+1 EVR Menlo only has Tech, no TMT. NY team too is broken into Tech and Media & Comms. Not sure where you got that either office has TMT Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Haven’t heard back yet and don’t know anyone with an offer so far profilename
+1 Would be interesting if there were tax credit incentives like there have been for renewables. Fast and Fiduciary
+1 why does everyone automatically talk about andrew tate with bugattis. its insane that only on wso can people work at gs or go to hyspm and never have seen a bugatti Chiron owner. nachocheese
+1 no. that was an example based off a real bugatti chiron owner I met. they own 20-30 industrial warehouses near ports and a huge commercial office complex and other side businesses. zuriwasser
+1 What school? If not Queen's / Ivey and a investment club it's time to leave NYC alone. UBSFanBoy
+1 ^. Be yourself. That’s what got you in that room in the first place. Work hard, be kind, thrive. zak22
+1 Gotta be FF Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Yes, and it’s why I moved to Texas from NY years ago  SmackOfHam
+1 Did you hear back from the group interview? dwawadhuwahuadw
+1 If the lawyer is good enough even the best prenups won't mean shit for anything that can be argued to the court to be marital assets, regardless of what you and your spouse agreed to contractually. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 I’ve met with most ABS/ABF groups at banks and am starting to meet with sponsors. zak22
+1 Counter point - you have to live in Puerto Rico and be verifiably physically present there for half of the year. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Top BB (GS/MS). The interview process does not mean interns are technically skilled, especially since they recruit over a year before they start the job. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 People with your mindset are part of the problem. Partner in PE - LBOs
+1 Would steer clear for the time being. Their First Brands exposure was massive. Investment Analyst in PE - Other
+1 What does pay look like vs globals I hear senior associates at some globals can make up to $500k newg
+1 With almost half shitty bofa stock and then a hard promotion block to director because they won't fire ppl who don't even come in to work! Analyst 3+ in Private Credit
+1 ASO2 200 base 150 bonus - top bucket TC:350  Base bump to 225 monk monk
+1 Don't listen to that guy. It's ChatGPT slop. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 To be fully transparent, WF is not a great place for buy-side exits. The good momentum of the bank on M&A league tables is not getting reflected on exits yet. Even UBS or Jefferies can offer better options. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 What happened? 178888888
+1 You can times this sentiment by a thousand for hedge fund hires. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Questions like this always interest me because what are you going to do if we say it's too plain? Tell your manager "this isn't close enough to IB for me" then quit with nothing else on the table? nutmegger189
+1 I actually agree with this sentiment and don’t mind it being applied for gigs that don’t require much mental horsepower. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 I know you work in IB, so cause and effect get muddled up, but there’s a reason why the West tolerates it and others don’t. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Misrepresenting my argument. There's a difference between "pressure" and outright coup d'état of a sovereign government. GordonGekko87
+1 What do you mean, you "brought a developer a site"? Ozymandia
+1 2/3rd of the fund is co-invests across BX strategies as you mentioned, but ~1/3rd of the fund is for direct investments and they've decided to use the vehicle for their middle-market PE strategy (in response to similar Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 banking is fake hard (unreasonable deadlines + people yell at you + work a lot on drudgery) HFPM15
+1 Largley depends on the people you're talking to. At a NYC networking event, being from a well-known / respected employer turns more heads and opens more doors.  NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Definitely stress. You can try to cut back on coffee or substitute tea, change up diet as well. Ultimately it may only get better as you feel more confident and in control of your role.  malts
+1 Definitely visit the doctor, but more than likely it will just be chalked up to stress from work, which is probably the case. analystbabooon
+1 Depends on what the hours actually are. Manager in CorpDev
+1 Corp Dev Manager, MCOL city at 10B PubCo. ~7 YOE 140k Base 20% bonus, 20% in RSUs Associate pay was 120K base, 10% Bonus no RSUs EngagedbutLame
+1 The differing impacts of cap rates changes aren't exponential. They are a convex relationship is what you mean to say.  Director in RE - Other
+1 Solid list, although I would also add Zoolatech to the companies worth considering, especially for complex enterprise and customer-facing mobile products. viktorzhadan
+1 bump bigdawgPAT
+1 i went to a very hard school in Chicago and watched my friends enjoy life, and get better grades, and (in some cases) ultimately end up in places like fucking private equity and MBB after attending a big party school in th HuskiesRE
+1 I have the same friend slinging cloud at AMZN. Modestly above average, decent social skills, decent work ethic / integrity, good looking...  Anonymous Monkey
+1 You are a self admitted cuckhold, why would anyone on this forum or in life take advice from a man who lets bulls tag team his wife? And then hating on a man who is far more successful than you could ever be? therealgekko
+1 Simple health kitchen for protein without the excess calories. As the name suggests, it’s basic but does the job from a fitness / diet perspective. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I think its still very impressive even if its a capital markets team at a low tier BB Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Yeah. When I interviewed for SA at the MMs, never got anything outside of the guide and knowing some things about the industry. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Christophiish LooseLeaf
+1 You got me there bro, you might be a wizard haha Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 What are folks' thoughts on starting a boutique PFG+PCA firm given the consistent growth of the market? Is the space already too crowded / dominated by Evr, Laz, Jeffries, etc? Quint101
+1 Not in PE myself but my mentor was an associate and heard a similar story. Ended up working out great for him as he came in as Head of Finance while they transitioned out the CFO. Manager in CorpDev
+1 Think your pitch just needs to straightforward and not rely on assumptions you can’t justify. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 Felt the same way in PE so jumped ship to HF to see if I could accelerate timing of more meaningful cash comp earlier in my life. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Everyone who works there is the biggest herb Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Don’t disclose. I had a misdemeanor assault charge (dismissed not yet expunged) didn’t raise any flags, no reason for you to raise it Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I agree, it’s totally plausible that your old boss is ruining these opportunities. It’s impossible to find out but I went through something similar. chimpmonkie512
+1 Always thought a dermatologist would be the most elite job. Hyper competitive to get into but once you're practicing it's $500k+ for 40 hours a week.  Associate 3 in IB - CB
+1 End goal is to be rich  Read “how to get rich” by ramit Sethi or whatever it’s called  Go corpdev and use your money wisely  Vp2 not intern  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Was in a process with them. The majority of the fund is co-investment across the platform but they also do their own dedicated MM deals.  CEO in IB - Gen
+1 Bump hsc_2020
+1 Most hiring teams will assume you don't have any deal modeling experience, so would probably have to downgrade banks to MM or LMM. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 It’s pretty solid advice tho  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Math+philosophy would not put you at a substantive disadvantage versus math+econ. As long as you're doing the math major, banks will know you have the quantitative skills. Anonymous Monkey
+1 Cornell Hotel by a mile. Cornell Dyson is good too, as you can easily tap the Hotel school's club infrastructure. Otherwise, just be a top student at any undergrad business program and you have a good shot. Anonymous Monkey
+1 Yeah people don’t consider this aspect of having a massive talent / context window, especially in projects that last a looooong time. flipcup
+1 My guy - if you're in the room, it's yours to lose. Man up. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 University of Hawaii bros… it’s over for us Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 It's not tough to get into HSW after 3 years at Bain. Depending on geo, you will have a lot of your supervisors / peers coming from one of the schools or you could at least network with them. Felixfab
+1 It is worth to start in PEG as an AC, but not to break into BizOps. PEG as an AC would mainly bring you in corporate M&A, PE/VC jobs and sometimes HF. Felixfab
+1 Platinum? bigguy99
+1 i don't think they'll revoke. i didn't realize you could only apply for one role when applying and attempted to for both of the above roles. recruit52
+1 some kid at Vanderbilt going to pjt exposed people with offers for sending messages with slurs to hr and revoked their offers. no_home_jerome
+1 Stability is definitely a positive. The transition from one location to another is unstable itself but so is the unknown. boondock.lake
+1 It’s time to give nyc back to the Lenape  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Anonymous Monkey: They have a prop power desk in Houston? When did the desk start and who’s it led by? barrelbandit
+1 My guy it don’t matter since before or after you didn’t get enough to not make a post on wso. If you got to ask you you clear ain’t getting enough regardless.  hedopi3701
+1 I understand, and I agree; moreover, I’m not making a point about prestige, although I climbed my way up from an unknown regional bank to a no-name NYC bank and then to an EB. CapTableTriage
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know: GPA/Transcript Post-Grad Importance: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 I’d maybe be interested in this. Have a client that fits these guys. How to find you to speak. Director in CorpStrat
+1 Spoke to a former Jefferies recruiter today. Apparently OC hiring slows all the way down around this time and will pick up in January. I don’t think they are scheduling first rounds after OA just yet. WSoMonkey93
+1 What is the right number for doing active buy and builds? Imo it's 2 but maybe I'm not going hard enough in the paint. Beyond that and you get sloppy.  What does Audax do? Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 In a similar position in several ways: interest in opportunistic credit is very similar to OP for those same reasons (uninterested in PE/DL) but keeps coming into question for a few reasons. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Sometimes you don't have an expert on the subject. For example, I was work on a rent stabilized portfolio in queens and needed to quickly get up speed with the current legislation, subsidies etc.  BridgeGuardian1
+1 can you share more about PU&I charleswu
+1 $1m total comp seems to be a reasonable baseline expectation, hope for a bit on top Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 These sound about right Managing Director in IB - Cov
+1 Mostly multiples, then add a layer of vibes on top Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 You can coast in most coverage groups by being bottom-mid bucket but the comp is already bad so wouldn’t recommend. Theres some groups like PFG and sponsors where hours are pretty chill  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 No, I haven't, because I have an IQ above room temperature Intern in Consulting
+1 Just be chill, don’t be annoying. Be well liked in the office. Being well liked is something you can’t really control, it’s up to how the other people in the office feel about you. ilhbwc
+1 GoingGoingCaughtIsItREPEOh nice. I bet Netanyahu will be next, right?  IsItREPE
+1 CoinEnjoyerIran only has issues with the US because of Israel. Our foreign policy should be focused on restraining Israel, not Iran GordonGekko87
+1 Can a UK student apply to an OC abroad? Curious.  I have been based in the UK all my life but do hold BB and MM internships in IBD.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 ojapar20 GordonGekko87
+1 that’s factually incorrect. DEI has significant impact but it doesn’t constraint white men at all. It’s a system created by them and for them. VP in IB - Restr
+1 Late bump but about a quarter through reading this book, "Winning Moves: 105 Proven Ways to Create Value in Private Equity-Backed Companies." It does a great job explaining why B Business School in CorpStrat
+1 thank you so much. I have a bunch: Firstly, what are your goals & background? What were your other options & why'd you choose Georgetown? Are you ft/pt, online/in-person? pbgrxavel
+1 You're absolutely right—this shift in the private equity (PE) landscape is a fascinating reflection of how the industry has matured and evolved. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 I've often had a debate with a former roommate of mine about whether "work ethic" and "skill" can always outpace the industry you work in. marketMergerMaddie
+1 Don’t bother going to NYC every weekend, most networking is done online nowadays (also what exactly is your plan once you get to NYC, just walk into a bank and talk to people???). hsjdndjj
+1 I would refer to this post above, you're in a similar bucket:   PM in HF - Other
+1 With transfer, you can honestly get into most places. If you have a really good why transfer story + good grades/ECs, it's not terribly hard. Most people just skimp on the story and then aren't strong enough elsewhere. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 While I agree that it’s a pain, I got plenty of calls without being in a club or a frat. I feel like you are just not reaching out to enough people. I think you’d benefit a lot from asking an upperclassmen for help. Intern in IB - Gen
