+3 Thanks for the color — I appreciate it. Offered@
+3 Survivorship bias Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+3 HEAT ILOVEBANANAS123
+3 Hard to describe but just very rude and clearly didn’t want to be interviewing. Maybe he was having a bad day, who knows. And no I didn’t turn down because of him but got a better offer at a larger fund. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 I got shoved out of my MF and now doing strategic finance at a privately owned company.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 To Catch a Thief with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. Perfection. IRR you ready to rumble
+3 Let’s be honest. MBA had nothing to do with them being dumb. I don’t know where to even start. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 They aren’t even willing to stay in the office for long hours… half the women left at 5 pm at my bank to “WFH”. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Good question, and you're right that the answer is context-dependent. But I'd push back on leaving it there. The 'it' factor is like pornography — you know it when you see it, but's not necessarily easy to articulate. Burke
+3 Analyst 2 in IB - Gen Lockwood
+3 Had to oversee two this summer as senior mentor. What you’d call DEI (and got offer through that recruiting path) actually passed with flying colors with no hiccupes. Teller in IB - Cov
+3 I don't have direct experience in your role but can comment from the private equity and IB side of the equation. LBOnlyFans
+3 Agree on seeing a lot more posts about RX consulting over the past 12-16 months. I'm at a smaller restructuring consulting shop, and the monthly networking requests have almost quintupled, and I'm not exaggerating. VP in Consulting
+3 even if you blew them all your still years out in CA pere797
+3 RX most hardo group. WSO most hardo outlet for people recruiting. Combine together, lots of posts on it. Intern in IB - Gen
+3 Totally agree. midwestern chimp
+3 you hvae not joined and already want to lateral clLLOALL
+3 At the VP level, is it market for DAW to increase each year, or once you’re locked in, you’re locked in until the earlier of your promotion or the next fundraiser? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 You’re not alone, I also did not like my summer. I interned at a solid MM bank and I enjoyed the work a lot but hated the politics with a passion. Teller in Non-profit
+3 You people just pervert everything and are unable to speak normally. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 Marc Rowan at Apollo said "we make ten decisions a year. The rest is ceremony." The entire industry is levered beta or stripping down companies. Very little true alpha.  Pussy galore
+3 Citi has a much stronger presence across the board and a clear direction of travel under Jane and Vis. BofA is a bit lost at the moment and hasn’t been able to build up their franchise over the past years. Managing Director in IB - Cov
+3 Interviewed with all listed below and did a FIG internship recently MS and GS are standout, probably MS >= GS on a small margin JPM is good Prospect in IB - Gen
+3 Yeah its a good shout. Cap Group is definitely up there with Wellington/Fidelity. They have a really unique model in terms of analysts running their own books, which are fed into the main funds. batrickpatemans
+3 Imagine being an intern knowing your Associate is relying on WSO to decide whether you deserve a return offer. crazylifechoices
+3 I could give you more than just the tip Prospect in IB - Gen
+3 Non-operating capital requirements. Debt maturities, legal settlements, transaction related expenses, etc. Principal in HF - Event
+3 Remember people also lie. This girl in my group kept boasting how well her review went and ended up not getting a return.  Incoming Analyst in IB - Gen
+3 I would travel and do something interesting imo yungho
+3 Being charismatic and well-spoken is the biggest differentiating factor imo. I come from a complete non target and was able to get a handful of good offers. Intern in IB - Gen
+3 As previous poster said: it's an employer's market and they get to be choosy, and they'll always play it safe and hire the guy with the most acquisitions experience.  Unfortunately it's just that simple. asmith_1
+3 Ive heard Evercore’s FIG team is very strong. Intern in IB - Gen
+3 because they have 3 wives. women are not cheap Mike_wacczowski76
+3 All I know is, everyday I get more of an entrepreneurial itch to open up a physical store selling consumer goods I'm interested in (sport goods) in a chill, quaint small town by the water.  NewIndustryHorizon
+3 Someone should start a fund called “Blackice” so we can have Blackstone, BlackRock, and Blackice Paul_Owen
+3 I’m in a pretty similar boat. tuftsofwisps
+3 It’s basically the private version of ECM. You’re essentially a placement agent but in-house for a bank, specifically moving corporate paper to UHNWIs, family offices, and some sovereign wealth funds. FitBoy
+3 Kelley has a far stronger brand name and more established pipeline into MBB and Tier 2 firms (consulting workshop) but is by no means a guarantee to a top consulting firm. UnknownChimp5
+3 Cars Fast and Fiduciary
+3 you just gotta stand outside at night and stare at the sky and go back inside and lock in Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+3 Okay Marco, now get UBS M&A working davani1420
+3 No they’re not because just as you have multiple functions in IB you have multiple different teams that can have grads training to be ACAs so the specialism you get from Tax is different from FDD and the qualification is o Accountant in Acct - Other
+3 I would argue that public credit HFs don't have a real "ranking" analogous to PE because smaller opportunity set means most public credit HF teams will look at similar names, as opposed to clear size stratifications you se sand491
+3 he didnt say he couldnt see his penis though... Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 I’m not even going to bother arguing. Just look up the last name of every big 5 intern on LinkedIn. Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 What’s super target? davani1420
+3 What does top PE mean? If you mean MF's: lateral after a year. Going for FT recruiting in this environment isn't worth it. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 Is OP talking about doing distressed debt investing or RX advisory? VP in PE - LBOs
+3 ehh - they're trying to be but in reality most of their hires are from the pods anyways and they tend to run more like that. herzyherzy
+3 Used to be at Centerbridge, don't give away any more info at risk of being identified. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+3 bottledwaterThis is a serious question. Viagra works but it is not good long term. Plus, I cannot anticipate when my girlfriend will be in the mood.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+3 I made a really long post about Ai and how its affects are really overblown in a lot of ways, I'll link here usernameladiesman217
+3 I think that your best option is to portray as continuing to work on your business. overandout
+3 Received a workday and will update compellingrainbow
+3 Highest IQ comment by far The easiest IQ test today is asking "What is the primary cause of declining standards of living for the middle class today" Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Can't get more niche than this one: pitch dot black dot industries Licensed brothel properties only, fixed unit trust SPV format. Shareholders can be foreigners 40%, with no duty / no tax. Sydney, Australia. wentingzhang
+3 Wen PIK for KIK? Principal in HF - Event
+3 No such thing as a respectful way to renege. I'm sure it's a non issue, but you will never work at that company or with anyone who recruited you again.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 This is very common. GPs typically must “commit” to put a certain amount of their own capital into a fund alongside LPs. This fee-free investment is more typically referred to as co-invest. SaaSChimp
+3 That’s so scary. Imagine you are an associate who gives him a task he doesn’t like or doesn’t feel like doing. A couple calls and your job is gone Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 base salarybase salarybase salarybase salary  Research Analyst in HF - Other
+3 Aso 2Sector focused EBBase $200kBonus $300kBank had a good year, glad they looked after us. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 This sounds like the protectionist coddling he was afforded Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Let’s see. Middle Market bank. Think of Baird, Blair, HL. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Mom is a head at KKR, can you fucking read? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+3 All - OP here.  Excited to share an update with you all. dglax69
+3 Networking calls are a way (at least in restructuring) to demonstrate A) that you’re socially sensible and would be able to hold a good conversation with the team B) soft interest in restructuring. tentwothree
+3 Nah bruh you're fine this shit happens. Mr Incredible
+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 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 Thank you, this is incredibly helpful and inspiring! I have been giving it some thought about whether or not this job is for me. Intern in IB - Cov
+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 I do know of him and was close to the process. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 I don't know why people are being so weird on this thread. VP in PE - Growth
+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 Arizona. Kelley is cooked if you don’t get into IBW. meatrocket
+3 As someone else said, performance sucked and lack of infra could well be a lazy excuse for poor stock picking. MMPM
+3 Agree with @CRE. Pokemon Master
+3 He can probably get any potential girlfriend(s) internships too Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 . Intern in IB-M&A
+3 Allowing women into the workforce has been detrimental, nearly as harmful as the 19th Amendment, which set in motion many of the societal changes that pushed women out of the home and into professional roles. felixbernardht
+3 Lazy f**g*t zoomer Senior VP in RE - Comm
+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 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 If you can consistently make good picks (defendable and succinct) and are easy to work with/take direction well and eager to advance your skill then the sky is the limit. oldtimer88
+3 interned at one of the top BB HC groups this summer, focusing mainly on biotech / bioharma. the CVP skill gap is obscene. Teller in Non-profit
+3 Not because "finance is a drain", and candidly, in some of these positions, they will make tens if not hundreds of millions over their lifetimes, so I can't blame them and take my statement back a bit. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Thanks CNBC for your original take. surfnsand
+3 I posted the below on the HBS vs Wharton thread last year and it still applies. Since that post, I've interviewed with ~20 funds for full time VP roles including many of the best funds that were even hiring MBAs. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Why are people engaging with this obvious troll post? He so clearly is writing on here for sympathy, or start a Palestine-Israel debate on WSO. Intern in IB - Cov
+3 No, so you are correct, I meant to say it's stripped. You split with Fannie 50/50, though some allowances for smaller loan sizes and highly affordable, before the fee splitting comes in. VP in RE - Comm
+3 Hey! So couple things I'd want to consider: subscriptionfinance
+3 it won't be the first or last time. just know there will be good and bad times ahead. heck, i might be fired tomorrow. who knows? but today is still a good day. Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 Who gives a shit what you would do. What would the average person involved in hiring do? BuySideIntern
+3 Disgusting takes all around lmao takashimurkiami
+3 Congrats on Citi SF! Intern in IB - Cov
+3 I considered this and ultimately found very few people able to pull that move recently without US citizenship (e.g. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 Since you didn't mention it, I assume your GPA from HS sucks. You may want to look at going to community college in CA and doing the TAG program.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
