+3 Gonna have to disagree with you on the culture part, mate. I'm in P&U at a different firm and have worked with them a few times, and I also have a buddy in the group.  Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+3 ASO3 -> VP1CoverageSantanderBase: 225  -> 275Bonus: 285 boobyblow69
+3 Think of it this way. The standard is something like $200k salary + $200k bonus + $200k annualized value of promote if you hit your base case targets. Now adjust that for your situation. Are you in a HCOL or LCOL market? Assist. VP in RE - Comm

+3 Agreed. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+3 Let’s run through the math. At $250mm and assuming 1.5% mgmt fee, your fund has a $3.75mm annual budget. Let’s assume 5 IPs (including founder/cio) and 2 “other employees” (accounting/cfo, investor relations/coo). Wish_I_HadTrustFund
+3 Macquarie AnInvestmentBanker
+3 To Catch a Thief with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. Perfection. IRR you ready to rumble

+3 Free trail and free mock inlcuded! Would be very grateful if anyone checks it out and give me some constructive feedback!!!  monkey9283
+3 Focus on what you can control - producing good quality work in a reasonable timeframe, whilst being easy to work with. The_Fisher_Account

+3 In short, Michigan State’s reputation in high finance remains extremely limited. Bump_monkey

+3 I would agree with almost everything here. Analyst 3+ in Private Credit

+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 This sounds like the protectionist coddling he was afforded Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Getting into PE from MBB is extremely difficult. There is a lot of valuable financial skills that you need to learn first in Banking to successfully transition. First_Lien_Larry
+3 Smu lowkey user181818

+3 The "keeping up with the joneses" mentality that exists in finance is harmful for this very reason. And I 100% get the temptation. PaulAllenIsInLondon
+3 Some degree of nepotism is necessary to fuel the desire to accumulate wealth.  miscer

+3 Creating a website where instead of having fun playing poker and testing your skills against other humans, people could just bet on bots playing other bots in poker. PokerSlopWars
+3 Late to this, but here's what's actually worked for me. monkey9283
