+10 Lack of sleep is hard to compensate for, no matter how many supplements or “systems” you try to add. GS under Blankfein
+10 Have firsthand knowledge here. Centerview’s “strategic advisory” practice is not just a euphemism for M&A like some of their other competitors. VP in PE - LBOs
+10 You aren’t suppose to use H1Bs on entry level jobs Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+9 Are you sure? I grew up around loads of ppl in top positions in corporate. Even owners of mid-market companies. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+9 Agreed, this is totally insane. This should all be "done" by the portco with some oversight and input by you and the sponsor team. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+9 The big investment banks love internationals because they will ultimately be stuck at the bank and at the bank’s mercy if they’re hired. VP in IB - Gen
+9 Shit at this point Truist will just acquire them Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+9 LAZ by nearly every metric; exits, comp, culture etc bearboarbat
+9 "It" = the ability to consistently make money. That may show up a handful of characteristics/traits such as: Determined
+9 Most of you tools don’t get it. Most DEI is implicit. Everytime we need to make hiring and promotion decisions, we are forced to give 50% seats to women regardless of their competency. Exec VP in IB-M&A
+9 I find the excel model case study a terrible way to vet candidates. Exploring conceptual understanding is as valuable with non of the fluff of a highly polished model test. Associate 2 in PE - Growth
+9 Corp Dev in tech actually pays well? Did 3 years in IB, made ~320k in Corp Dev covering a tech niche. Manager in CorpDev

+9 To answer the questions about who the hitters are - outside of the very public names l, the Tokat’s, the Nataraj’s, the Grimes, etc (who are well above 25mm), I’d rather not names but I’d say the people earning that much t Managing Director in IB-M&A
+9 Are you trolling? Did I finally get got? Your post doesnt make much sense...  Associate 3 in CorpDev
+9 Read all your legal documents to a T and understand them, where the risks lie in them, and why certain clauses exist. You can screenshot sections and ask ChatGPT to explain. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+9 congrats on ubs WaltSim
+9 Hey, Corpdevweap0n, I really wanna double click this issue, but can we circle back and touch base on this by EOW because I am out of bandwidth. Paul_Owen
+9 u need to emphasize they were DEI / women, because almost all European internships don't give a crap about behavioral questions and you're mostly drilled on technicals + models (especially at PE firms, as KKR), so I'll cal GS under Blankfein
+9 I think that, respectfully, you are delusional. K5JbYq3Zg2MvXw4L8HpR7TsE6FnU1DcO0AaSbWxPdQzCfGjViNhTmLoIrY
+9 First of all, you’ll discover that your body can actually cope with these hours. The associates already do this for 5 years in a row, so don't complain about it.  Rover-S
+9 db (levfin etc) and db rest in same tier, hl m&a missing, plz fix Intern in Private Credit
+9 IMO Public markets special situations or activist investing wherein you invest across the capital stack and across as many unique, hairy situations as possible would make you the best investor. Dow70K
+9 Come off Anonymous and face me like a man anonymizeplease
+9 I also wouldn’t change my career aspirations on the hyperbolic doomer statements saying there will be no need for junior bankers and talking about starting bakeries instead. VP in CB
+9 Good list whoooo
+9 Would be surprised if they aren’t all looking to all take the circus on the road Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+9 Some merits in the main point of your analysis but the secondary reasoning, to perfectly match demographics in each company/industry, doesn’t make sense at all.    Director in IB - Cov
+9 Interesting background/behavioral responses + Social skills (super important) in interviews: executive presence, not taking yourself too seriously while being professional, being enjoyable to be around/have a conversation youngbuffet
+9 Interned this summer at a modeling-heavy levfin team, not sure how much of the model does Wells/RBC hold the pen on, but here’s what I’d recommend besides being good at three-statement / LBO modeling: Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+9 Take the role. You are not at the point in your career where prioritizing for stability should outweigh rolling the dice on a high right tail option. I was in your situation some years ago and took the job. Principal in HF - Event
+9 nah, I actually think it makes sense for someone who's into self-harm to go to IB Kevin25
+9 100% people will respect the sabbath for you and not bother you to work. At all.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+9 It is light but that’s because (1) HIG has a billion mouths to feed across the associates and VPs across all of the firm’s PE strategies, (2) HIG’s cash comp is standardized across funds so while the numbers are in line wi Works at H.I.G. Capital
+9 substantial carry potential and PC in the same sentence lol Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+9 Peter Linneman's "Real Estate Finance: Risks and Opportunities" has everything in there that you would ever need to know for CRE, but can be a little technical/granular at times. Bigbodybugatti
+9 Trumps America! LFG! Associate 3 in IB - ECM
+9 Scottie stick to golf, doing IB isn’t worth leaving the tour. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+9 Total BS. Most indians at the top got hired in 80-90s in an era when their white bosses mostly cared about hardwork than virtue signalling. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen

+9 AI makes smart people more efficient and dumb people more retarded Associate 1 in PE - Other
+9 This is a classic problem that boutiques face - growth beyond their traditional familiar niches. They start off with a few rainmakers and dominate the few lanes that their dealmakers bring in. nychimp99
+9 Barclays becomes better and better since they left Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+9 You would think that Sandy Hook and the jew-jew-jew clip and general anti semitism that Alex Jones is a radioactive person to be seen with. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+9 It is your life, live it however you want. People here are generally going to agree with you because it’s WSO. Many of the people here are hardo and neurotic. BigBodyBenz
+9 Wanna see what the wso bot has to say for this one Analyst0910
+9 Was at GSB/HBS coming from a MF background (just graduated) and landed a UMM post MBA role. I think people are being a bit too overly 'doom and gloom' with post MBA recruiting.  VP in PE - LBOs
+9 >mexican man gains weight, more breaking news at 11 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+9 That's the literal meaning of beating a dead horse. It's "to waste time and effort trying to do something that is impossible," as per Merriam-Webster.  We all have gotten the WSO opinion on UBS Tech. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+9 Tigers aren’t bald  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+9 Northwestern is elite, same level as Duke, Dartmouth, UChicago, Brown, Cornell. Placement in recent years is insane and its public on their club site. Believe theres also very little competition.  Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+9 UBS IB is maybe the least diverse bank at the junior level. I am a white dude, and it's all just white and Asian (not even all types; just south and east) dudes with the rare Asian/white woman thrown in there. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+9 I feel like UBS/CS integration would’ve been okay  without them. Other IB units (Europe/Asia) as well as other bank units (WM) have had some issues but largely transition has been smooth.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+9 Congrats on UBS PhantomGhost
+9 Yep. I had a thread popping up on my Reddit home page today from an FP&A subreddit titled "Compensation comparison". People were posting their comp, YOE, and COL location. Kevin25
+9 Na not like that man. Even if I didn’t have a lady of 8 years, as great of a person this girl is, she was beat. rolo25
+9 I’m conservative and I’ve hired Indian Americans, Chinese Americans, Korean Americans, etc. Children of immigrants are fantastic - hard working and America first (which is what we all want!). Executive Director in IB-M&A

+9 This is a pretty wild and anxiety inducing situation, bumping for visibility Prospect in IB-M&A
+9 retrorallyOzy, what type of people would be successful going out on there own? You’ve seen any cases? Ozymandia
+9 Litquidity is the most reputable source on the street proteinchimp
+9 I too shared the same skepticism before but the preponderance of evidence suggests the opposite -- the US govt & military are puppets of Israel and Jews therealgekko
+9 Abuses are rampant especially in finance Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+9 Your first mistake was posting about it here - there are plenty of Orthodox Jews in banking that have made a career out of it, should’ve sought advice from them vs. this cesspool of a forum. Teller in CB
+9 Congrats on M&A! Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+9 I'm reiminscient into an old lecture in my first year of undergrad... "In a few years, you're going to have a whole new set of problems and things to worry about than you do right now" FinnesseGod

+9 Feel for you man. But it’s really not productive to force a cynical lens on every single opportunity. There is no “golden path” either so I’d discard that thinking. ShowMeDaMoney
+9 Look I’m all for taking this stuff serious but look at the supposed quotes… no woman has ever talked like that. It reads like a horny jamboy writing some fanfic about his boss johnny-mnemonic
+9 As someone who has been trying to break into middle market REPE their entire career (6 years only so not crazy long), this post is peak ragebait.  jCRE_1
+9 The main issue I've seen is these LMM funds are run essentially as fiefdoms. The founding partner dictates everything. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+9 Fully virtual for sure, back when i was doing recruiting with in person superdays, there were some super days I missed or didn’t attend because they conflicted with school. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+9 Cornell has a stronger overall brand nationally and internationally, stronger placement within finance (they’re about the same for IB but Cornell has better buyside outcomes), and more flexibility if you ever want to do so Associate 2 in PE - Other
+9 Hopefully you understand the risk profile of your first strategy is picking up nickels in front of a steamroller, and the second is heavily exposed to the equity market premium... PM in HF - Other
+9 Be a pass through entity to your juniors. Throw them into the fire with little oversight but tell them you "trust them" beforehand so they work hard for you. xc1
+9 Yeah you're right, Elon has never done anything at Tesla / SpaceX ever! hedgehog9
+9 I think the likelier thing is an economy like 1945-1955. Deeply embedded structural inflation from tariff policy leads to negative real interest rates. kellycriterion
