Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+3 Respectfully, I want whatever this guy's on moneymaker03
+3 Gotta go cold turkey. Replace the tick for sweets with sugar free chewing gum (you will go through a lot of packs in the beginning, it gets easier.) liquidiot
+3 I had a STEM background from college so was familiar with concepts and ideas but my coding ability needed work. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Are you defining REPE as Ares, Carlyle, Blackstone, etc? Because that’s a pretty small list. Maybe 25-50 firms if I’m being generous. Investment Analyst in RE - Comm
+3 Would even knock Citi down to C, no good upstream talent (missed out on core clients DVN/MGY mandates recently)...mostly midstream/insurance capital + tag-along capital markets plus former home of the diddler. GreenUpstream86
+3 Spoke with 2 different Analysts in NYC. They mentioned to me that they sent out HV to candidates they really liked, but would start getting back in Feb/ Mid-Feb. Hope this helps, good luck everyone!  bananananaaaa
+3 I spent a few years as an executive at a portfolio company. While I was there, the PE fund (one that is mentioned on these forums frequently) assigned me one of their interns. SoldMySoul
+3 I wouldn't say "material" especially if you are coming in at a junior level. It should be similar for Capital Markets roles, as you will benefit from having more Private Credit experience at the EB. Director in Private Credit
+3 I am in the States but work with all the major DA teams at the EBs in New York and London. Usual exits are PC funds or buyside capital markets. You dont underwrite, but deal a lot with the Private Credit asset class. Director in Private Credit
+3 Stop. Why the hell are you trying to say here? Young white men are definitely not the enablers of DEI. You are pulling some BS out of your back. Most people know its especially women benefitting. afdhfg
+3 if you’re a freeloading DEI female analyst/aso, you work in the office from 10:30-6 and “WFH” outside of that but in reality you do no work.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 I highly recommend an accounting degree to prep for a RE investments or development career.  Be open to eventually position yourself as a CFO of an asset intensive company, and maybe it’s CEO.  odog @digitalimmortality.com
+3 Holy shit who needs enemies you have this comment section. If anyone here genuinely believes you should take RJ over GS you are retarded and would likely fit in well there. Take GS and don’t look back. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Hey bro — I’m based in NYC, W-2 income, and I’ve built  ~$5M multifamily portfolio across DC and Maryland. Slowpoke
+3 Heard HL is screaming, crying, throwing up  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 therapy might help Analyst 1 in PE - Growth
+3 A couple add-on points. VP in IB - Restr
+3 I appreciate your passion and scrappiness. I'm not saying you haven't executed anything, but rather being an "ideas" person is largely useless in any start up setting. Determined
+3 Where's Wham!'s Last Christmas? nooneinparticular
+3 I was accepted into JPM’s Commercial & Investment Bank Investment Banking Insights Program, which will be held in person at the New York City offices. cafetero1492
+3 Thanks for this completely useless comment, do you have names or anything substantial to add or are you just a ChatGPT robot that summarizes market sentiment? thatREbro
+3 lol at the fact that you think the mainstream wants to read an article about how wall street white guys are the real victim Associate 1 in PE - Other
+3 Baypine has deployed very slowly since closing in 2022 (6 portco's), which puts a lot of pressure on timing unless each investment is a home run. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Already stated multiple times, but absolutely stay at Cornell to get the diploma and study abroad at least once. CoffeeBong
+3 Paraguay is fantastic, very safe and modernized and a growing cohort of digital nomads. Very easy to get a visa and set up less than $5k and you pay 0% on all foreign earnings. Macchiavelli11
+3 I’m at a BB (tier 2 shop) in ER. It’s tough, but one of my friends started in sales and made the jump to research. This happened at a non-BB (think mizzuho level shop) and then the team moved to my BB. Associate 3 in ER
+3 I don't work in this space nor in HFs, though I do enjoy "value investing", or maybe more correctly, fundamentals-based investing, as a hobby, so take this with grain of salt. TheFunkyMunky
+3 So true. Pitch comps, research reports, the slop is on the surface now. war dog
+3 . drkingpin
+3 Thanks for the additional context on your clients' inappropriate interactions with you. I'm sorry that happened, it sounds terrible. That said, I have no idea what this has to do with anything.  Determined
+3 I went from BB analyst to LMM assoc at a tiny firm, and it was great. I eventually left to start a company, but if I hadn't I'd probably still be there. TechBanking
+3 Trading in prop shops is kinda like this, but nerdier.  usernameladiesman217
+3 Think I’m gonna keep taking my NyQuil on that one Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 I think I did say debt would be a good spot. Post was geared for entry level people. Senior VP in RE - Comm
+3 Any decent fund of any size should teach you these skills and hold you to these standards. PE is the professional finishing school that banking was supposed to be but never was in reality. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 Congrats on RBC Intern in IB - CB
+3 I was in a similar position. I used to work at a seller/servicer and left for a bank that's a little bigger than Key. My larger team has so many VPs who are at least 50 years old and have been at the bank for years. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+3 Bro how tf did you get an MKC spd lol. Gotta ask your connects for this one lol whoooo
+3 Silver Lake is not cooked. LP's will continue to give them capital. Everyone knows the ZIRP-era was a terrible time to buy businesses in software. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 A few people in my group did the switch from non-RE coverage/product groups to RE. Would say the biggest things you need to work on are: 1. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+3 Intern here is very imaginative   Prospect in IB - Cov
+3 Well 2.6bn EBITDA means nothing and it doesn't matter. Which is probably why you're not able to decipher it. It's just a number. Numbers only matter in context. nutmegger189
+3 Your friend must be a bottom-bucket analyst at JEFF Houston, or he just doesn't want to go to bat for you. If JEFF Houston has no deal flow, then Houston is probably doomed. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+3 gpa irrelevant as long as it's over 26/27 EMEA_Levfin_Sis
+3 Maybe start by learning what schools are considered semi-target Long_AMD
+3 Summer Associate in HF - Event
+3 UBS is DEAD. Source: I work there Works at Credit Suisse
+3 The only diversity that matters is socioeconomic diversity (read: giving poor people who deserve the job more access) and diversity of thought. Associate 2 in IB - CB
+3 bro said evc anonwsouser123
+3 Some of these takes are just lazy. Read the news and understand the market you’re trying to get into instead of recycling decade-old anecdotes.  rocket.scientist
+3 Why are you asking the M&A coverage analyst detailed questions about equity strategies lol Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+3 It’s more predictable and the absolute hours are a bit lower but the actual work is significantly harder / more mentally involved. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 As explained earlier, prime beneficiaries of Gender DEI are white women even though that is not marketed by banks but stats prove that. VP in IB - Cov
+3 base salarybase salarybase salarybase salary  Research Analyst in HF - Other
+3 Thank you so much for doing this. I have a few questions I'd like to ask: Analyst 1 in AM - Other
+3 Personally, I’d say 4 overall “metrics” (I use metrics loosely) determine the economic outlook. Recruiter in CorpStrat
+3 We target mid-teens-plus returns, and we’re pretty disciplined about that. We model ranges and sensitivities, but at the end of the day, if a deal can’t realistically get us there, we just won’t do it. Analyst 3+ in HF - Event
+3 You have to take a lot of the comments about hours on this forum with a grain of salt cause half of them come from first year analysts or interns that are shit at the job and didn’t know  what sumifs or PowerPoint sho Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 270 / 300 / 330 / 360 for ASO 1 through 4. VP1s get 425 cash comp. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Because you want to study finance. You wouldn't honestly tell me that you need to study finance to excel in this industry, right? nutmegger189
+3 UBS arena janitor I 22k bonus not bad imo considering these 3rd year associates bonuses range from 45-70k zeroto100nrq
+3 It’s a mix. Many RX consulting clients can be turned around and are just liquidity-starved or overleveraged. Others are truly headed for liquidation or asset sales, at which point our goal becomes 1. Consultant in Consulting
+3 Hasn't been the case for me yet Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Would never say that bc it’s a weird thing to say — but I get at least 2-3 requests for coffee chats a week. Associate 3 in ER
+3 Yes and no I think. Yes you are correct in that of course people were offended about what he said about American culture. hedgehog9
+3 Just make sure to tip him in the end. Considering it's NY IB, 25% is statutory  nooneinparticular
+3 I also am a born and bred New Yorker, and I really regret not spending a year doing something else, somewhere else. Ozymandia
+3 Valentines day is coming up so make sure to get him a bouquet of red roses, bankers actually evaluate u on this. Intern in IB - Gen
+3 You should look at share price, not just market cap. The reason is because a company's market cap can increase through equity issuance without creating any value for existing shareholders. PM in HF - EquityHedge
+3 Following Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 Frame it as you are increasing leverage to lower your cost of capital war dog
+3 My understanding is as follows:  Intern in IB-M&A
+3 I’m a career switcher from big 4 audit to acquisitions at a large fund. Very common background. My accounting knowledge has been invaluable to my general business sense in all facets of my career. Investment Analyst in RE - Comm
+3 Did you mean merger arbitrage? Multiple arbitrage is different, but merger arbitrage answers your questions… PeterEater
+3 Second this. What people often miss is that many Evercore London teams share P&L with NY, so London analysts work on large US deals, not just European flow. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 This is about average, maybe slightly more busy than the norm. Don't remind me about rough days, those blow IB/PE out of the water. The thing abt RX is that you've got optionality. Want less hours? Do creditor side. Consultant in Consulting
+3 I'm sure you can probably get a 'random' IB somewhere in California to take a shot but the better question would be would you want to do it?  VP in PE - LBOs
+3 "I feel like both finance/consulting even come with some sort of negative stigma..." wallstrett
+3 Jefferies Tel Aviv Coverage Group  UnbentPenguin34
+3 Who give link please Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+3 No clue if this is true for all right now, but I've also felt HHs across the board have seemed to be much flakier than in the past. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+3 I'd say improve Gmat + get as good internships as possible. Gpa matters a lot for bocconi but not for French ones. TAS is great, you should be able to convert it easily. adrien3
+3 UBS not #17 Associate 3 in IB - ECM
+3 processes sped up a lot this cycle dicky

+3 The simple answers are : yes I did, but too few; no; and on the contrary they absolutely should! tcbflash
+3 It is crazy to see the hate that Cornell and Brown get. They should be with the rest of the ivies. Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 You are young. Life passes by quick, and the years you have with your health and the ability to explore your community, your self, and your world are scarce. jaxcut4
+3 I was bottom bucket with a zero bonus and went to a top-tier MF then solid single manager and recently touched closed to $M NW. ProbablyEngAnyway
+3 Public data - go type in 100k in 2020 on bls inflation calculator and tell me what it says moron. Unless you going to say some stupid bullshit that public data is incorrect. You are insufferable. patrick_bateman_
+3 Not in the rebal trade at all but when you have printed money for a decade plus while running the largest strategy at multiple firms, your leash is just a lot longer. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+3 It sucks ass but prolly would still do it again. Was able to save up and buy a house and my dream car and got a super cool job after it I wouldn’t have been able to get if I hadn’t done IB. Anonymous Monkey
+3 Based on her TikTok it seemed like she had a new role lined up? Anyone know where she’s going? Principal in PE - LBOs
+3 Go into corporate banking to minimize cortisol Prospect in IB - Cov
+3 I just went through the interview process for a US market on the east coast. Was quoted $285k all in (base + bonus) for director (development and acquisitions) level. No equity until MD. Principal in RE - Comm
+3 Who are the big companies that have offices in Italy that work in multiple European countries?  CRE Credit
+3 Think that’s part of the issue. These teams are often lean enough and working so hard that it’s pretty easy to notice when someone’s consistently not at their desk for long periods of time. Investment Analyst in PE - LBOs
+3 Apparently pay for an/asso is standardized across groups, so assume it's in line with others MF (which is like ~33% higher in Boston than NY or SF). Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
