Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+3 100% reach out to any and every Auburn alum in IB/PE/real estate investing/etc. You know the culture around SEC football, most of us would be more than happy to not only help an alum but also an athlete. Greg Marmalard
+3 I see a similar dynamic in tech growth. Some companies are either completely going to be losses and might even be zeros. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 bru think he thanos over jpm industrials. catch you in jammbo in 2 years twin  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 I think it depends on how many YOE's you have. If you're 1yr, you could probably apply to a lot of the new grad positions. If you're 2-3 years, you can apply directly to these companies rather than going through HH's. Research Analyst in PropTrad
+3 Bro how tf did you get an MKC spd lol. Gotta ask your connects for this one lol whoooo
+3 Not for you because you didn’t comprehend that the issue was work authorization and you have work authorization genius. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 I use to joke UBS was closer to 26 than 6. No longer can say that in the bullpen. Outside top 30 is so embarrassing Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Congrats on Concordia Capital rabbitfootbill
+3 I have had conversations with current/previous employees. Exits to other investing roles are rare, typically employees move to operations/strategic roles in their portcos. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 UBS use to think they’d be #6 by now. What a bunch of morons Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 100-130 for associate 2. 20-30% stock. EM this year you will likely do better. Good luck on Monday. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 x Works at BMO Capital Markets
+3 Money can't buy you class. What ever happened to good-manners?  If you put that scene in a movie or a book people would probably complain of it being unrealistic.  moneymaker03
+3 You’re saying more basic stuff tbh. VP in PE - Other
+3 Haha really? I analyze businesses for a living covering 30-40 stocks at any one time and am marked to market every day on it, with a clear assessment on my 18mo track record. therealgekko
+3 Everyone glaring at you is right. It's rule number one: you don't talk about bonuses and private equity in public if you don't want to be the most hated person in the room. elsizinie939
+3 One of the most toxic REGL teams in London from what I've heard Analyst 2 in RE - Other
+3 What country do you want to work in? The pathway in the US as an international is largely closed right now, hardly any firms will sponsor someone who needs a visa.  Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+3 do people only spend 20 hours on those take home caes? I think the ones I was assigned require more time than 20-25... Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+3 Tell them where you wanna exit to too, they'll be happy to arrange that nooneinparticular
+3 Looks like they’ve dropped to #31 now on the latest league tables Intern in IB - Gen
+3 Makes sense why someone from Asset Management - Equities would make broad high-level, dogmatic statements that lack any nuance. Where do you get your 5% from? Where do you get your 10% from? VP in PE - Other
+3 Everyone else has good points and I don't want to bog people down with the same stuff. Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+3 Large UMM; am an associate 2 about to become a senior assoicate. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 You gotta get out of the basement more, every comment is a new place you think sucks Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+3 Ah yes the "full time intern" position forgot about that one Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Was at EVR/LAZ/MOE until fairly recently in a top-performing group. All-in for asso1 was $425–450k (source: me and the guy who sat next to me). Neither of us were top bucket Associate 2 in PE - Growth
+3 Overlord? More like underlordGooner got cut during recruiting, have fun at Mizuho LAZ Houston on the rise, real ones know Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Unless global economy trends change; it's software. Software is simply just a bigger % of economy than others, is growing still, and is likely to keep growing as AI increases applications of software. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 When you say you prefer experienced hires, can other MDs apply?  professional.form.filler
+3 I had friends in GS Pub Fin and WLB wise it felt pretty sweaty and not far off M&A. KR8000
+3 Didn’t make the switch but was actually thinking the opposite - currently an MBB associate looking to switch to IB. Grass is always going to be greener on the other side I guess. 99thcoffeechat
+3 My school had a UBS placement! Intern in IB - Gen
+3 If someone can show me a single example of a banker lateraling from UBS to Piper (for a reason other than they got canned/pushed out of UBS) then there might be an argument here. Director in IB - Cov
+3 As an older member here, Calendly pisses me off more than anything. I don’t want to look at your calendar, just ask me for a time that works. TechBanking
+3 I posted at 9am on a Friday and I am a VP….so yeah I would fully expect everyone in the same scenario to have that “free time”. An AN2 posting pre 5pm on Friday is way more insane…shouldnt you have work to do? Director in IB - Cov
+3 Deal flow is quite strong, though big group so not everyone can work on the headline deals, though easy to hide and chill for a few years as well.  Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+3 And where did I defend it? FYI, I did not vote for the current administration.  GordonGekko87
+3 The number of applications has increased year after year, so it naturally has gotten exponentially harder to land interviews for an unchanged amount of spots. Monkey Badger
+3 Thanks. Last year I was at $300K base + $150K discretionary bonus plus promote interest only. This year, the bonus was cut in half citing turbulent markets/less volume. Developer in RE - Comm
+3 When I was applying for associate roles 7-10 years ago, I spent several weekends learning waterfall modeling before I even started applying. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+3 Nah this is overplaying it. You can learn from a great PM who’s a successful investor if he’s willing to put in the effort to mentor you. This isn’t some innate athletic ability. We’re buying and selling stocks, guys. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 It just means the software stores and/or collects data used to make decisions + has some level of adoption by workforce / integrated into other workflows. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Sir I promise you I wrote this from my own notes app lol  :( RustyRuss
+3 is this real? wow Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 I would take a “seat weighted average” here of people’s opinions if you are looking for a job. The jobs that hire the most will require the most modeling from young people. Works at Citadel Investment Group
+3 Still a student so feel free to disagree. Consultant in Consulting
+3 At a US MM in London Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 I have two friends that work there. The analysts get paid a bit higher than other EBs / on par with Centerview. The pay get significantly better than other EBs at the associate level and above. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 I think this is more about expectations having gotten way too high (and your comment reflects this). Associate 2 in PE - Other
+3 I see a somewhat related issue which I don’t see people talking much about. I think we’re only going to see bigger supply / demand issues as traditional software PE has been consolidating the market for years. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Congrats on Wells! Broketree Capital
+3 Got a corp dev internship solely through networking with an alum who happened to need a summer intern. Got my full time role also through networking with alum at a megafund. ibmayb
+3 Agree with all the above, and the way I've seen it (granted I'm not in RXCo), is that if it isn't cash flow / distressed legal / cap structure / valuation / IB or PE or PC esque work, RX consulting recruiters lump all of i Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+3 Just kill him. Life’s too short to put up with nonsense. Make his shorter.  IsItREPE
+3 31, 1.45MM Hopefully IB for 2 more years and get to 2MM and can walk away htx9517
+3 I've had people call me asking for updates on our development, I have no problem providing that info, not sure why everyone else here is so mum about their projects. jarstar1
+3 The ghost of Mike Gibbons still haunts the bullpen VP in PE - LBOs
+3 J got Stratton Oakmont Lets Go!!!!!! enronauditintern
+3 what did you pick ubs over? Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr
+3 Please follow up with what others have recommended above, looking into your physical/mental health, possibly different meds, talking to your therapist and work on trying to manage and potentially change some aspects of you InfoDominatrix
+3 it’s hard but possible, 5 slides + light model, company overview, competitive positioning, investment highlights (risks, mitigants), investment recommendation, model outputs + cap structure if needed bigwaffleman
+3 At big 4 internship, I travelled for a week and it was $15 for breakfast, $35 for lunch. $70 for dinner. Ubers covered everywhere, usually a nice Marriott. Can’t fly business class but can book any flight if reasonable. Intern in Consulting
+3 UBS SA return offer rates are set to be 30-40% this year. Source: UBS Director in Industrials.  Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+3 This isn’t the case across the board though Some corp dev roles pay the same or more up until VP / Principal. Head of Corp dev is a $1M+ comp role in many places Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Makes sense, the group is bloated. I would expect ~50% return rate this summer bank wide. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Honestly, the other comments might be shitting on you but honestly could just be falling victim to the fundamental attribution bias. Sometimes it's just purely bad luck. differentbrained
+3 I wouldn’t choose UBS for a 2 year analyst program you won’t get a live deal unless you are one nepo WASP hire Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Outside of top 10, those with avg deal size of $1B+ are: RBCBarcapPJTQAllen (n=1)SantanderNBCEastdilCIBCDesjardinsLeerink CohenBNPP Fort (n=2)Trinity (n=1) Prospect in IB - Cov
+3 I guess this is kind of like the chicken or the egg argument but sometimes when the toilet seat is too gross to sit on, I attempt a standing shit. Pokemon Master
+3 Liontree easy Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Its been very helpful to me, I'd recommend. It seriously rewired how I think about the space and I picked up some useful frameworks. You still need to put in the reps on interviews and cases if you are in SS ER or IB. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+3 Assuming your background is on par with your peers, social skills, social skills, and social skills. Can you have a conversation with someone and clearly communicate that you know your stuff without sounding pretentious? seekinthealpha1
+3 Here's a potential scenario.  Our next POTUS is a Democrat.  He sends armed and masked ATF agents into conservative municipalities to look for and confiscate illegally owned guns. Ozymandia
+3 That’s part of the problem. Use your brain instead.  IsItREPE
+3 Agreed this is often the case Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 If you want to do IB or PE post-MBA and are actually interested in learning how to role up your sleeves and get things done, I think A&M would be best. Lester Freamon
+3 London social housing is so fucked. There are people living in 50-100% subsidised housing in places like Kensington, Hampstead, Camden, Islington. anonf0fty
+3 K1 is consistently the leader for number of inbound resumes I get, and my firm isn't even on the West Coast. It's a horribly toxic environment. Model is very churn and burn... PE-biz-dev
+3 I'd say, 1, 2, 3, then 4, maybe 5 and finish it off with 6 and 7. That's definitely the definitive ranking.  jarstar1
+3 VP3: my comp number starts with a 4... again...ME...got torched this year in hours too Associate 2 in CorpDev
+3 So sweaty not a fun place Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Nobody is losing out on talent; there are far fewer seats at $4B+ funds than there are analysts at top BB/EBs. The prestige gap is a function of recruiting philosophy. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Congrats on the achievement! If you are interested in preparing for your new role, I'd suggest the following: StrategyCaseFlorian
+3 I have a pretty similar background to you and am experiencing a similar situation....although it has some interesting twists.  I did three years at TMT BB Group, and then spent 4 years at generalist LMM / MM PE fund. Torch480
+3 Rewriting the 400 questions is good for the first pass, but that knowledge has a half-life of about two weeks if you don't apply it. You are learning to pass a quiz, not to do the job. munky293
+3 Some degree of nepotism is necessary to fuel the desire to accumulate wealth.  miscer
+3 There are a lot of small firms like this that focus on one niche and don't want to grow beyond that, but have been operating for many years. cp5670
+3 As an MBA I was surprised for a second then remembered my worst classmates. Tracks. Hope those assholes get logged out of all their streaming apps and step in puddles every day through eternity. ct99
+3 Does it really matter ? Anything is kind of possible … figure out what YOU want and relentlessly pursue it , regardless of how likely it is or not to materialize  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 ^i'd argue that Goldman is able to win a lot of deals based on their brand name. The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
+3 Associate 2 in IB - DCMBarc Product Group2Y -> 3Y Associate$200K -> $225KBonus: $103K monkishitz
+3 Why is that your first thought when the guy has never said any location. You are weird. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+3 Love this take on a morphing economy but I still think many will take that soul-sucking corporate culture.  NewIndustryHorizon
+3 The 18 month program is optional at Kelley. It is supposed to give students an advantage finding an internship with the hope to convert, while still being able to go back to school for a semester. WallStreetTurtle359
+3 Would also add Peanut Tree and Hazelnut Tree to your list, top tier funds Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 here here, agreed. I got tired of the bs and moved to a farm  anonymnous
