+2 Charles Aris is a big recruiter for PE-backed corp dev roles at LMM/MM PE portcos.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 My take as a recent MBA grad - In this economy and that pedigree, do not do an MBA. It only makes sense nowadays if you want to make a drastic career pivot. And you don't fall in that boat. Business School in CorpStrat

+2 The vast majority of these comments absolutely check out and they are absolutely 100% wrong. VP in IB - Cov
+2 Can confirm, I think I know who you are talking about Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Thanks for the insights. Returning to running a much larger pod sleeve (think 3 yards, with $150mm drawdown limit), how do you typically structure your book in rates, fx. vainFly
+2 Can talk to MS SF. If you’re talking exits, it’s just as good as NY my class went to various MFs across verticals. Culturally I enjoyed it, good people and more casual culture than NY. asdf1248
+2 Have done both directions. You definitely can make the move but be prepared to start as a first year analyst. stephen4056

+2 My guess is it’s meaningfully lower, but interesting question. So many get culled post Associate.  VP in IB - Cov
+2 i chose cornell over stern and berkeley aodifaodfn
+2 you can do co-op / offcycle at schulich too (you can take up to a year off so you can do summer + fall winter summer (gap year)+ following summer for a total of 5 cycles)  ILOVEBANANAS123

+2 Avoid Abry. Force the third year in banking to avoid ending up at a fund like that Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+2 Explains so much. I wouldn’t of joined UBS if I knew all this Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 JHU -> big fish in small pond which can be an advantage. school leans towards pre med so lack finance/ consulting resources and alumni to coffee chat compared to other schools. bot_banker
+2 Interesting to see how different shops handle this — the “rolling cost basis” approach mentioned above is pretty close to what I’ve seen in practice as well. harryjames
+2 where do you learn about all the specifics about what is important in industrial?  hard assets
+2 Associate 1 in IB-M&AProbably some scrubs imo. I kept my gf to this day but she is a cum doll basically.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀

+2 The other GIS Investment Research reports. All available on their website.  Intern in PE - LBOs

+2 prospect here but older friends from uni/college are AN1 and AN2 and they said the following: alexcokke
+2 Nice post, OP. I did my MBA at Ivey so good to get some insight on the undergrad side.  Manager in Consulting
+2 I'm not in IB but I always find these discussions funny. It's almost invariably an analyst who probably has limited life experience, and limited context on the "why" behind the deals they're working on. TobyTwoTone
+2 Np, ended up choosing UCL. Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Well as a banker, this is a client-servicing job. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 I don't think any sane person is advocating for taking EBs over GS IBD, unless (1) it's a weak / niche GS group (Cross markets, Real Estate) or (2) the EB is CVP, EVR or PJT RSSG (and even then, a GS TMT is the better choi Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Not a ton to add on top of the other insightful comments, but will note a couple things: Research Analyst in HF - RelVal

+2 As Rowan said, PE is not a growing business and it has been shown in the amount of demotions and high profile individuals going over to hybrid strategies. louisdub - MD
+2 Your question is valid, but I would still opt for a 1 year program if its the european ones, but 2 years gives good time for networking, but since you say US trajectory, you can't do real ground networking, do try the MiF, unrealbanker
+2 I got a couple hand written notes from analysts and that was special enough / I have kept all the things. Anything with monetary value they can just afford/buy themselves. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 The Cleveland Industrials team is extremely sweaty and they struggle with junior banker turnover. Associate 1 in IB - DCM

+2 Assuming you'd be leaving after A2? Short answer is yes, long answer is it obviously depends. VP in PE - LBOs
+2 H&F, LGP, Veritas “underrated” 😂😂😂. The question is stupid though, can’t be a UMM/MF and also be underrated Intern in IB - Gen
+2 I’m not sure about Eastern Europe, but as someone who’s done an internship in an APAC Emerging Market, it’s mostly bs. cirrusvii
+2 Hey man, you aren’t behind. You will get training and people don’t expect you to know a lot. With that being said, you need to make sure you pick things up quickly. zoomizoomi
+2 It’s meaningful and it’s not. 500k is not enough money to change any life decisions or allow you to take your foot off the gas. But it still has a lot of value Managing Director in IB-M&A
+2 ASO-0 is just a cheap way for the bank to milk you for value while not paying you KageSelly
+2 Myslím, že spousta lidí si plete „méně ziskové než dříve“ s „mrtvé“. LuanaMiller
+2 side hustles will be tough for you. I'd probably just focus on the job going forward. RonaldBacon
+2 What I take away from your question is you believe that getting rich is predicated on being smart and I think that's wrong. Wish_I_HadTrustFund

+2 Don't know how sponsors is so high when they fired first years, and this year return rates are gonna be awful  Intern in IB - Cov

+2 Yes, LBS/LSE without finance internships already will make it tough to break into London. Top 3 pge/mif is good. Yes ESCP is a bit stronger in finance than Essec, particularly for London since they have a campus there. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Think a lot of these younger UMMs might be underrated relative to career advancement opportunities, as a lot of people seem to look solely at fund size and past exits when evaluating firms. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 I don't think this is for NYC. There are way more than 19 interns doing S&T in the NYC office. Cannot think of a time within the last decade where RO at barclays was less than 50%. It's usually higher. Prospect in S&T - FI
+2 So say you're class of 26 HS and class of 30 for college. randomfreshmanguyuva
+2 Tech… fml Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 This might be a very stupid question, but are you explicitly told that you’re in top/middle/bottom bucket? Or some other indication of ranking? Or is that something that I determine vs what other analysts got seekinthealpha1
