Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+2 Sure I guess, but secondaries is probably the hottest space in PE right now and the XIG secondaries team is investing out of a larger fund than the latest vintage of GS buyout… kind of weird to get upset about stolen valor Assist. VP in PE - LBOs
+2 Seconding this. It's all about networking now before the formal in-person meeting. Groups are going to be evaluating interns way before that and you are doing a disservice if you do not network now. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 jewslayer1944I think any posh + white region will have what you're looking for AKA tall attractive rich guys, think like Dallas/Boston flakeyassfriends
+2 i'm here to collect poo from the wells fargo shills. VP in PE - LBOs
+2 Agreed. I have to hold Ai’s hand to do basic things a lot of the time. Things that are much easier than financial modeling and valuation. I think a lot of the people in these comments either: fuckshampoo21

+2 I was waiting for someone to make a post about this. The pictures are insane and look so dumb, but I might be egotistical enough that if someone wanted to interview me I might have trouble saying no  Zyns_And_Excel
+2 This is spot on. Perfectly embodies the type of personalities in PE too - insecure yet at the same time loves smelling their own shit Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+2 The billionaire founder of one of the big mutual fund shops came to my university once to give a talk. mullah123
+2 Don’t really get why they’re so “cooked” at their jobs. Yes the article and participating in it is corny. But they barely mention their employers nor say anything negative Associate 2 in PE - Other

+2 Tried emailing their VP. Got an auto reply that he is OOO on Spring Holiday from Feb 1-Apr 30. Maybe I can catch him before he goes on Summer Holiday on May 2nd lucien_de_montclair
+2 Unless you're extremely type A, ultra motivated ambtious "love working every waking hour" of the day person (which I assume you're not from the nature of the question) - which is usually what you need to long term success Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Oxcam>Lse>Imperial>Ucl>WW Gainone1572
+2 Maybe you could ask uconn to selectively recognise only a few classes if thats even a thing. Also it might be wise to consider an integrated masters program to push your graduation date by a bit. Prospect in IB-M&A

+2 Bumping good luck bro Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+2 Canadian working in the U.S. here. I hear your concern over visa sponsorship. I went through 4 super days (flew in) at MFs and nothing materialized. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+2 If half of them have cameras off or appear to be working on other stuff during your interview, they have deal flow and are busy and this is likely some BS that HR thought would be a good idea. Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+2 If your goal is to start a search fund with 1/2 partners and grow into LMM and then MM. MBA would be beneficial to help fundraise/find your partners.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 Lets say you go to a top 10 RG uni as a counterfactual. After the apprenticeship you go to a top 10 RG AND you have 1yr work experience of course it will improve chances. You should take any improvement you can get. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Blair has one of the tightest-knit junior banker cultures I’ve seen anywhere. Pretty much everyone is friends and many are close outside of work as well. A lot of it is trauma bonding though. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 The actual name doesn't really matter outside of if you want to jump right into large-scale projects (ie - to begin your own RE shop by developing 100+ unit apartment buildings, data centers, etc). jl12
+2 That guys bullshitting Know from some people on the team that it’s not sent out yet. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+2 There are not that many funds, apart from pods and mutual funds, that have real junior level roles. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+2 That’s not really fair. Every list can be gamed and every ranking list generally asks for payment to be included / promoted (like, every single one because the platform pushes distribution). Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Agree with the above. This is really an exercise  seeing how do you think and analyze businesses. SaaSChimp

+2 Zyn_God98new to US politics here, can you explain to me what the actual serious things in life are, Ozymandia
+2 You will only be tested on elementary basics. Justin Kivels basic pro forma, case study modeling course on Udemy will more than prepare you enough. [email protected]

+2 both are trash, go to TMU oldmanpushingcart
+2 LSE>Imperial in finance masters. LSE is tier 1 imperial is not. (except for STEM obviously) So go with LSE.  goriecs
+2 Junior analyst hiring will fall in my view. Many $1bn + SMs don’t even have many juniors and seldom hire. Managing Director in HF - Other
+2 I work at a family office that does #1 and it's amazing. They are prepared to put all the equity in themselves but will go out for friends and family money/co-invest if convenient. Makes life so much easier. jarstar1
+2 Yeah but while the first job work is all gopher shit you need people in those seats to learn and develop. AI can handle the work but AI ain’t the future of the company/industry. credev99
+2 Managing Director in HF - OtherCompletely disagree. As a vista LP… Mephistopheles
+2 Five years in, so not the longest tenure, but enough to notice things changing. As a woman I've got a slightly different angle here. PVV
+2 I loved the in-depth OT examples Intern in IB - Gen
+2 Isn’t a more important question what do you want to do with your life? I get you’re trying to get a sense of what other people done but you didn’t really say what makes you happy or what your want to be doing long term. apetrynamakeit
+2 Entrepreneurship is a significantly lower EV way to get rich finleybrudda
+2 on the graphics with all the firms and # of offers advertised those are accurate but they include non IBD roles for all the firms which make up a good portion of the bulge brackets, as well as Hong Kong offers and other AP chardwjh
+2 no ties, maybe u can wear a tie the first day until someone tells you to take it off or you will look like a corn. Incoming Analyst in S&T - Equities
+2 If you haven’t already told them you accepted the other offer I feel like there’s not much reason to afterwards? apetrynamakeit

+2 I have several friends work in MBB and friends at Google and I feel like the ones at Google work infinitely less. MBB has pretty brutal hours consistently vs. apetrynamakeit
+2 How is there enough work for analysts to be crunching BOV's, acqs, dispo's 16 hours a day. And why don't they just hire a couple more seats to spread the workload? Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+2 Those schools are all very good. Don't get so down on yourself and say "my admissions process was difficult", you can absolutely excel at any of these schools. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+2 Pro tip from someone who went to school here: newtown_creek_superfund
+2 Kind of a nutty question considering you don’t have either offer yet wacced out models

+2 Thank you so much for doing this. I’m very interested in the infrastructure and energy space and have recently started learning more about project finance as well. jubileecnext
+2 I get what you’re saying. NYC definitely feels different than it did 10–20 years ago, especially on the subway. Some of it is probably the after-effects of COVID, mental health issues, and less consistent policing. bobybryan
+2 congrats on WIC fund manager, go to queens please for the love of god  Intern in IB - Gen
+2 Didn't mean to sound cynical but for your plan a lot of things need to go right. I've been in the same position. Did a so called "target" master in UK, but had to return to my home country and settle for lower salaries. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+2 Happy to help. Not necessarily difficult, but will need persistence. Associate 1 in Private Credit
+2 Prestige doesn’t mean anything after your first 2 years of employment imo liquidiot
+2 Go deeper first. Every new asset means more fixed costs to clear before profitability, and your are likely just scratching the surface of what is possible in fixed income / futures. PM in HF - Other
+2 My first NYC apartment was a studio in FiDi near city hall park for $2.7k but my lease started in January. Awesome building with a lobby, gym, laundry on each floor, nice roof. Fast and Fiduciary
+2 This gotta be the dumbest fucking post. Like this is just inaccurate idk why people are upvoting this. apetrynamakeit
+2 There is no chance a draft happens in this day and age. starwars1234

+2 Northwestern has been cooked I think but someone fact check that Coastee
+2 They just changed it this year… it was quite unfortunate for those who signed under the impression that they would be paying the original 1.5x OT Intern in IB - Gen
+2 It’s your issue that you’re in the office till 2 every day. If the others are bad they’re not going to get staffed that heavily anyway  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+2 I mostly agree, but I’d frame it differently. Burke
