+1 I guess so, but who knows how long firms like this stick around and you have to just play politics with the same small group of people. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 bump how is MBA 2+2 recruiting these days? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 if you want to be a career banker and brand name doesn't matter since you aren't trying to exit, seems like this place has decent WLB and has great comp (if the ~85k for An1 above is accurate) Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 RBC is very inclusive. Plenty of gays in the Calgary office  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You really have nothing better to be doing? Super weak comeback by the way. rolo25
+1 I think this is originally Stifels team so expect LMM deals  overlord481216
+1 He knows ball Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 You get whatever product you get assigned to; and you tend to stick there, mastering it takes 3 years minimum & eventually trade that product if you stay long enough… unless you find a new internship company to change go_ok
+1 I heard back at 2 weeks, with a MM HF. I felt that was on the slower side too. buysidepanda
+1 Any degree program makes you an alumni. What doesn't count is those $5K online courses and Harvard Extension courses. Executive MBA is borderline, but counts.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 Passing is invisible. Failing is very visible. Thunder46
+1 If you're dead set on commodities all the way then Geneva is the best city to be in. If you get a great traineeship then go for this option i think Revama69
+1 This. And apparently P72 is always looking too! MMPM
+1 It's okay to be uncertain about your profession because you're still rather young. You can obtain employment in accounting, auditing, or finance with the "ACCA" qualification. dollyartasia
+1 Support from HASC is more important than support from White House, and the house elects every two years. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Most credit hedge funds that are on the leaner side self select for intelligent, proactive, and for mid-senior level well networked,  people. Managing Director in HF - Other
+1 Yes because if I want AI slop I might as well ask ChatGPT directly Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 What is google it? RaTnAp6
+1 Nope because alot of times we're on the phone with borrowers. Sure some of the computer level tasks may be automated, just like anywhere but since we're client facing its still hard to remove us completely. VP in RE - Comm
+1 It must be that guy who is a DB brand ambassador, who is an incoming summer analyst there. Wears pinstripe suits. Saying that he's working 80 hour weeks... He's at university still.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Sam Bennett Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Finance larpers are worse than AIDS curtisleeroy
+1 What exclusive access would I have to debt comparatively? It seems that better debt terms (albeit more aggressive) exist in CRE than resi. Are you talking about a 5% FHA loan? Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Be thankful it’s not 6 days in the office! Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 Sounds interesting in theory, but the strict 2-and-out nature + need to move to DC probably turns many people away who want to stay in top markets. $250k comp is actually pretty great for DC. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 I actually ended up taking a project M&A seat at a big, well-capitalized renewables developer. JT the funky homo sapien
+1 They’re MM, OP is talking about”traditional BB”. And they’re going to crash too as their own RX is so shit they can’t help refinance themselves with those shit loans.  as-dfg-hjk
+1 That's what I did. Honestly, it wasn't easy. I was also recruiting during COVID. I ended up at a middle-market shop but probably could've gotten a BB in a normal market. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 It's really going to depend on the state. HTC-Guy
+1 There’s a number of assumptions in here about AI that I want to push back on. Will the hallucinations ever go away or is it baked into the design of an LLM? guyfromct
+1 Yes but I would say maybe 30-40% of the aum is deployed in that area and the returns are excellent. Rest is dogshit Senior VP in PE - Other
+1 How did he get like 9+ SW and more I sincerely don't understand afteryoualphonse
+1 you're a fucking jew how dare you monkey shit me Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Nowhere near as experienced as you, but also think people you work with also matters a lot in how you perceive specific deals to be interesting. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Apparently 1st round TI out for IBD Grad London. Assume they will be doing recruiting alongside SA, given both start in June/July. TI was with an Associate. Intern in ER
+1 Really appreciate this thank you! habloyablo
+1 Yeah I met some NYU Stern kids once and I'm sure they all got good jobs, but it seemed like they were obsessed with finance and their placements lmao. Sup_Bro23
+1 Should’ve clarify — I am in LevFin cap markets…it’s different from origination and it’s a syndication function. Feels like a career black hole Business School in IB-M&A
+1 Aren’t these guys killing it? They just had a monster exit this week and their last 2 funds are top quartile Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 suu Ozymandia
+1 Dyal has highest aura of all gkk1234
+1 alkali is dogshit. have a friend at northeastern who co-oped there before and said he would rather be dead than ever go there as a full timer. anonymousdad
+1 yikes those UK salaries are unfortunate. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 This would be a great option for bankers who have deferred MBA admits or if banks agree to bring back bankers who left to do this secondment Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Decided not to pursue but still have option to do it. I didn’t want to be tied down to where I am and want to pursue something more interesting later so staying at my PE job for now. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Their entire MO has been do everything like JPM and GS and we will become them. That uhh hasnt happened  Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Fair question - when I joined I did get some onboarding on pitching and weekly sector updates, things like that, so in theory yes I would have had to some of those things. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Got it.  Thanks for that.  Been in IB for a couple years and for many personal reasons have no interest in PE/PC route, although I've had a few opportunities. rolo25
+1 lateral market was top then, 24 FT was more robust I had folks leveraging offers from MM ATL to WF NYC, 5 ppl from lower BB to top 3 BB, guys with no RO getting offers at EBs none of that happened this cycle  Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+1 I can never understand why people ask these kind of questions but don't add any details.  mayoineko
+1 Bro if we dont get returns it might be over for us 🙏 Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 What is CB comp progression usually for a big BB ? G0rd0nGekk0
+1 You sound like some of the MDs sons who go to regional colleges that they are hiring for internships Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Know what they do before the chat so you’re not asking boring questions and be normal and likable. Seriously you don’t need anything more than that. [email protected]
+1 That’s a fraction of a drop for them, that’s just matching y’all to what an1’s are getting, which is reflective of street pay. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 reach out to alumni, friends, mutual connections, etc. LMM is relationship-based and most don’t post job openings. westcoast.equity
+1 Eastdil will hire anyone with prior work experience, it’s not a pedigree contest at all. There’s far fewer candidates than you think. [email protected]
+1 TBH, it was a bit of I reached out to another person on the team, who I think probably had a word with the manager. And then when I finally reached out again, it was a bit easier. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 kuf135Is that $7M vesting over 5 years? Pretty solid.. though to the other commenters point, the cash from that is going to be way backend weighted. Senior VP in PE - Other
+1 Yeah one of the main players in London VP in RE - Comm
+1 Sounds like a terrible partner. Need to work with experienced partners.  The experienced partners who know what they're doing often work less and get more deals done. AZ2222
+1 Gugg ATL updates? supermonke
+1 I (sort of) did this by moving from NYC to Texas a decade ago. No complaints.  chromium73
+1 Buy-side PM background is actually pretty solid for IR, especially on the PE / alternatives side. Corporate IR will also look at it, but the LP / capital formation roles usually value it more. soneyson
+1 We all agree white males are not diversity but white females are? Make it make sense. This topic has been discussed to death on this forum. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Founder was an asshole about paying people. So everyone left. He started a new fund with Harry Green but looks like Harry left after 2 years. Probably got rug pulled too… didi3847
+1 Thanks for your perspective.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Just take interviews in the office. It's definitely not ideal but can use a huddle room or something for 30 minutes and dip out.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Depends heavily on the fund size, stage. soneyson
+1 It's Canadian, so, flaming.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 I said f*ck it a month ago and quit IBD. Now building an app in consumer AI. Let’s see what happens. One can always go back to being an excel monkey Works at Barclays
+1 everything will be ok. Anyone from the outside sees how this is BS. Keep documentation of everything, especially of when you reported the issues earlier  investmentspanker
+1 Sheeesh bro on gawd this take got mogged frfr, and sent to the shadow realm whole thread is straight yappacino deluxe. Investment Analyst in AM - FI
+1 Yeah OCM team in London is good. Well I’m more concerned about the London/European than the US which is more or less a white space for them. davani1420
+1 lol haven’t seen it but that just describes 90% of Northwestern Mutual VP in RE - Other
+1 please touch grass… [email protected]
+1 Interesting, I definitely see the value-add I could bring. The only concern for me is the valuation and modeling chops. willibzk
+1 No scrounging14
+1 rooms in basement in 2B are clutch for interviewing too. You can be logged in on a UBS desktop and keep your teams green, plus the risk of people from your group walking by is low. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 At your level, prioritize a bank over an RE specific firm; ideally anything front office in a financing group (e.g., DCM, lev fin, ABS, etc.), otherwise explore adjacent teams such as credit risk. fdfdfdfd
+1 $200 equity issue: Equity value +200, Cash +200. No impact on EV$100 dividends: Cash -100, Equity -100. No impact on EVOverall, Equity +100, Cash +100. No impact on EV Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Shhhhh Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 ?? stealthinvesting
+1 Apparently they were debating it and wanted to test what the perception would be. They changed plans amid the backlash. Doesn’t mean they won’t look at it again, maybe pushing back the time or limiting meals per week Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 isn't everyone reliant on data/numbers? genuine question Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 We need more women chiming in, because wouldn't that make Barnard effectively a target??? PaulAllenIsInLondon
+1 When you say "entrepreneurship in general," are you dead set on that form taking a specialized investor form? If so, I'd do the banking --> investor route. PEPrincess
+1 Would probably go with Brevan Howard, but all depends on which desk you are on Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I browse only the school forum, and your deluded mentally ill posts keep coming up.  hutcointraders
+1 By M&A product teams, you mean M&A teams like at JPM, MS, GS, etc.? I think it depends on the firm you're at and the reputation of the M&A team. PEPrincess
+1 A couple things: PEPrincess
+1 Pipe down nerd…that’s a lot of writing… Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Fuck. Looks like I’m going to the army then  Substack_Guy
+1 Right and the no more meal stipend is correct too right? Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+1 Heard Santander paid ~100% can anyone confirm this? Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 im just gonna assume theyre not running a process for NYC FT this year lmao Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 patrick_bateman_I’ve mentioned before - CRE has fundamentally changed. Deals don’t make sense on paper and that will likely continue for a few years. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 There’s H1Bs hiring incompetent H1Bs who can barely speak or understand English. It makes no sense.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Yep having one WFH today to plan interviews around is clutch. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Fair point, for sure. But I feel like that’s a given. It’s just a person. If someone’s gonna grind there ass of to get into a T10 in HS then they overall take the game of life seriously. fTheVix
