+2 Why are interns so bad at understanding how the world works? Imagine trusting the garbage data on TipRanks lol Benson Says
+2 Not many funds at NYC/SF that pay less than 300k at ~5bn fund size, the only exceptions I know of are HIG and AKKR. Even most of the non-NYC ones pay 300k. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 You make a lot of good points, and you are right on some counts. I thought I'd share why I declined the IB one and accepted this trade ops offer, ultimately. amazingpi
+2 Not sure how much visibility you have on Junior Comp but can confirm from multiple data points that Laz, EVR, Roths pay is on par with BBs and even less than BAML. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+2 Wear what you like. Unless you care about signalling or you a enthusiast then it doesn't really matter. anonf0fty
+2 accounting team? lol Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+2 6:30/7 so I can expense my dinner Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 In a similar boat. I spent a year in IB at a top group and then joined a small secondaries / co invest shop. Now want to go the HF route but unsure I would be able to get any looks. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+2 See my comment above about my background. Analyst 3+ in HF - Event
+2 Honestly don't see a huge pipeline difference. flipcup
+2 Is there a way to block somebody's posts? This is just getting ridiculous now, seeing these university prestige posts every other day from the same account BiggestMonkey21
+2 Theres always a guy with better experience, never bank on that. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 I had a friend in tech at DB. He ended up leaving to join the M&A group. A lot of people I know at db tech left for like Wells Fargo and PJT. It’s not the best shop for tech anymore. Intern in IB - Cov
+2 I feel you, sir. alice.in.financeland
+2 Interesting, I thought MDs made careers through focusing on the details? Figures below suggest you are wrong. Associate 1 in VC
+2 Funnier, they are probably only scalable in the markets mentioned before, those markets have oversupply, low absorption rates, now longer concessions, murkiness of OZ areas, and even rent depreciation. CPMA's15
+2 Here’s my bet: there will be several first movers that replace all humans with AI and something really bad will inevitably happen due to the AI’s decision making, which will lead governments to regulate the use of AI (e.g. monkeyvjit
+2 I started as a long-only HY/LL performing credit analyst covering specific sectors. My day to day was largely focused on new issue with some exposure to secondary opportunities (primarily names trading in the mid-90s). Analyst 3+ in HF - Event
+2 Clarion know what they are doing they are not dumb. They will probably make out better from insurance.  pere797
+2 They are both great firms and well set up in Europe but the difference in feel is huge. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+2 I think we’re ignoring the “agentic” part of AI, that is setting up agents that will literally do that work without a human in the loop (and faster/better over time). The innovations you named increased productivity. monkeyvjit
+2 MM $2-4B East Coast non NYC Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 Best bet, honestly, with having no exposure to other structures, I'd go to any GSE lender that has other products, like IB side or balance sheet that focus on MF but also do other classes. CPMA's15
+2 People are waking up the fact that a corrupted capitalism compounds into neo-feudalism. 80s and 000s greed / financial engineering with no consequences. 90s, cloud, and now AI tech concentrated wealth creation. recoveringalc
+2 Yup, this is consistent with my experience as well. Lester Freamon
+2 Well no one cares Gainone1572
+2 You might have listed every group johnnypython

+2 WF is paradise Intern in IB - Gen
+2 I think both are possible but it is easier to an extent with the 4 year college because odds are they did at least some research and selection into you. The CC just accepted you regardless. Assistant in Legal
+2 I'm not sure I'd call him one of the largest developers in the country, but from the little anyone seems to know about him he's a super impressive guy. Ozymandia
+2 Don't wanna come off a chud to your peers? Go break a leg landing an offer at like Jane Street or Citadel / start a company that gets admitted into YC. honeyroastedcashew
+2 larry david: lottaGWs
+2 The obsession with this EB/BB stuff is so funny because one of my close family friends is a senior MD at a firm this forum considers a EB, and he had no idea what that term meant; instead just called the bank a boutique ba Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 All the real dollars are in the GP. I do have to say, if you last until 55 in PE you are pretty much guaranteed to be in the GP by then (or have launched your own fund). Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Why would you need to rank these two banks ? Both are great in EMEA, both are a great brand name, both pay well, and both are as prestigious as the other pitchdeck
+2   Didn’t realize we had a DB brand ambassador in here disliking all the DB comments lmao      honeychocolate1037
+2 1 thing: b school does not have a 300k opportunity cost attached to it. bud you literally could be working service work making minimum wage in this economy, like literally.  fuku
+2 Sure this is the same argument software bulls use (think software actually has a much stronger right to win than services given properitory data). Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 george osborne wasnt pulling any of the major deals anyways. evr is top 3 EB in UK and europe now. no debate. check the league tables Prospect in IB - Cov
+2 Dude ignore all of the advice to hop on meds, your body went into fight or flight mode. seekinthealpha1

+2 Interesting. Something like this happened to me (BB - think GS, MS, JPM - NOT UBS) once. fuckshampoo21
+2 Next week is probably as good a time as any given week before Labour Day, which is always pretty calm. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 UBS！We like to pitch Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 If this is not a troll post then wtf. How can you get into Stanford if you don’t see the clear answer here Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Bocconi is such a great target school. As someone at one of the largest bb in the world a lot of my colleagues are from there and it is looked at very highly. WSoMonkey93
+2 Job is very different at the junior and senior levels. Senior bankers are ultimately selling advisory service and the juniors are doing the background analysis behind the advisory service. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Yes indeed, I am in the multifamily development business.I am against immigration despite that it undoubtedly helps my business. My opposition is purely on political grounds. larry david
+2 There will be Nuremberg trials for all of this. Heads will roll. Blood bath. Average voters ought to be shunned from society. LMBurn
+2 When people say access to the GP they usually mean the latter (ie equity ownership in the GP entity). Everyone gets carry starting from VP on up. Partners just get more of it than the levels below them of course. kuf135
+2 Know that there was a SD very recently, so assuming you may not have received your desired outcome, I empathize with your frustration and bitterness. That said: Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 I would say on top of the traditional IB techs, have the capital structure down cold. Also understand what makes a good pc investment(the 3 c’s of credit, deal structure, covenants, etc.). bakeoffking
+2 Would they get rid of product groups all together and redistribute them into coverage groups as specialists? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 If there's any chance you work in the USA or Europe for a while, no fucking way you can argue against Dartmouth. The slight impact on "prestige" from Stanford to Dartmouth is nothing, especially at that price. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+2 Even better can just call everyone before the new hires really start Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 On 1-3 depends on whether the team was up and PM has rights to unpaid P&L (standard practice is have payout rights if fired, no rights if resigning - but there are exceptions). PM in HF - Other
+2 Going to try and help where I can as I have  experience with operating models in this space. Cannot speak for deal models in the same way. cfperson123
+2 This kind of total loss event makes you think about risk mitigation in general. janicebell
+2 That was my thinking about why it would be next week. Everyone WFH + no deal flow week = they can fire people without much retribution or people being mad. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Yes, certainly the land owners will have the ability to eat some of those savings. SwansonOrSamsonsite
+2 with your height I wouldn't even bother trying to get lean - girls won't care anyway. money is your way to pussy (and nothing's wrong with that - everybody should be playing their strengths). Kevin25
+2 Based on observations/anecdotes, and to repeat above, entry-level positions are BY FAR the most impacted.   asmith_1
+2 M&A market is back strong in 2026. GS crushing it with $1.3B fees, JPM & MS right behind. Elite boutiques (Evercore +116%, Centerview, PJT) printing money. janicebell
+2 long before? the US wasn't even a world power until after WWI. What could possibly have happened to cause the middle eastern countries to hate the US in that period? Corp_titan
+2 Why is the header “cash flow model” if you’re asking for a DCF model? palm_beach_ll
+2 I've tested chat, Claude, copilot side-by-side for various tasks - Claude is best (especially for modelling) but copilot has a use case for ppts and Microsoft native files. Investment Analyst in PE - Other
+2 Am a current An1 who's recruiting off-cycle for growth roles, so admittedly biased. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Adding onto the above, I really wish Dartmouth College would loosen ties with the cult that is Bridgewater Associates. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 It is considered a target uni. The targets in the UK are: LSE, Oxbridge, Imperial, UCL and Warwick (roughly in that order). I would say Warwick lags behind the others for non-econ/ maths courses. professional.form.filler
+2 I went from another similar ethnicity 5’8 185 to 150 using glp as well. I pigged out post SA senior year and it carried over my first analystyear before making a change this may. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+2 Wouldn't worry too much about RX consulting specific reads. You're on the right track with the books mentioned to get a feel of the industry (squeeze in Caesar's Palace in there, it's an easy / "fun" read). Destressed Debt
+2 Need to keep what I get this year in cash unfortunately. First of all a big chunk is deferred; what I do get immediately in cash the government takes almost half of immediately.  Balance.of.Payments
+2 Tangible Perks: None Intangible Perks: You can tell girls in the West Village you work in private equity at Blackstone. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+2 first rule of fundraising. take a 90% haircut to your initial estimate, so that $100m is more likely to be $10m. People who worked at TCI and started their own fund, had only $10m to start with. nope1789account
+2 Yea man congrats on UBS firemonkey67
+2 Thanks @Deal Team Six Th NoEquityResearch
+2 I didn’t say you were. I wouldn’t even view it as your super broad growth moniker thing. It’s literally… I will pay you to say I’m a top growth investor.  VP in PE - LBOs
+2 What's making you lean that way? Not that I disagree, I would probably do the same considering the placement + MBF being the flagship programme .By the way, did you apply to HEC?  Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 What happened to GIG, thought they carried the platform? Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 Intern in IB - CovWhens BNP coming out? Two croissants and a PSG jacket  high hopes
+2 I think the group just gets clowned on because their juniors and mid-level are a-holes and not very nice to their coverage peers, alongside their perceived lack of usefulness given a huge failure of UBS in M&A.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 . Mike Jordan
+2 To underscore points above: even if you are super-accomplished and super-ambitious and have absolutely killed it the past 2-3 years, and looking for that next step up at another firm, you need to realize you will be compet asmith_1
+2 Northeastern’s co-op program has done wonders for their placement into (mostly MM) IB and top-tier AM in Boston and NYC. If goal is NYC, go NE. rolo25

+2 Good on you for being self-aware. Business School in CorpStrat
+2 lol this is comically wrong 135 base vs 175 base to start is already a 40k bonus and no An3 is getting a beater bonus than an As1 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 You predicted it lmao Intern in PE - LBOs
+2 You might already know this…IG credit won’t pay well - you should pivot to something else high hopes
+2 Prepare as much as you can and find what is right for you. Some people will need 2 weeks, some will need 2 months. It doesn't mean one method is more optimal than the other, people are different. pitchdeck
+2 Are you stupid? You literally have a guy at an UMM firm commenting on on this post explaining it’s not. I’m at a MF and agree completely with what he’s saying. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 There this research group called Cordoba Research Group based in London that looks quite promising, would suggest maybe emailing them - seems to be growing quite fast in terms of corporate partnerships and research [email protected]
