+1 Thank you. Very helpful from a senior in college. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 bottom bucket  copenbud
+1 Partner in RE - Comm odog @digitalimmortality.com
+1 Truth of the matter is that it's now fairly common for many of the more desirable firms post MBA to hire people as senior associates for 1-2 years before the VP promote. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 You might be living under a rock or just lacking a lot of self-awareness. People from shitty schools land EVR/GS/CVP etc. all day long. In recent years, IB has become a lot more democratized. equitymuncher
+1 Tend to agree with the aforementioned analysis. NXRT from an analytical point and a P/AFFO is way overvalued probably true value is closer to $8.21 High to $4.63 low.  SteroidsNAspenWithPepties
+1 Managing partner who has helped students tor over a decade stephen4056
+1 thanks! I see - if office doesn't make a difference in earnings potential (due to the billable model), is there any difference in terms of how many hours you'd get i.e. are there busier/chiller offices? Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 DEL - didn't realize this double posted. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Its the same guy. Reported insane NW and LQ that either was transferred to him by his dad or flat out falsified Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Congrats! Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Genuinely fascinating how little of a value add this ai can be at times Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 100% agree with this. First job - great manager but didn’t like the role anymore. Second job - interesting work but manager was not a good fit for me at all. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 has anyone heard from citi tech ny spd last week? dbdbndfj
+1 Richard Lukaj is living the american dream. had a friend who worked for him a few summers ago (ignore title haven't updated mine yet). He literally became a senior MD at bear sterns at like 27 years old... Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Hours are long and group has had a lot of junior turnover.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Yes I got a call like 30 mins ago. Best of luck. PaulAllensMartini
+1 It is an inevitability (so long as the LLM bubble doesn't burst first). It would be an equity deal in which both sides effectively are controlled by one person. jl12
+1 you basically have to be autistic to get in to those firms. maybe the firms got bigger so the bar has been lowered slightly but still think you gotta be on the spectrum equitystrat
+1 Incredibly late reply on my end, but broke in via undergrad thestoicchimp
+1 986 Boxster. Best purchase ever. boxster
+1 mass balance (i'm only downstream) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I know I'm in the minority, but I actually kind of like this market. It's finally a buyer's market and there are so many options. Fred Fredburger
+1 In a vacuum it doesn't seem terrible, if it's real. jarstar1
+1 GS under BlankfeinO&G is interesting, but will the career still be there in 20 years or so? (question from a complete noob in OG) mw13
+1 Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. Agree with your take on working in a “finance” role in a corporate and how that’s less safe now. zecapoca
+1 Don't start ranting about crazy college nights or that you've pulled this girl that interned at my bank last summer (real story) Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Why do you dedicate as much space to an affinity group at your firm that you've been involved with for 3 months than you do for the actual job you've done for the last year? clutchmuffin
+1 Have you ever thought maybe you're interviewing duds because none of the top candidates want to work for your firm? clutchmuffin
+1 Leaving at the 1 year mark is fine if you have a clear reason, and since you want to start your own things later, a practical skill like marketing can really help. patrickjane2

+1 I was at a public MF as an associate before this role and am at a large cap UMM that has 1st quartile returns and money to deploy. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Good question. I haven’t been part of a true exit, and even if I had, I didn’t hold equity, so there wouldn’t have been any personal cash-out component. Most of these roles were ~2 years long. Sorry for the long novel Bunnies
+1 From memory the following HHs over the past few months:Darthmouth - KKR ABS, Blackstone PC, Apollo PCPER - GIC PCKEA - KKR credit oppsHinton rose - plenty on the distressed / HF credit roles Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Huge opportunity. Would jump on it with a hand raise if interested VP in IB - Cov
+1 What birdhouse890
+1 just need a little rent growth and well hit that pro forma 4% cap tinyrat
+1 nonu-r: It's been completely fabricated lol.  News article just came out. As anyone could have told the people upvoting this nonsense.  KerryHall
+1 many people shit on UBS IRL too, it just sounds like an awful place to work from the stories I’ve heard and then people posting here Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Sorry for the naivety, but why is A&M considered the gold standard? How does it compare to T2 management consulting (I say t2 bc on tier lists I see MBB as T1 and the rest below). huitt
+1 UVA puts out the biggest herbs on the planet, students at IU FUCK. If you want to sip on beers come to IU, if you want to guzzle nut go to UVA. ibchimp223
+1 They know they are inferior from the day 1 and gatekeep/act like assholes/go full hardo to make themselves feel better. birdhouse890
+1 Agreed. London recruiting may have bigger pipelines, but the amount of steps required allows a lot of very qualified applicants to fall through gaps. Germany values rel. experience above all else, London doesn’t. Intern in S&T - FI
+1 Pre-Kelley chill don’t be a bot and you’ll be fine (watch out for that one class tho) monk3ys
+1 heard citi ib ny process started and capm still reviewing resumes nontarget_2026
+1 FYI, it's just "Ukraine", not "the Ukraine".  jarstar1
+1 May not be of interest now as an old thread but my roommate worked there and gotta say looks like it changed alot, they were working same hours as me (IB M&A) on Big 4 pay. Anon76
+1 There is no doubt the current hiring and promoting practices across almost all industries in the UK more or less gives preferential treatment to women, this is especially the case for big corporations which are either obli miranmiran
+1 Maybe RE expanded too hard post covid and now there’s a hangover effect in the industry birdhouse890
+1 After 10 years of collecting checks in IB I switched to a job making 150-200k in NYC and I fucking love life. I saved enough to coastFIRE and have hobbies and friends outside of work. I feel like I have 0 stress. Associate 3 in IB - Gen

+1 Some banks are known to purposely over-hire interns and some have return offer spots for 90-100% of intern - really varies from group to group and bank to bank.  Manager in CorpStrat
+1 Uh oh Consultant in PE - Other
+1 Uh, this is actually a two-part question.                  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Odog always coming in with the most insightful comments.  Dev_WanaBe

+1 Those Albanian canons be firing  Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+1 if you could have coffee chats in person all the time, I’d hope you’d place better than bums in a corn field Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 If you don't mind focusing on multifamily, then I would say yes take the AM role if you can't directly lateral to acquisitions Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 One thing worth paying close attention to is how dependent the business is on the current owner. A company can look great financially but become a completely different operation once that person leaves. dean787
+1 I don't think you'd get an helpful answer if you ask recruiter lol jennyd_ng
+1 —— deleted ——  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I think the answer depends on what type of work interests you more, as these are two completely different worlds. RCJ92
+1 Based on my experience and conversations with others in the same boat, a newborn-infant-toddler amplifies the difficulty of everything around you. MF Dev
+1 Become a KGB spy if you’re interested in working at XTX.  Gashovercash
+1 Thanks, this is pretty much the concern I have. ftoib
+1 Don’t have investing advice, but hope you and your family are well, given the circumstances. That’s a hard thing to go through, especially at this point in your life. asdf1248
+1 I would probably just skip MBA and look to move back into finance without it. Could probably shoot for more VP level roles. Amazon Prime
+1 Probably #2. Unfortunately nothing is ever guaranteed (no firm will put it in writing) but assuming you trust the firm/people and they you a verbal handshake that’s probably the most fair / likely outcome VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Re: only IB Emory is a great option if your goal is IB. As someone who went there, no firm is out of reach imo. With that said, there’s a good amount of kids recruiting and you may end up one of many. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 You’re asking the right questions early, which helps a lot with CPA planning. learntapainstitute
+1 Again, can't comment on the investments accurately as I don't work at BX. Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs

+1 About to close a $26B fund but yeah pretty broken Congrats on Golden Gate Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 anyone completed the hirevue yet? legends110
+1 Nobody who knows what they’re doing cares about ER stock calls. It’s hilarious when analysts actually market this unironically. Just call the CEO and get us some corp access bro, the job isn’t that deep Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 No real consistency these days since MBA hiring has fallen out of favor in general anyways. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 BuySideIntern Associate 2 in PE - LBOs

+1 hopingaroundI found gs people to be the sharpest and most no-nonsense. Possess a lethal level of competence and thick skin.  IsItREPE
+1 Are you financially well off? If so, Wharton. If you’re like middle class/average income household, would take stern. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 "HF that did very well" didn't his hedge fund blow up with investors getting 50-60 cents on the dollar back including all early distributions? Intern in ER
+1 Good bank with deal flow - every weekend like clockwork Bank of America - enjoy your Saturday! Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Interesting insight. Is your rollup sector focused? With larger funds partnering and hiring to deploy AI in portcos, would the playing field not level out? How much larger is the upside where you are? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Yikes, how much are you down YTD?  Determined
+1 ביטע נעמט זיך דאָס לעבן throwingawaytime
+1 Làm ơn tự sát đi. throwingawaytime
