Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+2 At Nine has the best Pad Kee Mao in the city but if you're going to be on 9th you'll ideally be a little higher up (46-57th would be better).  My first apartment was on 49th and 9th.  Was a perfectly fine start. CharlesCheese
+2 If you want to do REITs, then stick with REITs. If you don’t and just want to get a HF position, then branch out. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+2 Is Jeff group decided already or no? If a solid group then go there, otherwise WF Intern in IB - Gen
+2 What is this carry you speak of... Count_Chocula
+2 this will NOT fly at UBS (a top BB in case you forgot) We’ve got a policy that bans SA’s from being sick as hell and cool as fuck fingereater505
+2 Money means a tremendous amount when you don't have it. Welcome to the diminishing utility of capital. earthwalker7
+2 . Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 May Intern in IB - Gen
+2 Not to sound harsh, but Kelly has no brand. It is not viewed as a good school, even more so as masters programs go. OJDidntDoIt
+2 Analyst / Aso training has also declined so much  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 It might be how you're positioning it. Running a process is running a process, regardless of sell side/buy side. You are basically a transactional finance project manager at this stage. TechBanking
+2 The alum aren’t responsive, it should be lower spacemonkey1001
+2 Was in your position last year until I got a job, albeit I wasn’t gunning for IB. Time to go the mercenary route. Your GPA is great so no need to worry about school anymore. Research Associate in AM - FI
+2 The more time he spends behind bars the bigger my smile.  GordonGekko87
+2 Lateraling is extremely hard no matter where from. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 That’s what she said  Hags28
+2 you're a squid if you can't get in. i'm going to a top EB group for my sophomore -> junior summer (think PJT RSSG, GS TMT, Delmorgan & Co) Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 I think you should just recruit for post-MBA roles broadly (for those with prior PE experience). The actual title comes down to moreso firm-specific lingo and org structure. SaaSChimp
+2 I don't know. I've seen some deals that look amazing, but my lizard brain says anything that looks amazing has some risk you're not seeing. E.g. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+2 I mean the biggest risk is not getting into IBW. It's literally workshop or bust.  ducudvsb
+2 The cut is ~30% to 40%, and I do get the public sector style benefits, which are solid (pension, insurance, etc.). And yes, I’ve largely made up my mind about leaving. IPutTheRealInRE
+2 Mendoza's degree is from Haas btw  Intern in IB - Cov
+2 I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say biotech is more technical than any product group (barring rx) if you consider the breadth of actual diligence Summer Associate in HF - Event
+2 Some guys do it for the love of the game montauk scumbag
+2 It's always great to be a tech banker. These large corporates are sitting on so much cash they have no idea what to do with. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 No, because a big part of the job is getting access in the first place. VC returns are not long-tailed like in buyout and a handful of companies disproportionately drive outcomes. Analyst 3+ in VC
+2 Sure, no worries. RSM IBA is still recognized well by the top schools and top students place well into their MSc programs if you do well academically and have relevant internship experience. Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Lock in. Stop looking for pity. You have two months left. Make the most of it.  Prospect in IB - 5th Year
+2 Are we all fucked Intern in IB - Gen
+2 I like it from the perspective of OW. rolo25
+2 My thinking is that I could always go to PE associate program and if I don’t get VP promo, then go back to IB, while the other way around isn’t possible Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 This is probably the best take. VP in PE - LBOs
+2 My first job out of college was $45k base (I’m not that old). I lateraled to a higher paying firm a year after and made $130k. Smart people know to take low paying jobs when you’re fresh out of school to get experience. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+2 Sorry to hear about things going sideways. This is the reality of entrepreneurship, it feels like you "fail upwards" for your whole career. m_1
+2 Have a friend there: Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Congrats on Nolan. Ranked them way too high.  Mr. Disagreeable
+2 Not common but it does happen.  You for sure know enough about a product to trade it after having banked it for a couple of years, but that does not mean you would be a personality fit for trading. Director in S&T - FI
+2 This feels like it's pretty firm specific (where in the fund lifecycle you are, fundraising timeline, etc.) and if you got the promo from Principal to Partner you should probably be able to assess this. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+2 NOI margins are already high in CA due to lower fixed costs, particularly property tax (even before prop 13) and lower R&M costs vs. places like FL and TX.  Exec VP in RE - Other
+2 CRE CreditThis is only 3.5 years. What have you been doing for the other 2.5? Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+2 If a cash sweep is the case, I wouldn't simply calculate interest for five years on the initial debt balance. portelizabeth
+2 People didn’t leave because the culture or hours were materially worse than the rest of IBD — the turnover was, frankly, due to a mismatch in long-term interests. gnikyeknom
+2 I mean their acquisition team was like three dudes (all good guys), and I hate that for them, but it isn't exactly huge news. Count_Chocula
+2 Beautiful. Sad part is this is someone's life right now. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+2 Can’t lie this list is way off. Overeager high schoolers or freshmen looking to transfer, please do not take this to heart whatsoever Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 Prospect in IB - Gen TechBanking
+2 Stifel sucks KageSelly
+2 Thanks, appreciate the insights. I have accepted the travel as a necessary shortfall of the job. Definitely wouldn't want to be doing that with a family, so I would cross that bridge when I get there. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Thank you so much for the info! A few follow ups: Prospect in IB - Restr
+2 We did our first healthcare RE deal several years back and continues to run beautifully. Largely because the stickiness of the tenants. teddythebear

+2 Just made a somewhat similar transition! Billy Walsh
+2 Yibog
+2 A few a nuanced observations (more Exit focused and tailored towards Front Office IB roles in India): klpd_klpd
+2 I don’t get it. White men, least of all affected by DEI, whine all the time yet they forget they are the main enablers of DEI. Consultant in IB-M&A
+2 You can’t even get pretty much any finance jobs in Australia if you’re not Aussie/PR holders or from New Zealand so don’t ever bother thinking about that lol brtfedd1312
+2 in the same boat, waiting ReverendSwanson819
+2 Ignore title. At McK and you should choose JS. Total 1st year TC can be easily over 300k, whereas you make 130k at McK. Beware that return rates for JS is probably lower than 50%. But you can always re recruit. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 middilmiddilDo you want to spend the most intellectually formative years of your life surrounded by ….  retarded blonde sorority chicks ... easy choice. PM in HF - Event

+2 When you make the junior take 7-8 years to get past ASO level, the only ones who are going to stay are the ones who couldn't find a different job. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+2 My guess is if possible best to try to socialize / meet some of these people in person at company events and start with that. Hags28
+2 young-to-mid-20s, big city, USA, married (no kids), buy-side equities what is your general outlook on the world? Theosis
+2 Bingo. Even core plus capital is relatively scarce right now. cpgame
+2 Did my TI on the 17th Oct, received the invite for GCM AC today  la34m56
+2 I think you should hear back within this week if you've advanced  dbdbndfj
+2 Why Americans are always confusing GBP to USD lmao. You're just literally proving the dumb American stereotype being correct. FYI GBP is much stronger than USD lol brtfedd1312
+2 I’m glad you replied - thank you very much  swe2ibd
+2 What’s the difference in dollars between the two offers? patrick_bateman_
+2 Doing good work is way more important than “being social” lol. For the analysts who suck all the VP’s balls and try to get noticed, if u suck at the job, that’s what matters. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 Congrats on UBS! Intern in IB-M&A
+2 back office cucumbers189

+2 irrelevant Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+2 Complete waste of time  Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+2 No problem and happy to be helpful! Hmm, agreed that it's very irregular for an analyst to reach out to students. Maybe someone you are close to told them to reach out - I've rarely heard of this happening. johnb2001
+2 The NBF (NBCM?? who knows) erasure on here is disgraceful Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+2 If you are a PoC, avoid TD at any costs Bossman123
+2 Not sure if youre joking but if not then that's pretty cool. teddythebear
+2 There is a myriad of intrinsic assumptions across your stated pat, but I can agree that the first path (IB-PE-HF bounce around) probably has a higher EV and is more well trodden. rxconswarr
+2 Doesn’t make any sense. PaulAllen'sCorpse
+2 I think ACRE should get you in the door for 1. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+2 If you are serious about a long term marriage relationship with her then yes. If you just want a hookup then let me remind you of an old adage - “Don’t shit where you eat” Hags28
+2 Oil and Gas and not even close. There is literally a technical group within O&G investment banking that only churns out type curves, hedge book, and mapping Associate 1 in PE - Other
+2 Then go think again... Is there a white / asian guy with a better profile, that wasnt hired for these people? Would these people outperform the finance interested guys in your direct environment on the job? afdhfg
+2 kiltedlowlanderIt's especially frustrating if you're a Ron Paul/Milton Friedman type. You have no one to vote for.  dukeblue2019
+2 Most of the groups are not good…  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Where I did my summer at a top shop, it was clear Europeans were giving positive feedback for other Europeans and negatively grading British students (like you said, younger and didn't jump as many hoops) Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 Just be a woman, really. Thets the best DEI out there... afdhfg
+2 Equity is more prevalent than commodities in macro trading? Prospect in S&T - Other
+2 They're not much different from the broader M&A team, just a slightly different set of responsibilities. VP in IB - Gen
+2 I recruited for 3 cities way back when I was going through the process. I recruited 3 MM in NYC, 1 MM in Chicago, and Goldman in Dallas. Got pretty much all the offers except GS. Ended up choosing a NY bank. Analyst0910
