Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+3 Friend went through the program. Echoing above, pay + hours/culture are pretty unique — you're clearing >200k in a (lower) CoL city for about ~60 hrs/week. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 The NY/BOS/SF biopharma offices generally recruit from a fairly tight list of ~10 target schools, but in practice three schools tend to dominate the intern classes across the three offices: Penn, Berkeley, and George Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 moneymaker03
+3 FIG has a very heavy reliance on H1Bs as everyone else leaves.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 You already know the right answer and are just asking us for permission. No one can give it to you though. The safe answer is always more appealing “on paper” but that doesn’t make it correct.  CRE
+3 GordonGekko87This thread’s going to descend into another antisemitic cesspool, isn’t it?  WeatherController
+3 Got it. I would try and get some guidance but my intuition would be to take it sub sector by subsector. Can you share the sector coverage? M_As_In_Mancy
+3 Avoid UBS at all costs. Worst perfoming bank by a mile Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 Stockdale is the yari family office but have now grown to raise money from outside investors. 8.43 13.5
+3 tell us ur a rx nerd without telling us ur a rx nerd Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+3 Great firm my cousins uncles dogs dad works there punpkins
+3 Don’t beat yourself up about it, these things happen to everyone at some point. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+3 You gotta take Jefferies. The CEO is so sick. And they are basically Goldman deal flow wise. Every Jeff analyst can get Apollo if they want it anyways, pretty easy choice. Intern in IB - Gen
+3 Agree with you. Just sent you a banana.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+3 This u? LockedIn Bezos
+3 Shockingly accurate for an intern Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 Don't read any of these stupid "sigma" books or business books (except Barbarians at the Gate because it is entertaining). You will get enough of that BS on the job. green_duck
+3 I mean realistically what are your options right now? It's not like you can lateral at this point, or just a few months into working. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+3 This is pretty far off from my experience. Is there really no helpful detail at all anywhere within your shared drive? ShowMeDaMoney
+3 I've got the same issue. I basically hit the jackpot with my job--40 hours/week with 20 hours of real, actual work. GoingGoingCaught
+3 I feel like it's only the partners from an older generation that care about MBA. Literally times have changed so much, that I don't know if it's needed anymore unless you care about branding. m29
+3 I have been there - did 3-4 internships at top BB banks - got 2 full time offers was super excited and motivated - then 9 months in got super disillusioned. heyNK
+3 What does top PE mean? If you mean MF's: lateral after a year. Going for FT recruiting in this environment isn't worth it. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 This all sounds like one big no go Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Historically a multi family office, with Ferragamo family being the main family but not the sole one. In the past was (and I think still is) focused on a number of strategies including direct pe but not limited to that. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Have talked to folks from both teams. My impression is that SSG is slightly more elite than your typical tier II deals team. They tend to work with UMM PE and do some more sophisticated/technical work. AK6969
+3 Used it for strip profiles and data pulls. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Man's Search for Meaning wherec8w9
+3 Biggest real use case is not “write the deck for me,” it’s helping you get to the answer faster. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Reach out to the BBs or whatever and say you have an exploding offer but would rather go there and see if they respond? Works at Citigroup
+3 You are a junior, do not buy into the pigeonholing narrative. Especially in current times careers are far more fluid than they used to be. Very few people stay locked into one path their whole career anymore. agupta256916
+3 SM USD 5bn+ HF lead PM ex-wife.  PaulAllenIsInLondon
+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 Similar experience as others in this thread for a role with Public Storage in their north Dallas office. Multiple virtual rounds and an in person interview. Anonymous Monkey
+3 (Deleted) VP in PE - LBOs
+3 man it's been two months lol Intern in IB-M&A
+3 Only you would really know, but if you have six months of experience, I cannot imagine that that is enough to actually have settled in and carved out a truly meaningful spot.  How do you really feel like it’s going? oil_quant
+3 Depends on 2 things: 1) how sure are you that you want to do PE after 2 years, 2) your risk tolerance. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 It’s Google and it’s not a contest imo Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Where exactly is that white privilege for someone without rich parents? afdhfg
+3 Newer team, relative to other multi-stage growth teams (I think the only newer one off the top of my head is KP). Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Don’t slander Arby’s like that  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 it won't be the first or last time. just know there will be good and bad times ahead. heck, i might be fired tomorrow. who knows? but today is still a good day. Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 You should consider a seat at a cyclical hedge fund. You'll be able to transfer a lot more of your skills from real asset investing. Research Associate in HF - EquityHedge
+3 I feel like a lot of threads/comments here underweight the translation of persistence and honing the skill set into PNL over time and overweight the random variables associated with the job. erwannabe
+3 Both seniors getting fired soon. Another one being transferred out of IB.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Held stolen nazi money and covered it up Works at Citigroup
+3 Alright, I'll bite. So a really important thing that I want to stress right off the bat, is that the jobs that the internet, especially WSO, talks about represent about 1 percent of the entire finance industry. Substack_Guy
+3 Not critical all the time, but credit is naturally mean reverting. You either refi and get par, or you default/restructure. Managing Director in HF - Other
+3 Congrats on Duke Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 I get the logic others are saying about an MSRE being more worth it down the road. However, I graduated undergrad from a non-target unemployed and spent ~6 months looking for a job I wanted unsuccessfully. Pokemon Master
+3 Disgusting takes all around lmao takashimurkiami
+3 In this market I’d say take the offer and stick it out for at least a year. You are way more hireable with 1YOE than less than one, especially for someone fresh out of undergrad. lesbiangirlscout
+3 Congrats on Citi SF! Intern in IB - Cov
+3 hey mate good on you for starting to plan this early. bonjourtovorisch
+3 What too much time on WSO does to a man wallstreetbroker
+3 I would like to caveat that I was in a very different situation as I had done a few other internships in levfin / PC and I wanted to be in a role that was focused on credit. NotJhoLow
+3 Firm Size: MFFirm Strategy: Debt fundTeam: InvestmentsBase: $150kBonus: $100kRole: ASO 1Location/: Tier 1 US Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+3 My 2 cents also as an Assoc in London Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 the US Attorney/Prosecutor should be the one responsible to make "justice", but when it is elected by the President, and the President is retard, to begin with (but "legitimate" because it was voted by a majority, proper d GS under Blankfein
+3 Shit happens. Hiring people is a touch in this environment. I had to rescind an offer last qtr. which absolutely gutted me. ThatGuyBalls
+3 You see a ton of Europeans with masters in finance and 4x 3-6 month internships across reputable IB/PE shops start as AN1 (especially when they’re from continental Europe where competition is insane). Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Only the big dawgs are down in CLT Intern in IB - Gen
+3 You could, but do you? Not the going home bit VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Lower tier BB, but I'm biased because I live in NJ, so it's near family Intern in IB - Gen
+3 I love how people shit on “sales roles” like it’s some knock. Revenue is generated through sales and relationships - not your “technical” logo adjusting.  user_5991
+3 Yeah that’s very fair. DeletedAccount...
+3 afdhfgThis guy maths! I'm basically Aristotle TheFunkyMunky
+3 Send his wife a more expensive bottle to establish yourself as the alpha of UBS IB9000
+3 I love how there are a subset of conservatives who are extremely pro merit in the workplace until they have to compete with someone on an H1B.  bananashit
+3 How you frame it, and with how healthcare works in this country, the public offer seems better to me.  CRE
+3 Super general statements, but I’d say fairly common for MM+ at the VP and Principal level, more mixed for SA, especially as SA often operates on a quirkier schedule (summer promote versus winter promote, stub dynamics, etc SaaSChimp
+3 Best job out of undergrad? Congrats on EVR my friend! It isn't even the best IB job out of undergrad, let alone best finance job Intern in IB - Cov
+3 In more or less the exact same position as you so will throw my 2 cents / how I've been thinking about it - PM me if you want to swap notes or discuss approach at all. abcd0987
+3 I agree, but wouldn't you do the exact same thing at their age?  I think my rationalization  at age 70 will be 'I earned this via my performance at ages 55-65 and it's only being paid now. asmith_1
+3 does she want to start a family and have kids?You stringing her along is fucked up if so. Otherwise if she is cool just be a friend you fuck sometimes have at it man.  anonf0fty
+3 What high school did you go to? I’m skeptical of this claim, especially the idea that this represents an “average outcome for any Asian country.” silverbackape2000
+3 Bro had his interview already and is now playing defense IB9000
+3 Black Diamond Capital Management Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+3 I think getting in the door is EQ (are you personable, do they want to have a beer with you, are you generally normal to be around).. and then Rabbit could not have said it any better beyond that. MnIGuy
+3 You're not getting an internship at an accredited PE/IB shop for freshman summer or even sophomore summer. Just relax. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 It's funny I said the same thing and got monkey poo for it. My thoughts are: why would someone leave an IB/PE (presuming Sr. SmoothStripes
+3 "Consensus among my boutique peers" implies grown adults with jobs and work spend their spare time making rankings. Nice try Incoming Intern in IB - Cov  Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+3 Can’t comment on the above, as not in the US. Biased, but my impression is that HL does very well internationally. Huge mandates in Europe and Asia eg Chinese RE, Ardagh, Altice (France and International). Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+3 I love the idea of REIT life because REPE’s main draw is major liquidity events and my shop is never going to cut me in on those anyways. Wish I could find a good REIT job. Covid19Brah
+3 Look into UF MSF’s program. They place very well into IB with connections to EVR,CVP,Gugg,HL RX, and a lot more Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 I highly recommend an accounting degree to prep for a RE investments or development career.  Be open to eventually position yourself as a CFO of an asset intensive company, and maybe it’s CEO.  odog @digitalimmortality.com
+3 Highly recommend GreenBridge Infrastructure as a seriously good resource for junior talent looking to navigate the landscape, understand core concepts, practice modeling, and even find roles (their job board is well curate renewablesinvestor
+3 Take a good hard look at that ground lease or have someone who deals with them on a regular basis review it for you. Are there market reset clauses in there? Do you know what market ground rent is in this market? DisgruntledAppraiser
+3 Frutiger light mentioned  Prospect in IB - Gen
+3 Bank4L high hopes
+3 Crypto (-coins) is not a registered security, nothing to declare JamieDimonkey
+3 HK is becoming more school agnostic so as long as you're not from a random polytechnic school then you're good, at least if you're from Warwick or even Durham you still stand a good chance of recruiting in HK. brtfedd1312
+3 I’d add the global reason they suck is 1) they are often too general, and 2) usually reflect very short term “perspective”, which is probably a generous label.  Managing Director in IB - Cov
+3 I'm your age and like you have ADHD, except I've been aware of it for longer. Focus has been rough most of my life apart from the usual triggers like urgency/passion etc. Raijin
+3 All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Let me reiterate the fact that deals take 2-3 years to originate, land, execute and close. Assistant2theregionalmanager
+3 I can believe that peptides are potentially the future, but injecting yourself with something that hasn't gone through trials and produced in a random lab in China sold on the grey market seems absolutely batshit. TurquoiseHexagon
+3 Hi there,  You are not cooked. You are a sophomore, you have time. Your actual recruiting window for full internships is next year. agupta256916
+3 There are plenty of senior directors that clear $1m, which can be more than some junior MDs are getting paid if they didn’t have a good year. Managing Director in IB-M&A
