+3 Hi, thanks for doing this!  Intern in HF - Other
+3 Missing the Wes Edens point is the biggest whiff of this deck/pitch. JamieDimonkey
+3 I guarantee your porfolio co's customers hate example 2 and 3 you gave. I can only hope the slop machine is actually accurate for example 1.  IsItREPE
+3 Unlevered HegelianHello, thanks for your contribution.I'm very confuse with the terms and with the scope of work. Associate 1 in Private Credit
+3 I don't expect most people to agree with me.  But not making sense?  I don't think its complicated. Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+3 Edibles are just too strong in legalized places like NYC, and in general, they just last too long. Mastery 7 IB Shitter
+3 Always a risk so just be smart with your outreach and do more due diligence in who you are reaching out to. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Again, they're trying to have it both ways. Not that long ago they were going all in on ESG saying that they need to look beyond just profits. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Ur not wrong on most of this. MS is unwarranted Works at Goldman Sachs
+3 UBS loves internationals  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+3 They are sharp guys. Mainly from Square mile acquisition, not sure how many have stuck around. Long hours, and from what I've heard the pay is good. Assist. VP in RE - Other
+3 12 keys? Do you know how all the operating departments work in a hotel? How do you plan to staff this thing?What are you gonna do for distributions? Who is filling the midweek demand? brosephstalin
+3 u are intimidated because you are reading it front-to-back. wrong approach.a credit agreement is modular. 80% is boilerplate legal protections (lawyer territory). 20% is commercial reality (your territory). tonythebrief
+3 I think about how the Baird industrials WSJ article got released and they were labeled one of the worst groups ever and they claimed only 110 hour weeks. PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+3 Been thinking about this a lot too as someone in PE. Will note that experiences will vary wildly based on what PE firm as I think there's a larger variance in PE experience than banking.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 And a healthy dose of ivermectin professionalasset-personalliability
+3 Focus less on IB recruitment, more on school culture. Top LACs(Amherst and Williams mainly) along with Ivies will all give you a good enough pipeline that you will get a seat if you try. usernameladiesman217
+3 The “Schulich brand falling off” thing is mostly r/OntarioGrade12s noise. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+3 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 The seizure thing is hard to comment on without knowing more. Horrible for anyone to have a medical incident at work, obviously especially if it’s induced by overwork.  RoleTied
+3 Market making is by its nature a risk taking activity. These aren’t 2 separate things. mrdrralph
+3 Be open minded, I wish I changed majors in college when I had initial doubts as a freshman. NewIndustryHorizon
+3 Not representative of the AVERAGE BB/EB analyst class. pls_touch_grass
+3 Congrats on ubs!  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Agree with literally everything you've said. I'm generally pencils down on multi for those exact reasons. The only tailwind I think is supply/demand and discount to replacement cost in some markets. terra879
+3 We have an intern and an analyst here. Believe it or not there’s a third option - Neither of you know what you are talking about. Principal in HF - Event
+3 Anonymous Monkey: Associate 1 in CorpStrat
+3 The "anti seed oil" movement is a fad pushed by "wellness" influences that lacks both scientific evidence or widespread appeal.  CRE
+3 Hi Lisa, mudasir2aa7
+3 I don't think there's a tried and tested way to land at a REPE MF. That being said both degrees could land you a role at a good REIB group, which has the highest chance of getting to a big name. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+3 This promo became evident and more or less inevitable a year or two before I got it, so it wasn't totally out of the blue. But to your point- it completely changed where I thought my trajectory was heading. Corp_titan
+3 Short term, yes there is a bubble. Tech companies have laid off thousands under the guise of "AI-driven efficiency," but we all know it's just cost-cutting due to inflation and high interest rates. iercurenc
+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 Lol this is a trash list LBOnlyFans
+3 Isaiah, smh no one wants to read AI slop on these forums ky9xnsz

+3 Please provide the extended version so we can see how much UBS sucks Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 I'll differ somewhat on one point here. GTL/LTL can be very useful, though if you aren't at least in the range of what your apartments actually lease for it won't be. Multif@mily4Life
+3 THL and MDP are the opposite of great legacy UMM names, they are struggling ones. They are both on path to raise down funds and have been fundraising for a long time. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 I mean you have to always ask yourself if the juice is worth the squeeze. Would you work +20 hours a week to make +$10k more in salary? Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 The thing most people overlook with AI case prep is that you can get way more out of it if you stop using it like a practice partner and start using it like a coach reviewing your work. Dr.Leigh
+3 With my shitty post-Covid associates, I'm basically doing everything. First draft memos are AI slop that I have to rework. First draft models are missing critical inputs. Thepostman
+3 nice double comment bro congrats on BMO Intern in IB - Gen
+3 Thank you! And sorry if I posted twice. I didn't know. How much does the popcv cost just to get a rough estimate. doloris1981
+3 This happened to me 2 years ago when I left Barclays and I remember being pissed about it. Also the dog shit 2nd year bonuses. But that’s why you leave Barclays 🤷 Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Get ready to work with the most unmotivated people at associate and above ranks who are only at the firm because of their visa or because they are so bad that they cannot leave. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Agree on seeing a lot more posts about RX consulting over the past 12-16 months. I'm at a smaller restructuring consulting shop, and the monthly networking requests have almost quintupled, and I'm not exaggerating. VP in Consulting
+3 Best thing to do is to get good deal experience and do a good job for the first 6 months to 1 year. After that you can start applying for lateral roles. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+3 Thank you for doing this. Great insights. Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+3 Hey!  subscriptionfinance
+3 no it’s fun actually to do memos for LF financing deals at 2 am with visa slaves and mentally deficient ASOs/Ds who couldn’t exit. Way better than spending time with friends or family!  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 It depends a bit on the timeline. If you want to spend a few month and jump to a bank once the opportunity is opening up your credit experience will be appreciated (in case you join a credit role). LevFin Lab Newsletter
+3 Blackstone Infra - far fewer deals per year, tend to be mega deals (this is changing a bit with BXInfa but still very much the case), traditional utilities and infra sectors, lower infra type returns, almost no exits Managing Director in IB-M&A
+3 An oil change is your best bet Intern in IB - Gen
+3 1) Pretty similar overall. I think the desk analyst seat (caveat never having done it) is great for getting lots of market exposure. You hear thesis from lots of different funds and know how different investors think. tiger_rawring
+3 Hi,  Dubai_IB
+3 As an associate, go with the best brand in the geo you want to spend 2 very formative years of your twenties in. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 You can see someone is a woman just by looking at them.  You can't see that someone had their dad donate money to get their kid into college but believe me those types are everywhere. Soros_

+3 Deal flow and culture are negatively correlated 99% of the time.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+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 Through select target schools (Wharton, Ross etc) and honestly selective club pipelines. Their interview process is also extremely technical/difficult. vitronicus
+3 2016 fund still at 0.6x DPI 2019 at 0.0x (yes, you read that right), so yeah they sure can be generous with something that is worthless... Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 Why is that your first thought when the guy has never said any location. You are weird. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+3 I don’t think there’s a right answer but  how I’ve approached it in the past was to say: I currently have x amount of deferred comp / carry of which I expect to receive y amount this year, and for this year I am expec Monkey.D.
+3 Project finance is a type of lending where your sole source of repayment is single project (or portfolio of projects) vs. an entire company. Director in CB

+3 This is for Toronto bro usualchimp
+3 Thanks. Last year I was at $300K base + $150K discretionary bonus plus promote interest only. This year, the bonus was cut in half citing turbulent markets/less volume. Developer in RE - Comm
+3 From a senior perspective, the best M&A bankers are effectively "coverage" as well. While they may only focus on M&A, M&A is relevant to almost any client in the space, whether the buyside or sellside Director in IB - Cov
+3 I did the MIM at LBS, now in PE. northbound
+3 Bunch of courses on it that you can purchase. Groups usually have own internal models for you to play around you with. Unfortunately, harder coming from a non-infra group background. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 If you want to do business in America, and your business model is labor arbitrage that hurts Americans (think Infosys, Tata Consultancy), you should be penalized by the government and penalized by your shareholders. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 I’ll ignore your fixation on IQ, since you’re essentially a kid. Principal in PE - LBOs
+3 The MM team is housed under their commercial banking arm, and the pay reflects that. AFoldingChair
+3 It would’ve literally taken you 1/2 the time to google “are treasury or controller roles considered front office” to answer your question instead of writing this dumb post. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+3 Assoc 2 Base: $200k Bonus: $200k TC: $400k Top bucket poola
+3 Average Midwest medium sized business owner (UBS niche) isn’t going to trust some random Asian with their bussiness. Sorry, I said it Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 what are you talking about kiddo? can you at least provide some examples? Jaded Rainmaker
+3 I mean some of those said MDs you can trace their posts back decades. It's not unreasonable. nutmegger189
+3 The usecase for Real User Monitoring and Session Replay actually turn out to be analytics-focused (RUM gathers data points about clicks / heatmaps on your website, which turns out to be a great proxy for feature flag testi wallstreetape
+3 Target schools became increasingly focused on DEI, while not reducing the legacy / nepo baskets Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Once you realize recruiting / job hunting is relationship based you can lateral anywhere. Hiring decisions are made by a few people not a committee of 30  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 >The legacies or "nepo-babies" (as the kids call them these days) had such a different experience from them and still largely ended up doing just fine. Plus, they were much more fun to hang around with Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 If your long-term goal is M&A / PE / broader buy-side exits, I would seriously consider PwC Deals. Snowman21
+3 Was your family in the US before 1776? If not, under your logic, you shouldn't care about July 4th. If you're in this country and don't want to celebrate the abolishment of slavery, it is very un-American bluebottlesipper
+3 Find something in common with that person or pick something else that’s more personalized. Why would I care that you play lacrosse unless I played ? Intern in IB - CB
+3 I am gonna start thinking EB's 30 YO VPs aren't fat because of WLB... Proud_Monkey
+3 Bro you aren’t IB, no shit you don’t have a bonus Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 That’s so scary. Imagine you are an associate who gives him a task he doesn’t like or doesn’t feel like doing. A couple calls and your job is gone Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 It's pretty much impossible to get HR to do anything unless you pull them by the eyelids to do it so I don't imagine that they're setting up Zoom calls with candidates for any reason other than to progress their applicatio Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 It’s more predictable and the absolute hours are a bit lower but the actual work is significantly harder / more mentally involved. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 Prop firms. Basically guaranteed scams unless you're an exceptional investor (aka you're lucky). Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+3 UBS? Zoo wee mama RestIess
+3 Sorry for the delay, if you want a buy side credit seat the more tried and true method has been move into corporate banking and then over to lev fin or directly to private credit. guyfromct
