+11 If you give up and start moping about how sorry you feel for yourself, then you’re totally fucked and no one can help you. Partner in RE - Comm
+11 You’re not wrong, there is definitely something changing, but it’s not as simple as “AI = less work.” Kevin W.
+11 you're just a clown who probably gets off of berating people or blaming them for decisions you are indirectly responsible for... given your responses here.. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+11 where are those US > EU career guys to shed some perspective on this?? GS under Blankfein
+11 I actually lateralled after half a year of my analyst stint, rather than during my SA. I'm assuming you're asking about how to FT recruit during your SA experience. johnb2001
+11 Congrats on UBS Sharky286
+11 UBS over WF is laughable. Cements the idea that “prestige” is a lagging indicator and shouldn’t be used for anything. randommonkey3843
+11 How did UBS manage to move up in the rankings  Prospect in IB - Cov
+11 This forum skews towards finance hardos who disproportionately gravitate towards value/turnaround investing so you hear the most about those funds (KPS mentioned every time, etc.)  However, the landscape of good indus VP in PE - LBOs
+11 Dunking and hate posting on UBS in anonymous forums Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+11 You could just go. This is the irony of short staff situations. It highly restricts resources, makes it almost impossible to actually fire anyone, and cuts into time resources to hire new staff.  PEarbitrage
+11 No you're just getting boned by greedy boomers dude Associate 1 in PE - Other
+11 Entirely depends on who you work for, who your client is, and who your engaged buyers are on a mandate. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+11 UBS is losermaxxing Prospect in IB - Gen
+11 As someone who made the pivot from PE to VC in the past year, so far based on my personal experience I can attest to most of the pros that you’ve stated, with a couple of caveats: Associate 3 in VC
+11 Wait till Rachel from accounts introduces a bank levy  It's fine, you can subsidize Richard and Julie's (72, 75yo, Wiltshire) P&O cruise this winter though! Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+11 Make riders great again Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+11 Bro is rage baiting don’t worry about him and his upcoming divorce Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+11 I am talking about M&A deals or maybe lead ECM roles where you contribute to the S-1. FIG just does the same internal credit memos as "deals" that they only win because of balance sheet and a strong LevFin franchise. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+11 How none of you have clocked the obvious fact that this is AI generated is beyond. No normal person talks or types in such a refined yet deeply uncanny and meandering manner titoofosu
+11 Yes agree on that. Also way too sweaty for level of exits / pay, not worth it. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+11 Glad this forum realized that there is no such thing as Non-DEI women. Principal in IB-M&A
+11 I read this as Why do Jefferies bankers give STDs? That is also a question rooted in fact  Managing Director in IB-M&A
+11 GS having almost 2x lead over JPM and MS is just nuts. Best IB platform and it is not even close Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+11 This post is so weird and stalkerish and it should honestly be taken down. You are acting like this 20 year old kid is now next in line to be CEO after Solomon. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+11 It’s a very different job. Some people struggle in IB because you’re routinely producing work no one actually understands or can explain - it’s just mindless formatting and refreshing of back ups. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+11 All very true. The fee structure of buy-side finance in particular though creates an incentive for political games far beyond what I think any other industry experiences (except perhaps literal political office). PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+11 kvaradona PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+11 Largest quotas / streams are reserved for gender based diversity with white women being prime beneficiaries. Unfortunately, they are still ongoing.  VP in IB - Cov
+11 I'm in exactly the same boat as you, and wanted to offer some perspective based on my own evaluation of the MBA.  Associate 3 in CorpStrat
+11 Look, reading is great.  You could be reading Dr Seuss and I'd applaud that. Ozymandia
+11 Someone needs to audit the IBs books and look at who deciding on bonus structures MDs in the “in” crowd enriching themselves Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+11 Thought I would give the semi target co-op perspective on this as someone who was fortunate enough to successfully recruit: Intern in IB - Cov
+11 We have to be clear on what “training” technically means. Are investment bankers currently on the desk “training” AI to do junior banking tasks? No. Works at Goldman Sachs
+11 I read an interesting article that seems adjacent to this problem. Mike_wacczowski76
+11 Because of how few banking spots there are in Canada and how much harder it is for immigrants to get those spots (vs the US where they don't give af about anything other than whether you can make the bank money), there are Director in IB - Gen
+11 buy a small business and go bankrupt CEO in PE - LBOs
+11 Out of genuine curiosity, what makes her just a diversity hire in your eyes? Is it just that she’s a black woman? Faustian
+11 I believe that a 25 y/o could bring in multi-million $ fee stream in the SMB space, if you got the hustle. Being an amazing salesman is not necessarily a skill predicated on decades of technical experience. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+11 You’re comparing apples to oranges… how are extreme examples of not being an NBA player due to your legs or an orthopedic surgeon due to not having hands (??) comparable here to someone who simply asked to be sat 10 feet a Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+11 Not necessarily (I'm 12 years in). A bank with a brand name also carries a lot more pressure to win deals and your ability to be seen as a truly outstanding banker is much harder. Count WACCula

+11 Associate 1 in RE - Comm IsItREPE
+11 5 year outlook is pretty bleak, likely will look something like this: 2027 - Fire current IB leadership, Barclays group heads etc Associate Director in IB-M&A
+11 Can't be happy for someone who's clearly motivated? Lame ahh person  yopierre
+11 Think of recruiting in this industry as "these employers set aside X seats from Y target schools." Target schools won't be 100% of a hiring class, but it will be majority and the path of least resistance.Dartmouth is consi PE-biz-dev
+11 I mean honestly the UBS Americas is failing but PWM and bank as a whole is doing fine  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+11 No. Your mom keeps me busy. Quant in HF - Other

+11 Juniors bonuses aren’t the only thing getting f-ed this year, their wives might get f-ed too Prospect in IB - Cov
+11 Jesus Christ STOP USING CHAT GPTTTTTTTT. I don’t wanna turn into a boomer but just write your question like a normal human instead of running every little thought into the AI machine to make sure it sounds okay. liquidiot
+11 Literally everyone should be documenting via emails to themselves/others on the network and printing them out. Always be covering your ass. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+11 15 years on the buy-side, former 5-Star Morningstar rated PM here and have heard 1,000+ pitches. The first answer is right that the type of person matters. stockpitchlab
+11 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+11 Can't answer 2 as not in L/S equities so have never thought of the words gross or net. PM in HF - Macro

+11 Reject UBS, you won’t regret it Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+11 The  pros for UBS are slightly better exit opps and slightly better brand (they’re known as a BB, wells is not), but the gap is narrowing for both. RBOB_squarepants
+11 Unfortunately he lost the primary, but boy did he win. This election showed the absolute primacy that a foreign nation has over U.S. seekinthealpha1
+11 Porn actor. Can’t deploy capital. Time to deploy the hog.  IsItREPE
+11 Threads like this always crack me up. Half the definitions of “cultured” in here just sound like code for “grew up rich.” TLBandChill

+11 I feel like I’m getting more and more depressed everyday. I just don’t care anymore about this job. VIX_Monkey
+11 I’ve been in several corporate environments and UBS is by far the worst managed of them all Director in IB - ECM
+11 Northwestern by far. You’re gonna get a lot of Michigan students glazing in this thread but a private t10 school is always better than a top state school Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+11 The best part about the transition, in my opinion, is being able to deploy my money and get direct feedback from the market as I develop as an investment professional. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+11 Totally fair to prioritize M&A, and that’s why it’s weighted about 2x ECM in the model, so I wouldn't call this "ECM Heavy" unless a lot of others disagree. The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
+11 As a macro investor, I developed market wisdom through study and practice. Burke
+11 The Jews are the only socioeconomically privileged group that acts with group solidarity to promote their interests. It is unacceptable to even point out that you are not allowed to point out this privilege. Works at Citadel Investment Group
+11 names that aren’t too weird interesting way to say "no Indian on my floor" lmao Partner in PE - LBOs
+11 this comment is so out of touch. baka

+11 WF is the next big thing confirmed  information2
+11 Yeah it's great someone can be roofied, raped, racially attacked and have their family threatened to be deported by ICE!  Don't expect anyone to believe you when the same happens to you. Prospect in IB - Gen
+11 sir the zombie fund chain is down the hall and to the right Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+11 Writing was on the wall for months at this point.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+11 Try to get the answer right Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+11 Software investor (actively fleeing after spending too much time on AI not to). I disagree with 2/3 of your position.  VP in PE - LBOs
+11 The eternal boomer Prospect in IB-M&A
+11 very gay but would follow his advice Intern in IB - Cov
+11 It depends what you define as value investing — buffet talks abt his confusion in the terms value vs growth investing as growth is one of the many factors to be considered in value investing. Associate 2 in ER
+11 Two things can be true at once: 1) OP is a disgruntled ex employee  2) UBS is a horrible place to work and is bleeding market share  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+11 One of my interviewers asked me whether DTLs are created in an asset or 338 transaction.... luckily had actually came across it before but think it's absurd Intern in IB-M&A
+11 I think stability criminally undervalued. If you think of net worth as "equity" and annual comp as "return", then for the overwhelming majority of people at majority of funds, the "sharpe" of HF comp is horrendous. WBuffet-100FactorTilt
+11 Millennial here who hit the desk in the early/mid 2010s. Only had time to read the intro paragraph for now, but it was spot-on. VP in PE - LBOs
