+3 I wouldn't stay in banking purely for the training if you've got a genuinely strong buyside offer. anonymous_monkey_
+3 No not really on par. It is still a semi target. More in the edhec/em group adrien3
+3 Thanks for letting us know where you're from. Assuming it's the same cost here's my breakdown: Intern in IB-M&A
+3 "No material progress has been made". You're telling on yourself here. nutmegger189
+3 Oldest university in the US which has had absolute dominance over global culture for nearly the past century. Intern in IB - Restr
+3 Absolutely do not try to negotiate for equity within 3 months of starting. It will come across as incredibly tone-deaf. Developer in RE - Comm
+3 My two cents is you should worry more about learning than comp. patrick_bateman_
+3 Agreed. nutmegger189
+3 Scotia or TD?? rolo25
+3 MOE led the process on the advisory side. But correct WF shared equal economics and is leading the financing. VP in IB - Gen
+3 The ones that left for PE Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 Very strong group, provably the strongest coverage group Intern in IB - Cov
+3 Post-Covid in my group, 9:30 am - 9 pm was pretty standard for male analysts, with many staying until 1-2 am.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Best staffing model is PTO. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 As an undergrad, I think I have sort of a contrarian view on this (sort of optimistic). Intern in IB-M&A
+3 All firms are one and done if you get to the interview stage. No chance they’ll spend more time on someone previously rejected, just not a good use of time whether it’s fair or not.  VP in PE - LBOs
+3 If your long-term goal is S&T—especially in commodities—then the small physical ag trading firm could be a hidden gem. DerivativesRiskEducation
+3 They like the power dynamic and the feeling of being admired. It’s essentially an ego trip. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 senior Aso here. Me and one of the partners at my firm flip fuck. He says if I just do a little better I can get promoted to VP but I don’t believe him. But I guess a blow job is better than no job. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3  I've seen you under every single tier list ranking recently with this same copy and paste list  Intern in IB-M&A
+3 Tier 1: Q, GS Tier 2: MS, EVR Tier 3: JPM, CVP, Laz, Moe Makes top 8 as seen, imo. generally agreed upon Prospect in IB - Cov
+3 She likely plans on leaving, and this is her "exit" strategy.  Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+3 Start the calls as a freshman no doubt. Give yourself as much time as possible to get a large sample size. Commodity.Chimp
+3 If you're from another major SEA market and speak a local SEA language, your profile would be more interesting to PE firms than a Singaporean tbh. lakakahakaka
+3 Thank you so much for your response, the preamble was extremely valuable and perhaps far more valuable than what I was initially looking for. sp1313
+3 Sh*t happens in careers. Either this person started their own company. Or they got let go. Nothing is linear and people can stop climbing the ranks. pudding
+3 It is still good - I would post even more positive things about UBS but don’t have time given how much deal flow  VP in IB - Cov
+3 i also used to sh some years ago, and have really big scars on my arm. rn im currently in an ib internship. pxwb

+3 Was a good movie. Barbie was better though ImagineSisyphusHappy
+3 sensational contribution  Congrats on NYU alexcokke
+3 Limited interaction, but the two or three people I met both seemed very smart but arrogant. Consultants who seemed more focused on showing how smart they were rather than executing deals. CoffeeBong
+3 no, it means he was fired and now he is homeless Dazzling-External-29
+3 Already stated multiple times, but absolutely stay at Cornell to get the diploma and study abroad at least once. CoffeeBong
+3 I'm not sure if I would call it early days, maybe a 2nd try but Japanese banks have a history of trying to enter foreign markets with a mixed record of success. Mogwai
+3 Discrimination isn’t legal, just widespread. If men are being discriminated against, we need to file EEOC complaints for workplace discrimination based on sex and sue.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Not a fan of new logo or website. Font is terrible le. Probably paid consultants so much money for this stephen4056
+3 To make it worse, all women in the team are promised at least a mid-bucket as long as they do just enough because HR and MD wants to retain them Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Is the collective iq of this forum so low that people don’t realize that this is the most obvious troll post Intern in IB-M&A
+3 Ex-MBB, now in tech working on AI. This feels less like “regulation prevents AI” and more like “banks are using compliance as a blanket excuse because nobody wants to own the implementation risk.”  Ex-consultant in Tech
+3 Are you a Canadian or American citizen? Just curious why you are applying to the Canadian offices if you are from a US school.  sksmxn
+3 Least Sweaty LSE first-year WarrenBuffet15
+3 If you add in the fact that most European targets have summer breaks with mandatory internships and most people at targets do a gap year between bachelor and master it makes sense. afdhfg
+3 He was connected to a series of poos that were curiously not in the loo Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Yes and more importantly both happy  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+3 Calling people you never met racist or garbage types implies the problem is you Xhamster02
+3 Not sure if my comment got removed or I never posted it  But upshot is that sixth street falls squarely in the cohort I was talking about above  Monkey.D.
+3 Reneging doesn’t matter with this team. They aren’t well connected on Wall Street anyways Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 del NewIndustryHorizon
+3 3 bankers in A1 class across different banks. Always a good idea to get people with similar incomes and lifestyles.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Male junior investment bankers effectively get paid much less than their female counterparts. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Culture sucks. Houston sucks. It’s a mature industry with a declining client base from consolidation. Lack of exit opportunities.  Associate 1 in IB - CB
+3 Exactly.. Without prior experience it will basically be a debt trap that I've seen plenty of people in my circle fall into. Goj5979
+3 You have to change your mindset, will power ain't enough. The_Vulture
+3 Who give link please Analyst 2 in IB - Restr

+3 You could pull the plug on Grandma twice!  CRE
+3 I feel a lot of the things on the list can be 80/20 ruled if you’re familiar with the 80/20 rule. tfgf
+3 Fair take and appreciate the data point. I will say that you're clearly senior enough to enjoy such a stance around AI. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+3 Macro appears to die every 3-5 years. Then comes back with a vengeance. Never dies.  (Made the mistake of thinking it was dead in the past. Many have. Lesson learned) Macro Arbitrage
+3 Im a Rutgers student and followed up with one MD 30+ times. Don’t stop Intern in IB-M&A
+3 In the prop/HFT world a few large firms have teams with no base salary or healthcare at all, in exchange for much larger pnl cuts with better terms. So you need a second job in a different industry or substantial savings. cp5670
+3 My advice to all interns is to accept the offer and re-recruit in the background. Good to have the job as a backup in case you aren't able to get something. Job market is not very fun right now. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 No real deal flow, at least not on the scale of a bb, and pretty terrible overall. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Hey, you’re in a pretty normal spot tbh and 28 with 4 years of experience is actually a good time to do this. Kevin W.
+3 I have and thank you so much for all the valuable advice!! I found your answer regarding resources incredibly helpful and will be reading up on those in the upcoming weeks. Prospect in IB - Restr
+3 If a broker is quoting a cap rate, it is likely the most favorable analysis of the property. The specific scenario could vary depending on what story they are trying to sell regarding the asset in question. DisgruntledAppraiser
+3 pavementroad: mmmmonkey
+3 All quoted cap rates are fake until proven otherwise  larry david
+3 Have you considered a CXO role? Lot of smaller lower middle market PE firms higher an operator to effectively learn how to run a business they own so they can eventually take over from the seller after they retire. PeakedinHS
+3 The most logical step for someone who isn't raising institutional money (if you have to ask how to or what institutional money is, you are not in a position to raise it), is to raise it from friends and family. Principal in RE - Comm
+3 guggenheim i like. jefferies i would not consider an EB, but who cares about those designations anyway. the other ones you mention, pwp i like. dont know much about roth and ghl. SOFRsoGood
+3 Totally agree. midwestern chimp
+3 It can be helpful even if it is pure execution focused. (I'm assuming this will be the case given the actual investing seat in those shops wouldn't label the job as trader but as Investment Associate/analyst). Associate 1 in S&T - FI
+3 Yeah don’t disagree at all - we’re on such a strange economic trajectory right now that literally no one seems to have well thought out answers on. TQQQ999999
+3 You mean meaningless daily rankings and congrats on XYZ posts don’t keep you coming back everyday?? VP in IB - Cov

+3 For what it's worth, I'm a believer that if you're an avid collector/enthusiast it's worth investing in getting all the servicing and repair equipment yourself. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+3 Don’t go to a small fund out of undergrad NotFinanciallyAnonymous
+3 People have been saying this since I started my career ~15 years ago. kuf135
+3 Lets start with the most important question, what does your gut tell you? Do YOU think you should stay with her? Do you have conversations about marriage, do you think she's the one? Deal Team Six
+3 ojapar20I studied CS at UChicago so pretty sure I understand it well. CRE
+3 Army vet -> MBA -> IB here.  chubbsmcjohnboy
+3 CoffeeBong: Director in RE - Comm
+3 leon123 WaffleFalafel
+3 Throw a dart at a wall.  If the company says they are "AI driven," you get to keep throwing darts until you hit a valuation that no longer makes sense.  WeatherController
+3 Best mix of culture and deal flow is definitely Sponsors Intern in IB-M&A
+3 Expect what?  Unfalsifiable fluff? Every time you pop up, you have a lot to say until it comes time to make a statement that you might be forced to stand behind.  Then you disappear Ozymandia
+3 I think the only gay thing in this entire thread is you roleplaying and cosplaying as a famous investment banker LMAO Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 C.R.E. Shervindecade? try 30 years it was easy Ozymandia
+3 It’s becoming very hard to progress into partner seats at established funds. I’m seeing more and more VP’s and principals (vast majority) hitting glass ceilings and re-thinking their career paths. riverpaint
+3 Assuming you’re interested in M&A specifically. Both Greenhill & Mizuho originate deals. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
