+3 JP loves their Europeans. It’s why it’s a pretty miserable place to work. I like Oxbridge PPE’s, hardo LSE and Warwick internationals and the occasional St Andrews nepo baby for the London office. Good mix. Managing Director in IB-M&A

+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 Which group were you layed off from? Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+3 PJT Intern in IB-M&A
+3 I learned counting on the job at Wells Fargo. As an ABM, I'd have to count how many fake accounts to open for our customers. They don't teach you that in a lecture hall lucien_de_montclair
+3 Anything pulling you in either direction? Fordham theoretically is one of those backup schools for people who want Columbia/NYU and is in the city, but I'm not really buying that it gives much of a leg up in recruiting. Nobody Man
+3 You are right that some of this seems basic i.e time is running out. As a young man, I also understood that time is running out. NoEquityResearch
+3 This is the most insane thing I've ever heard. therealgekko

+3 Both are great schools, but I think Stanford is a no-brainer here considering cost is not a priority for you. If you ever want to do something besides finance, the Stanford brand/network will open so many doors for you. hocuspocus123
+3 This made me lol. Wisdom from Tokat isnt going to help you clear an analyst super day bro. TheBig3.5
+3 Define right? Legally I think she had a case, they were foolish to offer accommodations and then renege on them. She was selfish to go into the industry expecting special treatment though. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Would highly disagree with the guy above. Have been in banking / pe for 7 ish years now, and everything I have learned has been in the job. Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+3 Yes Please spare us from this nonsense Count WACCula
+3 I would not fall for the consumer PE facade at all. Most branded/growthy consumer investing is not real PE. It’s vanilla cookie cutter stuff. Bad investments. Bad returns. Looks good on LinkedIn or Instagram. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 Don't want to doxx myself, but I can confirm based on speaking to associates at my current firm and getting the target #s from the fund that the pay cut is around that range. srzjmy
