+2 Ozymandia Whatever1984
+2 Really depends on the firm. I got a promotion to VP with no deal flow. Just depends on how much people like you and want to keep you / see potential in you. Speak w your boss. No one here can really tell you. pudding
+2 Obviously the US franchise is a lot stronger; have heard the London office is a bit sweaty with more pitching and covering the LMM-MM. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 The unfortunate reality is that for top American schools, family income plays a non-negligible role in international admissions. If you come from a higher income family, you might have a serious shot at the Ivy League. CuriousCalculator
+2 Just go for it you’re good bro. Better yet start your own fund. Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+2 Great approach to career management right there :/  chromium73
+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 Do you want to be underwriting deals or do you want to be executing business plans/leasing strategy/budgets/investor updates? palm_beach_ll
+2 Aging parents held me back as well. They are, basically, stealing from your life so that they can enjoy the end of theirs. Where does that leave you when you’re their age? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Not in NYC so not as relevant since all the numbers will be lower, but we're still in the same house we bought 6 years ago despite salary increases. HHI is $185k base, and mortgage is $1,389 at 2.6%. kiltedlowlander

+2 Rough idea is that the "ending multiple / starting multiple -1" is the implied delta in the markets estimate vs. consensus. In real life, premium/discount to peers is a more accurate measure of that. Associate 1 in ER
+2 It’s paradise Works at Apollo Global Management
+2 Lead recruiting for my target school at a BB: 3.5 is the cutoff for HR reasons, anything above 3.7 is considered great. After that you are solely evaluated on rest of resume + networking. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Happy to help. It sounds like you're getting an idea for what you want and don't want. Based on what I can tell, I would try for a distressed-for-control fund as it seems to meet your criteria almost to a T. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+2 No shot you're a real person.  CRE
+2 I think it depends whether you're more T or R, so to speak. Turnaround is a bit more chill because you have time to right the ship. Lester Freamon
+2 You should know the basic stats about the deal still, but no you don’t need to have owned the model. Just like how if you owned the model but don’t know anything about the business, that would get you SUPER dinged. asdf1248
+2 This seems to be a common misconception among bankers. BigLaw is not risk averse, and is especially layoff prone. Probably more so than banking. Associate 1 in IB-M&A

+2 Interesting - makes a lot of sense though, I’m sure PE involvement levels impact workloads quite a bit depending on how active they are in the portco doing the roll-ups. IAmAnMABanker
+2 If you limit leverage to 70% on a 5 or 7 year tier 2 deal, Fannie gives a delegated pricing break. Each tier (and term) has quoted credit fee ranges which are 40 wide and consist of the G&S fees. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+2 Haven't been good for awhile. They're in market with their latest fund and have heard they may have trouble even hitting half of their target fund size ($5bn, which they've hovered around for the last 7+ years. Moonshallow
+2 Well it’s going to happen if AI comes even close to the hype. Could lose 30-50% of random white collar jobs and maintain, or even increase, efficiency. Fjsjrjdns

+2 Sad to see. Took one troll post to really get the keyboards breaking. Why I don't really come back here much.  Rabbit

+2 Thanks for your reply. I now have the following questions. BOJvol118
+2  Visual appeal and attention to detail are important for two reasons - first, if you can’t get the small things right you won’t get the big things right and second, you want the audience focused on the substance not s Managing Director in IB-M&A
+2 The Maple Leafs of finance but if the Leafs never made the playoffs and kept getting worse every season. crazylifechoices
+2 Distressed, rates, securitized products, and FX. FX is super automated.  Stay away from credit outside of Distressed. Analyst 1 in S&T - FI

+2 If you are making $180k and are working so much that you're not able to spend it on dumb things like the clubs, then you should be able to invest a large portion of that. Senior VP in CorpDev
+2 I would also agree with taking this role, especially in this job market. Some thoughts below: Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+2 what was the interview process like for you? thank you dicky

+2 If the large state school is Berkeley, Michigan, UCLA, UVA, or UNC then the second option. If it’s the next tier of state schools (UT and some of the other ones) then they’re probably the same. Prospect in PE - Other
+2 Your best bet with the broker shops is to network rather than throwing your resume (which sounds like lacks in experience) at applications. Holidayinn
+2 Not an expert on US, but for FoF I would think the PE experience is a big plus or maybe even a prerequisite. 1M+ comp in a corporate seems ambitious. Rover-S
