Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+2 People aren’t responding to shit now. We are trying to close deals before the new year and nobody is trying to work after Dec 20th. I imagine our bankers on our deals are cranking even harder than we are. local_finance_bro
+2 I refuse to believe this was written by a fully-grown adult man. nontrgetplz_
+2 Piastri and Lando will crash at the start  Intern in IB - Cov

+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 I can't talk to all of the options you're pursuing, but I would suggest looking into the independent sponsor space. StrategyJunkie
+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 Bunch of retards. Someone (LKP) is in the team and thinks they’re the greatest thing to happen to Growth Equity; met her at a networking event and she was absolutely full of it. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+2 not bad at all - got tripped up how 10% increase in land paid for with preferred dividends requiring 6% return would flow thru 3 statements ice cream sandwhich

+2 Do all of these require the math/quant background? Prospect in IB-M&A

+2 Congrats on L Catterton Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+2 Don’t let the haters in the comments get to you just keep ripping bag they’re all bouse DoubleTheSolo
+2 It's pretty simple. It extends your graduation date by a year which makes you eligible for more opportunities. If your undergrad uni sucked or was less than ideal then it also can bridge that gap. nutmegger189
+2 I’m a second year rn at UCalgary, and I picked it over Ivey AEO, so I feel like I can empathize with your decision to a pretty high degree. Barrel Boi
+2 know a banker that volunteers on the board for a children's hospital that deals with serious illness (think Leukemia/ Congenital Disease/ Cancer) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+2 I mean what level is this for? I imagine a very junior position given you're asking this. nutmegger189
+2 5% of P&L you contributed, or half a buck TC, sounds about right.  PM in HF - Other
+2 Why does he have a non compete for his own fund PM in HF - EquityHedge
+2 As a principal at a F/O it’s about ownership, profit share, etc but mostly, it takes a higher gear to be able to find mispricing/undervalue assets and then when you stumble on one and it’s right in front of your face, it t palm_beach_ll
+2 Are you by chance a diverse/POC? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Then my biased opinion would be #1 as it' similar to what I did, but it's really about who do you wanna be. Some guys are great brokers others are great investors. brosephstalin

+2 he didnt even say the word jeff Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Hit the nail on the head here. Physical side is much more attractive of a job than any bank. Commodity.Chimp
+2 Don’t worry so much on GPA. I’ve seen low GPAs from non-target US schools get BB IB and dream placement from knowing someone. At the end of the day it’s who you know. Commodity.Chimp
+2 I think most financial services firms are generally leaning cautious on hiring because they are unsure of how AI will impact their business going forward and would rather add later than overhire now, especially coming off Investment Analyst in HF - Other

+2 At some point you gotta realize it’s all on you. Not any of these programs. Commodity.Chimp

+2 I left banking to go to the military (officer candidate school not enlisting) to be a reservist, it's more common than you might think. I liked the idea of doing corp dev after IB and the military part time.  BoutiqueAsc
+2 I have no skin in the game but they've pitched our portcos in the past and have always presented well. They also recently sold Coteria, Summer Fridays Dr. Squatch, Badia and Osea. That's legit MMM6969
+2 Why do the UBS people on this forum make everything about their singular firm. WS and the world doesn't revolve around UBS like WSO would like you to believe. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 im already in im an analyst, looking to lateral tho cuz none of the analysts in my current group want to send while splitting a bag here and there  FingerBlasterBoy2004

+2 Nah, Jeet. Stay in your turd world country Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+2 I didnt really exit a buddy of mine pulled me into M&A for my associate years. Highly considering secondaries investing for an exit though at a GP-led, single asset focused shop. SolvencyGod
+2 Vell 🇮🇳 Vell 🤮 Vell 💩 Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+2 I have a friend who got his summer 26' offer rescinded but HR told him it was just due to headcount changes but likely also the same reason. That's genuinely fucked up, sorry to hear it happened to you rabbitfootbill

+2 OP’s question is valid. My issue is with the people who play down Emory recruiting without knowing anything about it. Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 Brunner example is a classic example of the current BoA strategy. Works at Goldman Sachs
+2 M&A mostly strong on a few big deals where WF was one of a FEW named advisors, and not the lead. So in those cases, nobody at WF is holding the pen on the model. Works at Wells Fargo
+2 Top group at JPM. consistentgeese123
+2 At a UMM (15bn+ in fund size), we did not interview nor give offers to WF analysts, we did for UBS. Take that as you will.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+2 2030E PF EBITDA, adjusted for optimism Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 My 2c would be something like Philosophy or Psychology given the commodotisation of STEM. For me the degree tells me about the individual's intent. RestartIt
+2 Dauphine is a strong target more for markets but not for IB in general. You'll have to grind more than the likes of hec or escp for London IB.  adrien3
+2 I would pick imperial as its a low target/semi target the MSc finance course and your able to extend to 1.5 year from what I have seen so you may be able to extend your time recruiting.HEC Lausanne for London is a non targ huhhghhbbgghhh
+2 Congrats on p72 smokingdatpack

+2 Just chat him what's the problem, no other schools have to do so much to get alums to talk nooneinparticular
+2 Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+2 Bx is incentivized to say the market will go up FYI. Ever notice how they make an announcement that they are long “x” area of real estate and then notice that 1-2 quarters later they sell their entire portfolio. pudding
+2 Most firms won’t provide feedback for legal reasons. The industry is in the tough spot - many firms are doing workouts and restructures so they aren’t growing. pudding

+2 My head hurts. Well done Fast and Fiduciary
+2 Stuck it out for a year and a half. Would advise sticking the one year mark at least and then recruiting heavy. I switched out of finance completely and moved to a startup investmentwanker123
+2 I think about this a lot but you should just round up or down. 5 makes you one of the poorest rich dudes in America and 10 is where things get interesting. Venturepapi
+2 Honestly, it sounds like you need to increase your volume. Also review what message you are sending them, short, sweet and relevant/relatable. Intern in IB - Gen
+2 still working through this exact issue (5+ YOE in banking), i think the simple solutions are taking time off (as possible understand it's harder to as a junior), manually blocking off some time for gym / health / just a br MnIGuy
+2 Hey look it’s our friendly neighborhood LARP retard again. Why don’t you scurry off and keep shouting about why sellside salespeople should get fired again. Benson Says
