+3 yeah, that's technically asset management because you are managing other people's assets (aka cash & trading portco). JBK
+3 that's cause dalio had solid inception years, was up 30+% in the early 90s 3 years in a row. For most of the 10s, and much of the 20s, performance has been really really bad. nooneinparticular
+3 echo the above. Industry is too mature. Every HF/PE/bank is focused on cost optimization to maximize dollars that accrue to the top. Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+3 wallstoasis500Anonymous Monkey Works at The Family Office
+3 honestly prob not a bad thing. from an outside perspective, just looks like a fast track to an interview since HR is the one that handles all of that. innatecookies
+3 This is inaccurate. Any list where Goldman Sachs and Jefferies aren’t 1st and 2nd is wrong. RBCs deal flow alone could make them Tier 1. oilandgasfunkymonkey
+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 A bit crude but how much do you have saved up/looking to put in yourself? Tough raising capital. Infra costs are a killer. Potential LPs are going to need a business plan. hedgefucked
+3 care to clarify? nachocheese
+3 Mentioned it above: IB -> PE -> Remote Corp Strategy -> more senior remote corporate roles. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 No?? Why??? If it was my group (rather nerdy) we’d probably just chuckle. My VP might roll his eyes, but he definitely wouldn’t tell us to black list that kid. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+3 "No one grows up and wants to be a Gary Neville" Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 In the same position; from what I've gathered on here it's possible, but it's generally easier to go IB Levfin before buyside. reddemon
+3 Golden answer, I think this should be pinned or equivalent.  I'd add as well that BIWS can sometimes go too far but it's good for at the more advanced stuff.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+3 Didn’t know that! I’d be curious to see if they happen to end up with very company friendly terms on financings and equity raises Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 As the saying goes, don’t shit where you eat… unless you like eating ass. If you truly think this woman (or man) could be the parent to your kids, go for it. BayStreetBarbell
+3 Amsterdam in general is honestly a grind to recruit out of if you don't have something going for you. The banks are there but they're not exactly rolling out the red carpet for randoms from the university cha.chimp
+3 so rare to see amsterdam mentioned on here Paul.chimp.internFI
+3 Misinformed vs misinformed Intern in IB - Gen
+3 For a lot of people it's pride/wanting to "do your own thing". StandardHardo

+3 Think there’s a part of this about actually doing what you’re interested in and not just chasing what is doing very well right now.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Go for GP led side. Secondaries tiering isn’t the same as for most other practices (I.e. Jeff PCA is substantially better than the other two). Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Not in HF but like others said, I feel like value investing is a little bit of a silly phrase. m_1

+3 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 28, ($200k), almost full ride UG + daddy paid the diff, but I’m a moron and had to spend $300k to buy a second chance called MBA. I guess my $100k in Roth counts but I have no money otherwise. Prospect in IB - Cov
+3 If your goal is IB placement, I’d separate “overall prestige” from “actual placement into your target market.” Rhonda.mangaroo
+3 Stfu there is no “on cycle” in real estate. 90% of hiring is done on an ad hoc basis Associate 1 in RE - Other

+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 Blue Owl, Golub, Antares, Audax, Oak Hill, Blackstone deas7
+3 Hugh is exceptionally good at picking up scraps from deals BMO and NBF don’t take on. Has a talent for thinking of ideas other banks are already mandated on.  SniffinPanties

+3 Love how we're now resorting to saying being on mega deals doesn't count as much lmaooo DTOWN34
+3 Interview process is vague to nonexistant at Thrive and they never hire. Greenoaks likes ex bankers / PE and seems to have disproportionate from UChicago and BX. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 It depends on what you're looking for. From an experience perspective yes. You'll do a lot of interesting advisory work beyond your traditional sell/buy sides so solid experience. Rabbit
+3 Not saying that at all. The point is that not all league table credit reflects the same type of advisory role. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+3 yes there are ones that bought in 2022 in some markets like Austin, used bridge debt which were not cheap, had aggressive rent growth projections and then they didnt pan out and will sell for a loss or do a cash in refinan Director in RE - Comm

+3 I wouldn’t overthink the age or years of experience. Rhonda.mangaroo
+3 Run some scenarios of losing cette customer. Are they very profitable? Allocate probabilities and value the company in each scenario. That get‘s you your discount. Her Majesty's Top-Line

+3 i had the opposite experience w p72. interviewed w them twice. sl55amg
+3 LPs generally want to secure deal flow, so this is usually advantageous to them since they are locking in a ROFR on your future pipeline. cpgame
+3 Real talk here. If one does use a bidet (as I had to in work trips to Japan) then the washing has to be followed by a drying session, where warm air is applied to the affected area. earthwalker7
+3 Bro I'm sorry but if you are getting great opportunities, doing well academically, and feel like you're growing, you shouldn't care. Prospect in IB - Gen

+3 Minor in something that interests you. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Yeah, on your first comment it sounds about right: at first you do whatever the PM wants you to do, and over time you start to understand the trading style a bit more, come up with ideas, put some tiny risk on to get a fee posositos
+3 Easy answers would be Genstar, Veritas, NMC, GTCR, LGP. Don’t think anyone is underrating CD&R or H&F anymore Unpopular opinion, but overrated shops in THL, Lindsay Goldberg, BDT, Carlyle Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 I did two search fund internships, one in the summer after my freshman year and one fall-winter sophomore year. Both were unpaid and remote. Intern in IB - Cov
+3 Then go do it pussy boringbusinessnerd
+3 Somebody's read Mauboussin! MOICProtection
