+2 If you could tell MV or IB leadership one thing, what would it be? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 I said coverage group not fake group. Sponsors does not do anything and keeps firing juniors. Good luck trying to find another job from a group that does nothing but sponsor books. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 The biggest question isn't UBS's brand it's whether analysts are getting enough live deal reps during the integration. catherine2
+2 The quality of the PM and senior analyst matters more than whether it's MM or LO. A great mentor can accelerate your learning far more than the platform itself. catherine2
+2 Bro you gotta work on your english. Wtf are you even trying to ask lmao Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Bro good luck if this thought crossed your mind! Absolutely do not flirt in coffee chats, if you want to mention your fraternity do some DD on who you’re talking to. If they were in Greek life, mention it. seekinthealpha1
+2 The problem is that Republicans don't tax, they just spend. Ozymandia
+2 MBA will cost $200k, so you'll need to spend the next 5 years just to break even (2 years of MBA, 3 years of paying student loans after) in a best case scenario - you still need to get into a good school, spend lots of eff Kevin25
+2 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀 IsItREPE
+2 TopBoy.-I’d maybe support a national one if it meant lowering income tax but that would never happen  IsItREPE
+2 why do you think they could move easily? if you're not a US citizen or permanent resident, you don't have an authorization to work, regardless of how smart you are or what school you went to. Kevin25
+2 Wut? Billionaires moving is already a tax loss, not even speaking about the job creation impact here of founding / funding new companies in the region) means the pie just gets smaller. hedgehog9
+2 Based off of exits + TC this year and last year, it seems to be very much top tier donttry098
+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 Fantastic group, if you get an offer from them you should definitely take it over every other bank, including Centerviewfor some more color on the group along with other groups, see the list i created here: The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
+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 Top quartile returns suggest otherwise. I understand you probably work at WF; but it is what it is. Seniors and HH's don't regularly change which banks they want to hire from for better or worse. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Just have a good command of financial knowledge. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+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 If it was printouts for a pitch then I am sure the discussion didn’t go past slide 3, and no one is reading past slide 5 Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 I highly, highly doubt this Works at Morgan Stanley
+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 I agree completely. My dad is a SM HF founder and is the most emotionally rational person I know. I also believe that those traits can be learned over time, especially from a great mentor. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Ever wondered why New York is named like that? So much to the "built by americans" afdhfg
+2 One of those guys listed is on my team and definitely runs laps around the Ivy League guys. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Ironic take from SaasChimp, but I think software is very challenged right now (AI headwinds + quality assets bid to perfection at 1.5-2.0x MOIC (if lucky)). SaaSChimp
+2 Ignore title. dude you can always lateral……maybe you are not telling the whole truth but it seems that she is mean if she continued to renegate against you. Intern in CorpFin
+2 PM first. industry is second. Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+2 Did nobody here take economics ? Works at Goldman Sachs
+2 You're right but sometimes its windy and that makes it more difficult so I only hit 12 below lucien_de_montclair
+2 Every year same post from BOA folks. roamingroman
+2 But...as a consumer Private Equity kills everything.  JoAnn's was essentially levered up and then killed by the weight of all the debt. nontraditionalchimpforbillions
+2 people are leaving for sure with the top performers noticeably gone in all groups across the bank. the senior levels look rough. Associate 2 in CorpDev
+2 Now I might be able to get into Evercore let’s goooo Intern in IB - CB
+2 I’ve looked at a few of these (e.g., medical bill printing). SaaSChimp
+2 Georgetown alum, so yes, biased, but even still. breakinentry
+2 Age: 30 Stub Ass - EBComp: according to market for EBJust finishing B-school buyongxiexie
+2 I would add that both funds are huge growth areas for BX broadly (indicated power/infrastructure is one of their main focus areas) and would expect them to scale both strategies dramatically over the coming years. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Waterloo never had a Moelis pipeline to begin with they sent max one person per year Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Cry More Marco! Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 6’7 Prospect in IB - Cov
+2 I was looking at a deal this week for my search and it’s a company that will almost certainly be replaced by AI (they essentially create slides like a graphics team). apetrynamakeit
+2 It should be a mix of yourself and counsel. Throwaway265124
+2 yes Quant in HF - EquityHedge
+2 Lol MFPE like Carlyle paying 290k-350k and their IB counterparts are at $400k Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+2 Stern Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 What I would expect is a carry grant that gets you a DAW in line with market. How that is distributed across existing funds is subjective. AsAnalyst14
+2 Most of those people don't make it through law or med school. It's a whole other world once you actually get into those schools(if you even do). Also, some schools bias one way over another. usernameladiesman217
+2 This is the crux of the disagreement. You don't think people will pay, but I do. You will be proven wrong. Ozymandia
+2 Fraternities usually post the internships their brothers got each summer on their instagram, go look who got banking internships and their linkedin to see if they're part of the program. kohnpork123
+2 Do you have a tldr of the real deal article? Lol, I mean fs you’re right but what are they supposed to do, stop doing business w the brokers? Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+2 Lbs mfa is 400 something cohort. Used to be much more selective. The outcomes look less impressive as percentage of those entering top SAs, let alone PE funds. Investment Manager in Risk Mnmgt
+2 Unfortunately, this is just how it is. Usually those people don’t even last in the industry. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Is this the Argentina program? I heard you’re essentially another first year analyst who can’t do live work as unlicensed. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Don't lose any more sleep than you're already losing. I've been to these meetings before, and if your MD knows these guys, chances are they're mostly talking about portco performance. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+2 coming from an ivy athlete. being an ivy athlete (especially at a school with strong greek life like cornell&dartmouth) is the best thing ever. you get into any party. you get all the girls. Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 Marco and his gang of 8-10 loyalists did the equivalent of a white collar heist. Get all your (mostly incompetent) buddies massive paydays while driving the IBD performance into the ground Managing Director in IB-M&A
+2 Thank you for your response. I don't really have the family ties for this specifically. sp1313
+2 I went to a target school so I never really worried about this PhantomGhost
+2 As ever in the UK, Uni > Course. UCL has improved a lot in the last 5-6 yrs and is a solid target, but LSE is LSE. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Good point. there are a lot of founders that are failing, but the ones who develop and scale understand deeply how money works. Hedi Mesme
+2 The fund finance teams actually pay really well. Fund finance is hot right now and all their juniors quit because it’s boring as shit, so they retain via good comp. There are no good exits. maestro_
+2 where did you hear this lol whatwhatwhat234
+2 I refuse to believe this was written by a fully-grown adult man. nontrgetplz_
+2 ASO2 EM $125k (70/30 split) Still way off from other banks, but was expecting $100k given how shit last year was. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+2 FLDP, please don't overhype a strategy role at a Big 4 for yourself... Business School in CorpStrat
+2 I mean, that isn't exactly fair.  You get paid a salary.  The office rent needs to get paid.  Where do you think that comes from? Ozymandia
+2 Yeah man, it's these greedy poor people that are the problem lol, not the fact that we live under a system that lets rich NIMBYs block the construction of new housing units and allows a single person to amass a net worth o Buzz_Lightyear
+2 Isn’t social housing and inheritable rent controlled units a big issue in NYC as well? Genuinely asking as a European who has seen some videos/news on the topic Jack4390
+2 Did the internship there last year ~ some thoughts..  CreditDefaultSwap_69
+2 Was about to say what MMPM did re DV... not funny.  iMamba
+2 He’s a scumbag and a crook, the end. He should be in jail for blatant securities laws violations but since we don’t do that anymore I’ll settle for him going broke.  leftcoastlenny
+2 Don't forget his speshul buddy Ozymandia is there to back him up! hedgehog9
+2 Well good news for you, if CA institutes this billionare tax and Mamdani's proposals are implemented (even just some of it) then a big portion of finance & tech jobs will then relocate to Nevada / Texas / Florida / Nor therealgekko
+2 Will do, thanks. Enjoy the final 4. thereisnochoice
+2 Will add I do real estate lending not corporate real estate banking. One of my good friends does REGAL corporate banking at a BB and his pay is better but WLB is way worse and his exits are different CIB groups. Analyst 3+ in RE - Comm
+2 I worked at MBB and there were some brilliant MDs. But tbh the average MD-background new-joiner did not really impress me.  Associate 2 in PE - Other
+2 I actually don't think that's the case. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+2 bump, will also be attending as well Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+2 Everything you just typed out is objectively wrong based on my experience at a top 3 DUS lender. "To make ~$100k a year you would need a client w like 5k units" Get real, milkyway. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+2 I got hit head on by a speeding Chevy Silverado truck traveling on the wrong side of the road while on my bike and (luckily) flew onto the sidewalk with some injuries. odog @digitalimmortality.com
+2 Dude, we just want jobs. The majority leave for PE anyway, and EVR does a good job at that.  Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+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 ibw? no? go to uchicago EDIT: actually I take this back. Just go to uchicago.. Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 I’ve seen people do it at the associate level as well. Might have to back a year. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Is this for the US arm? My gut tells me you're either not actually at Teneo OR you're an intern who's very green. Either way, please get your facts straight before disseminating information. VP in Consulting
+2 What nationality or race are you - African or Chinese? You have to think hard about what edge you have. kil
+2 My interactions with: odog @digitalimmortality.com
+2 I mean unless you pass them you're basically not regulated to sell or advise on most financial products. Most people in front office need to do them. That said no one is going to not hire you for not having them. nutmegger189
+2 I feel like you are trying to say Cornell is more prestigious than Stern and therefore stern can't do better on buyside. The difference is minimal in prestige buddy and stern is absolutely better for top buyside. 188m
+2 Got it worth noting that A) the company is privately owned and B) it’s a US Company so group level corp dev for example is run out of the US (with smaller teams in the UK). Investment Analyst in Research - FI
+2 Good comment. The highest paying jobs are the ones that reward intelligence and creativity. The more sales oriented jobs in finance require less of both and it’s not surprising there has been wage compression.  Managing Director in S&T - Equities
+2 Most popular groups are M&A CSA REGLL and Industrials in NYC. Would preface that we dont really have an industrials group, its mostly just chemicals and mining. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 UBS has fallen off a cliff. You can argue the legacy brand still makes it slightly more attractive than Wells, but that’s not a place I’d want to work at right now. Their IB division is an absolute mess. herbachino
+2 Debatable, but hands down number 1 for strip club visits Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+2 I work at one of the above mentioned shops, analyst and associate comp seems pretty high especially for the associates. Analyst are maxing out at $150K and Associates ~$210K. TORONTO REDEV
+2 There isn’t a single political party that’s serious about cutting public services or welfare either It does seem like the US is creeping towards a large state too  TopBoy.-
+2 Trust me, I had the exact same problem when I moved to NYC. Literally would say a prayer before every cut and would leave having to wear a hat for the next two weeks. Intern in IB - Gen
+2 One nice thing about banking / PE, even if it’s not long term, they pay keeps going up 25%+ each year. Teller in IB - Cov
+2 Nothing is impossible mate. Network as much as you can. Corp Banking is a really sweet gig of good WLB to comp. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
