Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Analyst 2 in IB-M&A Associate 1 in IB - CB
+1 I work in the UK. Comp is on the low side for me because I was an internal hire. Total take home is £140k. I’m aware I’m severely underpaid. ffx900
+1 If you are Korean though, it must be nice to be at BAML. Looks like in the press release he managed to hook up another random Korean with a sweet gig.  UBSRising789
+1 My HR 3 Hazel_Parkery
+1 What do you mean by inference/ratio calculations? Strange flyingsquirrel30
+1 Dude I went to a board school and I know plenty of hypsm  and Dartmouth and Wharton kids who play lax since high school together and than when it comes to time to recruit they place lights out. Intern in ER
+1 You're better off trying to become more attractive, expanding your social circle, and maximizing your IG to start. Organize group trips: skiing, Coachella, yacht week, and F1. SmoothStripes
+1 Prestige is one of the things I care the least about tbh, so I feel like you're the perfect guy to reply to this. TonySoprano9910
+1 … Principal in PE - Growth
+1 Thought about it but that's unfortunately not an option, bc like the ppl below commented, SA recruting for next year is basically wrapped up, so I'd have to delay by 2 years, which is not a good idea, so any other ways wou Analyst 1 in Acct - Other
+1 Used to work in PE, ignore title Im now in StratFin but to query Hebbia to our private drive was so frustrating kept crashing and summations/reports weren't that accurate for us so we had to end up using Claude add-ons and Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 More nepo than anything but yeah. No room for top talent to stick out at most NESCACs. I genuinely believe you are better served going to your state school Intern in IB - Gen
+1 All of those people were massive nepo kids (ones dad was a blackrock exec, others were GS, MS, JPM group heads etc). Intern in IB - Gen
+1 The girl from my college history class. ojapar20
+1 As a A/W student who thinks you should not come here under any circumstance, I don’t think they’re lies. I think smart people from A/W don’t break into banking for the most part. It’s almost all athlete and nepo. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 my vp said that our team will be specialized into seperate caves for better transaction coverage!!! happy le simbarawr264
+1 Tbh second this (also at one of the A/W). Wish I had also gone to my state school; this place does not reward effort and connections/pipelines are greatly exaggerated if you're not nepo/athlete.  Prospect in CB
+1 AKKR. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 ^^ bouse at uchicago btw Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Not to kill your buzz, but I think you should ask yourself - "What does this sauce mean to you?" pbandjpartners
+1 I think you're good for all. essec should be easiest to get in, Oxford maybe the most difficult, but doesn't mean it's better than the rest for you. Associate 1 in VC
+1 Lol as someone who hadn't read this thread, it's hilarious watching the guys from earlier fluff this kid to the moon. The Penguin
+1 If you didn't know what Sharpe ratio was before you made that comment youre ngmi MaritimeLeverage
+1 Its just painful because the capabilities of the models are there, but the harnesses and guardrails that IB tools sit in are so constraining that they are so useless and behind public versions.  Teller in Non-profit
+1 Hey all, anistongeller
+1 Typical Isaiah comment section Regional_pubfin
+1 Ts fired me up twin. Boutta crush some brews now. Happy Friday! Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I did undergrad at Vandy and have friends who did the MSF. I also did my masters at NYU Schack. If you want to work in real estate in NY - go to NYU Schack. You’re paying for the network and access to jobs. pudding
+1 Not seen it, but I only knew 3 people who worked there personally and those were the exits they went for. Hopefully someone else can give more insight LendingFanatic1
+1 What do you offer these two founders to deserve carry or GP co invest?  CRE
+1 Might as wall put it in your instagram notes pitchdeck
+1 Your education doesn’t matter nearly as much as the actions you take. Every target student I have met is unbelievably unbearable except for a select few. loudest_safe
+1 The London teams will be quite fluent in those areas still - many will have bachelors or masters in geology and what is called "petroleum sciences" in the UK. The focus will be more Middle Eastern and African. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+1 I find it unfortunate that two people evaluated your opinion as "Inaccurate" though I personally found it to be informative. Let me go through every individual point. Sharky286
+1 CREhighly esteemed French champagne producers are already buying up tracts to help ensure their future production CRE
+1 Not from SoCal but it’s accurate. Just under a 5.5 cap with ~14 years remaining on the lease. If the developer paid 800/SF for the land under the building, 1,500 PSF probably isn’t that far above the cost basis. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 No, this ranking is very useful for people to make the right choices. Some unis cost over 100k !!! boib_1
+1 Not a chance. Ozymandia
+1 IND/M&A/FSG/HC strongest teams, Telco/Tech/Energy/C&R are the next strongest. Aggressive hiring in Tech particularly, Energy has fallen off slightly in the past 7 years but still strong. Senior VP in IB - Cov
+1 All the named groups are solid, although they are more niche. If you’re genuinely interested in the subsector, you can definitely make a strong exit given that you’re a good candidate. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 If you’re a first or second year analyst and have some GP-led reps we’d probably give you a look and reset you 1 year. At the associate level we wouldn’t. Generic Banker
+1 Bayes at masters level should only be treated as an insurance (imo). It's not bad, but it's not one of the main-target programs. It's a high semi at masters, however none of those programs are the main flagship ones. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 "I don't want to dox myself." jl12
+1 SA. Don't you know the requirements for banking? There is a reason why so many in Epstein's circle were finance bros ;) jl12
+1 a lil booger sugar keeps the sleepies at bay  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Brown is one of the best targets for CVP. There is a dedicated alumni recruiting team and firm really likes Brown.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 From what I could gather, they're a boutique consultancy specialized in commercial strategy and revenue optimization. FinnesseGod
+1 Average Q analyst is smarter and better connected than the average UBS TMT MD Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Put it all in the S&P 500. If you are concerned of the AI-concentration in the S&P 500, put half in the S&P and half in an S&P ex-AI fund.  jl12
+1 Brown places really well actually. Last year had PJT RX, 7 EB and more BB. No one wants to do IB so offers%applicants would imagine is higher than Wharton. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Honestly, the comment above is the most effort I've seen anyone put into a CV review, and they generally are pretty accurate.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I used to get this until I changed my diet. Now I have very sustained energy all day. My super lunch from whole foods: Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 HEC cares but it's mostly in the context of making up for something. LBS absolutely doesn't. iuc
+1 Congrats on UBS Sharky286
+1 John Amherst literally invented electricity lucien_de_montclair
+1 Not too impressed, heard comp is below market, long hours and bad culture Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 . east.block
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s how you can assess a candidate’s understanding of options mechanics and strategy beyond just theory: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Do it. The longer you stay in pure ECM the more stuck you are (until you make MD then you become more marketable). The only people I’ve seen exit ECM above the junior level are attractive women who get into IR. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 What’s your total comp split out by base + bonus? How do you feel about a longer term career at your shop given no fund economics? Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 99% of the people who get offers from LACs are (i) varsity athletes, (ii) rich parents already (maybe they also did the tuck bridge program), or (iii) DEI. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Thank you for pointing out that NYC has such a law. I'm wondering why those places are so unsafe and violent? Ozymandia
+1 For anyone considering hiring a mobile app development company or an app development company, this is a well-organized and practical guide. usemywork
+1 .. starwars1234
+1 Raine went really early last year. First bigger name to drop they dropped like 2nd week September bullwithwater
+1 never give up, but be smart about it. knowing when to push is important. don't underestimate networking.Don't be mainstream, show what makes you different (again in a smart way). ER 15
+1 Thanks this is exactly what I needed to hear in this moment. nepobaby2
+1 bearboarbat: Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I feel like for GS/JPM compared with McKenzie/Bain prob the case. But I feel like EB has no recognition outside finance? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 This sounds sus lol Prospect in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Is this actually true? Genuinely asking. Are top BBs better than the top EBs? wimpychimp2000
+1 wtf is special sit? The most useless role ever present in shops. Call themselves special sit but end up pursuing vanilla- “we have to keep the light on” davani1420
+1 "I went to a networking session on my campus with alums and I overheard chatter about banks automating the analyst grunt work..." (Internal quotations omitted). jl12
+1 Agree with everything above. Not worth it man. Do a semester early at most (stretch it to a year if you get an offer & are bored of school). Was in a similar position. dogwater79
+1 There is almost no protectable IP in building financial models. Basically every single element of it is public knowledge, especially since most of the modeling is just doing what's required by tax law/regulators.  jl12
+1 3x Full Body is great if you have a busy schedule. Lift once on the weekend. Doing this currently. Upper Lower x 2 is probably even better if you can squeeze two workouts on weekends.  NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Don't think that's true. I left Bain a year ago and while I was there the policy was to match McKinsey. Typically BCG leads comp increases, McKinsey matches, then Bain matches McKinsey. Works at Bain & Company
+1 Q is pretty sweaty but obviously great - super hard to get in here. Allen is a really cool firm and is on some of the best deals, only thing is return offers here are pretty bad. Liontree does cool deals too. Any 2 IB - Cov.
+1 I'm not saying that we should institutionalize someone who happens to be smelly and potentially antisocial, every MD fits that description. Sharky286
+1 Chicago was ~20 offers for ~30 interns. NYC was a bit better. Regional offices got hit pretty hard, heard Dallas was like 30%. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Google is a search engine. Safari is a browser. I want to apologize. I was insulting you before but now I know you’re actually medically retarded. Send me your GoGundMe link I’ll donate to your gene therapy. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1  BMO M&M/M&A is indisputably more paradise than Wells Fargo.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 delete Prospect in IB - 5th Year
+1 I agree with the comment above. Independent sponsor path is hard, but at least offers very compelling economics and entrepreneurial energy once you start closing good deals. riverpaint
+1 Last year it was between 1 and two weeks before i got the email i was rejected Prospect in S&T - Equities
+1 Didn't read all this but posting this seems like a bad idea, can't imagine that many offers were given from LG analyst program so feels like you're probably doxxing yourself... Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 A wise choice in my opinion. Only thing I’d add is that for the duration of med school you’ll need to maintain the same drive that propelled you to IB. HowlerMonkey
+1 Bump Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 i do zen meditation summediocre
+1 Congrats on your admission to Cornell Nolan… I would’ve also picked IU. But can we go back to the days of hiring from ivies? rooseveltfan
+1 noones surprised this post is just cringe as fuck Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Update: Citadel bought his portfolio per WSJ. Depending on timing they might've just made a nice juicy 20-30% gain in a day.. absolutely wild times Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Why are people assuming this is due to AI? Could be a combination of the IPO and an overall lackluster intern class. Haven't even heard of any major investment bank announce layoffs due to AI. college_student1227
+1 a) I already learned how to do these things manually, and now i can just run it more efficiently, and often don't need an analyst to do it at all  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Extremely inaccurate, the entire law firm would be broke from fines from being held in contempt, and most would lose their clients due to breach.  CPMA's15
+1 Sounds like he is blowing up PM in HF - RelVal
+1 Semi target. the clubs and stuff do not matter. Coming from someone who interviews interns, I could literally give a shit if you're in any clubs and when i see that sometimes i question cultural fit. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Lacrosse segway pipeline finance  wuandale33
+1 all consultants are jokes. stepstone, aksia, hamilton lane. unnecessary intermediary / fee layer between money & investment. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Agreed and the latest QQQ move kinda proves the point. FinanceGirlieee
