+1 I’ve seen the same ranking way to many times from a “VP” (probably from BofA/Citi) trying to justify that PJT/EVR are below them in the UK Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+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 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 Would be interesting if there were tax credit incentives like there have been for renewables. Fast and Fiduciary
+1 Only their conduit program is still alive and kicking but every other vertical (warehouse, balance sheet and SASB) pretty much dead in the water. There has been a bunch of directors and VPs that left. Associate 1 in RE - Comm

+1 From what I’ve seen it’s just markets, risk and private bank. Anyone know when IB FT will be dropping ? Intern in IB - Gen
+1 As someone in this industry, seeing my colleagues use it and other teams with their own distinct philosophies also use these AI tools, it strikes me as odd how people say “AI can already do an RA job” etc. Laowai666
+1 Disagree. Sure if you are an asshole in the boardroom you are likely an asshole to your juniors. But there are many folks in this industry that are able to do the former but not let themselves fall into the latter. evergrande
+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 i think mainly Altman Solon and EYP SSG group would be worth it, not many other T2 firms are much better than Deloitte Strategy for tech exits, and also, HR will be really confused if you re-recruit so you'd have to do unn Prospect in Consulting

+1 Depends on the BS bank, most MMs will beat out the ones you listed in terms of exits. Intern in IB - Gen
