+4 Suits - Pick up something from Suitsupply for around $600. The value is incredible for what you pay (high quality suit for under $1k), and it’s really all you need for the summer. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 No, do not quit without something lined up. Unless your job is toxic to the point where it affects your health, just recruit on the side. It’s an extremely tough job market in publics. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+4 That's basically it - no one wants to underwrite enterprise software at a mid-teens+ EBITDA multiple when there's broad uncertainty about their durability in a world where AI potentially 1) materially decreases the cost to Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 Would agree; sponsor's overhyped on this forum. Nobody at the bank knows what they actually do. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 Another point is that it's very much more possible to hit home run deals at the smaller check size level. The lack of institutional competition for those deals means you can still unbury some interesting stuff. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+4 The next level after AC is C which is a people manager role with very high expectations and attrition. ccfarmer
+4 I wish I had more specific advice. Biggest advantage I had was being and A2A and a number of closed deals sitting in the associate seat from pitch to close I could speak through on. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+4 look up what a sharpe ratio is via google and don't ask grok, and you'll realize why that comment you just wrote makes you look very dumb. ConsultingKid2022
+4 Drink and party with upperclassmen from there the offers will come. Helped me land offers at my target school and was effortless.  hedopi3701
+4 Disgusting how vile f*minists / Beckies are trying to confuse the audience.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 I'm going to play devil's advocate here. It's more often than not usually worth it to start your career in IB. Manager in CorpStrat
+4 There's also possibility #3 which no one is mentioning i.e. your metabolism is slowing down from calorie restriction or stress. NoEquityResearch
+4 they also dont give A- grades, its just A+, A (both are 4.0) or B, so easier to get close to 4.0 if the curve is 82% (80+ is A), whereas other schools like UofT/UBC/McGill curve to B/B+. Prospect in IB - Gen
+4 HC team doing quite well this year as well senior_associate@goldman_stanley
+4 I worked with them on a distressed opportunity that they invested in. Very sharp, polite, nice and humble human-beings. I really enjoyed the interaction with them. Associate 1 in IB - Restr
+4 The only reason it exits fine is because of legacy BB name and because it's very hard to get a great view on a canidate given the rushed nature of on-cycle. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 If you like playing sports, come to ND. There are parties just about every weekend, and they're pretty easy to find, but I honestly couldn't have more fun than I do at ND. Mr. Disagreeable
+4 International people cannot switch jobs easily. They must keep their job or else they will be exiled from the country. So they will endure long hours. They will endure toxicity. FlyingBoat
