+1 Loser swe2ibd
+1 Awesome. I have some questions too.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I feel like it’s obvious groups (whether age, race, or whatever) are not monoliths, but if there’s enough of a chance that there will be a negative reaction (I.e. mroowwww
+1 This post is so clearly AI amzwar
+1 Anonymous Monkey: Bro I need to work at WF what the hell Paradise Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+1 if you’re from NYC and you’re a Jets fan, you probably need therapy. If you pick your favorite team based on which is the most “finance bro,” you definitely need your ass kicked.  IsItREPE
+1 "If you're young, the boring/dry REPE is good pedigree/reps and you can subsequently transition to the developer/operator." jl12

+1 ik this post is bait but ill bite since there are people who think like this. at one of the so called success banks but if you actually think like this youre a fucking loser. superinv123
+1 Yes, they pay top of street, but it may not continue forever. They’re a fairly small team of ~25 people and are closing deal after deal right now in a red hot industry. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 It depends on the state of the market. There was a time where you could wet your finger and feel the wind to know if a deal would work. Hell, there was a time that you didn’t even need to do that.  IsItREPE
+1 they just said hire vue is having technical difficulties rn mmm720
+1 Yes. Development and acquisition deals don't pencil if the only thing you're capable of doing is underwriting them the way you did during the boom part of the cycle. Ozymandia
+1 Nope it’s mainly just direct PE buyout where they have started to step back to a more passive model Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Would much rather manage the wealth of Josh Harris, which is around $10bn that be at a MF. Seems like a lot of room for growth if it's just managing his and the wealth of his friends. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen

+1 Well, enjoy NYC! Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Agreeing with others in this thread, this is Big Brother type behavior. If they truly can’t trust you for some reason and need to know where you are at all times, then sure. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 This is an interesting topic. I don’t think my feedback is relevant here since I’m a note buyer but we honestly don’t do much. Associate 3 in RE - Comm

+1 WashU if you want to challenge yourself for fighting an uphill battle:) SMU Final Boss
+1 First, summer 2026 recruiting has been long done, you will be targeting summer 2027. Second, you 100% should take the GRE given a 3.3 is well below average for the competitive MFin programs. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 This thread is about Percheron (although it got wiped). They're saying the same stuff: Associate 1 in AM - Other
+1 Thats Jeff as a whole though, their industrials group definitely takes a bunch of state school kids.  Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+1 Can I ask when they got their invite? Thahks Intern in S&T - FI
+1 Anyone who thinks an IB analyst will do less work because of AI is an intern or freshman at best. Lester Grossman
+1 You'd be surprised. My old VP in banking at a euro BB would message me if I was on yellow for more than 10-20 minutes. And we had a spreadsheet tracker in our group to highlight what we accomplished each day. starbuckssalesdesk
+1 I guess bro IsItREPE
+1 Can get an accelerated first round if your mentor likes you. Build a good relationship with them and you should be in a strong spot. Cheebius Ceasar

+1 moneymaker03I'm not that light in my loafers lil bro Seems like you might be light in your reading comprehension though, lil bro WeatherController
+1 Nexus is also an Apollo spin-out. Cerberus, Platinum, One Rock and Pacific Avenue are similar in DNA Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Firstly you’re European so some of the US-centric advice doesn’t apply here due to the scope of opportunity being much smaller. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Smurf-obsessed MD, middle aged at least- asking do you like blue as a serious interview question - actually taking that answer as a critical hiring criteria - being so petty while making dad puns Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 See if you can get any intel from mutuals on the specific people you’re talking to. Analyst 3+ in Risk Mnmgt
+1 if the market was ripping, hiring would be ripping, yes, they're closely correlated.  But at the entry-level, I personally think the game as changed, irrespective of market conditions.   asmith_1
+1 username checks out Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 this feels very off-market. My first year associate comp was  like 260k all-in (4 years ago) and our latest fund size at the time was just under 750 mil.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Could you please explain why it would result in paying less and ability to advance career. Ideally an Analyst knows how well their position is performing and what the estimated position size is. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Do a top 15 MBA or nothing. MSF is effectively useless, as there is no real structured recruiting. Would be a very poor decision and put you right back where you started. VP in RE - Other
+1 Banana hammock Abusement Park
+1 Fair. Ngl banking isnt rlly meritocratic never was so kinda hard to draw the line. Gainone1572
+1 Recuited last summer and have been soft looking all year (NYC). Seems more active this year compared to past 3 years - tariff day pushed things out and 2023/2024 were silent. fdfdfdfd
+1 "why result in paying less?" - Well, I had a few successful pitches that made my PM money, but I did not get any acknowledgement - neither verbally nor through the bonus. whytho

+1 Damn I can’t relate to any of these replies, I was killing it from 21-25, shit was so effortless for me but it dropped off a lot after 25. BenBernyankin'
+1 I want to note (after some research and gut feelings too) -> The group I want is literally the BEST OF THE BEST in their niche and it's kind of common protocol to forward student's to HR. mindforge
+1 BBG actually wrote sth about this today, if that helps: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2 CollierV

+1 Headhunter is constantly bumping this one, which I’ve taken as a bad sign Works at Centerview Partners
+1 That is incredibly bizarre and I’d treat it as a culture red flag. FWIW the people I’ve known there were chill, and they’ve crushed it returns-wise. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 BWE announcement below. What do we think? Any news on who's picking up Lument?  Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 It’s been quite great here so far. saunachimp
+1 Was previously in a similar seat albeit at a much larger fund and saw most people exit to some type of event driven HF. It really depends on the nature of your fund e.g. Intern in AM - FI
+1 If you want to be in the deal world, few places are better to start than IB, assuming it's a real bank that does deals and not a low-volume broker. StrategyJunkie
+1 Strongly do NOT recommend. The interview process was fine and not overly technical. 2937439
+1 Hebbia is also so horrible it’s insane they’ve raised so much in VC funding. It takes so long and you can’t even adjust the intelligence of the model even though it’s LLM-agnostic Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yes, its modeled in standard way, I just more mean looking at current market rents (which can be hard to pin down in Industrial right now with some LL's just looking to occupy space), and having the conviction to Dev_WanaBe

+1 How long did you interview? Honestly stuff like this pisses me off, if they didnt have room in your budget, why did they even post the job to begin with VP in RE - Comm
+1 Might be worth checking out the Financial Times and/or WSJ for the latest news on the bank. tenthbox
+1 use this - https://app.the-trackr.com/us-finance-2027/summer-internships whenever it updates for 2028 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 HR here - you're the backup whilst they look for someone better/in budget range. WhiteRiceIronBowl
+1 Here's how ABR stands on 2026 production - the securitized FNMA business in the 2nd image would overlap with the total volume in the 1st. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 It’s not about performance it’s about need for your pod/Sr PM. But it’s not common. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 given the hilariously accelerated timelines being discussed (some banks are reportedly considering fall superdays, which could mean applications opening in late September or early October) I would not spend much time on cl Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Stop spreading misinformation and misleading folks. First off, it took Fund IV +2 years to close and they didn't even hit their target. Not sure that's really loved by the "LP world". As for making (or losing) money: LionTreeTheNextGSTMT
