+2 addictedtolearningNever in my life have I seen a resume formatted as awkwardly as this. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 I think BXP and KRC are getting hurt by occupancy. BXP said occupancy was turning a corner and it didn't. KRC had -15% lease spreads in their latest earnings. Exec VP in RE - Other
+2 In that case yes. I interned at a RE credit shops before starting full time reib. Definitely helped. olamiemie
+2 Senior Living will be a very interesting asset class in the next few years. First, there is a huge shortage of units for the aging population which will likely drive up occupancy across the board. wallherder
+2 I know I also sound like an LGP glazer (I kind of am) but why is that necessarily a bad idea? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Who got the emails?  Prospect in IB - Cov
+2 Can’t think of a better place to put 6-10 years in as a banker if you don’t want to be an MD, want to stack cash, and are willing to work for it. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Agree with the above fully. Reaching out to your current employer without your permission is extremely bad practice. cremefraiche
+2 Hey if you are a good private equity investor - you should have conviction and differentiation vs just being I need something safe. Teller in IB - Cov
+2 Intern in IB - Cov
+2 Definitely not stock pitch competitions, can tell you that for sure. VIC is mostly trash these days imo as well. Benson Says

+2 yes lmao Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 Can confirm these tutoring services exist and the kids underneath it all are retarded Research Analyst in ER
+2 It still should be BRG T2, especially since M3 and Ankura are up there. I’d argue BRG has led much more notable deals, especially within the retail sector. rolo25
+2 Honestly, this plan doesn't take many things into consideration, and it's much harder than you think to achieve the goals you've set. analystbabooon
+2 there is this magic thing where there are new 24 year olds every year anonf0fty
+2 Pretending that charlie kirk was debating in good faith and not fishing for sound bites to dunk on libs and farm social media engagement and clicks is one of the worst takes i’ve ever heard of in my life prospectieape
+2 I'm pretty sure we are in a recession right now. Everyone I talk to only talks about how bad the economy is and that their business or employer is slowing down and laying off. Fred Fredburger

+2 PM in RE - Comm Ozymandia
+2 jl12 Works at The Family Office
+2 Why should I recruit at a bank with terrible leadership and terrible pay Prospect in IB - Cov
+2 Offers were never meant to change your life. It’s an above median paycheck for above median hours, nothing more. It’s your career and no one’s going to motivate you to succeed more than yourself Intern in IB - Gen
+2 Didn't take either of these offers, but as an additional data point was making ~$375k as a second-year PE associate and got (a) an offer at a publicly traded tech company for ~$300k all-in (base + bonus + annual equity)… Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 pac12 slop Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Curiosity and being a self-starter /proactive is the #1 most important thing to being a good associate. It seems like you are doing that well through reading and keeping up with companies. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Where are you finding these 300k+ finance jobs? I’ve been looking for a while and most of the comp ranges don’t even come close Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 ^ that one dude that willingly acts like a retard: Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 Crestline's private credit group is based in FW. Juniors can work from Dallas office a few days a week but have to go to FW on others. dayumsam
+2 Associate 2 in AM - Other*UPDATEStill employed. For now. Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 That’s a total lowball. The low end for Asso 1 in Chicago would be 180k all in. Associate 1 in Private Credit
+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 There’s plenty of evidence suggesting he is a left winger and scant evidence he is a Groyper. And I say this as someone on the right who argues with the Groypers all the time! larry david
+2 These are my 2 cents: First priority I think should be reading Investment Banking by Joshua Rosenbaum + Pearl - super helpful + explains every concept you will need to know sc_30
+2 Bro in America we’re just trying to make money. Save the existential questions for across the pond Leverage Hero
+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 +1 SB. Oh you're right. That one does count. My fault. Very crazy thing where conservatives admit when they're wrong and accept the facts as they are. NoEquityResearch
+2 Predictions for return rates next summer? Better or worse? Presumably large classes as well if the headcount targets were set last fall / early winter Intern in IB - Gen
+2 Claudius & Co. The Fool of Finances
+2 I think you may be missing the forest for the trees here bud Abusement Park
+2 The Unemployment Chronicles continue Abusement Park
+2 I think "Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A" said it well. From my experience (I work at a very small firm in the MW) I get a lot of deal exposure on municipal bonds and get to work on every part of the process. nathan pf A2
+2 Dump it all in SOXL  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Make the decision based on what you want to do in the future.  kobeofmbb
+2 At the end of the day, all that matters is how much money we make in our lives. If you're middle class, sure you have your evenings free but can you really live a good life making $200-300k? ryurai69
+2 In my experience it has been worse. I went from an RX group to a MF. Both are terrible but PE has been considerably more stressful, less predictable, and more hours overall. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 I’m starting to see rates drop and prices adjust a little… but I don’t know the next time I’m going to be able to underwrite a positive leverage deal.  Pokemon Master
+2 Let us know what happens here Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Got it. Also, glad you're not a bot. So let's say hypothetically you could have passed off that tax credit application to an analysts or an associate and gave them proper context and parameters.. FinServces
+2 i think asso is the level where personal preferences, location, and family start to come into play especially if this is as a MBA asso(?). do you want to live in chicago/SF or ny? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 Personally I wouldn't put SF and Chicago in quite the same category. So I'd definitely take SF M&A over JPM FIG, but I'd probably also take Chicago M&A over JPM FIG.  HowlerMonkey
+2 yeah, thats tough. i would take your SAT asap, huge detriment. ACT could be an opportunity they're not thaaaat hard exams. Anonymous Monkey
+2 Lmao  Intern in IB - Gen
+2 I’m going to assume above is sarcastic. Absolutely do not take it. I’d legit DQ someone if I found out they went back to take the SAT at this point in their career. Poor use of time as long as your college GPA is fine. SaaSChimp
+2 Apollo is only attractive to hardo's on WSO, it's a publicly traded insurance company at the end of the day, as per Rowan's description of the business. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Having a track record of internships at Norton Antivirus Associate 2 in AM - Other
+2 Give it time, it all comes in waves, and this early on it’s just random. You’ll get your shot soon and be wishing you never said this lol Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 How do you see the way out of it? Associate 2 in AM - Other
+2 GS Hybrid strategy is mostly (1) deep holdco / mezz for sponsor deals (no eq upside; 13-15% PIK paper) and (2) growth / structured / minority equity (Soho House, Econic Partners). Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+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 Basically an LLM arms race CEO in PropTrad
+2 Also same for MS London: be aware, both firms will tell you how likely you are to get an offer but will lie and only take 30-40% (at least those are my numbers from a close friend) Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 PJT Rx comp for VPs is above your stated level. Only VP1 last year was at that level (range was at the high end of your range).  Intern in IB-M&A
+2 have you received any feedback as to why you're not moving up? is it simply just too crowded at the top i.e. no room for promotion? Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+2 Buddy still smoking the poppy they stole from China. The UK isn’t relevant. You guys are work shy pricks. aga1515
+2 lol the 95% of the content of CIMs are now generated with AI. Can’t imagine not doing that Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 if you're not gonna have a life, at least find a wife Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 hows your corporate finance to begin with? do you know why a company might find itself in distress? what's distress exactly and what types of distress are? GS under Blankfein
+2 Thanks for the response - appreciate it. asgardian
+2 That seems low for Private Credit. Is this a PM role? Analyst 1 in Private Credit
+2 Would also add Pari Passu (more RX focused) and the Credit Pitch by LCD Associate 1 in Private Credit
+2 +1 that group is swarmed with Asian hello kitties Intern in IB - Cov
+2 Depends on the job, some hiring teams are particular about what they want, while some are ok. asgardian
+2 It's a lot easier to cruise. You can get by working 9-6, logging off for a few hours and then sending emails at night. MDs won't love you but who cares, not like you're trying to build a career in banking. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 if this is all a scheme for endless optionally with no clear path, why does everyone try to leave banking? similar to ppl becoming a corporate lawyer to clear 7-8 figure pay days one day, why not just stay in banking? Intern in IB-M&A
+2 cant wait for the responses to this one haha Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 . Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 What you're hearing about QT is not a rumor. And mid tier firms started increasing comp to compete for talent as well. Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+2 Uhh, well... First off, nobody is blacklisting candidates based on the internship, lol. If anything, it is arguably better to have at least some gigs than have none. survivor007
+2 It's going to be lower than peak years, but it's not like nobody is getting a return. Should just focus on trying to be the best intern possible, no matter what. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 For the non-billable hour based groups, collaborative. Peope are nice, the hours are long, yes, but the people make it manageable. Comp is great. Benefits are ok. Nothing outstandingly negative to say. Manager in CorpDev
+2 Might be controversial but my own experience the biggest decider of how hard technicals were in FT interviews(interviewed at 8 places across BB/EB/MM, would say i had maybe 15-20 separate interviewers) was whether or not m Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+2 Head so far up your own ass and still unwilling to take no for an answer. As I said before, if you think you’re so qualified, just fucking go reach out and apply? Benson Says
+2 I would echo this.  WestCoastChimp4521
+2 Sorry having a bad week. That was uncalled for.  Principal in RE - Other
+2 Following, currently a PE ASO1 who had a much better experience (and lower hours) in a good-culture IB group. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 dude, y'all are acting like recruitment got so hard. at a semi-target and all the non-retarded people in my class placed really well Intern in IB-M&A
+2 If I had to rank them: S+: EVR S: PJT / LAZ-CL CuriousGeorge1024
+2 Spring weeks aren’t really a thing in Sydney. hseiebeei
+2 Congrats on skyknight  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Yuh you're absolutely right, but in response to that, the tier list above wasn't based off comp; that wasn't even a factor. shumsky
+2 SMBC and the other jap banks in the US. Some of the MM Balance sheet type banks in the US attempt to compete as well. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 That in a vacuum is not necessarily a bad thing, IMO. LAZ and CVP do the same thing. MMM6969
+2 Would rather be in the groups that have great WLB and no flow, like Tech, or groups without great WLB but flow like LevFin. It's ridiculous that there are groups at UBS that have neither, just a terrible experience. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 360 no scoped that mandate fr XXZOP
