+2 zero_best advice for someone wanting to be career banker and reach MD position? Jaded Rainmaker
+2 GP commit for an established fund like Level is closer to 1-3% usually, but let's call it 5% total with employee coinvest, friends and family, etc. Still meaningful but usually much less than 10-15% of the fund.  kuf135
+2 When you make the junior take 7-8 years to get past ASO level, the only ones who are going to stay are the ones who couldn't find a different job. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+2 I love your comment! Very informative and wise! Eva@01
+2 I regret ever engaging with this company, as my entire experience with them proved to be a complete waste of time. ellamia3215
+2 Overall yeah for sure. Only exception is EVR TMT NYC is insane. Super lean (they pick the top analysts in the summer class for FT since internship is generalist) and they cover all the coolest media tech deals out there. Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 Youve been banging women since the 1970s gramps? UnclePhilly
+2 I think you should hear back within this week if you've advanced  dbdbndfj
+2 Any thoughts on how good exits to BBs/EBs are? Both for Levfin and M&A Intern in IB - Gen
+2 order a tequila definitelynotafinancebro
+2 It’s your issue that you’re in the office till 2 every day. If the others are bad they’re not going to get staffed that heavily anyway  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+2 You will still have a lot of pitching but instead of discussion materials coverage groups create like comps, industry themes, thoughts on valuations you’ll get to work on hypothetical M&A merger models with accretion d Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+2 Rip practice tests. Use “study mode” to actually learn the concepts first. But keep ripping practice tests. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 sanfrancisco37how would you feel if college student recruiting for IB cold emailed you? have heard differing things about emailing vp+ Jaded Rainmaker
+2 You’ve got a solid foundation—BB IBD experience and strong extracurriculars definitely help. DerivativesRiskEducation
+2 If you’re 5–6 years into your career, a top MBA is generally more effective for re-recruitment into asset management. It’s better aligned with mid-career hiring and gives access to structured recruiting. DerivativesRiskEducation
+2 You need to find a place that has the opportunity for coverage after 1-2 years if you plan to stay for a long time. You’re in a weird spot but you’d have no problem getting hired assuming personality fit matches. anonymous_IV
+2 Levfin Prospect in IB - Cov
+2 The vast majority of pods in multimanager funds in singapore are focused on macro (rates/fx/vol/etc) while HK has more of an equity focus. monaco_monkey

+2 This has been accelerating in the last 2 years and was one reason (out of many) I left and didn’t stay on as an Aso. If the talent below is incompetent, your quality of life as an Aso/D is terrible.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Yeah I’ve seen people turn down UChicago, Cornell, and Brown for stern, hard to see that for Ross rooseveltfan
+2 "EPS to share price framework". Good luck, son. MMPM
+2 No one still talks about Coalesce being hot though. They are bleeding senior folk and have not much to show for their fund yet. It just got hyped up early because Stephanie was a great investor at WP Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 In a very similar situation, but with a MM. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 I'm not understanding what you're saying here. " As a result, all these loans are extended into 2027 and 2028 and are cash-flow positive with the reserves we’ve raised." cragfar
+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 am from the bay and went to Berkeley. People here are really smart but not that proper or polished. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 Tufts did rly well this cycle Prospect in IB-M&A

+2 what are you talking about Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 Hec/Escp > ESSEC >> Warwick. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+2 Yes every group is different, this is how it is at every bank that has groups. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Just do more unfortunately or frame it differently or honestly stop taking calls with people you don’t want to talk to. SAoNothing
+2 Depends, I wouldn't go, say, from MS IND to GS IND... if it's GS TMT, I'd probably take that over any JPM/MS group unless you have very strong liking of the teams there Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 This guy is horrible he literally spiraled for 3 comments straight. Hes just proving analyst's point. The guy made some comment that was so bad it mods cleared it. Anyone knows what he said. Intern in IB-M&A
+2 The Dodgers IsItREPE
+2 Full Stack: sappybrodo
+2 If it is at a true T1 shop (A&M, Alix, or FTI), then I would take the RxCo role. RCJ92
+2 Tufts Investment Banking Club has grown so much Intern in IB - Cov
+2 Got it. Just hope I'm not going to be evaluated for my performance in law at all, since it's a career I'm trying to leave behind, since it was a mistake to begin with. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Usually policy is candidate should coffee chat 1-2 ppl that both sign off / give referrals; most ppl will get passed to a second person (unless u have exceptional chat w sr person). Intern in IB-M&A
+2 A few things. Keep melatonin usage limited to like 1-3mg. Pair that with magnesium; ashwaganda if anxious. There are other supplements that can help with quality sleep I don’t know what they are nor use them. GoldEnergyBonds
+2 Firstly, congrats! And if you wouldn’t mind a couple of follow-ups: Did you leave without anything lined up? If so, how’d you manage that dynamic if/when it came up in conversations with prospective employers? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 (Still me) I for instance have never done an operating model from scratch to finish. Some stuff here and there  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 To this point - as someone who was at MBB, I definitely think you should take Google. SearchLookFind
+2 It depends on group reputation. I didn’t even know GS had an M&A group. From what I remember MS for example has a proper M&A team The model will be held by the M&A team at quite a few banks Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Last line in the article "Goldman Sachs spokesperson Tony Fratto told The Post in a statement: “Goldman Sachs media relations did not approve these interviews.” LMFAO 2and20
+2 You mean it's irrelevant if you're at GS or another firm bc you won't get rich anyways/ lifestyle will roughly be the same anywhere in the finance rat race? Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Bingo. Even core plus capital is relatively scarce right now. cpgame
+2 Feel bad for you bro. Insane how 20x repeat violent offenders get to roam around but you get in trouble with the law for a textbook university prank.   Intern in IB-M&A
+2 This resonated w/ me because  in a normal workplace this is one of those things that's just a mistake and no biggie but there's an off chance the analyst will take it personally. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 I mostly agree, but I’d frame it differently. Burke
+2 Hi ! I’m posting under various discussions in hopes to get my post seen. I would very much appreciate any advice anyone can share! Fragilis_C
+2 Cove Hill has historically been known to be a very tough place to work, hours wise. Looking on LinkedIn, exits seems good and have heard that the comp is above market.  Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 This is extremely on point. I saw the same trend and moved from IB to corp dev to head of finance. Corp dev got me foot in the door and I pivoted immediately to strategic finance & fp&a. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 So I used that in the headliner but I actually don’t care about it at all, even a little. I’m more concerned that if I leave for a worse analyst, then corporate and buy side recruiting could get harder. BabylonLine
+2 it's not worth it. career success is pretty random. there are plenty of people who're working insane hours and ruining their health for $100-300k and get laid off eventually anyway. Kevin25
+2 Can add to this as an Emory student who placed into BB. Lots of people I know got offers who are not in so called top clubs and had no nepo. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Fair points. But on the residential side, housing shortage is really a proxy discussion for population growth (ie. JPN does not have a housing shortage). Developer in RE - Comm
+2 Georgetown likely has the strongest on campus recruitment scene for Wall Street if working in the US is your end goal.  Strong OCR makes your job hunt exponentially easier. COO in HF - Event
+2 Thanks, appreciate the insights. I have accepted the travel as a necessary shortfall of the job. Definitely wouldn't want to be doing that with a family, so I would cross that bridge when I get there. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+2 terra879have to get creative and have a broad reach.  translation: have to be cowboy as fuck with your pro forma montauk scumbag
+2 Bezos and musks are still slaves. They are just like everyone else performing for other peoples approval and shit. No reason to put them on a pedestal. They are very insecure like the rest of us. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 I was waiting for someone to make a post about this. The pictures are insane and look so dumb, but I might be egotistical enough that if someone wanted to interview me I might have trouble saying no  Zyns_And_Excel
+2 ok the difference is quite big from 3.9 to 3.6/3.5. it'll def come across as suspicious for background checks etc. honestly at this point, gpa is out of your control. network is the only way you can make it in. blueberry_muffin123
+2 Follow your passion. You’ll be happier and if you go on to be an airline pilot for one of the big boys you’ll make good money. AngelOfMusic
+2 Thanks for sharing your experience and I'm sorry to hear. I've also taken a career break so this is really pertinent for me, although mine is from PE. Can I ask: Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 I think you should just recruit for post-MBA roles broadly (for those with prior PE experience). The actual title comes down to moreso firm-specific lingo and org structure. SaaSChimp
+2 Unfortunately I think the real answer to this is firm dependent. I’m at a fund around the size you’ve described and we have an analyst program. VP in PE - LBOs
+2 Did you go to a target school. I have a hard time believing this.  bestman222
+2 essketitcuh Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 Among the larger names in your fund size range, think most of the younger funds are less bloated at the mid-levels just based on linkedin than some of the older funds in that 4-5bn fund size range (comparing to a THL or Ch Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+2 Barclays notorious for very old school culture (think drugs, heavy alcohol, misogyny, face time). MS similar but to a lesser extentDB a few bad apples at the senior level but overall ok Intern in IB - Cov
