+4 Aww, the office bitch is barking again .. better get back to rubbing your MD’s belly, stirring his coffee and shinning his shoes   VP in IB - Cov

+4 Not sure what type of shop you’re at, but that’s pretty similar to the type of feedback we gave to interns (BB coverage group) Unfortunately, it likely means you won’t get a RO since the As/An have mostly indicated you wou Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Ah, okay. So you’re just a fucking loser? Associate 1 in IB-M&A

+4 Nice to see a fellow Korean and wanted I'd share my thoughts. I haven't been in your shoes so take it with a grain of salt. weaslbee

+4 The insecurity of this comment reeks through heavy Intern in IB - Restr

+4 I'm waiting for all the America First isolationists to chime in about how this time it's different. Ozymandia
+4 Curious why you didn't go directly into quant after undergrad, given your profile is already strong across the board (school, grades, coursework, research). Prospect in HF - Macro
+4 I can imagine what you look like just by reading this message Intern in IB - Gen
+4 Sorry for your loss (and congrats on having a place in Greenwich lol). Intern in IB - Gen

+4 An old comment on the difference between IB and PE: Principal in PE - Growth
+4 He said lateral retard Gold-ManSacks

+4 Currently at a quant fund in Greenwich as an intern, so please discount my input accordingly, but figured I could pitch in. Every morning from 6 to 7 am, I see countless people board the train to commute to the city. Intern in PropTrad
+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 Pakistani and Nigerian scammers? No, I don't believe you.  GameTimeisSaneTime
+4 Wow i'm surprised Leerink's healthcare services group really ranks that low on the broader healthcare rankings. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+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 It’s true for M&T, RELL, M&A, FIG, HC which is half the bank. All are super sweaty and toxic despite bad deal flow and exits are bad. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 UBS doesnt have any process in place to stop this, we just hired all the head of bankings friends. Lehman bros are gonna crash a 2nd bank, impressive Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Are the mods asleep? Literally half the posts on the homepage are bullshit spam. Unusable forum rn. monkeyvjit
+4 I work at one of the shops listed in tier 1. PJT is the undisputed number 1. Evercore is the undisputed number 2. HL is the undisputed number 3. quewho
+4 I graduated into COVID. I have (had, I guess) no family or connections in finance. I attended a semi target. My best work exp pre uni was minimum wage job and my year 10 work experience. I didn't get a spring. nutmegger189
+4 Lot of sexism and women being treated extremely poorly at UBS.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+4 Former Leerink junior here. Take that healthcare services associate’s pitch with a massive grain of salt. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 You are not tracking properly if you are not losing weight at 500 cal, the commenter above is correct. It's very easy to weigh meats (raw vs cooked) or oils incorrectly and misjudge your maintenance. wetfartlover
+4 This sounds less about AI and about your director usernameladiesman217
+4 Excellent counter-framing perspectives. Not going to add materially substantive thoughts here but I think you get to the heart of the issue with "squeezing every last dollar out of an asset".   StillNomad

+4 Had r1 recently and was told that superday rollings in 1-2 weeks. Technicals are ok but a bit harder than the other BBs I interviewed with. Intern in IB-M&A
+4 Saying that you had a healthcare crisis from an adverse reaction to an ingredient you didn't know at the time was in your diet which prevented you from completing your internship is not a false statement, and I would inclu kellycriterion
+4 I did TMT at a much maligned bank on this forum, though I had a great experience before I left. Am in the tech space, didn't change industry, so can't speak to that. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+4 What career…. I saw your post history before you deleted it yesterday. Good luck “breaking in” Classongrass
+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 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 How's this even a choice? The multi-strat and don't look back.  GameTimeisSaneTime
+4 Dude, I'm so sorry to hear that, that is so fucked  jorje_orwell
+4 UBS is paradise  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Vandy undergrad is not a “target” since there’s no business school or finance major, but it still places plenty of kids in IB each year. VincentChase
+4 Robert California type shi Prospect in S&T - Equities
+4 (1) The salary ask most likely is not the cause.  (2) Here is how I do it.  jl12

+4 RBC has historically had a great deal flow but culture pretty rough Manager in CorpStrat
+4 Those look like low fees for the commercial appraisals. I would have expected significantly higher for both. DisgruntledAppraiser
+4 They're people who took a job.  For which they were compensated.  I'm grateful they did that job, just like I'm grateful for people who take essential jobs that I personally wouldn't want to do. Ozymandia
+4 Went through the background screening for a FT IB role at JPM. The third-party provider used was Vero. They asked me to fill out a questionnaire covering the past five years of employment, education and addresses. Acinas
+4 This is very good advice  Op I also have a tough piece of news to deliver but finance firms and the east coast generally are very structured and disability unfriendly  WestCoastChimp4521
+4 You’re absolutely right. If this is your view though what career choices do you make now? Partner in PE - LBOs
+4 Everybody saying bofa is trying to actively sabotage your comp/career Research Analyst in Research - Other
+4 I think it’s replacing associates. Frankly the quality of research is much higher, turnaround is faster, and it’s easier to tell when AI gives a bullshit answer. Partner in PE - LBOs
+4 Dude just do it for 20 more years until you are dead inside. You’ll stop complaining eventually  That’s a obviously a joke but I would say to most people do an extra 2 years or so  WestCoastChimp4521
+4 I'm 25 years old and just made $450k for the year, while taking on 0 risk. If this is what fucked feels like, I love it  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+4 The former - you can slip into programs that need more headcount or have people leave, and you're only a few months or a year different of experience vs someone who went to PE at the 2 year mark. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+4 Comments like these just show how much this website loves to hate on BofA...im not saying its better than Lazard at all, but saying you would "make fun of someone" working there is the most performative comment I have ever Intern in IB - Gen
+4 This is almost certainly not a Wharton thing but a first-generation / immigrant / scarcity-mindset Asian American thing. Deo et Patriae
+4 Laz by a mile tgs1726
