+3 issue is when you're behind on P&L  Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+3 Extremely lucrative, NYC/CT. I can't get his comment for this but can share some, I have a close family friend who is retired from dry cargo broker businesses. Horatio Horatio

+3 Exec VP in RE - Otherrecent capital allocation trends suggests mgmt teams are protecting their jobs instead.  asmith_1
+3 I appreciate you, great points man. I also hear you, once you understand just how hard true revenue generation is, you gain a new respect for anyone even remotely good at it.  Deal Team Six
+3 stern and duke will serve you equally well. Choose the better fit for you. Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 This website and people in finance NEVER fail to amuse me. You did not just with a straight face type what are the points of hobbies and that they are "gay". Is this rage bait? Genuinely.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 skill issue, expecting anything without a networking is ridiculous  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+3 If your long-term goal is IB, I’d strongly lean toward staying in the IB role. Adrian.
+3 With a year of training and anything resembling halfway decent shape to start in, sure you can do it. Ozymandia
+3 Broadly speaking it’s fine but have your MD approve this first Associate 2 in AM - Other
+3 Just don't go to EVR. Other shops like JEFF/MOE/JPM are sweatshops, but at least the analysts are nice to each other; EVR (even at the analyst level) is very territorial  Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 Imo there's no shortcut to this - it's extremely hard since bankers are already so busy so they view chatting as the last thing on their to do list.  johnb2001
+3 Mind detailing a bit on why you are exiting? Are you burnt out, jobs too stressful, etc? I am in your exact same boat so want to hear from a fellow peer.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Okay, so a very long winded response to explain you’re resorting to semantics instead of substance. Works at Goldman Sachs
+3 You don't work for an evil industry. Funny. NorthStarOne
+3 Excel IsItREPE
+3 Genuine question, why would you want to leave Dell rather than trying to find a way to lateral internally? Also data analytics seems like a great place to be, especially with how Dell is doing lately. Business School in CorpStrat
+3 Have commented about this in another similar thread, but whoever said they changed the format is misinformed. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 How is he wrong about office? CRESF
+3 Honestly just mute it. Sounds like performative anxiety to me. Half of those kids are prob lying, and the other half are going to burn out before training week even starts. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+3 VIC, FT/WSJ/Bloomberg but honestly it’s mostly moved to twitter (well curated list is required) Anchor

+3 Your life must be miserable right? In what universe should Detring Advisor be included in the discussion? I can put PPHB, Opportune, KEW, statesman, and the list can go forever. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Originate a hot girl to pitch the project pitchdeck
+3 For a view on how someone from PC would view this I defer to Associate 1 who gave a pretty good writeup. Looking at it from a different POV, I would caution against being interested in RX co purely for the pay. Analyst 1 in HF - Macro
+3 IME, "DEI" candidates almost always have to work harder to get promoted. usernameladiesman217
+3 I don't know if its me but its pretty rare but anyways. I think someone always takes a day off and it doesn't ding them just flag it before hand and you'll be fine bestman222
+3 It’s because you do PE in a less mature economy (Poland is my guess). Had a polish au pair so no hate… first crush, baddie. May god bless her. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Sorry, as someone who has seen all of their returns, I would strongly recommend GTCR. GTCR- no issues fundraising MDP- having issues fundraising VP in PE - Other
+3 Looking forward to growing together, Chavvbot. speedball
+3 Kind of untrue. Distessed credit has had some of its best years in a while in 23/4/5. Bunch of funds that have done well over 25%-40% annualized (gross of fees) from 23 to now. Managing Director in HF - Other
+3 CoffeeBong: Director in RE - Comm
+3 I honestly think this is even understating it. There were people with no real estate experience getting hired into acquisitions roles at sizable firms. Associate 2 in PE - Other

+3 Isnt it very hard there and a sweat shop with no exits?  bestman222
+3 Comillas + Spanish works very well. I’ve seen a lot of bankers at top BB and guys at MFs with the same background. You’ll be fine getting interviews. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Gotta find something that fulfills you or consider going back to work to just fill the time while you can. The social thing is tough but you can easily make new friends with effort. bde5393
+3 I agree but that's not the question though... the question is whether you need a certain pedigree to be even considered for one of these seats.  now a days I think not except a handful of your legacy tiger cub seats. Investment Analyst in HF - Event

+3 Previously at Jeff reib. Lateralled to a MM REPE and then to a MF REPE. olamiemie
+3 What is something (project/skill/understanding) that I can do right now during my 2nd year of college that would help me land an internship or job in ER/AM? Anonymous Monkey
+3 I mean this thread doesn’t even make sense, “being rich” is always relative. Relative to the rest of the globe, the typical American IS much richer, as they benefitted from the economic miracle you cite. KR8000
+3 Love the enthusiasm! You could start tracking a few companies and share your thoughts — that’s always a great way to build your skills. Anonymous Monkey
+3 Agree. The comment above is also correct regarding large managers with distressed/opportunistic and CLO platforms. There are many examples were "distressed" positions are originally purchased near par for their CLOs. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+3 If you get rid of junior bankers, who will ever become senior bankers?  CRE
+3 Happy to pass along our track record to anybody who's curious, just email me.  Would dsitribute to a wider audience but for compliance issues. jeffreykarsh
+3 Agreed, your sentiment is shared across the coverage teams I'm familiar with. EGRC has a ton of headcount in NYC, SF, and LA. Makes zero sense. Associate 3 in IB - Cov

+3 At some point last year I knew I couldn't be doing ops for too long so I waited just enough to ensure I don't get pigeonholed into that role, even though I worked at a BB. dude2
+3 Tesco voucher thing is actually like a pseudo-joke. You get a £3 daily credit to your name to use in the cafe/vending machines haha. Tbf think it is a very small but nice gesture. Edit: spelling stayfrosty1337
+3 Blake is conducting 1-on-1 interviews with candidates.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 MOE NY imo... JPM M&A will give you large cap exposure but MOE will get you better training. Exits are the same from both, more or less. MOE obv will have better comp Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 In the other thread I thought it was a nothing burger from the start. That prediction may very well be wrong. I thought we were just bombing some more military targets like we did with their nuclear facility last year. larry david

+3 Holy ChatGPT  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Rice thehoodedarrow
+3 I recently got my FT offer in REPE on the development side (from a VERY non-target school). In my opinion, there are three ways to get a job in this industry. freakintheexcel
+3 That's only true for national aggregate demand though, when you start looking at specific markets there are other factors beyond basic birth/death rates. jarstar1

+3 This doesn’t sound like facial deformity. It sounds like you’ve watched too much clavicular content and don’t want to go to the gym. Nose job? Hunter eye surgery? Jaw surgery? Be real man. That is very lame. Monaco Man
+3 Ok so sounds like you're doing exactly what every single other PE firm, family office, search fund / independent sponsor is doing to spam the same companies for deal flow. Nice. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs

+3 lmk when u get an answer Intern in IB - Cov
+3 He’s back Pro Veritate
+3 I graduated 10+ years ago. We had fairly limited recruiting back then, but from my understanding, kids started more banking-focused clubs in the last few years and have done a solid job making inroads. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 At JP/Citi/BoA/WF it is literally impossible. I work at one of these banks and don’t even have access to other industry vertical drives, but you think I can somehow look up anyone’s bank account?  Associate 1 in IB - CB
+3 I saw it as more appealing than carry but you may be more bullish on institutional PE than I am. VP in PE - Growth
+3 Even from the good groups, 0 - 2 analysts in the group will land solid UMM+ exits. Median is closer to a smaller MM/LMM exit, if anything. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+3 As everyone says, it’s highly competitive but the key is to (i) start early, apply to all the spring weeks and put in the shift early while the rest of your mates are just outright enjoying college (you can do both!). Associate 3 in PE - LBOs

+3 Associate 1 in PE - LBOsAnd, in this context, what would the GS offer be? PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+3 Should’ve listened to Jensen Huang, who literally told aspiring entrepreneurs to not start a company and that he wouldn’t do it again. Many other founders say the same thing. The expected value is just too low. nickelback_fan997
+3 Fewer junior roles, PMs probably not affected other than having better tools for running the book and ramping on new stocks/building models (so by definition those PMs who hire an analyst out of IB for the sole purpose of Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge

+3 I was dead against DEI all my life but after coming across stats for the largest bank in US the case for gender DEI doesn’t exist in any share or form. Somebody needs to b*tch slap HR for this.  Principal in IB - ECM

+3 "Great deal with attractive economics" - aren't traditional search LP terms 1.0x liquidity prefs @ 8% pref interest? VP in PE - LBOs
+3 I’d echo the above comment. IR (especially at a larger company) is the “most natural” exit for sellside ER. Minimal learning curve and ability to leverage existing buyside relationships. Notorious123
