Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+3 How did your dad take it when you came out to him? IsItREPE
+3 Treating your body like a human garbage disposal doesn’t last forever. Make better health decisions earlier in life. The majority of friends you make in life will not be there for the long-term. Pokemon Master
+3 Yes, we all know the boomers are brainwashed retards who got us into this mess and sold out our country to globalists. Not a new take. fucktwitter
+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 I am at a distressed / event-driven HF, so this is just what I know through my (small) network at merger arbs. Research Analyst in HF - RelVal
+3 What type of idiot can't tell he knew what that is and purposely said he didn't. You lack tact. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+3 Just do target EPS x target P/E multiple.  fragestellung
+3 Not getting a RO was the best thing that happened to me in my career - went to a much better platform and location. You can do it!  Prospect in IB - Gen
+3 The fact that a relatively small fund like that is around after 10 years is good. However, the fact it hasn't scaled past that size after so many years is worth looking into. MMPM
+3 You won’t love hearing it - but I know bunch who made move to corp dev (for large publics) in particular. 2 came back to banking, 3rd trying to. Teller in IB - Cov
+3 Just wanna give my take, and I'm going to go against the grain here so feel free to disagree / disgregard. I'd argue that people underestimate how hard it is to get into a good RX consulting firm nowadays. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 We should stop ranking the same banks/schools whatever 50 times a week. The average quality of posts would improve. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+3 I am in LMM consumer where moats are never too strong or high quality because otherwise the businesses would be bigger with better margins. m_1
+3 investmenttbankingPlenty of ex college athletes/ healthy types just don't drink anymore  readthe10k
+3 Do we really think migrants in NYC aren’t a net drain on taxpayer resources? They don’t pay taxes for Christs sake  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 For IB recruiting i would say Wharton, Columbia, NYU and Cornell Johnson are the most represented. eskibar
+3 if you play megaknight, gonna blacklist you ilikeplayingpiano
+3 WF has a Potluck Casserole Tote Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+3 Plus WF won't even touch the some of the tertiary, 5-unit multi shit JPM is doing There's a reason WF is continuously the top CRE lender across the board Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+3 I was in a similar IB group and exited to corp dev at a biopharma, would say it’s probably the most feasible option besides PE.  Some other options that come to mind: anatomy.stat-1r
+3 Ngl and idc about monkey shit but the groups reputation has gone down substantially. What used to be an undisputed top 3 group on Wall Street is now being pushed away for most top EB M&A, RX, and classics groups. Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+3 Genuinely. VP in Private Credit
+3 i don't understand what you're asking? you're effectively asking for the right tail outcome in both scenarios to make your decision... Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+3 Think Summer Analyst classes across the street were quite large as HR would have set the headcount target in late 2024 or early 2025 (pre-tariffs), when future outlook was generally very positive for IB. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 On top of the trends already listed two I’ve seen: olly_tree
+3 They’re trying to rebuild but comp is one of the worst i’ve heard. probably better options out there exotic_caramel
+3 sounds like you need a distressed debt trading desk in your life Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+3 Dude… what??? Idk how you can point to a $4b and $8b market cap biz as going to feel pain first but that’s okay because PE doesn’t buy point solutions… VP in PE - LBOs
+3 Ok intern 👍 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Associate 2 in PE - LBOs Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 Dude if it’s a real dream, I’d do it. LuneMaster
+3 At my fund, there is a so called deal attribution record aka DAR where they write down all the team members and what they contributed. It's split into sourcing, conversion, execution, portfolio and exit (iirc). VP in PE - LBOs
+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 Happy Labor Day to you as well. This is great advice and I appreciate the thoughtful response. Niche indeed but that may be what it takes. Identifying the five year horizon as you described may be the task at hand. pajero
+3 If you’re Canadian, your best shot at IB is GMAT > T15 > IB associate Why would you want to work long hours making cents on the dollar alongside DEI beckies that are only there to buy items from sephora zeroto100nrq
+3 Wrong again, moron. One shot to the windshield, in the very righthand side, and the rest in the window. This photo alone shows how bullshit the officer's (and the government's) story is. CRE
+3 GS TMT, and it is not that close to be honest (PJT RSSG and Q are the only ones in the same tier) Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 If I was an LP, I would shut this down immediately. Would you want to invest your own money in a fund with this model?  Principal in PE - LBOs
+3 You forgot the PE to HF equivalent here, which is Delta to CIA Special Activities Center. Less common but just as prestigious and the "next step" from Tier 1 SMU. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 I’ve worked in CRE recruiting (including some exposure to OKC and similar secondary markets), and, based on both experience and industry data, target vs. browncre.andrew
+3 yeah bro you gotta think about the fucking cocktail party in Samford when you're 40 years old. Are you being serious?   Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 I'm into watches, and I would recommend waiting to splurge on something nicer once you secure an FT offer.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+3 To be honest, it has been so far a horrible decision from both a career and Lifestyle perspective. 19041904
+3 MS, JPM and BofA Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+3 No worries at all. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 This is a terrible mindset and how you get hated on in the workplace and in life. You just weren’t good enough to get into an Ivy and that’s completely fine. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+3 afdhfgThis guy maths! I'm basically Aristotle TheFunkyMunky
+3 I use Netscape and Microsoft Office suite, the F1 button has an integrated customer support feature sirocco2026
+3 Just wanted to say Id echo everything the IB Assoc mentioned.  Associate 3 in CorpDev
+3 You’d be surprised but some of my veteran colleagues are far more “civilized” and smarter than many Ivy grads.  8'Banana_Stacker'2
+3 Have you actually made it clear to the lender that this is a problem? Lenders are (mostly) commoditized and rely almost entirely on relationship-based lending to ensure that they're seeing your deals. SaaSChimp
+3 Are your actual moving expenses going to be more than $10k or are you trying to make money off of it?  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 I certainly get what you're saying but then why is the UK shrinking as a global financial hub while Dubai has risen? Southern_cre
+3 I was wondering how you made so little as a consultant, then I got to the part about how you’re on date 2 and overthinking the fuck out of this. acardboardmonkey
+3 Stay strong brother many (myself in cluded) are in the same boat. I've been runner up 5 or so times in the past year and it hurts every time. Thought i would get desensitized to it but hasn't been the case. vegabroom
+3 Yes alumni help students. You network like crazy, every day and you step out of class to take calls if you're serious. You use the Vanderbilt name to get people to pick up the phone. Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+3 Always curious on these businesses. nutmegger189
+3 I was lucky enough to go to an Ivy on a full ride since I was poor but will comment two things: Associate 1 in PE - Other
+3 Did you enjoy investing and figuring out the market or did you enjoy your names doing well? Would re-think the rationale re:pivoting career path because your sector isn't hot today. Analyst 2 in ER
+3 I think people massively underestimate the operator part of this equation. On paper it sounds amazing: 10% down, buy a boring cash-flow business, grow it, sell later. khan.mmua
+3 man you post the most homo shit for sure you work in middle office or tech sales Capital of Structure
+3 Probably not. But in a few years I'll be a senior analyst so that should help therealgekko
+3 Congrats on UBS 714_Lemmon_Legend
+3 Instead of telling people that you're in IB/PE/HF , say that you're an amazon warehouse worker and report the results to us. I think you'll quickly recognize how much prestige the job/industry still holds.  Amazon Prime
+3 When salaries went up in 2020-2021, bonus as a % of base went down with it. I know a director who made $400k as an AS2 in 2019 at a top BB. As AS1 he cleared more than $300k. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Full time BB position 100%. I’m at one now as a senior associate doing balance sheet lending and I’ve seen many analysts leave for the buyside throughout the years. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+3 Definitely laz, especially if you want healthcare, consumer, energy. way better culture and exits oogway0408
+3 Historically credit - Arini, Attestor, Angelo Gordon, Cheyne, SilverPoint, Diameter, Tresidor, Sona, Marathon, King Street, DK More activist - Elliott, TCI MM - Citadel, BAM,... bananamonkey003
+3 hmm, BIWS isn't inherently wrong but the terminology is a bit sloppy. equitymuncher
+3 If your goal is IB placement, I’d separate “overall prestige” from “actual placement into your target market.” Rhonda.mangaroo
+3 comparison is the thief of joy my friend.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+3 I wouldn’t overthink the age or years of experience. Rhonda.mangaroo
+3 stop shilling your shit scam website. Literally known to be a scam Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 at EVR the India team is called EVS and similarly they often returned trash. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+3 pretty much agree with what he said above but uva is imo 50/50 (how much you like campus/the vibe in general). Prospect in IB-M&A
+3 "school clubs in FIG" is also known as "blind leading the blind". Just read up, just the way they did and it should be fine. It's really not that tough Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+3 Lol they are known to have one of the worst culture evergrande
+3 One thing that was also novel back when I was covering a global sector in ER was sourcing numbers from local publications in different languages. Determined
+3 Got a completely random group I didn't talk to so idk Prospect in IB - Gen
+3 The ONLY (potential) way to avoid being “docked” is through some form of positive relationship or good standing with someone on the team who may have influence—assuming, of course, that you’ve developed a genuine networkin CapTableTriage
+3 Don't lateral into most UBS groups. M&A, FIG, M&T, run. No exits, toxic culture, nonexistent WLB. LevFin works if you want private credit. Industrials has decent PE exits. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 Oh c’mon man, you are so full of shit. The claim that “slaves built this country” is a significant exaggeration.  Slavery was economically important in the antebellum south, especially for agriculture. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+3 One of the kids I'm thinking of is a White kid from the suburbs. The streets don't discriminate, they'll take anyone. Miracle1111
+3 I think this guy is in front office. REDebt
+3 As others have mentioned, I think the GS/Barclays model of having M&A integrated, and only specialization at the MD level is a far better model for junior / mid-level development Director in IB - Cov
+3 You're welcome, I hope things turn around for you soon. I know how tough and demoralizing being in a bad group can be, you start to no longer believe in yourself but I genuinely do. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+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 Where you sarcastic when you said the age of consent should be 14? LockedIn Bezos
+3 As someone who is ex-GS and knows multiple people there, I can tell you for a fact that fewer return offers were only given because quality was worse. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+3 One deal the investment team took max leverage after buying into an industry doing ATH performance during COVID. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 It’s like picking between bad and worse Intern in IB - CB
+3 Del DelusionalDave
+3 Captain hindsight saw it all coming. Typical HF VP in PE - LBOs
+3 I don’t have direct experience but I have been around industry for a while. Worked for EBs and a random local LMM in the NYC area that may be comparable to like a regional boutique.  Hags28
+3 I dunno man, tough one. Have you tried asking Grok? PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+3 Third option nobody's considering: build the tool that automates what the analyst does so the MD doesn't need to hire one. 2coolfinancebro
+3 the VIC experiment failed for a structural reason, not a prompting one. you gave it a sample selected on outcome and asked it to explain the outcome. 2coolfinancebro
+3 I hear you. Just trying to chime in with some thoughts from an Outsider perspective having read the above thread and hopefully can help push the ball forward. Hags28
