+3 There are always firms that will recruit in the 6 months before the programs start including UMM/MF's for the following reasons: 1) they realized they need more headcount, 2) someone who got an offer reneged/no longer want Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 I think I'd rather work as a construction worker than ever be associated with any Canadian bank. Am at a large UMM, and we don't interview kids from any of the Canadian banks; all suck. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 stern not on par this year nontargetkidatunc
+3 Pulled directly from her comments on one of her videos: Q: Is it a requirement to work until midnight? It can't wait until the next day, you would get in trouble? Associate 1 in IB - CB
+3 The only thing RBC is elite at is making people rage-quit all of finance. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 No such thing as a respectful way to renege. I'm sure it's a non issue, but you will never work at that company or with anyone who recruited you again.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 oh brother we are talking about different people Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Most of those lawsuits brought forward by women are fake and driven by greed. No kidding they are thrown out by the courts.  Principal in IB - Cov
+3 lol no. nobody cares. you think Becky in campus hiring even knows what that is? bumblebeebumblebee
+3 ambouta bussss boin hkjik
+3 I’ll speak to my exp at RxR. The acquisitions team was made up of 4 ppl, analyst, associate, two vp’s all overseen by the group head. palm_beach_ll
+3 Retards who thought this would be a 2-day war are very silent these days LMAO 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+3 Where do you want to work?  adrien3
+3 You'll be able to find opportunities, but you have to be willing to accept those opportunities. Instead of a MF PE role in NYC, you might be looking at MM or LMM roles in a tier 3 city. Senior VP in CorpDev
+3 S&T has less spots, and actually requires thinking. If you want to memorize basic accounting principles, make powerpoints, work 110 hours for the same pay, go into banking.  Incoming Analyst in S&T - Equities
+3 Re: Uber, I believe there is a system to migrate drivers towards their home area using their average ride direction? [email protected]
+3 Mom is a head at KKR, can you fucking read? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+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 Not in the rebal trade at all but when you have printed money for a decade plus while running the largest strategy at multiple firms, your leash is just a lot longer. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+3 AC today too. Was told by friend of friend to be well prepped and also mentioned people have been sharing questions and giving them to question banks lol Intern in IB-M&A
+3 We target mid-teens-plus returns, and we’re pretty disciplined about that. We model ranges and sensitivities, but at the end of the day, if a deal can’t realistically get us there, we just won’t do it. Analyst 3+ in HF - Event
+3 Don't worry. Men will never understand women (not even your mom). Only women know women, and they hate each other. splitaces

+3 Depends on team 40% top bucket for analysts from what I’ve heard Intern in IB-M&A
+3 i mean it would be extremely dependent on your scenario. I'd push for real equity first then settle for phantom equity. you can likely run different napkin math scenarios of expected payouts if you had a 1%/2%/3% stake. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+3 A couple of good ones I’ve worked with: Barclays, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Citi, Moelis, Evercore, RBC, CIBC. There are also some of the smaller guys like PEI Global and Marathon Capital. Green Zeus

+3 You should brush up for sure EastVillageMerchant
+3 Lmao, highly doubt they'll be downsizing their junior pipeline when the whole point of this deal is to create a mega PCA platform. Its not a matter of removing competition. IB Intern - Cov

+3 Quant job listings often ask whether you have been top-ranked in an esport (video game) or poker (more commonly known) nepobaby2
+3 What made the late 90s early 00s a bubble was the complete divorce of infrastructure development and companies that had zero construtive way of delivering their proclaimed purpose with the actual consumption demand. PEarbitrage
+3 I’ve worked at places with opaque attribution/PnL and others with full daily portfolio, open files on the drive and analyst tagged attribution Anchor
+3 Hopefully that wasn’t me lol (2nd year at a boutique). Been receiving an average of like 20-50 networking emails a day and def have a good amount I haven’t followed up with. gucciloafers
+3 RBC FIG. Inhumane hours despite not much flow and abusive mid-levels and seniors. It's so bad that most interns who get a return offer choose to lateral or switch groups.  Intern in IB - Cov
+3 Gents my apologies for the delayed update here, got caught up in a few different threads (some sell side advisory side projects, some buy side advisory side projects, got incredibly sick for nearly a month, etc). StillNomad
+3 You have to take a lot of the comments about hours on this forum with a grain of salt cause half of them come from first year analysts or interns that are shit at the job and didn’t know  what sumifs or PowerPoint sho Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Thank you - this really helps. I will definitely try and implement these suggestions. Analyst 3+ in PE - Growth

+3 The great thing about democracy is that voters get what they deserve good and hard. PetEng

+3 Jefferies Energy  darlkjuhg
+3 I've had a very similar experience to what you've described. onetwomany
+3 Nigga ain’t that technically investing VP in PE - LBOs
+3 The house split usually starts at 45-50% to the house but decreases with production, until high-producing individuals and/or teams keep 65-70% of incremental dollars above $500K-$1M hurdles. RE-do
+3 I think the space is just really competitive. You have to really stand out. Locked-In
+3 -- Intern in IB-M&A
+3 They're both very different schools. Both have solid placement across Houston & NYC. scrappyfinancebro
+3 Akpsi LARPer Prospect in Acct - Audit
+3 Few, just like in real life.  CRE
+3 Today I use AI for automated note taking & external data scrapes. My team uses it to QA queries and help build BI dashboards. We will probably start using it for standard intake questions and to build FAQ bots. illiniPride
+3 I had very similar aspirations in college and almost went down the same route you're considering.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 just read through your profile holy DEI virtue signaler i’m crine bro 🤣🤣🤣. i would never wanna work w your lame ass i can tell by the way you talkin bro. Intern in PE - Other
+3 Well I'm going to suggest something different. LO AM is contracting headcount right now. StreetToStreets
+3 This is such a dumb post and shows you have a very poor understanding of the industry. Prestige matters far less in RE than IB/corporate PE; this is a sector where deal experience trumps all.  Associate 1 in RE - Other
+3 Agree with the comment above. To add, MSF’s are usually judged on the same level as UG candidates which will also reflect in pay, maybe 5k difference tops. masterrofnone
+3 I understand where you're coming from — and honestly? That's a completely fair concern to raise. In an era where authenticity is increasingly difficult to verify, skepticism isn't cynicism. It's diligence. Nurse Rahma Dikhinmabhatt
+3 Ivy league, 4.0 gpa, finance major and no job🥀🥀 lordchampa
+3 Bro thinks he’s gonna get hate for saying HL is a top RX shop 😂 nontargetmarket
+3 Everyone else has good points and I don't want to bog people down with the same stuff. Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+3 Unfortunately, yes. Mostly pitches and some passive bookrunner work on debt/equity. I haven’t touched a live LBO or been deeply inside a true M&A process. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 lmao - funniest response of the whole thread. Bro's on an anti-teller prestige trip Certifiedfinboy
+3 Do a full blood screen, especially with vitamin D and thyroid indicators (TSH, T3, T4).  Director in IB - Cov
+3 I would Investment Analyst in PE - Other
+3 Investment banking CarmineFalcone
+3 This analyst is 100% bottom bucket from all the responses to posters far more senior than them. I have tried to be helpful, but feel like they refuse to take feedback. I truly wonder how they got a return offer. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 Can't speak for everyone, but the below are my personal favorites. Also happy to give my personal jazz recommendations as well (biased towards a certain era however) Concertos: mooseeee
+3 Bondbeat substack yieldcurvemonkey
+3 Disagree maybe it’s different in your sector, but I see Evercore running on a lot of deals (including big ones) on the street more often than I see MS. Would lump them above Bofa and for 100% above PJT. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+3 most stuff about meditation and exercise is true but doesn’t really touch on reality because they’re one dimensional.  pbandjpartners
+3 Tech Growth + Buyout in London.  Associate 3 in PE - Growth
+3 C1 BA is a fantastic role, but not consulting. Based on what I've heard, it is pretty easy to simply move into product if you make it your goal. Intern in Consulting
+3 Hybrid capital is less interesting or fancy than it sounds  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 I disagree, saying the PJT M&A franchise is better than EVR is a bit too much. I guess it depends on the vertical, but EVR FIG, Tech, HC, Infrastructure and some other verticals are very strong in EMEA Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Let the courts decide Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Definitely laz, especially if you want healthcare, consumer, energy. way better culture and exits oogway0408
+3 stern and duke will serve you equally well. Choose the better fit for you. Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 Developer in RE - CommI think the red flags are fairly apparent... to discredit them seems disingenuous. At a high level: Rick Kane
+3 Edibles are just too strong in legalized places like NYC, and in general, they just last too long. Mastery 7 IB Shitter
+3 Yah I definitely understand the concern. When it comes to not being able to handle it, I think you could. I don’t know you personally but you have an offer and as a PU&I banker myself. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Worst culture on the street but great training program and decent / median exits for a global Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+3 We burnt a ton of money on premiums to hedge names after the hit we took post liberation day. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+3 It was a bottom group for UBS as of 1H 2025, but has had a relatively strong 2H 2025 in UBS terms though: announced a few M&A deals recently most notably Veeco - Axcelis $4.4bn M&A as sole advisor, and some lead-le Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Current MFPE investor. The buyout tech team where I work is extremely cooked, encroaching "DOA". Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 Fast and Fiduciary Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+3 In the kids defense he has a 4.0 GPA as an economics major from an Ivy League, I think he could’ve landed an internship without his Dads help.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
