Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Any color on the opportunistic credit team? And comp / views at the more senior level? Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Gun to my head I would probably pick AFM because of the co-op and the additional year. When you're off-cycle you aren't competing against the Ivey and Queens kids generally so that is always a plus. farpavilions
+1 Im in one of these schools, feel free to dm aaaaakdnxsodh
+1 Can’t speak to growth or performance but know they’ve grown rapidly. Have known former associates and don’t think it’s a great culture / experience.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Bump, great question LendingFanatic1
+1 you're welcome French-monkey
+1 I had a big deck to put together. I could have used Claude and done it in 20 minutes but we have this French analyst Pierre. He worked until 2am doing the same thing. Pierre is better than Claude:  Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 Yes Europeans aren't even considered real people until they have a masters. nutmegger189
+1 Bro got his gf stolen by someone in S&T JaredVennettsQuant
+1 I bet he is insecure with what you do babe. It's just a job btw  FinanceGirlieee
+1 Recent MIT MSRED grad, feel free to ping.  LineofCredit
+1 Coming from IB, you already know the deal mechanics, but SMB financials are an absolute mess compared to corporate/public files. Hanlon
+1 The mistake here is comparing industries instead of seats. Ex-consultant in Tech
+1 I am in the London IB scene - so I can help here for sure. Associate 2 - Boutique Tech IB
+1 Fellow Cali resident here - don’t rule out the cc route. Have a few buddies who took full advantage of the 2-yr free program offered by Cali cc’s and transferred to t20 schools, and broke into top eb / bb groups. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Of course you knew BLM would come up because the topic is political violence! If we were talking about planting trees in the Amazon, it would likely not have come up. NoEquityResearch
+1 Just going to leave this here: Hags28
+1 Yes, something like 6 bps per year which adds up! leftcoastlenny
+1 BigBucksMWhat about one of the lower ones like Columbia Chicago or Northwestern?  Nobody Man
+1 Keep your network warm for fall drops, other than that nothing much Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Yeah I'm envisioning my life getting way better once I land a FT role or at least getting back to a large IB, when that is I'm not sure. I also was not in a good place this summer as I said in the original post. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Linear(I would specify as Rates Algo) and Non linear(Rates vol, Exotics) have completely different exits opps but both have great exit opps if seated in right place and good pnl Associate 1 in S&T - FI
+1 Thanks for doing this, really insightful post. Currently a senior who interned at a MF in their ABF arm and will be returning FT. Prospect in Private Credit
+1 Think it's probably hard to generalize, but if it is an immediate start would assume they'd have a preference for wrapping up a hiring process sooner rather than later. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 10/10 post. Good perspective. +SB Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 Probably, wouldn't know though cause my account can't even give MS. Felt the need to create my first comment ever to respond to Oz's genius takes. max6
+1 I investd in search backed deal and he has a good point, assuming this is the type of entrepreneurship youre interested in (vs lets say VC backed entrepreneurship). subsdsa
+1 Why not both? Banking career is yours, your woman might be not in the future. Green Zeus
+1 Got it, in your case (for PE and HF interviews), have they typically gotten back to you ASAP or normal for it to stall for 2+ weeks  notmadepublic
+1 Ignore my title, I'm in a very similar situation as you. Wondering what folks think are the advantages of gaining operational experience prior to joining HF (and after PE)? Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Oh ok, I understand. Thanks for the response Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Taxes are probably much lower in the LCOL state. Don’t forget, the incremental 13% or whatever is really like 25% when evaluated on the take home. Keeping 65% of your salary is 30% more than keeping 50%. local_finance_bro
+1 Typically things move quicker than 2+ weeks if they like you / you're getting prioritized. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Has anyone received ft offers as yet? anjonymous
+1 Realistically marrying rich is for females only. Most relationships don’t work out either, better off betting on yourself than some female. If this post isn’t just troll. MyLossesAreUnrealizedSoTheyDontExist
+1 Analyst here You’re fine, don’t sweat it. The bank already cut intern class sizes, the offer is really yours to lose Analyst 3+ in Risk Mnmgt
+1 Thanks for making the thread. I don’t have a question, but I’m also a TMT banker (VP level), so happy to answer questions and bounce ideas off each other. Mastery 7 IB Shitter
+1 Not great signs I guess, thanks for the input - I guess not even worth shooting a note to the interviewer or HR? notmadepublic
+1 I did my summer analyst program remotely from my college apartment so I’m kinda jealous, NYC is awesome. johnny-mnemonic
+1 I tried German Volume Training once and thought I was fine… until I went to sit on the toilet the next day and nearly called 911. khan.mmua
+1 They laid off a CS FinTech MD and his ED, who were both ballers, and replaced them with, you guessed it, a junior MD for Barclays. Decline continues. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Georgetown recruiting is fine if you join a finance club. One thing to look at with SFS is the BGA cross-program with the MSB. Cornell is a miserable school. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Vetted list! One company that truly belongs here is Junkies Coder junkies coder
+1 I think the optimal is having a flexible enough capital base to do both public and private. On the private side, you get to take a longer term view, which is great for turnarounds.  tiger_rawring
+1 Late to responding here - I recruited out of PE 3 months back after spending large portion of my career there. ALLCATS
+1 This is great advice. I had a period of prioritizing exercise over sleep and didn't work out well for me Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 They were still in training and hadn’t even show up in-office for their first actual day. Didn’t even start the internship yet tbh. OP has AIDs Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Again, you need to re-read what i wrote. I am fully aware what you are saying and I actually agree with you; I am just pointing out that my question was not being answered by your comments. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 bros salty he couldnt land WIC hahaha CannedBread72
+1 sure, except dopamine, unlike nutrition, is not essential for survival. Kevin25
+1 I'll play devils advocate and say UNC - Chapel Hi..... Is what an idiot would say, send the boy to Dartmouth, congrats on getting him into an Ivy. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Cope The one field where there's no gender quota driven hiring ends up with all men ----> random woman: "its because the men's egos make them biased against women!" Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 It’s illegal for a landlord to make tenants pay their broker fees. Tenants can hire their own broker and pay a fee if they want… kinda unnecessary though, would just use StreetEasy Generic Banker
+1 37% Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 When I recruited IBVine was free, know they’ve revamped it but generally would say yes it’s worth is. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Kevin25oof you hurt my feelings. how can I survive if teenagers on WSO don't think my job is prestigious. WaffleFalafel
+1 as someone who has worked in the industry, i disagree completely with this opinion. to any prospects reading, it’s not that deep. give every restructuring firm a chance. skurt123
+1 I think I’ve answered most outstanding questions. I’ll also write about outside in, how to identify funds that are more likely to be sexist, and people who are more likely to be sexist  James' Bond

+1 "Load up the guns" = Buy as much as possible "Take no prisoners"= Aggressive negotiation stance "We're going to war"= Hostile takeover proceeding Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 From my experience interviewing FT for IB, it’s not enough to just know the 400 questions anymore (it’s a good starting point) but to look at even more advanced questions. Would recommend IB Vine. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 From the perspective of someone who was at Real Assets PE and now works in (C)VC, I would say that there is no single resource and that the best way to prepare is to think strategically rather than quantitatively. AltBoy
+1 i guess so buddy Eman_Kant
+1 I would say operations more broadly - the org is so small you end up doing everything and anything. I got it through my personal contacts. Hours are intense. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 bump Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Not reading all that, but basically all are great options. The difference between recruiting results from each is marginal. Just pick the school you like the most. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 ^in similar boat - been in the VP seat for a few years now and both myself / other mid levels at my firm are sort of hanging around the hoop, seeing if performance can turn a corner / carry will be worth something. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 did he graduate from X in 2007? Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Jeff / Moe / Laz tend to be strong Intern in IB-M&A
+1 I think empirical evidence actually show that lump sump investing is always better. Probably not fun for the heart in a bear market tho Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 OMG it was just a jooooke no cap just calm yoself sista Maybe something more than "this" would be even more value-add? throwingawaytime
+1 OP here, would love to chat and PM you. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Know 2 directors went to Truist. They’re trying to build out their PU&I/Project Finance group more from what I recall. Not 100% if it was Corp,PM, or IB specifically though Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Do commodities S&T in Houston Intern in HF - Other
+1 Oxymoronic KageSelly
+1 eTrade has some MS Research. Research Analyst in ER
+1 I do mostly illiquid / privates - buying secondary at sufficient discount, its effectively creating the loan at low LTV / leverage which provides downside protection. If its pure secondary (ie. Research Analyst in HF - Event
+1 UBS has shown they are willing to get rid of better bankers in favor of worse Barclays bankers Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Closing a shit load. All of our teams. Refinances and acquisition financing. There was a time for a a month or two when agencies were smoking us, but overall…. fantastic year. bigbaboon
+1 Awesome, thanks for the recs. Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+1 Yeah for sure - I think I’m leaning HBS as well at my core. sytycd
+1 Lol you are confirmed retarded. Take a look at the junior class of most hedge funds - non-white is more than represented on a per-capita basis. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 . Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 in Europe* Could argue top 3 globally alongside MIT and Princeton. Investment Analyst in PE - Other

+1 Hags28
+1 Good team overall, maybe not as strong as EVR's Tech or Media/Telecom groups, but still a great place. Honestly, you can't go wrong with almost any of EVR's M&A groups - they all have good dealflow overall Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 It will be a problem if you're not comfortable working on China deals, which most sector coverage teams are quite heavily exposed to.  agudeza
+1 No one in SF?…the whole office deserves to be cancelled Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Can also throw in my hat on Dartmouth. Much more common name on the street from what I have seen. Hags28
+1 junkinthetrunk25 VP in PE - Other
+1 May I ask how do you get in front of rich friends' parents? I have some of those as well and I believe the first step is to actually convince those rich kids who might have cash to fund your projects? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Spite is a hell of a motivator..  im not very creative
