+3 Yeah no shit, Frodo TChomas
+3 M Klein is nowhere near Dyal or Q lol. Dogshit pay and no deals, just randomly secretive image to impress sophomores lol Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+3 in one of his clubs - seems like others' have intriguing evidence but still rolling out Intern in IB - Cov
+3 London perspective: Am a junior at one of these shops in London and have good connections to the other shop Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+3 Got offer recently but know that they are still doing rolling superdays. the technicals are def a bit on the harder side especially for the mms but it is hard to seperate candidates these days so understandable. Intern in IB-M&A
+3 Short form content has atrophied people's instincts to conduct primary research and it is not isolated to banking or finance. Associate 3 in HF - Other
+3 IsItREPE
+3 It's nearly impossible at the moment. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Asian here low key no cap feeling you embarrass us. You think this is XHS where flexing is cool lol? olamiemie
+3 Work separately on different floors/buildings so not very integrated as do not work (rarely) on same deals ie juniors + seniors only work within DB / Numis deals and not cohesive (heard different culture across both as wel carrotsandapples
+3 > “no actual argument” > proceeds to list out several claims as facts with no actual argument or factual basis LMAO Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 ohhhh, my prayer goes to this kid asianisalpha
+3 If u want the “optimal” path to IB degree wise - would firstly say high school students overestimate Comm / Law degrees. painsufferer420
+3 Hard to know. If bigger asset manager they are going to think about it in the context of the larger operation which means they could keep it as a diversification / semi counter cyclical strategy. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+3 allegedly some kid was emailing bank HR depts w/ screenshots of racist messages to get other ppl rescinded Incoming Analyst in Private Credit
+3 Fundamental investing can be good, but you'll want to dig deeper and think about ideas that aren't apparently obvious. Options investing can get pretty complicated, so I would tread carefully here. Prospect in IB - Gen
+3 I struck out for SA26. Had first rounds and superdays at EBs and BBs, thought many of them went well, never got an offer. Intern in IB - Cov
+3 Happened to me - very similar setup. Had a rough go of things and never really recovered there. Had previously done well at good shops prior, and went to a different shop and have done well here. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 fibroDo not do this. One of you will probably end up the focus of an SEC investigation. Look up Justin Kim. bruce22
+3 >implying debt has covenants >in the year of our lord, two thousand and twenty six Principal in HF - Event
+3 if you play megaknight, gonna blacklist you ilikeplayingpiano
+3 Full time BB position 100%. I’m at one now as a senior associate doing balance sheet lending and I’ve seen many analysts leave for the buyside throughout the years. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+3 Search now, market is slow. At the sr ass/VP level there is no 'on cycle' really its by needs basis (except for maybe MBA hiring but even that has been pretty dead). VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Congrats on UBS 714_Lemmon_Legend
+3 Associate 2 in RE - OtherPersonally I find it very feminine to ask for money  Fellas, is it gay to be a rainmaker? IsItREPE
+3 You’re cooked for ivies and stern, northwestern, UChicago etc, but you can still get Ross/georgetown. Make sure you ED one of those (or stern/Uchi which are significantly easier in ED) rooseveltfan
+3 nice double comment bro congrats on BMO Intern in IB - Gen
+3 I have and thank you so much for all the valuable advice!! I found your answer regarding resources incredibly helpful and will be reading up on those in the upcoming weeks. Prospect in IB - Restr
+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 I think on second question: each fund probably comps differently, I do agree that firms loss out on talent if they are paying really low. I think PE pay for most firms is fairly in line relative to fund size. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Anonymous Monkey: Lol spending 6 hours in a hotel and Ubers is not the same as running through a VDR trying to build ur model buddy. Consultant in Consulting
+3 Correct. Do you have any examples of it working?  VP in PE - LBOs
+3 One of the kids I'm thinking of is a White kid from the suburbs. The streets don't discriminate, they'll take anyone. Miracle1111
+3 Exits are well if not better than NY Healthcare. This cycle one placed to H&F Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 I share my most profitable MNPI trades and how I obtained the information. Shows hunger/grit. war dog
+3 Lots more information just dropped!  gladtobeout
+3 Lol it’s kind of ironic how my career went. I started at a ~$80B AUM firm as an AM analyst and it was the most chill job fresh out of college. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+3 try using ​​mа​​r​gi​​n​o​fаl​ph​a, works wonders for technicals Prospect in IB - Cov
+3 Agreed - Oregon State - deployed with them FOUR times - surely you'd know after 2.  Utterly stupid.  Assist. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Sell VDRs ImagineSisyphusHappy
+3 bro 500k is a crazy amount, stern is a really good school. dont listen to those. nothing is guaranteed in life and the 500k marginal benefit at Wharton is not worth it blueberry_muffin123
+3 You will be just fine. Friend of mine did not get return from LMM firm - landed another LMM for FT, then lateraled to EB, then to MF PE and now works at a top HF. Intern in IB-M&A
+3 delete Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Principal in PE - LBOsIf I was an LP, I would shut this down immediately. Would you want to invest your own money in a fund with this model?  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+3 Will quickly add that you can’t look at II as a proxy for success at DB. Since we are charging for research it’s virtually impossible to rank in II and it’s not a priority whatsoever for management. Associate 3 in ER
+3 This tier list smells of RNEF Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 Wouldn't consider anyone who grinds to MD a loser but agree there is so much more to life than collecting checks. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Synergy baby!  Couldn’t even get a walk-on offer at Miami.  Wins a natty in his hometown.   odog @digitalimmortality.com
+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 She is on a power trip and far too many femcels have infiltrated VP+. MDs will take her feedback into account even without evidence just to make her feel important. Better to lateral.  VP in IB - Cov
+3 Associate 1 in IB - Cov Managing Director in IB-M&A
+3 Absolutely avoid. No doubt the worst group at bank of america and almost certainly a bottom tier group across the IB landscape. If you are a junior, you are pretty much doomed in there. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 Restaurants in American are generally run by Americans. In the UK we have loadssss of people, first generation, from all over the world (particularly ex-colonies). festina_lente
+3 Julia Plotts Shit Post 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 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 I’m bullish and financially invested in the growth of MRI diagnostic centers (private pay and geared towards people 40+ years old - too many younger people getting cancer these days; AI advancements) and luxury senior livi odog @digitalimmortality.com
+3 Think about the role of a Summer Analyst (and by association an Analyst), and consider what the main character traits are that they want out of someone in that seat and how that relates to your interview performance. Intern in IB - Cov
+3 I would say its pretty club dependent in terms of how ib recruiting will go. Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 As if forest service jobs are easy to get. gufmo
+3 AI slop sentence Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 You’re definitely leaving something out of the story lmao Charge it to the game and keep it pushing Amazon Prime
+3 Sounds like M&A Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+3 I speak from the perspective of a current infra guy who did corporate buyout and repe for the past 5 years, so hopefully it gives a bit of perspective to your gloomy RE take. olamiemie
+3 Any decent fund of any size should teach you these skills and hold you to these standards. PE is the professional finishing school that banking was supposed to be but never was in reality. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 what about hot chocolate? Prospect in IB - Cov
+3 Thank you sophomore; hope dodge and cox pitch comp went well rxconswarr
+3 In the prop/HFT world a few large firms have teams with no base salary or healthcare at all, in exchange for much larger pnl cuts with better terms. So you need a second job in a different industry or substantial savings. cp5670
+3 I don’t think the “take the JAMMBO for brand” argument is that compelling anymore. A lot of growing MM/UMM firms are already the same size or larger. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Yes, sorry, I was not trying to shit on your comment it’s just the same thing everyone says including those who haven’t pursued this path at all. Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+3 UCL>>Bristol/Durham>Bath/Manchester imo based on placements that I have seen. Bristol actually perform very well and so would say that they are at least on par with Durham ldnchimp
+3 A few cents on the Australian degrees for IB: VP in PE - LBOs
+3 One of the stupidest firms i have ever come across, we partnered with them on an asset and they had no idea what they were doing. Heavily dependent on buyside advisors to guide their work. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 From what I've gathered, it's the 1st one. But technically the name of the game is grabbing referrals so you can land interviews so it's more of the 2nd one. reddemon
+3 Aren't existing funds kind of screwed given the de-rating we have seen in public markets + likelihood that generalists likely won't be buying many software assets any more? Research Analyst in AM - Other
+3 ASOF has strong returns (unlevered btw) as well as fundraising Associate 2 in HF - Event
+3 As in? Lmao heard people from TMT across NYC, SF and LDN that were not happy at all. Same for FIG and IND. So not sure what you are referring to Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Be patient, keep applying, keep preparing in case you do get an interview, and reconnect with your contacts. There's only so much in your control. Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+3 9.6% + 0.9% = 10.5%~1.123 mm - 1mm = 0.123mmNPV>0, accept  Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+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 This feels like way too broad a generalization, and some of the views particularly the payment / analytical apps point is just wrong. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 That’s cool but if you could answer my superday questions that’d be great. Ideally before Sunday 11:59pm Jeffery Montenbeauberg
+3 the lateral market gets much tougher once you become a senior VP or director so i would lateral sooner than later. Works at Goldman Sachs
+3 I mean if you genuinely think Evercore is some obscure bank that people in finance need explained to them then I’m not sure you’re really in a position to be giving advice on this lol. A7858
+3 I guess this is kind of like the chicken or the egg argument but sometimes when the toilet seat is too gross to sit on, I attempt a standing shit. Pokemon Master
+3 Why is that your first thought when the guy has never said any location. You are weird. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+3 HEAT ILOVEBANANAS123
+3 (1) The Cravath scale is an associate-level scale. Besides the fact that it is lower than what a comparable investment banker would make, that is only an early-career dynamic. jl12
+3 "Always remind yourself that any advice that is greately widespread in the world is made so even the lowest IQ guy is safe (utilitarianist doctrine)."  Count WACCula
+3 Keep in mind that my "system" is still a work in progress & that I'm not experienced enough to know every case. pbandjpartners
+3 Bro holy shit shut the fuck up this is why no one at targets like asians internationals. monkeynke
+3 I did my SA at hl/Lincoln valuations and agree this is one of the easiest entrance points. Recruited FT and landed at an IB better than my own banks ib so can’t say it didn’t work out. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Dawg, I've liked thousands, if not millions, of the most evil, vile, racist, homophobic, anti-semitic, misogynistic, and downright awful reels the world has ever seen. Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+3 I agree on better-bored-than-doing-bad-deals, but take the guys doing sunbelt multifamily.  If they declined to do objectively bad deals, they will have done absolutely nothing for what five years at this point? asmith_1
+3 ECM at a non lead bank. Co-managers and joint bookrunners sit around collecting checks while the lead left banks do all the work.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 I work at a large LP. In short yes it will impact fundraising. It’s incredibly hard to present to IC a consistently underperforming fund. Director in AM - FI
+3 The craziest part about how quickly things have shifted is that if you were applying to some of these roles as recently as 2-3 years ago, you were more or less a shoe-in (assuming you had solid exp). Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+3 ojapar20Exactly. CRE
+3 You're a great candidate especially for spain. Most of the time however consulting firms (at least in france) prefer end of studies/final year students, so aim to do at least another internship in Strategy Consulting. Business School in IB - Cov
+3 Bro do it. I work / have worked in LMM PE / PC and see this all the time. I also did my MBA where search was a big focus so I get the itch there too. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
