+2 The Armis deal was pretty nice, they seem to be ServiceNow's bank too now  Intern in IB - Gen
+2 The most Indian 4 -5 bn fund size firm isn't even LG, it's Haveli. Haveli is founded by an Indian-American so the main guy is also Indian unlike LG. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 There’s nothing holding you back from doing random internships during semester before going FT. rolo25
+2 if your family income qualifies, QuestBridge should be the first thing you look into this fall. OFFERGOBLIN
+2 If i were you i would change your resume address to Chicago, and focus on applying to market rate associate roles in Chicago (middle market, wherever). Find an alumni connection in ER to talk to for every application. arbjunkie
+2 Choose the platinum and use it for everything. It’s more expensive and not nearly as good as the gold for daily driving but makes up for it with an increased clout buff around women. Amazon Prime
+2 This is not true - virtually every single Canadian SA over the last few cycles received a return. I only remember one Women's Program pipeline intern from back in 2022 not receiving it because she was awful Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Not sure what you expect from lenders, special servicers or the borrowers here. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+2 Nothing worse than having a Canadian accent. You should be fine.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+2 DEI CAN HELP, BUT NOT TO THE SAME EXTENT IT'S SET OUT TO BE. reddemon
+2 LMM lending does almost always have real covenants, minimal threat of destructive LME, and better attachment points. CPDDOUGH

+2 this attitude is exactly why majority of businesses fail unprofitably. deelcheef
+2 damn im poor MidwestBankr
+2 Didn’t give me an interview a couple years ago when I was struggling to lateral and now I’m somewhere hot. Spitting Hennessy on their grave flipcup
+2 I've left the country since initially commenting on this thread, one of the last in my circle to do so. The country is quite clearly in a downwards spiral and on its way towards ethnic conflict. RestartIt
+2 I don't agree the question. It makes sense for anyone to pursue a career in anything if they're early in their career and/or have the relevant experience. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+2 Not as pronounced in banking but HYP, especially Harvard, places lights out for top buy-side roles sourcesanduses
+2 was he in ibw though? vermillion235
+2 I generally don't think any bank will outright replace a lot of people with Ai. usernameladiesman217
+2 Do you have a true passion for medicine or is this just a "sort of interested" situation where you'll read medical articles when you're having your Saturday morning coffee. Nobody Man
+2 Don’t care at all about AUM. If I get a fat enough bank account, I’m retiring.  CRE
+2 Studios usually go for a prettier penny than flatshares per head. So let’s say the average studio in Holborn goes for 2.2-2.3, he should be able to find a 2b1b for 1.7-1.8 per head. stayfrosty1337
+2 Maybe, by the time the next analyst class comes in or after that, it might be reflected. The people there right now are probably fine, given trends/how early recruiting is. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Any insight on Audax / boston based UMM Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs

+2 This tier list smells of RNEF Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 AI slop ContangoMan
+2 I've noticed the same too - was talking to someone who used to be in the program that said some girl got into the program after lying about attending Wharton for undergrad (she went to school in Australia and did a semeste link985
+2 So my read through from this comment is that the firm has a bad culture and processes, or that you’ve been pushed to your complete limit and snapped, maybe both. LendingFanatic1
+2 Did PowerPoint kill white collar work? Did excel kill the VP? Have lawyers been replaced yet? Or even accountants for that matter? As long as the answer is no then nothing will really happen.  VP in PE - LBOs
+2 Sounds like a terrible idea if I’m being honest. Work is just work, nothing fulfilling aside from what you’re able to do for your family and others with the income. Amazon Prime
+2 I ran a white label for about 18 months before switching to turnkey. Janet best
+2 Assuming the conversation goes well, you can say something like "I'd love to work for you over the summer" or something to that effect. tenthbox
+2 Honestly agree. Same with these weird creepy OSG Asians. Both Canadians and OSG has backed EVR. I go to HYP and tons of people didn’t even get interviews with stellar profiles. Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Agree.  This is the use case for PC.  DDTL and relatedly for the sub scale assets.  But I would also argue that this is another form of lower quality/something the borrower should pay for. CPDDOUGH
+2 He shot her with his hand through the window. Whatever else happened doesn't matter, this is disproportionate action and murder. mingming77
+2 UBS LevFin. All the group does all day every day is long internal credit memos that are heavily templated. There are good PC exits, but who wants to be in PC, which is blowing up right now? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 This list below largely holds true to SF banking, but some color to note is that Jefferies has no juniors based in SF and i believe that's the case as well for Guggenheim. The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
+2 Manager in CorpStrat phillyboy
+2 Anything on WCAS or Nordic? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+2 del frownjalyen
+2 Well no one cares Gainone1572
+2 This is a horrible take. Dow70K
+2 If you limit leverage to 70% on a 5 or 7 year tier 2 deal, Fannie gives a delegated pricing break. Each tier (and term) has quoted credit fee ranges which are 40 wide and consist of the G&S fees. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+2 This probably makes the most sense given what my skillset is. With that said, I don't handle securitized products. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Associate 2 in PE - LBOsAt my firm you keep your vested carry.It would be outrageous to lose your vested portion when leaving.. VP in PE - LBOs
+2 What's going on at MS? Why not closer to JPM / GS? Bout2FUTW

+2 Dr. Pepper is the master beverage PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+2 Beggars can’t be choosers. local_finance_bro
+2 The typical red flags: blow ups, jr/sr turnover, withdrawals / difficulty fundraising, biz model transition (e.g. distressed -> CLO), lack of transparency when recruiting DBLBonds
+2 would highly recommend that everyone recruit out of bofa sooner than later if you plan to work in ib through your VP years. Analyst 3+ in Private Credit
+2 so you work at Fifth Wall, cool Principal in VC
+2 Harvard UG, Oxford MA monkeyvjit
+2 Nice post. User base on here now is populated with a bunch of broccoli headed 17 year olds who won’t get this and probably don’t care to try either!  VP in PE - LBOs
+2 University of Alaska, Anchorage lucien_de_montclair
+2 To bait successfully you should've at least made a new account lol. FYI to everyone reading this post: "Partner in PE - LBOs" posted in the Charlie Kirk thread trying to incite violence against liberals lol. Drew2_
+2 that's right, those students don't come to work in manufacturing, woodwork, etc., everyone is aiming for the fancy office jobs which is just part of the "bullshit" jobs economy and just depress wages for local candidates a GS under Blankfein
+2 Yes, and the reason I stopped being active on this forum. I think you're charitable in the types of posts you give as an example. Count WACCula
+2 Totally understand your concern. RevBuildRascal
+2 Klar has a very good reputation in Europe as a specialised mid market industrials firm. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 In the last academic year there were more than 1.1M intl. students in the US. And a large amount of them were planning on staying in the US permanently. E30
+2 “As an intern you have no rank, no rights. The only thing out of your mouth should be thank you sir! And yes sir!” Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+2 Honestly at junior level pretty interchageable from a firm perspective so focus on where the best opportunity: i.e supporting soveriengn strat better than jr economist for CEE imho etc etc. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+2 First of all your terminology is off, I believe you mean lateraling/rerecruiting ft, reneg means you sign an offer, get an offer somewhere else and sign that offer in the same cycle. Intern in IB - Cov
+2 Ask your friends at wells how many got on-cycle offers a few weeks ago, you can also look at exits from last year for both banks and you can see who clearly placed better (even from some groups that would be considered wea Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+2 I do think the skillet is portable. Institutional investing is pretty damn formulaic outside of sector-specific knowledge in my opinion. Not very bullish on PE broadly so considering a bigger pivot. Assistant in Research - Other
+2 I worked at PJT/EVR RX in NY and know people who have worked in both Chicago groups. In Chicago, Lazard is undoubtedly the better office for culture and exits at the analyst level. In New York, I’d pick HL. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+2 Overworking yourself with interview prep might not b3 the way to go neither  Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+2 . Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Out of the ones you applied to, I would say that UCL and Durham are the ones to target, followed by Bristol and then Exeter. All are excellent schools tho, with some EBs hiring mainly from a single school (e.g. A100090
+2 bananajoe47 Analyst 1 in PE - Growth
+2 Why should I recruit at a bank with terrible leadership and terrible pay Prospect in IB - Cov
+2 Yes, 100%. rolo25
+2 asking for an empirical proof lmao. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+2 My understanding was BAML had the best REIB franchise in the business, but it’s been years and maybe that’s changed. Partner in RE - Comm
+2 I would say #2, which is basically restructuring advisory work at its core and involves corporate finance principles - both of which will develop a strong skillset for a BB Restructuring/Lev Fin group placement. johnny_quest007
+2 It’s funny because the issues extend way beyond the academy.  NA in IB-M&A
+2 Poor reputation across the street, would never advise anyone to work here. Research Associate in HF - Event
+2 Went through the process for LO shops for FT as a non-target, reddemon
+2 Hi Aaron, really appreciate you taking the time to do this. I've recently developed a real interest in the space - particuarly power trading. I'm London based. Director in CorpStrat
+2 Think there are lots of existing threads on this? Associate 3 in AM - Equities

+2 Indians, Chinese, Koreans generally have no integrity (compared to Americans) and will cheat and sabotage  Intern in IB - Gen

+2 Heard from a friend that 1st year is about $320-$330K all in and 2nd year on is $400K+ nicolasronson

+2 UVA Florida and CMC are pushing Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 When was your spd? After a week I would call it NTIB
+2 Communicate to him/her these concerns. If they are receptive of the feedback and improves, they should be fine Intern in IB - Gen
+2 Search around on here as there are plenty of posts on the topic and all of those are highly variable depending on the seat. VP in PE - LBOs
+2 Yeah I think fit is probably the thing if you're getting to that many superdays but just not converting but you could be just unlucky too. Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 Would not do cap markets roles. Especially if the group does not hold pen on the modeling, it seriously limits your exits. unkcptl
+2 Generally agree with comment above with caveat that it is a tactical vs large B/S (e.g not known to take RCF holds, and B/S used for selective deals or acquisition financing). Associate 1 in IB-M&A
