+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 Hi, thank you so much for the detailed response it is extremely helpful. Intern in IB-M&A

+1 Completely wrong value driver assumption leading to wrong deal assumptions. Reduced the headline price by nearly 30% after we found out. Nobody noticed. lat_insti
+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 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 This joke is too advanced for this forum. ojapar20
+1 Any thoughts on development? I would say it’s much better WLB than traditional REPE. It’s also intellectually stimulating and a good mix of work. Associate 1 in RE - Res
+1 I found the 79 to be the easiest. About a third (maybe even half) is basic banking technicals, so if you’re good on those it’s free points. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 That’s not how things work lol, but in your scenario, what would become “the new IB”. rolo25
+1 I think the better question is, do people who review resume packs know what a good GRE is or not? Like is a VP/Principal going through a pack of resumes at 11PM going to know the difference between a 320 and 338?  VP in Research - FI
+1 Going through something similar right now but a few years younger. Was unemployed for ~5 months but recently started a cushy FP&A role that pays $150k (remote/LCOL). Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Move to an operator/developer. Generally better WLB and your experience will be viewed as highly valuable.  ThatGuyBalls
