Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+2 Have you heard of crypto ? pbandjpartners
+2 Just browsing Linkedin you can see that EVR exits every year to 2-3 MF and some UMM funds in the last 2 years. Imo it’s great exits for a class of ~30. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 It doesn’t seem to make much sense to me. You are earning good money, seem to be exposed to transactions, and you have a clear path to Head of M&A. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+2 Holy Ross cope jesus. Every ross student astroturfing their school in these comments is insane. In no world is Ross better at placements or the quality of students the same.  Prospect in IB - Cov
+2 I doubt the title of 'dating' means as much to her as it does to you. You sure you're the only guy she's shagging while on her hippie free love escapade in your 'long distance' relationship? Singlebysunday
+2 Agreed. Dealmaking and salesmanship will always require a human element. ojapar20
+2 stockbondanalystThe “group” and fast money is usually right most of the time though. PM in HF - EquityHedge
+2 Depends on what your assumptions are. If you’re projecting constant margins and the co doesn’t operate in a capex heavy space, my intuition is that EBIT projections might just be fine. pants_pooper_67
+2 Project Finance and asset backed lending (commercial banking) have decent WLB and pay. Project Finance a bit more intense in periods, but you would still get 8 hours of sleep most nights if you prioritized that.  QuiltEmerson
+2 London same as NYC? Or do they get the Europoor discount 350k looks aligned to PE team numbers as well Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Thx for the input. Actuary seems like the definition of pigeonholing tbh RestIess
+2 Not many that teach you the fundamentals of biotech investing. The SMID cap biotech sector is really driven by clinical catalysts — no book will teach you how to interpret clinical data and investor expectations. Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+2 why are you even ranking non-m&a teams like ecm let alone putting them in A lmao SOFRsoGood
+2 JEF Hou lost its ability to pay people post covid and has never been the same since. Go look at how many associates / VPs / SVPs they have left and that tells you all you need to know. jejdjco
+2 Tbh I think you're wrong. I think the democratisation of information and globalisation has opened up a path to low level riches for many young people without requiring them to be a celebrity. nutmegger189
+2 Quick update - just shipped v1.0.2 with two things people asked for: PEPath97
+2 I think your instinct tells you that being in PE or working insane hours will not allow you sufficient time for dating. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 West Coast here, just chiming in that this has also happened to me multiple times. Recruiters and hiring managers acting so friendly just to ghost out of nowhere. It's actually really nice to know I'm not alone. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+2 You're on the right track with the 1-pagers. twisterkid88
+2 The biggest shift from early-stage to growth equity is that you're underwriting a business that's supposed to have already demonstrated product-market fit. twisterkid88
+2 I think there's a difference between disliking sourcing and disliking the particular seat you're in. twisterkid88
+2 Except you can afford it, Scarsdale (median home price $1.5 Million). You don’t care about people who are really struggling, you’re just a racist little troll.  GordonGekko87
+2 Thank you, Looking back at my original post, I now realize it makes no fucking sense, lmao.  Prospect in Risk Mnmgt
+2 What’s the number you heard? I heard at least this year is good and for sure is better than GS Associate 1 in PE - Other
+2 I mean if the kid's being falsely accused and doxxed, it makes sense he'd take down his LinkedIn. Granted, the same could be said even if the allegations were true. Intern in IB-M&A
+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 GordonGekko87Maybe most young people are brain-dead morons high on TikTok propaganda  CRE
+2 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the reason is bc they've got an uncapped modified OT structure, so something like if you bill 1800 hours a year at $425, as an analyst, with like $89k base, your bonus is 1800 Associate 1 in IB - Restr
+2 20-30% total comp premium is the standard expectation at that level. Base will be comparable across BBs — the real negotiation is a guaranteed first-year bonus to cover what you're leaving on the table. greenlithq
+2 bold of you to assume op hasn't tried that yet himself Intern in CorpStrat
+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 Even actuary is the perfect job mentally stimulating without the long hours Earnout33
+2 MBA was one of the best things I have done, but I would lean to not enter one in this environment re job market and AI. Parn0n
+2 Internet is always full of WW advocates. Ignore them and go to LSE. Thank me later. Gainone1572

+2 What are you applying for? While your experience is interesting, as someone else said it's not particularly targeted. nutmegger189
+2 KeyBanc is paradise Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 The honest truth is yes, it will be something taken into account. Anonymous Monkey
+2 I bootstrapped, scaled/sold some businesses in this size range and now run a few business upstream. I would NEVER do it again. I only did it because I had to lol. If I had a trad finance background I'd: m_1
+2 Equity research Good balance of pay, time and longevity Earnout33
+2 i feel the point on avoiding baking but for someone who doesn’t want to code/be a SWE what are the other top $$$ outcomes? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Were you ever interested in the IB route or even S and T/ER? RestIess
+2 Can't help too much with an extensive list of firms, but make sure you check out the 800lb gorilla in town. Greystar does more than just multi (especially now with how shit market rate multi is).  CRE
+2 Hmm RestIess
+2 $250k for a first year is very possible, though I would not say it's common. Based off of my own billing rate and the percentage I got of billable, I would not have had to work 60 hours a week to hit that figure in TC. Anonymous RX Associate
+2 Happy to help man.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Coming from an FLDP (promo)> Business Analyst at a well known financial services firm, typically those higher than average roles have a lot more give than traditional banking. Analyst 1 in CorpStrat
+2 Damn lol, that is amazing. If you don't mind me asking, how many months/years were you in the IB job before leaving and was it your first job out of school?  Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+2 Have not landed a PE gig yet, but have spoken candidly with mentors at several of the firms you are referencing about these topics, and here is a summary of their answers: Analyst 1 in Consulting
+2 It just isn’t worth it to stick it out as a junior anymore. zoo84
+2 format varies by year and office so treat this as what people have reported, not a guarantee. LedgerShelf
+2 I tell the interviewer what I pitched, the key debates we were trying to answer, and where we fell short/could’ve done better and emphasized that each case helped me learn X and Y (which if you actually did them, shouldn’t zoo84

+2 I'm so glad to see that someone agrees with me on this. Moritz Mickelweiß
+2 Where's BGL Tel Aviv? Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+2 spoke to some people there and they were actually pretty douchey. also sweatshop that doesn't pay enough for hours worked or time you will spend in atl traffic Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 If you can maintain your GPA (and sanity) while doing both, I think it's additive and differentiated for PE recruiting. SaaSChimp
+2 Some of the workload comments are false because I know some of the girls on that team and they always seem to be travelling / on vacation [email protected]
+2 In terms of consideration for IB there's oxbridge, lse, Imperial undergrads at the top.  Then there msc finance grads from these schools along with EU targets (HEC, Bocconi, Escp etc.) Analyst 3+ in AM - FI
+2 I am similar. Twenty-two. I'll tell you about it maybe it helps. Dgjauwvwbsj

+2 Providing for family and being in a position to help others.  Anonymous Monkey
+2 Check out Henderson Park and South Street Partners. Henderson actually backs South Street on a lot of their development deals. Beach Company also seems to have a pretty diverse portfolio. Fidel-CashFlow
+2 My take as a recent MBA grad - In this economy and that pedigree, do not do an MBA. It only makes sense nowadays if you want to make a drastic career pivot. And you don't fall in that boat. Business School in CorpStrat
+2 Energy Houston- top m&a group at ever  wolfonyallstreet
+2 Disagree. PE recruiting in this market is bad enough as is. Combined with no US experience and needing sponsorship, chances of making it is slim. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 In similar boat. Right now trying to lateral but the VP lateral market as you are aware is weak. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 The problem is ultimately that the HF commodities industry and PE commodities industries look at things very differently. For HFs, it's all about the spread. usernameladiesman217
+2 I’ve used Feasibility.pro on multiple projects, and it’s definitely more than just a convenience layer. AbdulShamim1
+2 Also in the Big Pharma space. I think the move to HC IB is feasible, but ideally after an MBA to land an MBA Associate role. Director in CorpStrat
+2 It's absolutely cooked, and the good news is you recognized it early enough.  Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+2 The advice that I would give is don't get too down that you're underwriting a lot off deals and not doing many. That's the name of the game right now. mahmood.farhan
+2 Aim for FLDP programs. F500 offerings are quite competitive, good salary, and good wlb relative to IB  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Hey man, reality is you're going to face difficult personalities and conflict all through your career. Learning to deal with these is part of your learning and journey.  Rabbit
+2 Canadian finance landscape is nothing but handouts for women. Yes, women mostly white though. Out of 50% seats earmarked for DEI, 40%+ are allocated to them.  Executive Director in IB-M&A
+2 Given the niche market most firms hire by word of mouth before posting.  MallRedevs

+2 If you're really certain you want to do high finance, idk why you're only considering transferring to GT. Presumably you're an in state kid ergo hope/zell = uga/gt free and everywhere else costs money. Intern in IB - Cov
+2 They made him run with it but all the fuck ups associated with that group belong to big man moynihan. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs

+2 Finding people who share a hobby has helped me stay dedicated. Greenspan's Panties

+2 With all due respect, I think it's different for analysts vs PMs.  Investment Analyst in S&T - Other
+2 You have options. Get a masters from a top school, go FP&A and lateral, MBA route. At 21, I didn’t have an internship at all. At 24 I’m at a MM bank in a Credit LevFin role. Take a step back, go on a walk. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 No, my old PM gave me a reference and thus, BD had the higher ground since I was out of a job. Yes the offer was pulled for that team and there was no room on the other pods from what I was told. Investment Analyst in S&T - Other
+2 I'm now going to rest up before anything. I didn't mention this in the original post. I was actually in a situation last year where I accepted an offer and the PM left before I started. Investment Analyst in S&T - Other

+2 This is a declining industry on the wrong side of change that is perfectly competitive where incumbents have almost no moat. Works at Citadel Investment Group
+2 Recruiting success is not correlated with job success. Lots of people do 3rd years in IB to continue recruiting and eventually break into PE. Your situation is not uncommon.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 Correct.  Lots of idle rich or people who 'made it' elsewhere and relocated for lifestyle. asmith_1
