+2 Some more stuff from him:  Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+2 Appreciate the perspective - super helpful Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Totally disagree with above comments. The guys on this thread think too much like CLO investors and not enough like equity investors. Managing Director in HF - Other
+2 Get creative with the dates to do less expensive things. Coffees and a bookstore run / read together in the store. Go visit kittens for an hour at a shelter that has open lounge for all the kittens who need hoes. liquidiot

+2 Yes, it is better than nothing. PeRmAnEnTiNtErN

+2 From my own experience, having interned at 2/3 top 3 BB’s in London, there is no strict rule - UK interns (and rightly so tbh) optimize for conversion perspectives. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 I am having the same problem. Ok GPA at a good school with a top brokerage and strong REPE internship. dominic242734
+2 They don’t do any direct promotes. They force you to leave after 2-3 years as an associate. You have to leave for a couple years and then you can maybe come back as a VP. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 You should just have a rough framework in mind. If you’re a sector banker interviewing for a sector PE (same sector) you should definetely have a view. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 You're still going? The more you defend it, the more you prove my point. No one asked you to justify DCM.  You’re doing that yourself. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Good group from what I hear with a good junior culture. Very decent deal flow and mining focused. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 OP, same issue. C.R.E. Shervin
+2 Based on brokercheck it looks like it’s just a handful of senior bankers badged to the office, that’s also used by non IB coverage UBS groups Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Don't underestimate the need to ride out a rough stretch by pulling in some fees. jarstar1
+2 Saying one banker is good because they got on 1 IPO deal in the 2/3 seat is comical, but the state of play for the team Associate 3 in IB - ECM
+2 Develop taste and surround yourself with those who have taste. To develop taste you gotta stop succumbing to peer pressure. Then comes finding the way you like to do things. pbandjpartners
+2 Ya I was a little confused on this as well. Are you saying you want to try and start this up right out of school with zero professional experience? If that is the case, this plan will go no where. RCJ92
+2 I think a lot of people underestimate how much of a trap the short-form content loop is. It's engineered to hit you with dopamine over and over, so of course it's hard to stop. elsizinie939
+2 Most people say something along the lines of confronting her, stopping her behavior, looping in authority, etc… pbandjpartners
+2 UBS ECM revenue is only up because the broader market is finally picking up. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen

+2 You’ll be good bro don’t worry. Happened to me and you just have to clarify it with your bank   Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Have not heard about LP discontent. The people leaving seem to be pursuing more lucrative opportunities or exploring a more entrepreneurial path. It is a large platform with substantial flow and sponsor relationships. Swine-Linked-Notes
+2 For UK LSE LBS Oxbridge top and HEC, Bocconi, hsg, escp, Imperial etc as solid choices. Don't go by qs ranking lol. I think with your experience its more about being in London itself and having the visa. Investment Manager in Risk Mnmgt
+2 Agreed that MO is a real career and is discounted, but this forum exists because FO jobs are so difficult to get and people want a competitive edge. acardboardmonkey
+2 This is not true - virtually every single Canadian SA over the last few cycles received a return. I only remember one Women's Program pipeline intern from back in 2022 not receiving it because she was awful Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Harvard and Oxford are referenced far more in daily life than any other university in the world. Sorry but Cambridge can’t compete. Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 Awesome! You don't have to convince me that the US is a great place to live. On a lot of metrics it is the best country to live in. GBily
+2 There are general practices to simulate weather probabilities for days beyond the forecasting window. oil_quant
+2 Come get their analyst?!? I am saving peoples careers here.  Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Perhaps Cambridge is never individually named as the most famous university in the world because Harvard and Oxford are more universally recognized? Ever consider that? Quant in Non-profit
+2 This is mostly true. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Depends on your definition of “best”, but here are some that come to mind that usually recruit FT. All analyst classes are very small and have different recruiting situations. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 What specifically are you seeking insight on to help guide your decision? If you miss pitching large-caps and you prefer the culture/work of your EB gig, moving back is a reasonable idea. ShowMeDaMoney
+2 I don't agree the question. It makes sense for anyone to pursue a career in anything if they're early in their career and/or have the relevant experience. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+2 Thanks @Analyst 1 in IB - Co Alvian
+2 This is absolutely correct. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Holy cortisol spike. Relax and enjoy your senior year, Stern is a great place to be. When you do get on campus, remember to enjoy your time— no one wants to hire a hard ass. goodegg123
+2 Are they leaving for HF L/S roles? Prospect in S&T - Other
+2 My firm hires analysts and it honestly sucks for the reasons you stated. They are not good but because there’s two people working together I’ll get twice the amount of work and then have to fix there mistakes. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 how are you in year 5 and still sr asc? B School? Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 interesting school combo clLLOALL
+2 It's far more about running a book thats producing uncorrelated returns to the market, and that at its core is pure risk management and Prospect in S&T - Other
+2 AI slop ContangoMan
+2 All downhill after gfc Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 Honestly agree. Same with these weird creepy OSG Asians. Both Canadians and OSG has backed EVR. I go to HYP and tons of people didn’t even get interviews with stellar profiles. Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Greystar is an exit opp. It’s one of the biggest names in real estate and arguably the biggest name in apartments.  CRE
+2 Indeed, I think start at 9am and leave at 8am next day is pretty much the norm. Plenty of time in between to relax.  muhittintufan
+2 Let's put RX aside, the point was more about M&A, a space where EBs and BBs compete directly.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 I thought you were going to say capacitor for a second ImagineSisyphusHappy
+2 First off, congratulations on retirement being around the corner. Love seeing vets in finance and not slinging tee shirts or working in CIF. HighlyLeveraged69
+2 When you’re surrounded with people that make money vs when you’re surrounded with people that lose money. That’s when you’ll realise whether tradings for you. go_ok
+2 Theoretically the pyramid becomes a straight line. It's not that no one will know what they are doing, but it'll be way harder to have a white collar role. FinServces
+2 Second this. Also the HL RuffCo case study is a nice intro if you have no prior knowledge of RX to date.   pik_floyd
+2 This is an 80/20 issue. No elected rep will push hard against this. PetEng
+2 this is not how we got to where we are as a species. i expect more from this forum. monkeyvjit

+2 35 MD (2nd year) +3 kids and wife that stopped working 6 months ago.  $5.2m total $600k Home fully paid HCOL suburb $1m 401k Love Audit Money
+2 I'm not sure. A major reason Democrats lost in 2024 was because they were being soft on immigration. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 Biggest aspect of inflation still is housing. No H1Bs, mass deportations would make housing affordable again and Americans could afford housing and have more kids. Consultant in RE - Comm
+2 If you get a FT role with Greystar as a development analyst you'll be fine. jarstar1
+2 Similar experience. CB was not only extremely rude,  hard to get in contact with, but had no idea what she was doing. josh.smithers123
+2 It won't be a problem for securing a return full-time offer if that is your main concern, but long-term career prospects are probably not that great. Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+2 I think the main thing that'll help you is just to own it. sudokuweekend
+2 ~300k TC that will scale to 500k+ in 2-3yrs. Living in a T2 city area  hedgehog9
+2 What did you choose Prospect in S&T - Other
+2 Really hope my nigga beats these charges. ojapar20
+2 American here so take my opinion on Europe stuff with a grain of salt, but if you want to be in Copenhagen, take the job in Copenhagen, especially since it pays more and will give you more disposable income. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 He can claim whatever he wants regarding your contribution. It's just another lever to screw you. You think you have some kind of ownership but you don't. Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+2 Don't listen to CareerXL, Wallstreet Mastermind, and practically anyone who's scaring you into believing you can't make it without their help. reddemon
+2 No one cares bro literally not saying this as a diss but in industry it’s just viewed like all other good schools ignore title Intern in ER
+2 Point taken on information or data edge. But doesn’t generating insights faster and more cheaply also drive market efficiency? Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 .. SPYShorts
+2 Worth flagging I'm in later-stage growth, not PE. But on differentiation, for us (and most GE/VC shops) it's access, network, and sector depth. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 I’ve heard good things about the Vandy program if you go that route. Definitely don’t study for the CPA unless you’re damn sure you want to be an accountant. I feel your pain man, it’s not easy out there. Lacost
+2 Take the BB gig, you’d be retarded to take a 6 month internship over a locked in analyst gig. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+2 Thank you — extremely helpful and some very good/common sense points brought up here. BankshotBroker

+2 Nothing fundamentally changes. Continue to buy VTI on discount. gufmo
+2 Pearse Partners and Dartmouth had a number of mandates with well known funds in the direct lending space. PER from above has not been great. Works at PwC
+2 yes, but this still makes it incredibly difficult for a lot of people during the next year. And they can just sign another one before this one expires. E30
+2 any update on evr summer? VI are out right? Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 I mean if you can save $50k a year for 30 years or so you’ll have $5-10M saved when you retire. Not private jet money but pretty great if you don’t take big risks like owning your own company. patrick_bateman_
+2 Personally I'd rather work 60-70hrs per week and make $500-600k (with higher upside / comp differential as you get more senior) vs. 40-50 / $300k. I don't mind the extra hours and find anything below 70 to be manageable. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+2 Extremely helpful advice thank you so much. A few broader questions if you don’t mind, and I might shoot you a PM later: Prospect in Consulting
+2 Just go on hinge. Bars suck now Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Financo / RJ are heavy hitters. MMM6969
+2 It depends what you'd be switching for. If it's a commercial/trader development scheme, then fine. But mind that IB and Commodities overlap in ways people tend to ignore. thelad
+2 It’s pretty formulaic. Right now its 20% linked to products peer percentile rankings, 40% qualitative/discretionary, and 40% performance of personal recommendations. Secyh62

+2 Oxford and Harvard. Summer Associate in IB - Cov
+2 Best use cases are the slides where creativity actually matters. Buyer universes with logos grouped by rationale, market maps, process timelines, management presentation narratives, teasers, exec summaries, one-pagers. Dr.Leigh
+2 Recruiting genuinely sucks while working and I completely feel that/did it a year ago. Was in a similar situation to you where I lateraled from a MM. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 Honestly, calm down and zoom out, because you’re thinking about a high school scoreboard way too much On wall street Stern is viewed as a very real target in NYC, and once recruiting starts nobody serious cares that you go Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Fair. Kevin25
