+2 I might make a bigger thread on here about this and steal some of your content :) I know you mentioned my favorite/biggest/most important point… YOU ACTUALLY HAVE AN ASSET YOU CAN SELL! PeterEater
+2 wow this is great thanks!! Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 That is not a good salary for Investment Banking, plus by reading the article it seems like they had their salary reduced after signing the contract. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Ill get us started: Level: VP2 Institution: Small PC shop, $500mm AUM Group: Special sits / ABF Ranking: Top Location: T1 City VP in PE - Other

+2 I think your perception is heavily influenced by social media and fitness influencers.  RedWhiteAndWho
+2 OP this is also great advice too. I'd get back in touch with your old firm and see if that might be possible.  PaulAllenIsInLondon
+2 I loved the in-depth OT examples Intern in IB - Gen
+2 I wouldn't think that is the case for SE Asia.  setarcos
+2 It is obviously the case that white males have been disenfranchised. You only need to look at the number of women in finance and the number of programs aimed specifically at them. Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 you will surprised, you just haven’t probed them yet. Look how they comment “women + minorities” but nobody clarifies which minorities. In fact most of these include all PoC under the minority term. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Short answer - no it doesn't. Most ER analysts covering healthcare don't have an MD or PhD (from what I've seen). Analyst 3+ in ER
+2 Ozymandia financeabc
+2 #1 comp seems super low - $105k base and $15k in equity is laughable if this is NYC and you are getting underpaid by a lot. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 EBs are where all the hardos go and where all the $$$ is. It’s the closest thing to the “true” IB days. You will get absolutely cooked tho RBOB_squarepants
+2 checked your posts, and your raw thoughts (perks of online anonymity, but a curse for those who end up reading you, including myself) are concerning cap structure arbitrage
+2 Definitely don’t have enough Mamdani threads.  CRE
+2 Dude, start looking. Burn out is a sign that it’s not for you and it’s a bitch to shake. Save PTO for interviews. A business would be great and you understand the financial mechanics. Ehmerica
+2 I'm a former Vandy Econ freshman transfer. Sheeple
+2 damn your whole profile is shitting on rx. someone didn't get an interview Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Not on a systematic desk but understand data flows. Ultimately, figure out how to optimize the infrastructure upfront. Critical to remember future proofing as well. Ehmerica
+2 Nerds these days are prepping for banking in high school, this industry being full of incels is the least surprising thing ever Abusement Park
+2 To the global general public all that matters is undergraduate pedigree. In terms of which unis have the most pure prestige and brand strength? The answer is clear imo: Intern in CB
+2 Should incoming interns be worried  Intern in IB - Gen
+2 That’s a fair assessment I’m in no way saying that owning a home is a bad investment in itself. nontrgetplz_
+2 Not just I totally get your question . Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 When’s trump gonna release the Epstein files I thought it was 2 weeks away like 6 months ago  dukeblue2019
+2 Take RBC. Like someone said in this thread, BNP pays poorly and a lot of teams really don't care about interns. Return rates are low. Besides a few teams, most are not strong.  iia
+2 Long post incoming because imposter syndrome was one of my personal major struggles in my first year: Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 If you're interested in tech finance, Stanford is a no-brainer. liquor_ihardlyknowher
+2 I think keep doing what you're doing. you will pick up the modeling/deck stuff with time as long as you are somewhat trying / not completely checked out because it's frankly not rocket science.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Raising capital is usually much harder than generating returns. Plenty of talented investors never get to meaningful AUM because fundraising is a completely different skill. Adrian.
+2 Curious if anyone has had any recent experience with cold storage.  Where do you get market data on this product type for leasing demand, rent growth, rent comps, sales comps, etc.? hard assets
+2 Bodybuilders indeed do have it down to a science - however don’t think this is from natural causes? im not very creative
+2 Really? They are cranking deals and one of the better FIG teams. What part is not good? Or is this related to recent MD hires Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Pokemon MasterWhat about removing one more 0? $4.5 million would be like being the “poorest rich person in America. The world’s tallest dwarf.” CRE
+2 Worse culture across the street. Pressured into binge drinking and visiting strippers. Better to avoid this team if you are a woman.  Senior Consultant in Consulting
+2 Everyone is saying that London is tough but I'll just give you my perspective (as a PE intern here). It's actually getting a easier for studnets in the UK. Intern in PE - Other
+2 surprised at the level of salty comments on here. just let bro be happy sick_willy
+2 Aim for FLDP programs. F500 offerings are quite competitive, good salary, and good wlb relative to IB  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Which group?  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 My 2 cents: Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+2 Good deflection but still won’t change the fact that prime beneficiaries of DEI are white women. Freeloading white Beckies.  VP in IB - Gen
+2 Can anyone who is familiar with the Pensions comment on how the DB plan actually works? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+2 Yeah, I can see why that would stick in your mind a bit when you keep running into the same pattern over and over. smith-jhon
+2 I think Hg is uniquely great here - haven't looked at which case studies they share publicly, but many examples of them launching new products via their AI incubator (Catalyst) that have driven 7-8 figures of NARR across t aristosT
+2 Would not recommend. FT recruiting is a sprint. No one is tracking calls so early on. The upside is limited while the downside could be word getting out and you get your offer rescind (low chance, but possible) Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 I wanted to bump up this thread. hard assets
+2 This is one perspective. The other is that Corp Strategy is actually an incredible exit.  Associate 3 in CorpDev
+2 Not bad kid, I’d give you a 1R Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 I am a junior trader at a prop firm trading commodities. Dont want to sound discouraging, but what you described is not really something i think makes you stand out as an applicant. Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Crazy to even hesitate between a global BB and some random French bank especially in NY Take the better brandname and then you will see where you can lateral Homeless Banker
+2 Former PM ($1B AUM) at a long-only shop here. The MBA question is a distraction. Some LOs use it as a checkbox, but most care more about whether you can demonstrate investor judgment. stockpitchlab
+2 Ignore title, 5 YOE at MMHF and will make $3.5 million this year Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 lol, don’t depress the 21-year-olds here. You should have doom and gloomed AI underwriting too. CoffeeBong
+2 PhantomGhostI do a lot of trolling on this site but I'm going to answer this one seriously Nobody Man
+2 Depends how you classify sub par - i did BB IB for 3y, but never wanted to go into PE since pretty templated, no time for anything else usually and people pretty much either boring or snobby - or at least that was my exper Manager in CorpStrat
+2 Fuck California come to NYC like a real man KageSelly
+2 -  xxx1
+2 Former PM ($1B AUM) here. The jump is possible, but your title is your enemy. Yes, PE professionals make the jump, but it's significantly harder at the VP level than the Associate level. stockpitchlab
+2 The other GIS Investment Research reports. All available on their website.  Intern in PE - LBOs
+2 130k all in in NYC of all places is a huge sticker shock for IB/PE/consulting people. The average 1 bedroom is 4-5k a month. Comp range needs to go up if you want any bites from those profiles  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Hello Bentley student Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 NYU non-stern people are non-competitors though, its not a good school. So you can say the pool from which NYU students get hired from is 700 Stern + maybe the top 400 from the rest of NYU. ~1,100. rooseveltfan
+2 Bocconi student here Just search up Spring Weeks on YouTube and you should get a decent idea about it. Prospect in IB - Restr
+2 RIP M&A and M&T. Don’t touch anything with an M Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Investment Analyst in HF - Other Works at The Family Office
+2 You said you weren’t invested in the conversation, yet you keep responding to multiple posts of mine that weren’t directed at you. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Thanks for doing this, OP. I wanted to ask about my chances of breaking into a HF in a Quant role. I have a STEM degree (Chemistry) from the equivalent of an Ivy League in the UK. Associate 3 in CorpDev
+2 I would say there's a low shot you get someone to sponsor you to take the 86/87. if you want, take the 63 because some banks require it, although there seems to be a shift to drop it and just have the SIE, 86, and 87. spudrmonke
+2 Good question — AM recruiting is a lot less transparent than IB, so the confusion is normal. kelvinmadris
+2 This is all good advice in theory but doesn’t work for T1 LOs… they’re fine hiring 2+2s out of MBAs, most of the lateral spots I saw get filled at my shop were filled with hyper competitive applicants with more than a deca Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+2 Back Bay or South End hands down, esp. TRJamesGatz
+2 I would not network before starting FT if its a bank to bank lateral. Just do your networking after fourth of July. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Many Tech guys are badged to it so they don’t even show up to the SF office everyday Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Are you able to WFH on Fridays? Lebronbball123
+2 People are busy and if the aren’t working they want to be with their families this time of year.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 Thanks for the detailed response. I just summered in audit at a Big4 and was wondering if Big4 experience carries weight for IB Recruitment in the UK. RickyDicky
+2 Here is the issue. OP has control over his work product and competency but no say in how much MD likes him or not. Exec VP in IB - Cov
+2 Large tenured team, it means a lot to reach scale in that model. It means there is a process for training people and retaining people - you’ll likely learn more and be paid better and get more risk sooner. Anchor
+2 from peprlexity braxtonberrios
+2 I'd think that you are more likely late than wrong. If you're buying after all good information is priced in, you're not going to beat the market. Tracer85
+2 To add on a little more we had 2 Jewish people on our team, including the staffer, who observed Shabbat starting on Friday. We had a Muslim guy who did prayer time in the analyst lounge. TechBanking
+2 Just wait till you have to take it for the job no point in worrying about until than.  Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+2 Associate 2 in RE - CommMultifamilyGuy MultifamilyGuy
+2 if you're like my relative, you need to completely reframe what you mean by exercise. what previously could've been 30 minutes in the gym lifting weights maybe now is 20 minutes on the rower/seated bike at a slow pace thebrofessor
+2 "here's a day in my life as a 27 yo working at xxx in nyc" Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Maybe they’ll post above a 3% IRR in their flagship buyout fund now Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+2 If you make a transition to product (finance), make sure you actually care about the product or you will get fucking bored. It's pretty much investor relations with some critical business responsibilities. Greenspan's Panties
+2 Don’t understand why ppl are so entitled. Like you are asking an otherwise complete stranger (who are incredibly busy) for their time and a job. Getting ghosted should be the base assumption. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 Yeah…. PeterEater
+2 Yeah uh without an actual auditable prior track as a PM this effort will be a total zero. There are PMs out there with the pedigree and track who aren’t even getting looks. Benson Says
+2 Macro ArbitrageHow many of the high sharpe crypto funds are still around after Fri?  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+2 Troll post? How to cope? How about working hard to get a RO and then recruit FT somewhere else? Such a weird mindset. Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 ur not stem so you dont have the first choice picks. selection is done through resume. no_home_jerome
+2 There's quite a bit of blatantly racist content in this thread that WSO doesn't seem to mind. Shouldn't half these posts be deleted? anonymous investor
+2 Go to ross or nu. Please also know you will land ib as long as you network. Please Please build a life outside of the job man.  bestman222
+2 LOL at thinking the headhunter connection is worth anything. To these people, you're less than a number. MMPM
