+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 I think many people worry too much : just go for it! tcbflash
+2 Basis got their agency license during the Biden administration. Roundabout way of saying Basis was given $150 million from Biden because they have a black woman as a cofounder.  Prospect in RE - Other
+2 accounting team? lol Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 It’s so over Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+2 Just finished my freshman year so wanted to give my 2 cents. Not sure why DTD is so high (troll?), KC not really a club but very good org, FIR and CMC are top for sure, heavy on RXDI as the best public club NicerOptimist
+2 Lol [email protected]
+2 Just did some research into DTD. Heard that they were claiming 100% IBW placements while being around for ONE YEAR?? Can anyone confirm? NicerOptimist

+2 . SinsirseleyYours
+2 Appreciate the candid insights, I have been seeing entering into ECM as a stepping stone for other opportunities.  The reason I am interested in ECM IB is for a few reasons.  Bananaman2059
+2 Is this offer higher or lower than your current pre tax income? Does your offer include a housing allowance, schooling etc? If no then it’s lower than what some of the main SWFs and PE shops in the region. A_Gigloo
+2 Culture - pretty good tbh. Seems very collegiate and friendly  VP in IB - Gen
+2 Agree, total cost is higher, but that's good fees and marquee deals for marketing purposes (more than most UBS groups can say at this point). Regardless, the point was more that UBS as a whole is just doing horribly. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Super common, people just never talk about it. Send a short email (“personal reasons”) and set your LI to private in addition to not posting about it. Bridges with the BB are burned, but it is what it is.  Intern in Consulting
+2 OP, let me start by saying I empathize with you. Maybe try building pointed experience either through a sector or sub-sector and know your market cold. SmoothStripes
+2 I think some on this thread are younger, so they just weren't in the workforce in the 2010s and didn't see just how insane things have gotten. DEI is now an issue that people openly debate. JulianRobertson
+2 This is insane. No intern should ever be touching a model. What a terrible assignment. MediumTalk
+2 I did something kind of similar. Worked in New York City and Los Angeles before moving to Texas for corporate development and my MBA, but now I  remote online  actually living in developing economies. Manager in CorpStrat
+2 Barclays gives out more return offers as a percent than MS. MS is better in rates and commodities. Barclays is better in credit and probably also FX. Prospect in S&T - FI
+2 Glass ceiling in engineering is real. Even in the hottest AI company, Open AI/Anthropic the senior SWE pay is ~500k-600k which is less than banking VP. regret_tech
+2 Time to GTFU of my EB seeing the BB numbers lmao Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 wouldn't say the clubs are super important, at least they weren't back when I was at emory ('18)will be harder for ox students typically but def not out of reachdon't know, probably the ox c hdhebsaaaa
+2 Beyond that, there is much lower beta with generating $2MM per year with a WM book of business vs being a principal / jr partner at a buyside firm that seems to be crushing it. kuf135
+2 It’s not bad at all. The reality is if someone (even if it’s family or client) is willing to vouch for you that is a positive signal that they have a baseline level of competency. desertrose
+2 All 3. I said just level 1 because it's easier and not too distracting on top of working and studying. If you can prepare for level 2 while doing the master's more power to you...  I Beg to Differ
+2 Has to be rage bait Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Retire and focus all my time to become a pro Muay Thai/judo fighter. Live for honor and glory DCFMonkee
+2 I think it's way better than trying to recruit FT for the maybe 3-4 spots at significantly better firms that would be available. The market right now is terrible, so I would just focus on getting a return. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 by prop shop i mean jane street, optiver, sig, etc. these people typically do not leave their jobs or job hop all that much. the people who transition do so when they are interns, but generally they stay put. Works at Citadel Investment Group
+2 Unfortunately I also have to agree with the commentor above. brtfedd1312
+2 No, I did it at a smaller firm that paid better than Big 4 (think A&M, FTI, Riveron, etc.), at least at the time. If you're getting true IB experience, you're way better off than someone in FDD. Lester Freamon
+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 For Mck, out of undergrad progression isn't standard. You can make AP in 3.5 years if ur super fast. This is because undergrad's skip the post mba (associate role). NewConsultingMonkeyW
+2 To the contrary, have found that prop shops are some of the best hunting grounds for talent today (though this is much less true 5-10 years ago when prop firms had less strategy overlap with hedge funds, so LinkedIn histor PM in HF - Other
+2 Actually based out of SF and a separate group altogether. Might be housed under their traditional industrials practice not completely sure. They work with Menlo a lot. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+2 After the January job report, yes it is (and I've seen a handful of documentaries these past few years which makes APAC's job market look far worse). Keep your job, job search aggressively. NewIndustryHorizon
+2 by prop shop i mean jane street, optiver, sig, etc. these people typically do not leave their jobs or job hop all that much.  this is very, very rare. morgantire
+2 JS doesn’t have non competes but they happen to sue apparently when you leave for millennium. I personally know the person they sued that left and he literally had one of the most manual strategies at the firm. Works at Citadel Investment Group
+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 One of my biggest regrets is not doing this when I had the opportunity to do it for undergrad and B school (the latter which I had no idea was an option until I saw a classmate do it).  NewIndustryHorizon
+2 Coming from outside the product group, so take this with a pinch of salt, but different banks use different names and scopes for PCA Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Sounds like UBS management has succeeded in increasing attrition, given the comp issues and mandatory 5 days in office, etc. UBS GB Americas simply isnt a good place to work. Intern in IB - Gen

+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 Recruited at the MBA level at a BB, and my school has 1 club that coordinates everything from prepping to recruiting. I think dues are ~$150ish for both years so no significant barrier to entry.  SmoothStripes
+2 Ken Carson has a song titled Yale. So Yale.  danimono
+2 Ok so for context I'm an incoming analyst at Accenture Strategy and I always messed a lot with coding with AI and recently Claude code. Let me tell you that the capabilities are INSANE. 200kman

+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 This angle is a bit ridiculous.  While your gender may not be entirely the reason your comment is ridiculous, it seems to be impacting it. nontraditionalchimpforbillions
+2 WS Raider - I’ve only used the Claude excel plugin and Claude Sonnet for drafting memos and charts, but my experience so far doesn’t really match yours. larry david
+2 I think my school has you beat Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 During a job interview I was asked if I have any other questions. Sharky286
+2 Rule #1: never take what other interns tell you about their reviews at face value. What incentive do they have to be honest with you if it went poorly? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+2 Close friends work there its portfolio management; maybe dependent on location but supposedly your portfolio weights and decisions are actually executed. SAoNothing
+2 What guarantee is there that this VP will always be there? You can't latch onto him forever. Spread your wings butterfly and try new things. SonicBoom12
+2 The number of people here who took the bait hook, line, and sinker is glorious lol Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 Really? They are cranking deals and one of the better FIG teams. What part is not good? Or is this related to recent MD hires Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Take a look at the CAIA as well - that's specifically for alternatives and two levels - not certain of specific requirements, however think you should be able to sit for it at this point.  Addinator
+2 “Are all in on this” It’s not a hidden conspiracy, or something we’ve just discovered. It’s done in your face, and it’s been happening for a long time. alex50
+2 Jeff is more hardo / frat. Dominates the middle market. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Germany has an age of consent of 14 GIVEN that the other partner is under 21.  Same with most of the other countries there.  Donny and Jeff were sure as hell not under 21 at the time Soros_
+2 i don't see why getting laid off from a clo seat would make it difficult to find a new one. it’s all credit analysis. not rocket science. a well trained analyst is a well trained analyst. Analyst 1 in Consulting

+2 Everybody who says evercore ecm is an intern makeIBgreatagain
+2 With an ostensibly good outcome locked in for post grad, you have a unique opportunity to pursue activities that are either higher career risk or not immediate, tangible value ads (in other words not "resume builders"). ABSurdity
+2 Most competitive seats (for IB at least). People on this forum care about prestige and maximizing for sweatiness Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 America should, but never will, have a policy like Switzerland, where you have to prove there was no swiss fit for the job (or at least a decent effort at attempting to find a suitable swiss was made) alex50

+2 People will tell you not to lie. Thats probably the right advice unless someone checks. If you are willing to take the risk just go for it. Look at all the people on Forbes 30U30 who lie and raise $Ms. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+2 Mayfair is equivalent to TriBeca or Soho, not 53rd street. incoming_analyst
+2 You could also say that quite a few went to CD&R / Advent from BofA over the last few years just as an example. Associate 1 in PE - Other
