+2 This is not very applicable to all banks, I’m speaking from a London point of view here: Intern in IB-M&A

+2 WorstOfBothWorlds TechBanking
+2 Associate 2 in RE - CommMultifamilyGuy MultifamilyGuy
+2 In consulting and I would say for our lead partner in our practice, yes - I feel consulting likely killed his personality in some ways. Business School in CorpStrat
+2 The Trump administration listed Anthropic as a supply chain risk (typically reserved for companies in China, Russia, etc. Soros_
+2 It only takes 6 months of midtown happy hour to realize that Becky's reaction to hearing you're an Investment Banker at Lazard vs BMO is the same, and only another 6 months to realize that the incremental 30 hours/week isn rolo25
+2 In 2 years, gained like 20 pounds of fat and lost ~10% of my muscle (would’ve been worse had I not bought adjustable dumbbell set for home). Intern in IB - Gen
+2 No clue about the specifics as I do not have UT Austin ball knowledge, but I had a similar experience in college.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+2 1998... fingereater505
+2 They want a model similar to England. A constitutional monarchy. They love the Shah as a symbol, but he's not cold hearted or as strong as his father. Meaning, he's not willing to kill his opponents. Matchabee
+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 I think my school has you beat Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 The point about LLMs not reasoning is technically correct but misses the practical point. It doesn't matter whether Claude "truly reasons" in some philosophical sense. Dr.Leigh
+2 Like I said, as an Asian myself and a picky eater, Asian food scene in Paris is terrible compared to London. I’m saying this, like I said, as I’ve ventured out to all areas that you have listed so far. brtfedd1312

+2 I've thought a lot about this and the problem really has to do with sequencing of returns. Lester Freamon
+2 You're not at all socially broken. Your emotions are typical.  You put too much pressure on yourself to sound impressive, which makes coffee conversations uncomfortable. dollyartasia
+2 Let's take law for example or medicine. Why are those skills any more "true" or real than the ones learned in IB? nutmegger189
+2 Not a problem, you'll always be able to move back to Melbourne after starting in Sydney if you do well. VP in PE - LBOs
+2 Think about it You are spending your days with failed companies. People losing their money, losing their jobs, courts, litigation, people screaming on calls with lawyers  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 deloitte has a PF advisory team i think ILOVEBANANAS123
+2 Buddy BofA’s stock is completely flat since 2008… Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Your alma mater, and the network you gain from it, stay with you for your entire life. I get wanting to be fiscally responsible but if you target high paying professions, $500k really isn’t that much money. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+2 “Let's take law for example or medicine. Why are those skills any more "true" or real than the ones learned in IB?” arossi11637
+2 Associate at an EB in Houston. Going to be blunt…I don’t think we’ve ever given an interview to anyone from UTD, let alone an offer. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Same. Not a chance I would trust a 24 year old associate with running docs, doing real biz dev, managing lenders, or driving R&W. Principal in PE - LBOs
+2 Looking forward to some deal in the near future when the nontechnical boomer lawyers I mentioned are negotiating directly with an OpenClaw agent. Hilarity is sure to ensue. ResMan
+2 an analyst mentioned one of the group heads likes working out and thinks too may juniors are out of shape, could be a factor Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 Unfortunately I also have to agree with the commentor above. brtfedd1312
+2 This is their actual strategy btw  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+2 I can't tell whether you're saying you did this by accident, as a joke, or on purpose? I don't think any which way is better than the others though  nutmegger189
+2 Your founder comparison cuts the other way. Yes, the founder thinks about his business in the shower. So do I, about deals I will never own a basis point of. We work the same hours with the same obsession. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+2 There are a wide range of seed funds. Many are anchored around a single founding partner, but some have broadened and become more institutional. Primary would be one that's broadened, also Uncork. VC_since13
+2 Based on your discussions with others, I don't really feel the need to continue here - you're getting emotional and you still for example, haven't really explained what "true" exit opps are and why these are somehow object nutmegger189
+2 Georgetown alum, so yes, biased, but even still. breakinentry
+2 Yeah a big issue is that my earnings are very awkward. Some of my companies do pre-closes pre QTR end and then go into quiet period from beginning of next Q. Others don't their pre closes until 2-4 weeks post Q end. Research Analyst in ER
+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 All solid choices. The Warwick and essec mifs are bit weaker than the rest of your choices though  adrien3
+2 I was looking at a deal this week for my search and it’s a company that will almost certainly be replaced by AI (they essentially create slides like a graphics team). apetrynamakeit
+2 Laz is weak, Rothschild mostly MM or even LMM deals, PJT ordinary in M&A, evermore more of a mix of smaller deals and large ones. guillaume.alexandre
+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 Stern Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 It doesn’t matter what you put on your resume, if you’re not doing research/diligence and investing, you won’t make it through the interviews process. Principal in PE - LBOs
+2 BNP return rate is ~50%. What desks are you interested in? jbgz23
+2 Calling me a "retard" when you dont know have the full context is a bad look for you.  See my added context above and lmk if you still feel that way.  Associate 3 in CorpDev
+2 Humans can amend docs but can't amend the business. Pricing risk correctly is more important than reading a doc that almost definitively has a lot of holes even excluding amendments Anitya Comments
+2 I ended up choosing HEC financeguy69457
+2 The government uses it for information gathering, which is exactly what this guy suggested for IB. It isn’t executing military operations. Intern in IB - Gen
+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 Am a current An1 who's recruiting off-cycle for growth roles, so admittedly biased. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+2 Basically an LLM arms race CEO in PropTrad
+2 Ive been waiting for someone to say this. I agree AI is very helpful but “garbage in, garbage out”. The mass shitification in the investing space and quite frankly everywhere is so exhausting. waccAF
+2 How do you see the way out of it? Associate 2 in AM - Other
+2 Is this the Argentina program? I heard you’re essentially another first year analyst who can’t do live work as unlicensed. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Can confirm ASO 1 goes up to 425k. Guggenheim pays quite well among the boutiques Business School in IB-M&A
+2 Depends what your looking for. If you'd like to stay in the upper echelons of London, Croydon, Lewisham, Peckham and Newham I'd recommend.  DeleAlli211

+2 This is a very distinct change I've seen in many different industries since 2023 or so. cp5670

+2 Rip practice tests. Use “study mode” to actually learn the concepts first. But keep ripping practice tests. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+2 A bit of tough love - make it a priority or move on. Addinator
+2 I think you have to first know: which strategy you’d like to be in (if hybrid, it’s like 30% of them go on cycle while the rest off cycle); then which firm, I suggest going firm by firm and list them all out by preference eatbanana1234
+2 The founder's dad is Bruce Karsh, billionaire co-founder of Oaktree, so a lot of money behind them (at least at the onset). No idea how their funds have performed. Does anyone have any insight? Director in RE - Other
+2 Claudius & Co. The Fool of Finances
+2 So in your view being a judge at the UK Soupreme Court wouldn't be prestigious because he doesn't own a 18th century mansion? lmao  GS under Blankfein

+2 Sure ya did buddy, and I did Ivanka MOICProtection
+2 Dump it all in SOXL  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
