+3 If I had 4.5 at 22 I sure as fuck wouldn't be here. Not to say I would retire because that would be boring as fuck. But I'd just start taking moonshots nutmegger189
+3 In theory, those who say it’s not a big deal are right to some extent. People understand that layoffs happen, especially in this economy. Analyst 3+ in RE - Comm
+3 When you feel like shit working 18-hour days 7 days a week stuck to your chair with no rest no time to see friends and anxiety from always being on call and you stop caring to make plans, anything is worth a pay cut for sa Prospect in IB - Gen
+3 Plain text is obviously gonna be AI these days who wouldn’t take advantage of that. But the ideas and knowledge needed to make the pitch itself are still there Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+3 Slackers and internationals Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 Despite being extraordinarily basic compared to other explanations, this is really interesting perspective for me. It's perhaps in being so basic that's so intriguing. marketMergerMaddie
+3 There is nothing more american than immigrating to this country and working long hours for below-market wages to build a better life.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 honestly i had to double check with all the bs that's been going around ubs  biscuitsandgravery

+3 Emory BBA has a solid growing presence in NYC for IB. ryanyorkman
+3 Coming from a difficult financial background my parents never earned close to $50k a year and now working in pe after two years in IB, it has been insane to me to see how connected many people in this industry are, whether justforthispost
+3 Is this not a stealth layoff - aka UBS trying to get people to quit for free? Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+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 Of course it's not "fair" but it's extremely ahistorical to pretend this some unique 21st century affliction. Nouveau Richie
+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 As others have said nothing is worth almost dying over / completely destruction of health & wellbeing Associate 3 in PE - LBOs

+3 H1B doesn't matter for Canadians as they go through TN. Interns also go through J1  Intern in IB-M&A
+3 Seen someting similar in our SA and A recruiting. Impressive presentations prepared, formatted clean, lots of analysis but Q&A was showing that 80% did not understand what they have done there.  Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+3 you have it right.  yieldcurvemonkey
+3 Very common, and accurate.  Predev dollars are the riskiest, since there is no real underlying asset securing them. Ozymandia
+3 Attention to detail, not being insufferable, and knowing how/when to ask questions. The bar is very low, you’d be surprised SyntheticPIK
+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 Dan would’ve been like every other 1-man shop. Key man risk / inability to create continuity or enterprise value. Eventually closes or converts to FO. iMamba
+3 jackzebra

+3 Missing the Wes Edens point is the biggest whiff of this deck/pitch. JamieDimonkey
+3 This was an incredibly beautiful read, thanks! Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+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 RX consulting has a pretty diverse bunch of backgrounds, so I wouldn't necessarily say it's out of the question. Associate 1 in Consulting
+3 Happened to me - very similar setup. Had a rough go of things and never really recovered there. Had previously done well at good shops prior, and went to a different shop and have done well here. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 UBS loves internationals  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 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 Sorry bud you’re gonna do what Rich says and you’re gonna say thank you. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+3 Depends on comp product pricing, but if your customers are leaving/are on the fence about leaving your product you can’t expect someone to jack up pricing to cover up losses.. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+3 The “Schulich brand falling off” thing is mostly r/OntarioGrade12s noise. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr

+3 Good joke. I'm an ex-MF PE associate now at a UMM firm as a VP, and can say for sure the associate experience here is way better for learning than MF. VP in PE - LBOs
+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 Heard the same from friends in the group which is now struggling to hire talent at all levels and has seen massive attrition including productive directors and MDs tmtbankerNY
+3 I've been saying this for a while now. PE, and particularly REPE, is dying. Real estate is a mature industry and has fully recovered from the GFC and covid. BuySideIntern
+3 UBS? Zoo wee mama RestIess
+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 What in the seizure is this  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+3 Also, yes, read the Bible. Its influence on Western ethics, culture, and storytelling is arguably the most important of any book. monkeyvjit
+3 The country you're from is probably more racist towards people-not-like-you than 98% of white people in America  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+3 Associate 2 in IB - ECM
+3 remember that the profession you choose will also shape your character/interests/personality, etc. so if you go to tech, most likely you'll become a fucking dork  GS under Blankfein
+3 Definitely laz, especially if you want healthcare, consumer, energy. way better culture and exits oogway0408
+3 Try this first: https://www.reddit.com/r/DurhamUK/comments/1ca5kgk/college_rankings/ Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 Always remember if it's not in writing, it's worthless. Even if the PM seems ethical and like a good person, always ask for a written agreement, it's standard practice. AretePursuit
+3 This website and people in finance NEVER fail to amuse me. You did not just with a straight face type what are the points of hobbies and that they are "gay". Is this rage bait? Genuinely.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+3 I might be dated but was in LevFin during my analyst days few years ago (now in PE at a MF as a mid-level professional) CS wasn’t the only team that was not execution focused only. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+3 This is a lot of words to say "I don't know a single thing about Christianity and don't have a single compelling reason to read the Bible."  I would bet a large amount of money, the kind that would prevent you from ge Ozymandia
+3 Thanks for the added context, I see where your perspective is coming from and we are starting to get more aligned in POV. silverbackape2000
+3 Focus less on being perfect in models and more on being reliable in judgment. Learn how the partners think about risk, returns, and downside, not just how to build the deck. Hanlon

+3 Until that gets taken away  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+3 Edibles are just too strong in legalized places like NYC, and in general, they just last too long. Mastery 7 IB Shitter
+3 Look into UF MSF’s program. They place very well into IB with connections to EVR,CVP,Gugg,HL RX, and a lot more Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 I think the TikToker knows about this. The funny thing is, her real name isn't Jing she goes online claiming to be Jing when her name is actually something else. nachocheese
+3 I mean these professions are so different that WLB and comp should be one of the last things you consider. It’s like comparing becoming a dentist to working on Wall Street. Pokemon Master
+3 Echoing the comment on brokerage although I’m biased. What I’ve found (and same can be said for other parts of the industry) is that they’re less focused on CRE specific experience and more focused on the person. Holidayinn
+3 It made me meaner. Which, personally, I see as a huge failure. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+3 Anonymous Monkey: i wouldnt be in pe if i had been at wells haha KageSelly
+3 You articulated this very well. In that case, I couldn't agree more that an investing seat is unlikely to scratch that itch. There are investors and there are operators. therealgekko

+3 Is OP talking about doing distressed debt investing or RX advisory? VP in PE - LBOs
+3 reads like an ai slop grenade tbh, but here you go: ______ ctrl+1
+3 If your long-term goal is IB, I would not take a 12-month corporate M&A role unless it is (1) directly tied to an industry you want to specialize in, and (2) from a brand that materially strengthens your resume. Som1n
