+2 Congrats on UBS! NBTtmoon
+2 Morgan Stanley lowkey might actually be having a moment again. Feels like the bank spent a few years in the post-pandemic haze while everyone online either glazed EBs or acted like JPM/GS were the only firms that existed. 99twotwo1
+2 Blair without a doubt Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Compared to their MiM yes. The cohort is much lower quality in the essec mif so the outcomes are evidently mediocre... For Paris it can be okay but for London definitely not.  thib56

+2 I see what you mean in your first two points, and while I see validity in the latter half of these first two points that you make, I think it isn't a concern, and these rising requirements will eventually normalize. invessttr
+2 Well AM is boots on the ground and in the weeds. It's exactly how you learn to think like a good owner, which is great. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+2 Hec is an easy choice. It's a cohort of like 50 top tier students. LBS is closer to 300 now so the outcomes are a bit mixed. Brag680

+2 Bain cap, Advent, TA, Berkshire, Charlesbank, THL, Great Hill, Cove Hill, Summit, Parthenon, Audax, Abry, Harbourvest, Baypine… just to name a few. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 UBS cares more about what makes them money, weath management. So they reallocate resources from IB to WM. CS merger was absolute failure, every rainmaker MD left to go to other banks. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Best there is in restaurant PE. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+2 What I take away from your question is you believe that getting rich is predicated on being smart and I think that's wrong. Wish_I_HadTrustFund

+2 First off, congrats on the internship. Landing at a shop like TCR or Wood Partners in this environment is a massive win. Learn everything you can. MitchtheREguy
+2 That is true, perspective is everything. If I think that I am the shit then I will be the shit vs me thinking thinking that I am a chud and so I will be a chud.  younggoodmanbrown
+2 Recruit out. I would evaluate this on when your firm last raised a fund, history of promoting associates, and how large the associate classes are. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 WSO really loves zombie funds. I guess it makes sense because their juniors do not have any capital to deploy so can spend their time writing positive stories about their funds.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Did not realize they exited so well to GTCR, will bump up Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Guys what are we doing here johnnypython

+2 Intern in IB - Cov
+2 A lot of them did not go to good undergraduate schools and did not have desirable careers pre-MBA. The best MBA associates who were not bankers often were big four accountants or consultants. maestro_
+2 T20 btw Intern in IB - Cov
+2 Removing DEI from board selection is a bold step. I wonder if this reflects a change in internal strategy or is more about optics and regulatory considerations. huanlamunov
+2 Great to see you have the humility and done some self reflection - that’s not always present in candidates. Certainly something I look for when hiring. MultifamilyGuy
+2 Networking post-grad falls into two camps. 1) networking with people in your firm (peers, seniors, etc.) through deals or general exposure to one another  PEPrincess

+2 As anyone in platform HF will tell you -- whatever is possible is completely depedent on your PM and your relationship with him/her. I've seen PMs at both ends of the spectrum. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+2 I think why comparisons are hard is because in MBB, you don’t get assigned to a “group” like PE due diligence in the same way you are assigned a group in IB. PEPrincess
+2 PPE is a known quantity major at Penn, so I would imagine a Brown version would be recognized along the same lines. You shouldn’t have any issues there. CRE
+2 Personally, I've seen more full discretion to semi-discretion/systematic, than full systematic to it.  dcccc
+2 Depends, RX or M&A? RX, it's EVR by a country mile, M&A, it depends on the type of experience you're looking for and what you want out of banking. Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 Yup definitely agree. Seemed rock solid at the time. burningboat
+2 Generally is there one or multiple wave for these S&T programs? Also do yall typically get rejection emails or just ghosted? Maximizing Shareholder Value
+2 You genuinely sound like a Linkedin NPC wuandale33
+2 I rly hope it works out for you man that'd be such an inspiration, makes me really think about how privileged I am WinterTheatre
+2 Thanks for this response. To be honest, I didn't feel deflated as I'm always eager for constructive criticism and it's helpful to get outside opinions considering I'm an external candidate. EPchange
+2 The GP stake is only very valuable if you bought it before the secondaries investors came in. And most large funds have one now. VP in PE - LBOs
+2 Rabobank is big on lions rooseveltfan

+2 I have no idea but I got rammed by an 8' monster yday Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+2 What’s the source? Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Hasn't this been asked.... 1,000,000x on WSO previously? Is your search bar broken buddy? VP in PE - LBOs
+2 ill add as I went to Schack. You can work while attending the program. I would say do FT for the first year until you can find an internship/full time position. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+2 No one still talks about Coalesce being hot though. They are bleeding senior folk and have not much to show for their fund yet. It just got hyped up early because Stephanie was a great investor at WP Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Did my analyst years at MS HC SF. Enjoyed my time and look back fondly. asdf1248
+2 It’s not saving a week, it’s saving ~4-6 weeks, which is a massive difference. Another point is BSL  can’t do unitranche - BSL is willing to take the same amount of risk but not in one tranche. deas7
+2 Wouldn’t be surprised if UBS evntually emoves to a one person deal team to max revenue per head. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+2 I hate the so-busy-right-now BS. It's like, hey, I work closely with this person or that person, I know they don't have jack shit going on, but when talking to others in the industry, they say they're swamped. Principal in RE - Comm
+2 Just make sure to get into PBL and IIG, according to my cousin those place lights out year in year out NS_Loves_Peen
+2 Out of curiosity, how can you possibly be pulling 90+ hours a week on no deals? are you just consistently on 2+ burner pitches that you never win? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
