+2 This you? LOL anon1019
+2 I don't fully disagree with you, but there is a huge amount of luck and an unbelievable level of grit/purpose needed to get into MBB. Those without full rides aren't given that level of flexibility.  Intern in Consulting
+2 larrysellers Ozymandia
+2 I love you Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 I work at the firm but am not answering this because you listed “prestige” as one of the criteria VP in IB - Cov
+2 if you have the money why don't you look into the Mfin programs at princeton or MIT? since you have no relevant experience, optimal way to break in would be through an internship vs. Investment Analyst in HF - Event

+2 Lot of things could go wrong here. IMO the easiest part of this is getting the tall girl. That said I think you should be careful choosing to have children that are too tall. Raijin
+2 You have what?? Intern in IB - Gen
+2 Ignore title. Living in Clapham now and really enjoying it. Nice park, decent schools (both private and public), plenty of nice shops and restaurants on Northcote road. BridgeHampton
+2 My RX interviews were leaps and bounds harder then any of my BB or MM interviews. My wells and barc interviews were a joke no technicals at all, HL RX and EVR made me cry. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 No I don't do this but I actually have that memory IRL. Constantly dealing with people shocked and taken back about off hand comments I can recall. Raijin
+2 Same here, except for me it was BNP Paribas... the guy interviewing me started the interview by saying "let's just get this over with quick" and it was a nightmare from there Moronic_Monkey
+2 oh boy! Intern in IB - Cov
+2 on weekend everyone wants to sleep rather than replying to you mate Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+2 Most finance clubs will keep interview banks and some even create guides. Try reaching out / joining them to get access to more Qs marketsigma
+2 I agree with most of this outside of your part b. I've worked at late stage startups / unicorn + smaller corporations that had startup environments and I learned a ton. Business School in CorpStrat
+2 in the most sweaty groups yes. Did the math for a friend at WF SA which has the same 53$ an hour. 40 hours at 53 for 9 weeks is just over 19k. Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr

+2 Truist is known for LevFin / Product groups. LevFin team doesn’t model per se, more about syndication. Exits are all over the place but mostly lateraling to better banks, MM P/E and PC. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 We refers to other college students like me who have spent their time time trying to recruit into finance instead of tech. Can't be that hard to pick it up Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 HFs tend to be "absolute return", son. The most relevant benchmark you can measure them against is a basket of other HFs with a similar strategy. By definition, a majority can't outperform the (low) average. MMPM
+2 Just heard from a friend who got the Mercor SPL offer and I'm currently interviewing for the same role. Comp is not 180k.  Intern in Legal
+2 Got the offer Intern in IB-M&A
+2 I think I found the UBS bull (Associate 1 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+2 What a beautiful thread. Best of luck man, I’m in a similar boat you’re not alone. I try to remember that you can only fail when you stop trying! Mr. Moe
+2 Exit opps include corp dev, LMM/MM PE (Linden, Waud, JLL), and have seen laterals to BBs and EBs. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 But also to add, the GRE is actually the easier test to take to get into b-school, so recommend you take that instead cause if you get a lower score (e.g., somewhere below the school average), business schools are more wil FinanceDudeBro
+2 Would they get rid of product groups all together and redistribute them into coverage groups as specialists? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Agree completely. I think above commenter is backwards and honestly sounds like someone who hasn’t spent much time in the seat. 67676767
+2 These LTM numbers from The Deal are completely different. rolo25
+2 Lower-tier prestige version of this question, but Wharton vs Columbia ($$$)? Does the potential for things like the Value Investors Program or anything like that make a difference? SearchLookFind
+2 I'd recommend sticking it out at least a year and then re-evaluating. PEanon
+2 A&M RX is in its own league and will probably give you better exits than LMM IB, specifically if you’re looking to exit to a distressed shop. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Next week is probably as good a time as any given week before Labour Day, which is always pretty calm. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Nah, you’re purely a document execution monkey. WestCoastBestCoasttt

+2 I go to the gym 4x a week for (2.5 hours each time). NewIndustryHorizon

+2 I feel you, sir. alice.in.financeland
+2 Why are interns so bad at understanding how the world works? Imagine trusting the garbage data on TipRanks lol Benson Says
+2 financeabc NoEquityResearch
+2 Anytime I’ve gotten an internship it’s been from networking. A80A90
+2 What are you expecting to learn? In my own experience, the young people who learn the most the fastest are the ones who seek out mentors and try to demonstrate why they're worth training.  usernameladiesman217
+2 T1D who did multiple internships in banking. There are a few things I would recommend:  Transparency: Be transparent with your deal team.  Associate 3 in CorpDev
+2 why are you lying about your gpa?  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Echo a comment above about its hard to cost cut your way to growth. Hags28
+2 If you can’t decide I figure the tie should go to PE given it’s kinda banking 2.0.  Hags28
+2 The numbers you just spewed out imply you have no idea how MMHF / pod shops work.  The comparable product is not SPY, and the performance is not 50%. qnt12345
+2 Prospect, this isn’t rocket science. The point of the internship is to learn these things. As an Analyst your Job is to execute a process well and with minimal mistakes, which is what the internship converts into. davani1420
+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 Congrats on skyknight  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 All I know is BofA M&A is on a downturn Prospect in HF - Macro
+2 PE returns are already at the threshold where it doesn't make sense to have an allocation as the returns are pretty much in line with public equity and you get the illiquidity going along with it....only reason the party i hedgehog9
+2 If you are going buyside, BofA because you’ll get paid more those years. Staying on as associate go Citi because the deal flow is a little better. They brought in rainmakers in every coverage group.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+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 I think these situations are pretty interesting. Using your example, sure AI will eventually do the work of making pretty slides. VP in PE - LBOs
+2 Begin looking to leave immediately. Long term success in PE is almost exclusively a product of meshing culturally with your team, having upward mobility, and not burning out. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 My gf works at large US PC shop, MDs make $1.5-$3.0m pre-carry Principals start at $800k Works at PJT Partners

+2 Sorry you didn’t break into banking lil bro nontargetmarket
+2 Intern in IB-M&A James' Bond
+2 That's a good question. If you've been in PE, you know the cookie cutter profile that most PE shops are looking for especially in NYC. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+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 On weekend…end of August…just prior to LDW… Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+2 I know nothing about Savills here in the US other than they do a lot on the tenant and leasing side of things. I thought they have a pretty strong team in London for Capital Markets? Or am I wrong? Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+2 WLB: both suck ass unless you are DB/UBS M&A Comp: EVR Learning: EVR due to lean team and you are doing the job of two (coverage + M&A) for one Relocation: BB Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Hey I just wanted to quickly ask you about  marketMergerMaddie
+2 That seems low for Private Credit. Is this a PM role? Analyst 1 in Private Credit
+2 If your goal is to start a search fund with 1/2 partners and grow into LMM and then MM. MBA would be beneficial to help fundraise/find your partners.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 . IB Intern in IB-RX
+2 Dude I'd probably take the bank offer. You can always do commodities operations later.The people doing commodities operations are often older, and may end up doing the job for a while.  msdixie
