+3 Let's assume nothing changes with jobs first.  The role of the institutional salesperson is to connect odd people with odd people, sellside analysts with buyside analysts and PM's. andrewmeister

+3 H1B doesn't matter for Canadians as they go through TN. Interns also go through J1  Intern in IB-M&A

+3 What are the outcomes like of the MSc at Geneva?  MiM/MiF at hec/escp/bocconi would be the classic option. They're the target programs at each school and will place well in s&t. Much low risk  Brag680
+3 Have not seen the financials, but the franchise has improved definitely over the last decade. sokaj
+3 Slower flow than a zero-fiber diet.  IsItREPE
+3 Lot of weak talent got into the space in 20-22 and is being flushed out. I'd rather hire a guy with a background in operations/AM then a doofus "deal junky".  VP in RE - Comm

+3 Numbers from Claude but that appears to be the case  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+3 If you want something more general go with Booth, but I think the Columbia Sustainability Management sounds pretty cool. marketMergerMaddie

+3 Not the year I thought I was going to have on January 1, 2025. CRESF
