+2 If you’re looking for the best digital marketing agency in Faridabad, a few local and NCR-based teams often come up, but one I’d personally recommend checking out is thavertech. satyammishra
+2 Nah Canadian firms aren't. We consider Canada to be far too polite which means Canadian interns are often never told when they're wrong and pick up bad habits which are hard to break from--- nutmegger189

+2 Asset Mgmt: helpfulBanking : not worth the time Murphy_1827
+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 For banks that have a team specifically for your school, you NEED to talk to them. Unless you have a referral from an MD or sometimes banks have a system where a referral from anyone is enough for a HireVue. Prospect in IB-M&A

+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 Thanks for your detailed reply, very kind of you. Some context on why I'm leaning LO over the MM offer. HKmonki

+2 Bruh.. No. It's like coming to a knife fight with a French fry Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Honestly, as management styles differ significantly between people/banks/teams, I always give the advice of never asking the same question twice (bring a notebook with you and write important information down), nor asking TargetToNonTarget

+2 Age: Upper 30s YOE: 16ish years  Current Role/Title: Principal, LMM PE, Tier 2/3 city Total Cash Comp: ~$450K all-in  Married with some kids Capitol86
+2 yeah it's BS you can grind your way into a target school, grind your way into a top club and a 4.0 gpa and they won't even have a convo with you. Clubs are competitive too so I doubt he's socially incompetent. Intern in IB - Cov
+2 A P&L doesn't balance out to RE,. Net Income sits on the balance sheet in the equity section until it rolls into RE at the end of the fiscal year. So RE is prior years Net Income (earnings).  cragfar

+2 Not the OP but talked to some friends about this recently and think both markets are just there to co-exist. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Periph is for prey animals… genetic adaptation to see threats. You tunnel-vision mogged him and he’s doing a classic beta prey diversion. Philly Special
+2 Excellent movie - in terms of space movies i think it's up there.  something like interstellar & 2001 space odyssey high 8 low 9s, would give PHM a high 7 / low 8  MnIGuy
+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 Ppl shitting on this guy has no context. PJT M&A operates on wide industry clusters which they call pods. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 London based, so this may not be applicable but moves to deals/TS are typically only considered after qualification at most firms, which would be after 3 years, otherwise you spend too much time out studying. ACATS
+2 I have heard 5 days to 2 weeks for this which is def long. I’ll update as well but I don’t think anyone has heard back for any track NonTargetBanana12
+2 It's technically possible and has been done. IB is fairly degree agnostic provided your university is high enough quality. It certainly would be possible from Oxbridge or something. nutmegger189

+2 Prospect in IB-M&AWhat platform have you tried for AI partners? YourMom.AI CRE
+2 I don’t go for boss babes, but this guy gets it. Don’t listen to the other simps in the comments. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Depends on the boutique - if one of the dime a dozen cannabis ECM bucket shops no, if something like an Osprey or Blair Franklin most likely Search Fund Enthusiast

+2 Fully agree with this. While not “revolutionary / change the world smart”, objectively MM/UMM/MF PE seniors are among the most “traditionally” smart ppl in the world. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 No company really prefers chap 7 these days. everybody has a lme or two in them. Management obviously doesnt want to get fired or lose control of the company during chap7 and probably has equity that would get wiped out. Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr
+2 Market is tough. I know so many people who are in similar situations. MonopolyMoney
+2 I don’t think it really makes sense to focus on a Top 20 list as such and you need to split between America / Europe. LevFin Lab Newsletter
+2 TD screenings started, could be rolling hereyehereye

+2 Thanks for doing this - super super helpful.  claudealtman
+2 I’d go Booth. Alum of neither but have met some great people coming out of there. In terms of your career hopes, prop trading no longer exists within BBs after Dodd Frank so if not at a quant shop it’ll be unlikely. breakinentry
+2 They are taking ~20m and leveraging it 12x? That seems pretty crazy.. 8% drawdown and you’re wiped out. Unless you’re running extremely tight (not real investing) this seems very hard to manage.  NA in IB-M&A

+2 I hear Venezuela is looking for a new President The Fool of Finances
+2 Not sure I fully agree with this take. Secondaries is inherently an investment role on the buyside. Anything that involves committing capital and underwriting risk means you’re investing. asdfg123_
+2 The key is to go for highly uncorrelated assets that, in a blended portfolio insulate you from various market risks.  In order of position size my portfolio is largely: Determined
+2 what are you talking about Prospect in IB-M&A
+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 CB → LevFin is a common path; CB → IB coverage is less so. Aim to lateral after your first year, although waiting two years is perfectly acceptable. Senior VP in IB - Cov
+2 I wouldn't get another degree for 'prestige' solely. The masters does sound related to your goal, but I'm unconvinced of its benefit given you already went to Harvard (i.e. bobzen
