+3 fake, but especially embarrassing because those videos aren't even funny anonwsouser123

+3 AI backed misogyny rage stories… bomboclot. Associate Consultant in Consulting

+3 I spent a few years as an executive at a portfolio company. While I was there, the PE fund (one that is mentioned on these forums frequently) assigned me one of their interns. SoldMySoul
+3 I think the space is just really competitive. You have to really stand out. Locked-In
+3 Incel fiesta in here let's gooo somrandom
+3 Never thought I’d see Chattanooga, TN mentioned on here. My old banking MD who was obsessed with The Smurfs was originally from there. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Capital Raises rolo25

+3 "large French aerospace company" vibes Associate 1 in AM - Other
+3 Another W for privately owned funds. No wonder these public MF's have crap returns compared to their private MF peers or larger UMM private firms. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Ignore my title. I’ve seen all kinds of backgrounds at some lesser known growth equity firms. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Idk if your school has this but look at the alumni directory, scope out alumni that work in finance in T2 cities (CLT, HOU, MIN, BOS) or at smaller buy-side firms and reach out to them for coffee chats. Prospect in IB-M&A

+3 I think it’s pretty straightforward. You need to stop being a Sub-5 BTN Chud. Otherwise, the HTB-foids and the HTNs won’t respect you. Ascend. fuckshampoo21
+3 EB would provide much more consistent training outcomes versus an untested analyst program at a JAMMBO. PE firms struggle to even give associates consistent training and deal experience, let alone analysts. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Can you even name more than 5 deals that came out of Wells Fargo TO in the past 3 years jp222
+3 In Public Finance you spend a lot of time executing bond issues, so a lot of time working on bond documents as well as running numbers on deals as well as pitching clients. target_non_target
+3 8.43 13.5If you do office or retail the modeling is more about mastering Argus than excel imo Pokemon Master
+3 We got ourselves a little comedian over here Idkwhyimherelol
+3 that mentality right there is exactly why you got ghosted. Even though all the schools you mentioned were in the lower 48, you still used the phrase "fly down to Anchorage." lucien_de_montclair
+3 I wouldn't say that much. I would say it's less about top shops and more who dominates what. usernameladiesman217
+3 You could create new duplicate suites for every suite # with the new SF for each, and set all the original entries to re-absorb at expiry - though you'll have to deal with manually entering renewal/re-lease dates and possi decrebepro
+3 What’s Gucci my killa? What’s drugs my dealer? SOFRsoGood
+3 I’d be careful of taking a MD role there at the moment. Because of the corporate structure, you’ll never make as much as you think you will. A lot of higher ups recently left as it came to light. Developer in RE - Comm
+3 lol at the fact that you think the mainstream wants to read an article about how wall street white guys are the real victim Associate 1 in PE - Other
+3 After this experience I would never, ever go back to another MF. Either hedge fund, small entrepreneurial team or bust. Having experienced both I can firmly say I prefer the latter. Works at Oppenheimer
+3 Recruiting SA 27 as well. I've made it to a few SD's as well, but have no offer yet (Missed a tech on one and got screwed over by HR despite being ranked crazy high in another, lmao), you aren't alone brah, I get it. Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+3 "Sorry wrong chat" Intern in IB - Gen
+3 Has anyone heard of RedBird Advisors? From my knowledge RedBird Capital doesn't have an advisory arm but I have no idea who else that could be. Google also didn't turn up any results Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Like you pointed out, the Growth and Infrastructure are more well known practice and the Defense fund is very new. ace39
+3 A lot of small PE firms are effectively the fiefdom of whoever founded it, and the smaller the fund the less professionally it tends to be run because it is not typically a focus to hire HR and other small back-office depa VP in PE - LBOs
+3 OP is seeking emotional comfort / assurance from other men LOL GS under Blankfein

+3 Many such cases  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Honestly sounds like a no brainer, I'd go EB RX IB, unless it's at a T1 RX consulting firm, and there's a high chance you can jump to the RX consulting side / group. VP in IB - Restr
+3 Analyst 2 in PE - OtherI am going to offend some people and I'm sorry.  Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+3 Just because it’s not an option you want to explore doesn’t mean it’s not viable.  Determined

+3 Going into the first round without knowing technicals after being referred is completely irresponsible You’ll be fine, but yes you just blew some opportunities. Just learn and move on dillpickleseeds
+3 I do not work at BX, but my two cents: Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 What are you talking about? The McKinsey hire looks like a perfect cultural fit. McKinsey help up start an opioid epidemic and this kid's already scamming the healthcare system. NewIndustryHorizon
+3 Just reach out to everyone. School alumni, Ivy student athletes, student athletes in general, business frat alumni, etc. All it takes is an email so stop overthinking it. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Seems like you're doing all the right things. Personally I'd probably spend a lot more time networking than anything else. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 You drop the consulting because you already have experience. You keep that on your resume freshman year to land an internship because you have 0 prior experience and require talking points. Prospect in Research - FI
+3 Tides is still around, they have a zombie portfolio that will likely all go through some sort of foreclosure/capital event in the next 2-3 years. VP in RE - Res

+3 Hey, so sorry to hear - I went to Cornell, which IS an Ivy League, and I had a similar situation happen to me. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Throwaway account just to be safe. Interviewed with them, but didn't end up getting the offer. I ended up signing at a larger fund. sanexoc924
+3 wallstoasis500Anonymous Monkey Works at The Family Office
+3 If you don't understand floor plates, core design, and tenant floor plan layout then you don't understand office as a product type and are likely to get burned. Esque_
+3 honestly prob not a bad thing. from an outside perspective, just looks like a fast track to an interview since HR is the one that handles all of that. innatecookies
+3 I hear what you’re saying, but it is tough to start slacking off and not pull my weight when everyone on my team is working the exact same amount. It’s not like I’m the only one on my team getting grinded like this. Associate 3 in PE - Growth
+3 None, really. VP in IB - Restr
+3 Same on the west coast. Gotten several interviews from the limited postings out there and have gotten ghosted at some stage on 90% of them. Have even made it to a few final rounds just to hear nothing back.  Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+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 A little bit late on this but thought I’d share my thoughts. Stronger IB placements than I expected initially coming here. Used to be very consulting focused, but now the student body seems more IB dominated. hatedChimp
+3 I'm not sure why this is surprising. Ozymandia
+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 Ngl, seeing the advice be "just lateral" for a personality conflict had me cackling. Rabbit

+3 I, for one, can't get past the hilarity of a Citi employee referring to others as "retards" Director in IB - Gen
+3 Let the kid figure it out for himself Prospect in IB - Cov
+3 I'm reminded of my first internship (early 2010s) at a firm that was trying and failing to hang on to some of this spirit.  I was young and dumb but still remember feeling thoroughly unimpressed and sad. CharlesCheese
+3 Please explain to Waspy Waspface why universal suffrage is retarded. Certain cultural practices exhibited by indians i.e the caste system have no place in the west. They are indoctrinated in it. RestIess
+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 No matter where you are, a competitive environment is no reason to act unfriendly, unprofessional or generally like a spoiled brat. afdhfg
+3 Your title is idiotic. Nobody in the Western world is rooting for the Islamic Republic here. What is there to protest against?  gufmo

+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 Did soph summer in BB IB but went to one of the programs you’re talking about. Two points here: Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
