+1 Puertorrican here. Born and raised on this island pretty much all my life. Love this island with all my heart. Went to Boston for four years of undergrad and did my MBA in the South. Came back to work in finance.  monkeyMAN8008
+1 That's a fair point and a valid one. Most Canadians I work with disagree with how our provincial and federal government has handled the economy and housing.  FinnesseGod
+1 If you are this worried about recruiting, I don't see how you would last in an internship let alone full time. LAXPipeline
+1 Has anyone heard back since Hirevue yet?  Gheowghwourhg388
+1 Lol are people really believing in this? What kind of brain damage you need to suffer to convince yourself to this BS? 0singles_litters
+1 That's a valid concern, and I'm glad you brought it up. Fair point. Nurse Rahma Dikhinmabhatt
+1 Ce qui rend cette approche particulièrement convaincante, c'est la transformation de l'externalisation, d'un pari risqué en un processus bien plus structuré. RogerWilliams
+1 For IB its HV-->SD (No R1s) for everyone. Dont know about CB GShlaker
+1 Did anyone receive an invitation today?  Intern in IB-M&A

+1 C'est beaucoup plus fréquent qu'on ne le pense, sur tout ap rès une promotion. RogerWilliams
+1 Hah, this brings back memories. I was an hourly intern as a summer associate and got in trouble with HR for working over 40 hours a week. Fun times.  Don't expect to make any extra money this summer.  CRE
+1 Honnêtement, presque personne ne reste concentré 12 heures d'affilée, même dans le secteur bancaire. Ce qu'on apprend à faire, c'est à enchaîner les périodes de concentration intense et à minimiser les pertes de temps. RogerWilliams
+1 I do not believe it wears large at all. I like 40mm as a dress watch size, especially given the dial on this one. Outsiders
+1 There are quite a few multi managers here now, but fewer teams / firm. Woodline and Freestone also stand out. Industry coverage is broad. Tortuga Vallarta
+1 Two weeks ago I received an email asking me to fill a gform for my preferences. IbHCA
+1 Truly don’t understand all these comments of people saying they’ve been worked to mental implosion and just saying “I know where you’re coming from, keep going and hang in there” — are you people sick?? Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 The dancing Israelis on 9/11 GS under Blankfein
+1 Idk why you wouldn’t try networking Works at Goldman Sachs
+1 This thread has been formed by my opinions developed by working for an “American” BB. I have successfully broken in and outcompeted internationals at every level.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 From my understanding, hiring immigrants were not a function of DEI (pre h1b visa changes), it's because they will listen and work harder. I understand your first argument more than your second.  superinv123
+1 Know all of the levfin guys at my bank. The only guys with CB experience are the ones that came out of school in a rotational program and networked their way in. It will depend on who you know, imo Banker1290
+1 There’s a lot of truth in that, even if the wording is a bit blunt. Most people confuse being “busy” with doing deep thinking, when they’re really not the same thing at all. RogerWilliams
+1 What's wrong with trillionaires or billionaires? If the top 1% disappeared, a lot of our critical businesses would slow down and innovation would take a step back Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 On parle souvent de WP Carey différemment des postes classiques en banque d'investissement ou en private equity, car il s'agit davantage d'une REIT (société d'investissement immobilier cotée) avec une orientation opération RogerWilliams

+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, a two-week delay after an HR phone screen, especially when the hiring manager is unavailable, is not uncommon. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 It doesn't today, from the very little I've read on it. I don't think anyone is saying that spaced-based compute is a reality today. CRESF
+1 Yeah I've been thinking about the same thing...depressing but true. Thanks for your advice! wildjobhunter23333
+1 ideally you're having comp expectation discussions in the early stages to know whether or not either party wants to proceed with the process... Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Anyone know what the word is? curious George 2345
+1 Harder on buyside, but for sell side just look at proxy and see who got paid how much  Teller in IB - Cov
+1 Thoughts on an MFin? They typically have decent IB outcomes, and would likely be 1 year instead of 2. SearchLookFind
+1 Not surprising. That bank has become a cesspool for low talent and frustrated peeps. Works at Bank of New York Mellon
+1 If everything goes according to plan it doesn't impact and can lead to more promote as you pay off pref quicker. patsfan947
+1 LBS will have the best outcome out of all those options, but equally will be hardest to get in. GL ! rpdwldn
+1 Associate 2 in PE - GrowthPay is shit Define just how shit my good sir Hapax Legomenon
+1 I broke into this industry successfully.. I don’t think a single job in IB at the junior/mid/senior level should go to foreigners and I think Americans should prioritize the economic wellbeing of other Americans.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 But I cannot shake the feeling about her being older than me (she is 32, about seven years older) PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Helpful for investing skills imo and developing own unique viewpoint/ opinions dumbape1
+1 Literally follow the status quo when people tell you to just minor something you are interested in. It's a unique experience in college and my most enjoyable classes were my minor.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Reality is people just care you are doing a good job and actually taking on real tasks. No one is giving you a return offer over being last in office. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Nah man. There’s are India teams. Go there. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Def not true lol, coverage groups consistently get better exits than EGRC Intern in IB - Gen
+1 congrats on wcm rabbitfootbill
+1 I know most recruit through Cornell. Now if you dont have the time commitment or have already graduated, Cornell does a watered down summer program I believe. teddythebear
+1 Not going to comment on costs.  Notre Dame - by far your best bet for finance. I work with several ND alumni (and i'm on the east coast, not Chicago). See them all the time in industry. The Real Donnie Azoff
+1 I really enjoyed this post. It was nice to see data driven rankings. Is it possible for you to do more rankings like this for other sectors like Tech or Industrials? Prospective Intern in IB
+1 I like what you said about maximizing options. Gideon Rose
+1 Think your best bet is to either try north into the Old Street/Clerkenwell area or to go south into London Bridge  Monkey.D.
+1 Theres probally 15 other threads like this on the forum. Quick tip -> search your question + "wso" on google, its search filter is much better then wso's internal one Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 idk if you’re just always a dick as highlighted by your username and comment but ik you’re out of touch with the industry. this is common. butterboy
+1 Not only are you at risk of getting sued yourself if they find out, but you also subject your new firm to the risk of being sued themselves. MMPM
+1 They’re about the same. I’d say they’re similar quality brands - pro of investment sales is you do transactions, pro of AM is you’re actually managing money. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 Uh, problem is that you're just gonna get filtered out. These days I think almost every student I see entering IB has PE internships and such. usernameladiesman217
+1 imagine being pissed off that the people who risk their lives to deliver your burrito are the wrong skin color  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Just start taking SSRI antidepressants, that way you won't be physically attracted to anyone anyway Angus Macgyver
+1 Don’t do it girl - not worth it and if it doesn’t work you might resent your fiance nothinglol
+1 This is going to be a different lense but seriously get your testosterone checked. The traditional Indian diet is terrible for male hormones and this causes low testosterone in the whole population. nontrgetplz_
+1 This is an IB target school ranking, not a college prestige ranking. MIT is certainly Tier 1 if you're talking about the quality of education and its highly competitive admissions standards. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Bloomberg saying 10% The Fool of Finances
+1 you know what's easier than synthetic organs? cloning a human to be born without a brain. think we pretty much already have the rest covered. pbandjpartners
+1 Never dealt with them personally but out West they are hmm how do I put it, different? Never see them at any kind of event. Most folks in the industry know everyone else at all the other big shops that do deals. pere797

+1 From a first-year RVA analyst, COL is amazing and you will have the opportunity to save a crazy amount. Exit ops are the exact same (just depend on the bank you are at). snoopyrules
+1 You cannot be this retarded. You cannot still think in 2026 the purpose of a hedge fund is to outperform the market. They’re not sending their best anymore  TopBoy.-
+1 I started my career at PIMCO in one of their junior investment adjacent roles and now work on an investment team at a different firm. feel free to PM me atlantis68
+1 It really depends on the firm and their recruitment process. Many firms do wait until all Summer Associate (SA) programs wrap up so they can see how many full-time positions they actually need to fill. alihussain3
+1 Good write up.  On promote/fees, 2 & 20 doesn't usually mean 20% share of all profits / NAV increase, it is typically above a hurdle rate (ex: 8%). Investment Analyst in PE - Other
+1 Growing a company from $8M to $50M with an upcoming exit is a strong credential. You’re not starting over — you’re pivoting. Quick, realistic next paths: ledgerlabs
+1 If you're going right back into consulting, then probably no point in getting an MBA unless you clearly see that there's no upward movement possible without one. Ervil LeBaron
+1 Transfer out easily. If you want banking, transfer ASAP. Look to UChicago, Columbia, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Penn for your transfers. The first three are very transfer friendly and recruit very very well. Ervil LeBaron
+1 8'Banana_Stacker'2 TLBandChill
+1 Find new friends. All of my friends respected when I had to miss things because of recruiting and work. A good friend would respect your hustle and keep inviting you without getting upset. BuySideIntern
+1 https://discord.com/invite/j3YYrnCa7z 714_Lemmon_Legend
+1 I think the associate hiring market is really robust right now. I managed to lateral up market from my current MM seat to an EB and had a few BB offers on the table. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 +1OP don't be an office grunt at this state. Join an MMA gym, embrace the arts, pick up hobbies, meet new friends in these hobbies. Anything but sitting in a cube all day.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 It’s just a very tired narrative to juice AUM and continue to fleece more what I assume are retail LPs. I’ve worked in SE development for about a decade now. larry david
+1 Ignore title, just accepted an offer at one of the below firms in Manchester. Corporate Underdevelopment
+1 RBC Calgary, BMO Metals and Mining Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Was in a similar boat in college - definitely went away or meaningfully different after ~3 years of banking. make sure you channel your energy wisely, take enough breaks to the extent you can and balance ups and downs. MnIGuy
+1 I'd personally go to Baylor, unless ur going to do sports TCU isn't worth it (obviously scholarships and costs factor in). I'd rather live in Waco than Fort Worth, but I also would never want to live in the DFW. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 If you're aiming for investment banking, Wharton remains one of the strongest options due to its unparalleled placement into top firms like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and PJT. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Think this is for lateral hires AK6969
+1 I am not talking avout already getting displaced. But if you have GPT enterprise - it can already create ppt and xls, slow and bad at this stage but it will get a lot better.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Should’ve stated that I was top bucket and have been in the seat for 3 years. But yes it’s a good gig overall  Works at Wells Fargo and Company
+1 I guess people simply got to see the reality and not the Wolf of Wall street version wallstrett
+1 I've heard EVR/JEFF/LAZ/UBS dont model but not 100% sure. HL FSG is more relationship management, not really IBD tbh Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 ur fried af twin. take this bs to reddit Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 My guy...I think your dream is dead if you STAY in PE VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Those plus people with family money, non-finance entrepreneurs, foreign oligarchs, etc. kuf135
+1 You're not emailing companies. You're emailing people. They're just like other people. Establish a relationship and see what comes of it. nutmegger189
+1 I'm 19, so I'll share my perspective on a few of these points: londonraccoon
