+2 why infra, strengths & weaknesses, what verticals in infra does ISQ invest in, one ISQ's portfolio company, what made ISQ different/special in the infra PE space than other infra PEs. botanicsay
+2 I do think the exposure is good experience, although I'd temper that for the Big 4 given the necessity of studying for the ACA and the relatively thick hierarchy vs other firms bobmarley22

+2 I would go with Imperial. The F&A places quite well if you have previous internship experience. Given you speak German and English you could easily recruit for both Germany and UK Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 If you’re truly at a sweaty bank you’d be surprised at how much you’d still get paid at the eoy even if you’re doggin it. The fact that you’re still there when your peers drop left and right is something to consider. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Unpopular opinion, but my remote analysts are actually more productive. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+2 It’s not morally bad on its face. Just depends on how it’s handled. crazylifechoices
+2 Of course! At some point, you have to start living life for yourself, though. VP in IB - Cov
+2 In my opinion, if the MMs want to recruit top talent then they got to compete with the BBs. Hags28
+2 I don't fully disagree with you, but there is a huge amount of luck and an unbelievable level of grit/purpose needed to get into MBB. Those without full rides aren't given that level of flexibility.  Intern in Consulting
+2 Are you getting a 4.0? Do you have a part time job or internship? Are you studying technicals in your free time?  PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+2 del Substack_Guy
+2 This sounds like a CIB Credit role or a Corporate and Leveraged finance role at a Balance Sheet bank (Truist has a group like this I believe) Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 I know my bank and a few other BBs are not doing FT recruiting, period. Have heard lots of complaints both in my group and from other fellow analysts across the street that interns they liked aren't getting returns. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+2 You really don't know what you are talking about, there are like 75 law firms that pay Cravath scale, and 10-15 that pay higher out of law school. ConsultingKid2022

+2 I think this is the first sponsor we had come in on this board and argue with us. Very entertaining. Thanks Swapnil.  Works at CBRE Global Investors
+2 Recruiting for UK roles from Canada or the USA follows a similar framework to North American hiring but differs in formality, networking style, and legal requirements. kelvinmadris
+2 Dubai by the beach overlooking straight of Hormuz  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+2 At least at my fund people are also major assholes to the consultants demanding holiday / weekend work Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+2 Agree w/ you that some of these funds are definitely troubled, but I wouldn't purely look at the debt trading levels and assume the equity investment is similarly impaired. Principal in VC
+2 Here is the latest I have heard about Rothschild -  Hags28
+2 Not the answer you want.  I don't come from a multi-generational American Protestant dervied culture, from a clan based South Asian merchant family.   Daemon145
+2 I have friends who have placed exceptionally well from the Vandy MSF; even internationals placed into IB last year which, given the market and political context, is really impressive. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+2 few, but at least you knew that the WASPs that were in the Government were fully aligned on American interests and those took priority  GS under Blankfein
+2 long term view: decide if u wanna do repe straight from undergrad vs post-IB (regal coverage)  Lazerboy
+2 Be the intern who removes work, not creates work. Show up early, write stuff down, send clean follow ups, ask questions once not five times. People remember reliable way more than “smart”. Hanlon
+2 I think the main risk is assuming the market hasn't already priced this in. anaisss_
+2 I kinda had the same issue when I was an intern except for me it was because I didn’t drink for religious reasons so I didn’t really go to a lot of the socials the interns had planned like clubbing/going to the bar. allademassive
+2 they are in the business of flipping equity, not selling a durable product - just like Harvey. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+2 how easy is it to lateral from a bb to eb? coming in to summer at a low tier bb and want to have more rigorous experience Intern in IB - Cov

+2 This is retarded Prospect in IB-M&A
+2 its a grim outlook for the career mate N/A in IB-M&A
+2 In summary, like the propaganda agent Xuequin Jiang rightly said: "whoever you're not allowed to question is who is ruling you". Period. Intern in IB-M&A
+2 This thread gave me Long COVID and I don't even believe in that JulianRobertson
+2 This is all under the assumption AGI comes. I've written pieces on this site about this before, but the TLDR is that we're still decades away from solving the computational and logical problems these models face. usernameladiesman217
+2 Yale comment was targeted Intern in HF - Other
+2 Would say recruiting at Unc has vastly improved. Targets for the following: BofA, WF, DB, JPM, jefferies, Raymond James, piper, Blair (mm names in the south)  Lean more semi: gs  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+2 All these funds were actually raised before Jan / Feb this year - eg the ones that closed early this year were really raised over the past 12-18 months. kuf135
+2 And fwiw just as a follow up to my post above, I think KKR may also owe me like $250 from my time doing business with them 10+ years ago! lol.  Hags28
+2 £75kk brtfedd1312
+2 To add to your point, I think the only true financial innovation we will be seeing now, will solely be coming from the big firms like HRT, Citadel, 2Sigma, etc. Matchabee
+2 Found the coping Cambridge alumnus. Analyst 1 in ER
+2 Are you sure they aren't asking if receiving a FT offer at the end of the summer is a possibility? thegoattypeshi
+2 I  Intern in IB-M&A
+2 Since we already have a 9 year bump… I’ll answer my own question. Rich dudes spending 6 months out of the year in Puerto Rico has taken off. Especially post-Covid where WFH flexibility is an option at a lot of places. Pokemon Master
+2 I didn't realize they were still around. They were the Dallas OG but their senior team splintered to start other competing funds - Trive being the most successful.  The Real Donnie Azoff
+2 I'm a history major and seriously thinking about building my senior project using WSO lol. So much gold on here plzgivemeajob
+2 No idea but listening to WF speak at a conference, he seems pretty turbo and I'd assume he sets the culture  asmith_1
+2 as a chicago analyst at a competing bank, this is spot on. do yourself a favor OP and take TD Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+2 Non-Tier 1 exits are still strong — just more variance and a less concentrated MF funnel. Chimp444
+2 Yea same. I thought that if you don't have a strong story as to why you didn't receive a return offer, or if you didn't have a SA at an IB, it's hard to get a FT offer. curious George 2345
+2 UMM guarantee is not possible. There are multiples more IB analysts at supposed top groups vs. total seats at UMM/MF PE. Top analyst at worse coverage group at JPM exits to UMM/MF and median at top groups exit to a MM. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+2 Tbh idk the answer but I’m laughing my ass off reading the replies so far of dudes being like “just lateral”. I feel like he’s asking “how do I be happy where I am without lateraling to a better bank”. AlexanderHamiltonLover
+2 Hi Buddy, aniketverma

+2 where do you learn about all the specifics about what is important in industrial?  hard assets
+2 As a HSW grad from this past year with a similar background (not strictly HF / LO, but mix of investing roles + IB), I would highly discourage you from going to the MBA if you plan to stick around in public investing. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+2 Reposting from another thread (and it’s great that people finally have the balls to call this out) UBS has the highest international/visa rate of the BBs. Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+2 This is helpful thanks!! Good luck to everyone here!! We got this, its all in gods plan :) liftupthelord
+2 I don't think so. I can't say definitely, it might have been possible during the past, but in this period of low headcount vs high demand, no STEM degree would likely automatically be screened out by HR. Associate 1 in S&T - FI
+2 Yeah they are also hiring a lot at the associate level as well (am in process for an associate role there). Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+2 Obligatory congrats on Wells Fargo. MBA_Moron
+2 What’s his demeanor/personality like - anyone have any insight? apelife
+2 Vandy Undergrad here - MSF usually places in random T3 cities. better off rolling with that job, waiting 2 years and doing an MBA not really worth unless you're unemployed rn. just study for gmat for a long time Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 A lot of it is probably friends and family of Josh Harris. I’ve heard mixed things about 26Norths PE arm so far - seems a bit scattered and doesn’t really have a cohesive strategy. VP in PE - LBOs

+2 Wouldn't be surprised if in  a couple years sophmores in HS start networking on LinkedIn. Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 I had what I consider a very good associate WLB at a MF and my hours (below). So is it possible? Yes, but you're looking closer to the 60-70 hour range and not the 50-60 hour range. Non-Deal time:  VP in PE - LBOs
