+1 Seems like an awesome outcome lmao. You get a great junior internship for a FT job, but can go back home for sophomore summer and spend time with your family / friends. Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 From what I heard from a friend last year who did the hirevue was that the questions were technical so you have to focus on that only and its mostly basic stuff, but you should expect a curveball in terms of difficulty. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Hi there, The practice for MFs now is they, almost 100% of the time, hire only junior levels (analyst and associate), or only very senior people if they want to poach some dealmaker. TBDZ
+1 Coming from someone who has an accounting minor (switched from major after realizing some of the classes were pointless for what I wanted to do ex: taxes), I'd go with the philosophy minor. ballknowledge

+1 Thanks for your response, I do agree with you. AIbubble
+1 Depends what level you come in as. I came in post MBA with ~3-5 years of experience in an industry that I now cover in my consulting practice. Narrowing down to functional scope has been hard. Business School in CorpStrat
+1  - More individual (vs. team-based) work --> I'm an extrovert who generally enjoys teamwork, but the personalities in PE (extreme neuroticism, even compared to IB) makes me lean more individual Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+1 No chance any analysts make anywhere close to that 110 + 70 mark, that'd be just as high or higher than their IB counterparts at those banks (especially BofA). Trader in AM - Other
+1 . NotSure1214
+1 To give better color, during the internship you’ll be given spotlight events that cover the various teams in C&SI and you’ll get the opportunity to hear from Analysts in the FSG, SFG, and ABL teams. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 before choosing I would suggest not copying and pasting questions straight from an LLM larry david

+1 leverage the stern aid, wharton cares a lot about yield. also, not sure how it’d be 500k…wouldn’t it be closer to 400? In any case, it depends. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 the long post above covers the differentiation angle well. the part I'd add is where philosophy actually costs you, which is technicals. OFFERGOBLIN
+1 Greenspan's Panties Roger Sterling
+1 As someone pointed out earlier the big difference is that the cities in the South close down much earlier and your friends will all be going to HH at 6 while you are in office til 10 or so. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+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 Based on the most helpful WSO content, your path to investment banking (IB) is absolutely viable, but it will require strategic planning and execution. Here's a breakdown of your situation and actionable advice: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 And then there’s the realization that you’ve wasted your college years doing this nonsense when it has zero value in your finance career Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 You've probably already made your decision, but I really wouldn't choose Northeastern if I was spending all 4 years at a non-Boston campus. flakattack
+1 Not really a finance movie but Gold starring Matthew McConaughey is seriously underrated. Roger Sterling
+1 Hey man in the same transfer situation but at another school, you down to pm bigboy887

+1 Re return, I’m pretty sure #1 reason was for group switch and using MMBSI as a stepping stone - I personally didn’t realize how much I wanted to be in a IB seat until I was 2 weeks into the internship and realized the work VP in PE - LBOs
+1 They are just can’t leave it, it’s true alex50
+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 Thoughts on LevFin and its rep/exits?  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Echo above. Not as large of a bank as guy above it seems but my team is a credit group. Underwriting/executing and have many exits to notable PC platforms or internally to LevFin. Even LMM PE Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Would swap tech and HC, don't see HC on much of anything Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 apply broadly, applications are cheap. twenty minutes each and you can't predict which group has a headcount gap in January. OFFERGOBLIN
+1 Agree and updated, idk what deals HC has been doing if any  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 i dont think they will get fired for the cringe photoshoot itself (although it is cringe make no mistake), but it just really shows poor judgement, unnecessary vanity and just too much time on their hands lol. biscuitsandgravery
+1 consultant bad  now give me sb Intern in Consulting
+1 Coming from IB, you already know the deal mechanics, but SMB financials are an absolute mess compared to corporate/public files. Hanlon
+1 Recent MIT MSRED grad, feel free to ping.  LineofCredit
+1 Not crazy if ur non overtime is slightly above 50 braxtonberrios

+1 So it’s Israel’s fault that ISIS terrorists decided to bomb European Christmas markets and concerts where there were 0 Jews and Israelis?  Matchabee
+1 Disagree, it depends on what you want to get out of it. If you think it’s NYC , it’s not. It is cheaper than NYC however and is a lot more amenable to suburban lifestyle Enforcier

+1 Maple Sirup Slurper......... GordonGekko87
+1 SAs and SA return rates are unaffected. RX_amateur

+1 anyone knows whether second round is out for sep offcycle? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Iraq!!! starwars1234
+1 Not long if they liked it and are actually looking to fill seat quickly TBD if neutral on case and can afford to wait and see Very long if they didn’t like it It’s very straightforward Benson Says
+1 The way people actually do this is they rely on experience and intuition and they speak to people in the market. Usually one person discovers something and it spreads through word of mouth. nutmegger189
+1 It’s likely the same guy who’s been shitting on Gugg all over this forum in the same manner. DelusionalDave
+1 Thanks so much! Just wanted to ask some things about your reply. CLeclerc16
+1 Yeah I agree that academics don’t matter for prestige after your early years in the workforce. CEO in IB-M&A
+1 At my bank, we weren’t told bucket or ranges, had to sus it out (and people were largely not very forthcoming). Could be different elsewhere Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 Refer to my response below. But the one sentence summary is I wish I was more prepared on commercial questions. TBDZ
+1 Really depends on the office. Top offices are SF LA and NYC. All the other offices don’t work that much and prob work more on top IS teams at JLL etc. [email protected]
+1 If you’re going to defend this you cannot use historical justification. What current things, as in right now and today, does Iran do to us, to where we need to be involved in this conflict? seekinthealpha1
+1 I am so confused by your post/thread.  Seems your bigger issue won't be getting overtime approved; the bigger issue is your ineffective communication skills.  Pulisic69
+1 Congrats on UBS loudest_safe
+1 No they don't, the supply inflation that ongoing is due to inelastic demand for energy inputs, a 50-100bps hike isn't going to change that demand much. jarstar1
+1 Jayhoovy is a bit of a quirky dude because he brings in random grifters like Jay Shetty onto his Youtube videos. But his takes on how he's running his business feels genuine. Business School in CorpStrat

+1 Is this a Lawrence of Arabia reference lol?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀I would argue NYC real estate is probably among the top 5 largest instances of money laundering in the world. London as well.  Ozymandia
+1 Some study abroad programs will let you leave early if you get an internship, and in my experience consulting firms (unlike banks) will generally let you push start dates if you’re still studying abroad. fettywacc
+1 “Incoming SA at a BB” is enough to land a local boutique Analyst0910
+1 No what I mean is if pershing sq hires 1 kid from GS and KKR every 5yrs, don’t make it your life mission to get that seat and think your life is over if you don’t get it… plenty of great funds that hire w/o that background Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Discern what current pod positioning is and do the opposite.  thisisanexampleofausername
+1 Let's say you earn 70k base, have a plan 5 student loan and some level of pension contribution - you will net 3.7 to 3.9k a month. 2k/pm on fixed costs just to live is pretty steep at 50% of net. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Exactly. Data is the name of the game here. Think first step for you should be running scripts to get your internal data (whether on BBG or drive) into SQL databases ASAP. crownsforkings22
+1 They said it has nothing to do with AI or cost cutting - it was very senior focused (although some juniors were cut as well) but more related to teams not generating revenue expected Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Senior guy at a small local boutique. With AI we are already seeing the ability to replace 25% of the analysts, namely the bad ones. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
