+2 You could probably easily transition into IR at your current fund. VP in PE - LBOs

+2 MBA guy 98 CRE
+2 Don’t understand why ppl are so entitled. Like you are asking an otherwise complete stranger (who are incredibly busy) for their time and a job. Getting ghosted should be the base assumption. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 I’m an HBS grad working in finance (both pre and post MBA). I’d take HBS without thinking twice. I took full loans of $220k which I have $50k left on after 2 years—still had plenty to invest while paying down. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+2 On_The_Edge flakeyassfriends

+2 I was in your shoes once. Sounds very similar to how I got my start. DEVMGMT Consultant

+2 Lorna has been sent on leave by JPM  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+2 stop shilling your stupid app tino you made fucking a month ago.... Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 Not about number at all, did 100 and got 5 interviews (ultimately landing at lower BB), main thing is finding who the decision maker is and getting close to them. Intern in IB - Gen

+2 Bump EPchange
+2 Thanks for the response. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs

+2 How exactly is aligning logos and running Excel models going to help you becoming an astronaut? Green Zeus
+2 "small sector not my main coverage", "PM / HR don’t care.". There you go you have your answer. Either: Quant in HF - Other
+2 Not sure what your title is (can’t see) but I would strongly argue that unless you are a principal or higher I would not expect to get any really meaningful MIP at a portco. Boomer99
+2 Hmm, I don't think you're screwed necessarily but definitely behind. One thing that actually might help you is hirevues. johnb2001
+2 Did the superday this time last year (no offer tho, only 2/16 kids in spd got one). Lot of behaviorals, why Baird, why Milwaukee (huge emphasis on if you really want to be in Milwaukee long term). Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 Flow is basically a firm that relies on volatility being high. They do exceptionally well when it is high(Covid was a huge year for them) and haven't really been doing as well since then. usernameladiesman217
+2 Have a few friends in the analyst program, and personally work in MF tech investing. It’s very sink or swim. If you’re well liked by a partner or multiple partners, you will get excellent training and mentorship. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 No offer, even though I was way better than an MDs son Intern in IB - Cov

+2 Post is from last year but it's a good timing since I just went through this. Hanlon

+2 I think your perception is heavily influenced by social media and fitness influencers.  RedWhiteAndWho
+2 Go the GP route. You’ll see how the sausage is made. The LP route is great but it’s more - moving numbers on a screen. And then building relationships with GPs and your analyst moves numbers on a screen. pudding
+2 A math degree won't help you much. You don't learn really anything that is directly relevant. jl12
+2 I mean to be fair, ICE’s job is to target immigrants. TopBoy.-
+2 Much of that will get tied up in coinvest and won't be liquid. ~50% of my cash comp has gone to coinvest (or mandatory co-invest loan paydown) since I started in PE  TRJamesGatz

+2 Bro what? Intern in IB - Gen
+2 So is Mike Joo a fake banker that nobody respects as head of IB or is he an irreplaceable loss as our fearless leader? Can we pick a lane here? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Q: If I missed your window then don’t worry about responding. Did you ever get nervous at conferences and in group meetings where you were the only woman? If so how did you get over it? James' Bond
+2 Move is worth it. Reasonable ask for them to give you a sign on your compensate for some foregone bonus. Associate not happening. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+2 One thing I would add is the importance of documenting development phases properly. I have seen projects where the accounting treatment was not the issue. the lack of supporting documentation was. shawnyuan
+2 Also they’re so cheap they don’t even provide a work laptop and they got rid of free gym in the building so you have to pay a membership fee for it now. Also no free snacks everything is paid.  Intern in IB - Gen

+2 Tell us more about the return rumors. Are they cutting that many offers? AptmateWantedLA
+2 thegreatspoofing Associate 1 in IB-M&A
