+3 Somebody's read Mauboussin! MOICProtection
+3 This is false. Don’t want to glaze WF but if your goal is being at a bank with a large cap presence, WF is one of the best places to be. Director in IB - Gen
+3 spam hard, cry harder, win in the end WeezyWizzard
+3 You seem super humble wherec8w9
+3 Another AI wrapper incoming Dazzling-External-29
+3 You guys are so stupid for not realizing this is fake. ojapar20
+3 Because college kids can understand equities. BritishLurker
+3 hrpowers9 has a good overview but I'll add on the following: 1. in my xp I'd say any technicals I've gotten typically skew towards fixed income, so stuff like hrpowers9 mentioned (duration/convexity, etc) ILOVEBANANAS123
+3 Can’t tell what they lowball more, their employees or their IOIs Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Just gonna leave a couple links below and maybe post intermittent updates on this thread until Anthropic IPOs (likely later this year). kuf135
+3 Senior Associate in MFPE (got VP promote) in NYC. 2 years at EB before. Age: 27 Net Worth: ~$750k ex. carry Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+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 can you elaborate? was thinking of recruiting here but sounds like a shitshow and not bullish on whoever came from Guggenheim (any insight on the people would be helpful too). Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 What the fuck is this. Summer Associate in Consulting
+3 They just hired an RX MD from greenhill  user_5991
+3 Honestly I think for any fund in this environment its need based. VP in PE - LBOs

+3 I don't work in IB but I think it's general consensus that as an intern you should be putting yourself out there... Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+3 Anything is better than that stupid CapIQ Pro Excel plugin Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Thank you, very helpful these comments and insights! Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+3 ^this… can totally relate to almost all of your points. Stuck in banking as Asso 3 as I didn’t make it to PE and my life is hellish as possible. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+3 Heard about this MD who was obsessed with smurfs, had the walls painted blue and even had a jar of M&Ms that were on his desk with only blue ones (the interns would have to separate the blue ones from the other colors) NuclearPenguins
+3 The Core, as in Evercore, just poached their head of restructuring. meatrocket
+3 Probably dead last in this race. I went to college with 2 analysts. Apparently, they have 0 deal flow, pitch their asses off, and get discounted bonuses. Seniors are assholes and want to share their misery with juniors. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+3 I don't think you'll have a hard time recruiting in either London or Hong Kong. I went to one of the schools you mentioned and a few of my closest friends (also in IB) are from HK. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 RBC has a strong LevFin group. No they are not JPM and leading the mega LBOs. They are one of the strongest players in middle market / UMM LevFin and you will likely get as good experience there as any other LevFin shop. VP in IB - Gen
+3 These threads are always survivorship/flexing-biased.  35M/10 YOE in IB/Cash comp: $200k (got laid off)/2025 NW: $1.5MM (inclusive of $800k mortgage) Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+3 Finance is a beta profession now, and there is no longer money in it with rising interest rates, AI, and falling valuations. The last thirty years were a complete aberration. Pussy galore
+3 Here's my perspective - Analyst 1 in PE - Growth
+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 Your post is quite rambly but I think your perspective is primarily because you are an intern and haven’t received much actual repsonsibility. apetrynamakeit
+3 Worst culture on the street but great training program and decent / median exits for a global Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Canadian bank so already paid out 1st yr analyst in trading 170 total comp (usd)100 base + 70 bonus pachimp1
+3 the corporate discount makes Equinox $315 a month but the HY location cost extra. Wasn't worth it in my opinion. Was always way too crowded no matter what hour of the day I went there. Ended up cancelling it. Works at Wells Fargo and Company
+3 David Constabile
+3 god’s fiddy sent two burner wso accounts with 0 post history to defend him Boss calls were made Intern in IB-M&A
+3 People here are not considering a crucial aspect which is the visa point. First of all you need to ask  yourself if you want to live in London or in Europe? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 No, these tools are not useful on the job. They just aren't. Stop saying they are. You need training data to get better and importantly all training data is stolen from the internet. usernameladiesman217
+3 What size is the distressed fund? If it is of relatively good size, i.e. not a small shop, I would definitely take that role. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+3 You'll be able to find opportunities, but you have to be willing to accept those opportunities. Instead of a MF PE role in NYC, you might be looking at MM or LMM roles in a tier 3 city. Senior VP in CorpDev
+3 If you want something more general go with Booth, but I think the Columbia Sustainability Management sounds pretty cool. marketMergerMaddie
+3 hey mate good on you for starting to plan this early. bonjourtovorisch
+3 "*also, are you saying that more ppl know what Evercore / Centerview is than Citi?"  Tonyt22
+3 At the time, they were not. There was not really a concept of "offering" a job to people, at least among the interns in my group. CRESF
+3 Served 2 years in ROK army myself & went to a target. got a BB offer. It all depends how you spin it. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Think I know who this is haha (long time fella hope all is well!) ignore my title - but yh can confirm from my time there too Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+3 I assume product specific - any insight on this summers RX class? asymmetricalrisk
+3 CVP, PWP, PJT Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Why hate on someone ? Just because hes doing better than you mfamo
+3 yeah, that's technically asset management because you are managing other people's assets (aka cash & trading portco). JBK
+3 For what it’s worth I studied engineering in college, went into IB and have now left and can whole heartedly say the real skills you learn in banking are organisation, tidiness and the ability to suffer. enlightenedfinancebro
+3 I mean this thread doesn’t even make sense, “being rich” is always relative. Relative to the rest of the globe, the typical American IS much richer, as they benefitted from the economic miracle you cite. KR8000
+3 Outside of just actual laziness and not wanting to train someone, this is more prevalent than a lot of people like to admit, some of it is lying to themselves/other to pretend the company is growing. cragfar
+3 If you get rid of junior bankers, who will ever become senior bankers?  CRE
+3 nice AI slop brother but you are not wrong! thanks :) lhommeparfaite
+3 Did an MBA, not undergrad at Wharton, but this just wasn’t my experience… Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 UCONN? Stop it.  CRE
+3 I hear you. But I don’t work 80 hours. I work 0. I didn’t build a business to run; I built a system that runs itself. That’s the difference. I respect the honesty though. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 DEI gimmick after being son of a nigerian prince and going to westminster Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 I can take a stab, BUT please feel free to correct me if I don’t have the right mentality. tentwothree
+3 Lol Delta Force and it's not even close. You don't just get into DF being physically impressive, it takes quick-witted critical thinking as well. DF is a massive force multiplier wherever they are deployed. Raijin
+3 No worries at all. I personally didn't apply to finance co-op but I note a few common traits re the people I know who got in -  painsufferer420
+3 Honestly sounds like a no brainer, I'd go EB RX IB, unless it's at a T1 RX consulting firm, and there's a high chance you can jump to the RX consulting side / group. VP in IB - Restr
+3 Take it easy with the acronyms and never assume everyone understands your shorthand. For example, "LDN". Low-dose naltrexone, is that what you meant? Associate 3 in HF - Event
+3 Firstly re your RX point, can confidently say it's almost non-existent in Australia - IB is limited to HL and MA, and equity buyside there are a few (Bain SS / Allegro / Anchorage) but definitely small market here. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Agree. To be successful in the HF business you have to be wildly interested in the work and have a very high risk tolerance. Principal in PE - LBOs
+3 Why do people assume that productivity scales linearly with population growth? It doesn’t, think about an office clerk in 1920 versus today, technology has made them markedly more efficient. guyfromct
+3 Tesco voucher thing is actually like a pseudo-joke. You get a £3 daily credit to your name to use in the cafe/vending machines haha. Tbf think it is a very small but nice gesture. Edit: spelling stayfrosty1337
+3 IsItREPEIsaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎10-20mg Olanzapine at night or 5mg at the beginning of the day helps Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+3 Just curious what's the best practice / how do you phrase it?  Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+3 nah, g’diddy is directly being promoted to chair of de&i Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 Wells Fargo is underrated in Houston. The office has been involved in high-profile energy transactions, including Chart Industries, USA Compression, Mach, and Antero. Mike Jordan
+3 Brother, your life is infinitely more interesting than mine, but I think you’re going to be hard-pressed to find too many people on WSO with intimate knowledge of the Australian real estate job market, much less its ease o CRE
+3 DEI Becky > MD’s sneaky link > Mistress > OG at ColdPlay Concert  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Well so it’s basically a case of a weaker brand acquiring a stronger brand name. Just thinking about it, no way Savills is going to adopt their Eastdil brand name. IRRcentric
+3 Straight to the gulag Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+3 I can see how this post and the cascading comments on the women bankers post happened. I'll be looking to pivot into restructuring as a result. Prospect in Research - FI
+3 I may have one of the most non-traditional exits from banking.  I was experiencing the same burnout you are now and exited for medical sales.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 wallherderInteresting. I am new to the sector (less than a year) so I might have a slightly ignorant bias still. What are your thoughts on Senior Living? CRE
+3 I'd be an equity partner only in businesses or real estate. I want no actual responsibility. Mainly staying away from RE, though it's going in the market in ETFs and DVD kings. Buy a shore house and retire. CPMA's15
+3 everytime a HF shuts down, we should think "there by the grace of god go i" HFPM15
+3 Because the nature of work in PE often feels boring and mind-numbing—you’re cranking through models and diligence to the degree that you stop caring about the substance of the work. Principal in PE - Other
+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 As a freshman in college I hear this opinion a lot actually, people always saying they’d prefer to see freshman do something normal with their summer like be a lifeguard or something, but it seems contradictory because you webhooks
+3 Bankers restructure the capital. Consultants restructure the business. Manager in CorpDev
+3 brosephstalin Ozymandia
+3 La verdad que E3 es muy buena carrera, tocas aspectos muy importantes de todos los enfoques de una empresa, y aprendes cosas vitales que te pueden venir muy bien en tu vida profesional.  ndccurwjfjew
+3 Echo a lot of what @seekinth Greenspan's Panties
+3 sort of a coughing baby vs. hydrogen bomb situation tbh Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Citi CoverageA2 -> A3 (first full year)Base $175k -> $200kBonus $115k, 20% of which is stock on 4 year vestRank 3/3 (mid bucket) hocuspocus123
+3 It is tough but my point is you can have your cake and it too if it's the right opportunity and you know how to negotiate. brosephstalin
+3 Definitely plenty with white nationalist tattoos  (And plenty of others weighing in at 300+ pounds because fitness standards have been waved so many times to keep up recruitment numbers)  CRE
+3 Wow thank you so much for taking the time to create this! Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 Average Dartmouth Partners experience Intern in IB - Cov
+3 I already did it among those at Wharton who know him don’t worry Intern in Consulting
+3 NoEquityResearchIt's the first successful political assasination since Bobby Kennedy and MLK in 1968. Is that not big enough for you? PokerSlopWars
+3 never too late for education brotha, GL need4yield
+3 UBS could work 7 days in office and would still be way outside the top 20 Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 I made $350K and spent $5500 for my apt. Best decision I’ve ever made. The incremental couple hundred bucks mean nothing compared to my overall happiness and career trajectory that will get enabled by a better space. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Ignore my title. I’ve seen all kinds of backgrounds at some lesser known growth equity firms. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
