Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Interesting. So are you looking for deals where the owner is just tired and doesn’t realize they can sell to another owner user for more money? pudding
+1 Barclays is imploding. Rainmakers in many teams have left the bank, and comp is terrible per my mutuals and online posts. Wells is on the rise after the Fed Reserves' cap lift. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 “You have to joyfully participate in the suffering of the world”- Anthony Soprano themagician357
+1 Thanks, makes sense. I can relate on the comp piece, but dont see myself exciting "doing deals" long term.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 The number of bios of the leadership team on the website got depleted quite a bit.    odog @digitalimmortality.com
+1 thank you so much for the honesty and glad you found something. Keep networking and saving for the future - I can very much relate to your situation. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 The first corp dev role I had out of IB / PE was purely execution. A pure-play roll-up with a lot of deals moving through the pipeline. thulse12
+1 Word is… comparato just left 😏😏 JJP1234
+1 I spoke to them for an open role and their salaries are incredibly low. no wonder their DL team left for Nomura though I would have expected them to reassess their compensation approach by now gtras12
+1 White collar services. Tougher than blue collar services from a stakeholder management perspective. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 . futurerockstar56
+1 100% city nyc hc and regl are donesaw people post on LinkedIn  internnnnn
+1 Why would Steve and Jon, the latter of which has worked directly with Nadeem for 18 years, push him out 9 months into the top job? You would think he would have more runway than that? Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Short them then investor45
+1 Hourly pay is ABSOLUTELY a good measure. Is a construction worker making 10% more per week than an engineer after working twice the hours “doing better”? arossi11637
+1 Looking at OP's post history, pretty sure that they'll be coming in at a lot more senior level than an intern lol huitt
+1 As far as I know they are extremely well paid - think AN1 was 90k gbp base 3+ years ago and assocs get high base plus bonus plus share of profits every year (with clawback tho) - they make more money there than they would Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Yea who cares u didn't start. I did exactly that for 7 motnhs. Gold-ManSacks
+1 What options are there really? Intern in IB - Gen
+1 p0rn is healthier than reading this Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Is ur mom single hairylizard233
+1 Congrats, the current market is tough so well done. Best of luck next week! Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Would be the same if you got a part time internship during the semester. Shouldn’t be an issue  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Offing yourself over this situation is incredibly selfish, cowardly, and unhinged. Probably somewhat indicative of why no offers too. Get some help. Seriously. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Thanks. Understand live deal mode means high hours but how is your WLB on non-live deal weeks?  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Yeah of course YMMV. Pretty sure we plan to increase on-campus hiring in 2027. We have quite a bit of turnover at the mid levels so that's probably why. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 JadenAntMSPlease for the love of god the cow is completely milked already Obviously not. If people pay, he will keep going. Poison_Pills
+1 I don’t know much about EQR, so can’t comment intelligently. Covid19Brah
+1 Yeah just something to look out for. Just good to make sure you have a solid consumer for your research. marketMergerMaddie
+1 At my last gig, internal ops did sometimes go rogue or simply fail to perform/refuse/pretend they didn’t hear directives from AM. It depended on the region, the AM, and the relationships in play. Covid19Brah
+1 Take a week off using vacation. Then say you are sick at WFH following week. Thats what I did. Firm was relaxed with having zoom camera on vs off so made it easier. Short hair obviously makes this easier. Director in IB - Cov
+1 ejaculate on their face fuku
+1 Did you write this with AI nutmegger189
+1 Nice ! I agree, there is more to good digital marketing than getting clicks and boosting website traffic. In the long run, it is essential to know your customer and get them to trust you, and then convert them. jamessmith13
+1 You can try to exit directly from I'm assuming audit/tax, but most exits are with a big 4 deals team in the middle. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 shit culture. Know people who left recently Investment Analyst in IB - Gen
+1 lol investmentwanker123
+1 Soros_
+1 Consulting has a lot more variation in types of work they do day-to-day so "consulting" experience isn't necessary. Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 Koder & BofA more broadly are all about capital markets and cost control. The bank doesn’t value M&A and their leaders don’t have experience in it  VP in IB - Gen
+1 If you attend a non-UK university for bachelors I'd prefer to do my masters at the UK for London roles. Lorderic
+1 Amazing she was transferred from LevFin to the commercial bank, where this behavior continued, instead of being let go and this was hid under the rug.  bateman2016
+1 To add, it’s easily to tell when you have Claude right it. My group title is slightly odd… so when someone uses “I’m very interested in X”, it’s just odd and scrapped directly from LinkedIn. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I agree…. But that’s BofA’s philosophy for you. Expense management and compliance is the focus and growth is secondary VP in IB - Cov
+1 Centerview Partners Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Genstar successful coup d'état Fiscal Turtle
+1 Jomoz
+1 which division? eight111
+1 A big difference is that UK university courses are broad, but rarely specified. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 My GFs family lives closer to there so she's attracted for that reason. Personally - I'm attracted by cheaper more spacious apartments, less traffic and associated noise, and a bit less flashy Miami people. Business School in Non-profit
+1 some people die of thirst... others drown in it...  TLBandChill
+1 Yea, these people are bad colleagues to work with for starters. "Sorry, can't turn comments right now I need my beauty-sleep to look good on TikTok" SomeCaliberTalent
+1 I'm only a student so apologies if I'm way off the mark but I reckon expressing intent about what you want to do on Excel and AI doing it can't be too far off at all. sp1313
+1 agreed, claude mogs  VP in PE - Other
+1 Ares DL - A1 - £75k (not sure on bonus) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 volume matters more. i was in both positions. Associate 1 in CorpDev
+1 I feel most of you just forget when you first started and were stupid. They will have to adapt eventually. It just will probably be later in their career. zachkr05
+1 I don't think consulting is a great place to be, loads of quiet layoffs. Many people on the bench. Tight budgets, less interesting projects for the most part at most firms.  Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Lol walking out to a million people bar hopping is exactly what I don’t want. Since you’re considering the move from Miami - what draws you? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Hey, really appreciate the words. Update: I got through to the next round. Meeting the senior team next week. Glad the others compensated for it. lbt1023
+1 kya baat h crow0982026
+1 nutmegger189: arossi11637
+1 The only thing I've really contested you on is this idea of true exit opps. Everything else is an argument you've made up in your head. nutmegger189
+1 Why is this moved to off topic this should be in the IB forum GDUDs
+1 Oh my gosh, they yelled at someone? In-person AND on calls?! Golly gee willakers that's not allowed!!! PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 mate I am talking about someone years ago back in like 2018 whos specifically listed (through cold emailing)not the BCBF stuff Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You're most welcome. Keep us updated on your progress, which is certain if you keep the same energy rough diamond
+1 You expect finance guys to have good taste in art?  CRE
+1 bump, in a similar spot Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks ever so much. Will certainly heed your advice and focus on volume as the best way forward probably. sp1313
+1 Some are rlly fkn good. Defiant Gatekeeper, Rareliquids, the British indian dude, Bryan Jun, Nate O'brien (albeit he never did IB). Gold-ManSacks
+1 any word on intrepid nashville process? shsjdnbejjtntjkend
+1 EVR M&A isn't a group its effectively similar to a bb minus the financing aspect given how large its grown. GDUDs
+1 Congrats on Chicago! cjfjchdj
+1 When free cash flow goes negative in a period, the model should draw on the revolver to cover the shortfall instead of letting cash fall below the minimum balance. IRRationalMgmt
+1 Ur fucked buschappleenjoyer1220
+1 Omg you’re right! No one would ever come work there now! How embarrassing for Citi rock stars like you and OP would eschew their firm! Smoke Frog
+1 Wahoowa buschappleenjoyer1220
+1 nobody cares lmao I went to a target school and so did many others on here PhantomGhost
+1 Tosser. Don’t comment then.  VP in RE - Comm
+1 God you are one awesome person! Incoming Analyst in PE - Growth
+1 I understand this is a wild concept for the average WSO hardo propsect or analyst who have never learned how to think for themselves, but some people do find enjoyment in M&A, being an investor, talking to companies, e VP in PE - LBOs
+1 What does this have to do with IB? These people aren’t bankers.   Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 Obviously depends on coverage team’s headcount / hiring growth expectations, but I suspect that they get folded into the coverage team of the industry that they worked on the most; not uncommon to see even 1st year M&A Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 When does the music stop for folks like these? techiebanker
+1 Good culture overall but gets pretty intense depending on who you work with. Hours wise fairly standard for street, on higher end for DB IB teams (behind HC and IND)  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Shana Tova!!! An easy fast to all of you; may you and your families have a wonderful new year! To those of you who aren’t Jewish, all of my love. Only the best to you all. GordonGekko87
+1 If you're name is in the portal when you didn't apply means bro pushed for you. Just chill and follow up in a week. Gold-ManSacks
+1 All good advice however good work and taking stuff off people’s plate usually just yields more work because people know you can get stuff done well..  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Denver is a shithole now...bad homeless issue, ~40% office vacancy rate, like a third of ground floor retail is vacant, and high crime. The city has not recovered since the pandemic. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I’m in retail and we are very busy. TheDirtMerchant
+1 It can be tough. Often firms want to keep you there at least a year. Can look bad for the higher-ups that vouched for you to get the offer etc etc. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Friend did acquisitions there until a few months post merger. Was on the EQ office side. Brutal hours. Unfortunately they lost mid and top level acquisition folks so it rolled down hill. pudding
+1 Interesting. It’s not that way in my market. Can you share the market and/or region you are in?  pudding
+1 Its clearly one of the stronger LevFin groups. DB as a brand might not be the absolute best these days but if you want to do LevFin or stay in credit or cap markets its great. VP in IB - Gen
+1 Prob have to wait a year and it’s usually only if they have a need in another office. That’s how it is at WB at least. greatmonkey
+1 Had a spd last Thursday and haven’t heard anything yet abuyopz
+1 Commenting to avoid bot.  Prospect in PE - LBOs
+1 I love my salamader. One container of worms in the fridge lasts about 2 months. Only need to feed him twice a week or so., Very chill guy. Can easily do it if you do a bit of research on a lower maintenance animal. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Hodes Weills also got acquired last week IRRcentric
