+3 Resident Lehigh alumnus checking in. CSB (and IBE) are great programs. There’s also a much broader initiative among students/alumni to get kids into good seats these days. More clubs and pipelines than when I was there. VP in PE - LBOs
+3 No not really on par. It is still a semi target. More in the edhec/em group adrien3

+3 the biggest disparity between guys/girls has to be gugg ... some model tier dudes but mid girls Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr

+3 Pigeonholed, bad culture, work longer hours for same pay Intern in IB-M&A
+3 NahFAM69
+3 Isaiah, smh no one wants to read AI slop on these forums ky9xnsz
+3 I hope you have a big pay day but part of me is very skeptical because he is paying you well below street base comp and probably thinks he can get away with not paying you substantially more in total comp because 1) you’re Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+3 Switch GS and CVP, Dyal and Lazard, change order of small boutiques to Dyal > M. Klein > Ardea > Allen > Tidal > LionTree magictricks

+3 This promo became evident and more or less inevitable a year or two before I got it, so it wasn't totally out of the blue. But to your point- it completely changed where I thought my trajectory was heading. Corp_titan
+3 3.81 at a semi target, at an EB. Was told if you have below a 3.8 they’ll take you to the back and shoot you Intern in IB - Gen
+3 A shitload of people with perfect GCSE and A-Level scores apply to LSE every year, so having mediocre GCSEs -even tough having great A Levels- is the kind of differentiator they look and account for. Lorderic
+3 The "anti seed oil" movement is a fad pushed by "wellness" influences that lacks both scientific evidence or widespread appeal.  CRE
+3 Anonymous Monkey: Associate 1 in CorpStrat

+3 I think I'd rather work as a construction worker than ever be associated with any Canadian bank. Am at a large UMM, and we don't interview kids from any of the Canadian banks; all suck. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 I don't think they're "trying" to appear cool. They're stunted in their experiences during the time they were building up their companies and only got to have certain experiences relatively late. Raijin
+3 Run, Forrest! Run! Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+3 There are always firms that will recruit in the 6 months before the programs start including UMM/MF's for the following reasons: 1) they realized they need more headcount, 2) someone who got an offer reneged/no longer want Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+3 Would never want to say something's impossible, but assuming you mean RX IB at anything beyond LMM you are candidly in for an arduous, uphill battle. Principal in PE - LBOs
+3 You will see that the placement from Yale STats & DS is terrible. Not worth it unless you already have strong professional background. Did you get accepted from all those 4? qualea
+3 GUGG over BofA or Citi isn’t crazy. Nor is JEFF over Barclays. All pretty on par with each other Prospect in IB - Cov
+3 The Oakland A’s of finance crazylifechoices
+3 Happy to be helpful! So...I may be uniquely positioned to answer this. My answer would be, if you're good, very easy. pv01 gang
+3 Focus less on IB recruitment, more on school culture. Top LACs(Amherst and Williams mainly) along with Ivies will all give you a good enough pipeline that you will get a seat if you try. usernameladiesman217
+3 I have to say, currently in MF and Industrial, there is some growth potential in Chicago. Chicago pays relatively to most Mid Atlantic/ North East cities, aside from NYC. CPMA's15
+3 HL is Paradis Intern in IB - CB
+3 I interviewed for their fundamental research analyst internship and didn't pass the first-round behavioral, so take this with a grain of salt.  Prospect in HF - Macro
+3 MM HF QR here. robkim

+3 Tokat, Quattrone, Moelis, Navid, Naveen Nataraj, Michael grimes come to mind Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+3 holy shit solomon partners is paradise Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+3 NAYA is the EB of slop bowls S+ tier Intern in IB - CB
+3 Generally no. I think having one really strong pitch, and maybe a backup, is plenty for just starting out. excelmonkey5410
+3 That's good colour but 450-750k is different than 200k to 350k.   C.R.E. Shervin
+3 Who the fuck is recommending to reneg? MOE/LAZ/PJT are roughly the same, they're all great shops and you'd be an idiot to reneg on that type of offer.  Intern in IB - Restr
+3 Analyst 2 in IB - GenLazard sucks in the US lmao, beneath PJT, EVR, CVP and even MOE Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+3 It’s an interesting space since there are so many levels to it. It’s purely benchmark investing, so you’re trying to outperform an index with similar exposures. big_dawg
+3 Congrats on Greenhill Mizuho! wannabe-banker
+3 some good feedback above. would also echo that the big 4 has a good presence there on the TAS side but again would view it as a stepping stone to london which doesnt seem like a long-term goal of yours. Director in S&T - Other
+3 Why do this if it doesn’t make you faster or smarter. These are extra unnecessary steps trying to coddle the LLM into not being a dumbass. Works at Goldman Sachs
+3 If you add in the fact that most European targets have summer breaks with mandatory internships and most people at targets do a gap year between bachelor and master it makes sense. afdhfg
+3 asmith_1
+3 I won’t be happy pleasant till I can retire from this god forsaken industry. Smoke Frog
+3 Since you said you wanted to be in Chicago post-grad, and your HS grades are not so good, we'll assume the Chicago targets (northwestern, uchicago, and, perhaps to some extent, UIUC) are out of the question. equitymuncher
+3 Yep, the Dublin Big4 to London IB must be significantly underreported in net migration figures. Met about 5m Irish bankers (all from Trinity College and the same suburbs of Dublin) in London, the Irish mafia is real. unders
