+1 This is only 3.5 years. What have you been doing for the other 2.5? CRE Credit
+1 Thanks for the advice! I'm curious as to what I should include in a cold email/LinkedIn message. Should I express interest in working at the firm or just hearing about their experience? JJ656

+1 1.) Salaries won't increase again soon (there is no reason banks would need to do this now vs in the past they were raising to stay inline with PE salaries at the associate level) Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I graduated a few years ago so some might have changed, but I wouldn’t worry about this if I were you. You’ll quickly see what clubs are good and what interests you once you start! Intern in IB-M&A

+1 I personally would go with 4 assuming the capital is largely secured Connor_Roy18947

+1 Golden Cinderblock was S tier Antigue 107
+1 move alani nu up and reign down Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Mega cap deals are typically on much tighter timelines, which naturally causes late nights. Some firms also just require more in depth memos for IC so that’s a consideration as well. Associate 1 in Private Credit
+1 I would think of Stanford as more traditional entrepreneurship via startups. Harvard definitely has that route too. Another common thread across both is entrepreneurship through acquisition / search fund. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Thanks for insights. Congratulations on your HBS admission. princey.8999
+1 That seems like a really high starting salary for that role, I don't know how much more growth there is after that, but it starts pushing heavy into bonuses/commision from what I have heard from friends that do land acquis MonopolyMoney
+1 Anything except amphetamines is cope wuandale33
+1 heavies 31enterusername
+1 You are clearly using terms you do not understand. Stat arb is a quant strategy that is almost always fully automated by design. Benson Says

+1 Hearing last week in October to try to clean up costs and clear them in time to start 2027 Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 a/w lax or brown ur choice on preference lol Intern in IB-M&A

+1 Just have a girl do it for you, it’s normal war dog

+1 I know a Director dealing with this rn with a 2nd yr associate. She shows up at 11am and leaves at 4pm, goes on long coffee walks, doesn’t do much work, etc. Will go around saying he’s too intense / not being inclusive. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 Associate 3 in PE - LBOs Moonshallow
+1 Reminds me of one of those backup QBs who has ~15 years in the NFL but on 9 teams. Sometimes it's just lucky, you take an open role as they come. ironman32
+1 The person on this list for TD should be Mason lol. Not SB  sled wizard

+1 Focus on getting a return offer first Intern in IB - Cov
+1 the premise is half wrong. pods are meritocratic once you're a PM - eat what you kill, your payout is a cut of your P&L. LedgerShelf

+1 “Disdain among nyc financiers” Go back to Jeffery Epstein’s Wikipedia and get your AP world history assignment turned in rooseveltfan
+1 They just raised an oversubscribed 3.5bn fund above their target this year, so can't be that bad. Maybe it's just due to the longer-term nature of PE, but looks like they at least have another shot.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 i also go to a real east coast school and i'm also from california Prospect in Consulting
+1 No, maybe they wait until application period closes to review/send invites? funkymonkey18231

+1 This fund is an absolute joke and they are primarily SF based (actually Burlingame) VP in PE - LBOs
