+2 If its just 1-2 projects, then you either have an a-hole associate / vp creating unncessary work for you or yes, you may be a little bit inefficient right now and have a bit of a learning curve to get up mastering shortcut Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Charles Aris is a big recruiter for PE-backed corp dev roles at LMM/MM PE portcos.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 I’m not entirely sure but I posted the link to the podcast. But this is how I understood it: Intern in IB - Cov
+2 Biggest advice for that price range is buy on Jomashop. Much better prices for the same thing. There's a few mechanical Hamilton Khaki Fields near the top of your price range, but otherwise just go Seiko/Orient/Citizen. Zyns_And_Excel
+2 NYU cas kid here who successfully landed ib.  1. Yes, having the NYU name is much better than non targets. I got many automatic R1s at MM bc of the NYU name and was treated same as Stern kids  blueberry_muffin123
+2 You probably commented this trying to incite reactions but I’m like 90% sure more than half the ppl in this thread agree with you VP in PE - LBOs

+2 Anonymous Monkey: ectmt
+2 Recruit out. I would evaluate this on when your firm last raised a fund, history of promoting associates, and how large the associate classes are. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 WSO really loves zombie funds. I guess it makes sense because their juniors do not have any capital to deploy so can spend their time writing positive stories about their funds.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 L ragebait  mara20
+2 Tell your team you have been getting killed and are noticing a drop in your effectiveness / function and need to get some sleep. Take a one night reset and log off by 10 and actually get some sleep. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 You don't need to make decisions based on what computer you will use professionally in 4 years. Whatever you buy will be old and beat to shit by then. Make a decision based on the computer you need now.  CRE
+2 I have no idea but I got rammed by an 8' monster yday Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Similar experience. CB was not only extremely rude,  hard to get in contact with, but had no idea what she was doing. josh.smithers123
+2 Pretty sure this is just a normal human reaction and anyone who tells you otherwise is a nonce. If you are sleeping less than 6 hours continously, it is medically very bad for you. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+2 Hey, I'm also a stem grad (Maths).  Analyst 1 in IB - DCM

+2 Had a family member with a similar experience who said CB was super unethical. Surprising Morgan Stanley still let's them use their name.  samsonG
+2 Brother it's very clear that you are retarded. Btw changing your profile from an2 to ass1 doesnt hide the fact that you're the same account.  auckfndover
+2 KF is a known scammer who will do anything and screw over anyone. Particularly,  for her social crusad  but mainly to inrich herself.  skimmightbezodiak

+2 Experiencing the same issues here. Broadly targeting opportunistic credit and special situations investing. Feedback I have gotten has mainly been that they aren’t hiring or funds want prior buyside experience. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+2 It was very hard to get a finance role for the 2027 cycle as an international this last year (almost no one got it that I know). It will be very difficult also from a school that's not as finance heavy (UIUC).  Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 This is easy - UNC sends SO many kids into IB/PE/Other finance. You have to be a top 50-60 kid there but you can be if you join one of the best funds/clubs your first semester. Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 Focus on: Prospect in IB-M&A

+2 R1s came out last week Intern in HF - Other
+2 You’re acting like you’ve never said a slur to your friends before lmao Intern in IB - DCM
+2 Would recommend emailing instead. Finance professionals, especially those in Senior positions, don't tend to be active on LinkedIn. You really don't need to overthink it. averagemonkey12
+2 Better question would be what is the future of IB, considering people are leaving at a crazy alarming rate and they can't fill in seats fast enough Handy_panda
+2 i quit without anything lined up and it's very difficult to get traction with interviews. i know exactly how you feel but you must stick it out and recruit while you have a job, while at the same time performing well. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+2 It's a standard SWF style firm; great WLB relative to other PE, but harder to get promoted and a very different skill-set. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Been in IB/PE for 5-6 years and only one or two EAs I have come across US/UK are good, and they make really good salaries compared to the median so there is no real excuse for the extreme laziness/ineptitude  jackdonaghy26
+2 CRESEA goodL1fe
+2 I’m not sure about RX to be honest, I remember them being one of the top shops on the street, but will let others keep me honest - I’m sure there’s plenty of RX rankings on the forum so would check that. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Apparently the NY office re-opened their MBA summer associate program. Sad! qazwsx246
+2 Source: friend worked there Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 It's sad this is even a question. From a professional perspective, being a rower and an athlete will definitely help as much as or more than any club. Plus, the network will go deeper. Prospect in IB - 5th Year
+2 Since we already have a 9 year bump… I’ll answer my own question. Rich dudes spending 6 months out of the year in Puerto Rico has taken off. Especially post-Covid where WFH flexibility is an option at a lot of places. Pokemon Master
+2 We added it to the preferred qualifications for an options analyst opening last year. PM in AM - Other
+2 I went to Cornell, loved it, have done very well in my career (top BB -> PE -> now HF) and I would still say Stanford. It’s one of the very best schools in the world. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+2 In summary, like the propaganda agent Xuequin Jiang rightly said: "whoever you're not allowed to question is who is ruling you". Period. Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Be the intern who removes work, not creates work. Show up early, write stuff down, send clean follow ups, ask questions once not five times. People remember reliable way more than “smart”. Hanlon
+2 few, but at least you knew that the WASPs that were in the Government were fully aligned on American interests and those took priority  GS under Blankfein
+2 Get familiar with terms in your sector and workstreams. You need to do a lot of context switching, tedious admin work etc. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+2 ioncewenttoschool Ozymandia
+2 Thanks, very helpful. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 I usually think you have interesting and valuable POV but OP is clearly in a difficult situation man. It's good to cry it out for a bit / a few days and start thinking about an exit to be safe. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 A really helpful trick my advisor taught me was to always start with 10% of a number and work from there. For example, to get 40% of 75: tari_wallstreetbound.com

+2 Where I’ve seen AI actually help: Ex-consultant in Tech

+2 All info I know abt NYC position: slavelaborwallst
+2 probably this... GS under Blankfein

+2 You got it! That's exactly why I said you're safe. Thanks for confirming my statement.  larrysellers
+2 An MBA doesn't make any sense in today's economy unless you're looking for a drastic pivot. You aren't. I would hard pass on the MBA considering it's a $500K opportunity cost. Business School in CorpStrat
+2 .3 * 500 = 60 60/.5 = 120 120/3 = 40 Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 General responses: for BB, you get to work on the biggest, most impactful deals; for EB, you get an enormous amount of exposure and experience early on due to the lean deal teams (similar could be said for MM); for MM, fir curiouspross

+2 Bocconi. Bristol is a semi target. You'll clear more screenings with bocconi  Prospect in Acct - Other
+2 I suspect that you are not being hired for other reasons.  If a prospective employer was going to make a decision based on your resume, they wouldn't be talking to you in the first place. Ozymandia
+2 ojapar20Calling AI a bubble is literally a retarded take at this point. Ozymandia
+2 "This administration" in the US has 2 years to go, it won't be around forever. And by the way, capital is pouring into the US under this admin. MMPM
+2 I love Miami and don't see myself in NYC forever, but West Palm might be too suburban for me. For some that might be a positive so that's purely just my opinion. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Like, writing didn’t make people less smart just because we stopped memorizing everything. Ozymandia
