+2 Agree if you mean the M&A league tables rather than going to some debt mill like bnp or MUFG Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr
+2 I have been on WSO for five years, and every year, people spread rumors about low ROs. Guggenheim’s New York office had a return-offer rate of approximately 70% last year, but it was close to 95% this year. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+2 damn im poor MidwestBankr
+2 Rialto's business plan revolves around keeping borrowers in default by weaponized incompetence. Never met a competent employee there.  larrysellers

+2 I wouldnt say the path is close - if it is a commercial role then you still can break in - grad programmes are usually just a more straight forward path. heyNK
+2 Don't forget his speshul buddy Ozymandia is there to back him up! hedgehog9
+2 golub is a MM/UMM flow shop so they’ll compete against Ares/Apollo on the high end and Antares/MidCap on the lower/MM end. I’ve heard comp is great and people like working there. Associate 1 in Private Credit
+2 Many O&G research teams are in TX, usually Houston. I know RBC has a team in Austin. I haven’t heard of any teams in Dallas. Unless you want to do O&G/Energy, I think it will be tough.  TheKid51

+2 I was in a similar position at one point, interviewed everywhere I could get a meeting--consulting, PE, VC, banking, and private credit. blackberrymint
+2 Why do I see a new UBS hate post every week on this thread? Is this just one jaded ex-analyst that made 20 different WSO accounts just to post and hype himself up. It's getting tiring T_Dog
+2 Just to clarify, you’re saying that it’s annoying that transfer students are working harder than you to place? You just sound like a loser. Maybe try harder and stop complaining. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+2 Correct. You can confirm this with most DEI disclosures put out by banks. Asian / Brown / Arab men are not DEI.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Depends on the school and the Msc. Some Msc are almost as regarded as the PGE and others are not. If you do Msc Finance then you will be fine, PGE is better but for AM you will be fine. goriecs

+2 Very informative read. Thanks for putting this together. Broker in IB - Cov
