Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+3 Thanks CNBC for your original take. surfnsand
+3 You’re cooked for ivies and stern, northwestern, UChicago etc, but you can still get Ross/georgetown. Make sure you ED one of those (or stern/Uchi which are significantly easier in ED) rooseveltfan
+3 Many groups have Asian clusters that get together in the office start talking about everyone around them in Mandarin (thanks Google Translate) Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+3 That’s the irony of your comment. It’s not supposed to be an original take. It’s a common sense take. Yet over half this country seems to lack that very common sense and not only lack it. anon1019
+3 Lazy f**g*t zoomer Senior VP in RE - Comm
+3 Incel fiesta in here let's gooo somrandom
+3 He can probably get any potential girlfriend(s) internships too Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 If I've learned anything regarding staffing sheets, it's to be honest as much as possible. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 I can't imagine having $100m+ to invest in some platform (that may not even work out) and taking business calls on the weekend from someone who wants my money. Kevin25

+3 What’s Gucci my killa? What’s drugs my dealer? SOFRsoGood
+3 Can confirm that 90% of the work in XIG is direct underwriting of individual assets through CVs or Coinvestments. Golden_Slacks
+3 Just don't.  If you have to ask this question, you are not experienced enough to be doing so in the first place.  (Rant over). WSOEAN
+3 Please explain to Waspy Waspface why universal suffrage is retarded. Certain cultural practices exhibited by indians i.e the caste system have no place in the west. They are indoctrinated in it. RestIess
+3 Kevin25: Associate Consultant in Consulting
+3 I do know of him and was close to the process. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 Don't have much to add, but I think the general summary is: mrharveyspecter
+3 Current Asso at a MF looking for a move to Secondaries. Has been the hottest Area in PE for a while now and will be for the N5-10Y. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Non issue. I know at least two dozen people who are out in this industry. No one cares Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+3 Did soph summer in BB IB but went to one of the programs you’re talking about. Two points here: Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Breaking: UBS hires H1B Social Media Analyst to shill UBS and troll anyone criticizing UBS Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 OP here. Yes that's just a Bernoulli equation using tan and cos as p(x) and q(x). Not going to solve here but yeah, I can't stand law. I was much better at math. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+3 PE really is that bad. Don’t make the move. Stay in consulting, get EM. When you want to start a family, go coast at a PharmaCo. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 So it took me a bit to understand that you are talking about admin staff, not an Enrolled agent. (different rant there, but let's say they aren't getting invited to parties often) Whatever1984
+3 HL RX is $20 Lunch/$40 Dinner every day in office incl. weekends. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+3 So to recap: Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas

+3 Moelis? doubleoseven
+3 just put the fries in the bag man Associate 1 in PE - Other
+3 UBS IB is so lowly regarded they are all pretty much back office loan processors Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+3 This sounds like the protectionist coddling he was afforded Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 A little bit late on this but thought I’d share my thoughts. Stronger IB placements than I expected initially coming here. Used to be very consulting focused, but now the student body seems more IB dominated. hatedChimp
+3 I hear what you’re saying, but it is tough to start slacking off and not pull my weight when everyone on my team is working the exact same amount. It’s not like I’m the only one on my team getting grinded like this. Associate 3 in PE - Growth
+3 Holy Slop Jellop. Can’t decide if this is Ai slop, ragebait, or a financebro trying to resonate that he’s deep, or a mix of all. xxx1
+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 ​Anyone else feel like the technical ceiling in standard PE is too low, and the real wealth creation is in understanding covenant triggers and DIP financing? GS under Blankfein
+3 Depends what you want. AFM afaik is a more quant program, Laurier has more alum (which matters a lot) and from what I’ve heard, alumni that are actually willing to go to bat for you. bananapiano
+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 Kids with pedigree and high investment in their education are generally in better seats… woah really connected the dots here my guy, no one has ever realized this Intern in IB - Gen
+3 Congrats on UBS! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 It was a bottom group for UBS as of 1H 2025, but has had a relatively strong 2H 2025 in UBS terms though: announced a few M&A deals recently most notably Veeco - Axcelis $4.4bn M&A as sole advisor, and some lead-le Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Edibles are just too strong in legalized places like NYC, and in general, they just last too long. Mastery 7 IB Shitter
+3 I would second this, the Big 4 Rx teams are fundamentally different from dedicated Rx firms. RCJ92
+3 Its a bit circular. You can almost think of it like Ebay shareholders paying themselves. Lester Grossman
+3 I think the most risk averse option is applying to UVA McIntire ED (since you're an in-state applicant). I'd also throw in apps to LACs that place (Amherst, Williams, & Middlebury) along with Emory Goizueta. CuriousGeorge1024
+3 Offering some perspective here (ignore title). I'm at a top target, interned at an EB and didn't get the return offer. Sr. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 UBS? Zoo wee mama RestIess
+3 Welcome to PE man. This isn’t summer camp. I did MBB for almost 4 years so I understand the transition you’re experiencing. Reality is people are busy and trying to make money. They have families and stuff. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 I did a CB internship at a BB. I have seen two of these options play out: Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 You’re probably spoiled and bored, but that doesn’t have to be a reason to not make a change. Life’s short. If you want to do something else, do it.  CRE
+3 I’ve worked at places with opaque attribution/PnL and others with full daily portfolio, open files on the drive and analyst tagged attribution Anchor
+3 If you want contrarian thinking maybe Apollo is the place for you, according to their Youtube videos. DAFA
+3 Yeah, I had a really good mid-cycle review, and a few people I worked with actually called me after the decision saying they were surprised and didn’t really know what happened either. el2333
+3 Ivy league, 4.0 gpa, finance major and no job🥀🥀 lordchampa
+3 More honorable than MUFG or SMBC or Mizuho  Far less honorable than Seppuku Managing Director in IB-M&A
+3 Disagree maybe it’s different in your sector, but I see Evercore running on a lot of deals (including big ones) on the street more often than I see MS. Would lump them above Bofa and for 100% above PJT. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Ay bro if u wanna coffee chat me i’ll get us milk babaganoosh342
+3 pay it forward bruh you know what the struggle is like Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 I disagree, saying the PJT M&A franchise is better than EVR is a bit too much. I guess it depends on the vertical, but EVR FIG, Tech, HC, Infrastructure and some other verticals are very strong in EMEA Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Emory BBA has a solid growing presence in NYC for IB. ryanyorkman
+3 Kind of disagree with some details of your post. Sure, some funds can and will continue to cut fees because they underperform the benchmark or their own cheap alternative. These funds shouldn’t exist anyway. goopiness
+3 FP does not do value investing, I do not know what you are talking about. Work in a top tech group and FP is one of the sponsors who are known to pay up for what they like. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Context of where you are physically adds another layer. Dynamic in APAC is definitely different from US talent pool. I'm a sector specialist but with a global coverage, so I interact with a fair number of peers in HK. LSMacroEquities
+3 My two cents as I work in credit research right now at an insurance company and worked in FIG IB straight out of school. I would say both of your options will give you what you need to break into credit/equity research. DJtheNonTarget
+3 The VP says the underwriting is beginning to reflect reality. lmao GS under Blankfein
+3 Yes finally the voice of reason. Agree with your list and add values and a vision and a purpose in life that is greater than you BarackHusseinObama
+3 Switch GS and CVP, Dyal and Lazard, change order of small boutiques to Dyal > M. Klein > Ardea > Allen > Tidal > LionTree magictricks
+3 reads like an ai slop grenade tbh, but here you go: ______ ctrl+1
+3 Distressed investments were better in the 80s and 90s cause no one invested in the space but as more and more capital came into play here returns were driven down. FinanceDudeBro
+3 I want to exit for a better lifestyle (I loathe late night calls with offshore teams) and more interesting work. Business School in CorpStrat
+3 semaj123What a pleasant response, thanks Whatever1984
+3 Long Electrician career path, short Equity Research career path nyctooexpensive2
+3 TruthToLight incoming... susAmongus
+3 Sensational stuff. New benchmark for Paradise posts! Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+3 Have heard they are solid from a friend that worked across in a deal Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+3 That sounds like pure research. I think you will want to be a bit more applied instead of math for math’s sake. Do you think there’s a common heteroskedaticity issue across much of quant research? Partner in PE - LBOs
+3 An additional comment - don’t treat as “research” in the academic sense just because it’s called QR. WSRaider
+3 Sure post with a burner and I’ll dm you.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 Correct. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 God how can you be a finance professional and so clueless. You think we are missing the point? Really? We understand exactly what you’re saying, we just think it’s completely asinine. Smoke Frog
+3 DEL, replied to wrong post. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Best bet is your ops team. Grab a drink with one of the guys and ask him to pass you the details. Give a reason, say you are interested in understanding slippage/transaction cost, etc.  WilliamsBleh
+3 What are your thoughts on pivoting from credit to an equity L/S platform? Associate 1 in Private Credit
+3 As others have said nothing is worth almost dying over / completely destruction of health & wellbeing Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 3.96 double major math+cs, in prop trading. GPA continues to matter for resume screens. Think of it as percentage pass. Greater than 3.8 you’ll pass 99% screen, 3.5: 50% chadmaxxer
+3 In the kids defense he has a 4.0 GPA as an economics major from an Ivy League, I think he could’ve landed an internship without his Dads help.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Go hug your parents and spend time with your friends. Life is short and this career is not worth your life. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 If you can't have authentic relationships with co-workers then something is fundamentally wrong with the culture. Office politics are inevitable but that doesn't mean every interaction is some calculated move. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 Can’t speak to pay, but can give some colour re overviews of the firms. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Agree that best seats are top SM/MM hybrid places like Holocene/Woodline/Junto. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+3 Not sure if this is just venting - but if not out of curiosity, and not being facetious, if not happy there why not just hit eject? Anonymous Monkey
+3  JPM, GS and Lazard imo Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 tons of assholes in PE, but also high pressure, no time and sleep deprived. However, and saying this as an ex Consultant, consulting is overly cuddly and infantile. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Strong/“hot” groups: Tech & ECM (niche but active), FIG (steady deal flow), and sometimes Healthcare/BioPharma depending on market cycles. UBS has been leaning into growth sectors. lepharaon33
+3 Take a page from Rana playbook maybe? Partner in HF - Event
+3 Once you realize recruiting / job hunting is relationship based you can lateral anywhere. Hiring decisions are made by a few people not a committee of 30  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Can someone bless up with the HireVue questions after they do it.  PmantheProp
