+1 TRS has been running fine despite it so wouldn’t imagine it to fuck up anything if anything rx might get stronger bakeoffking

+1 Bad. Do not lateral to EVR from WF, my friend NW Intern in IB-M&A
+1 This is a UK specific scheme. Plenty of firms do this. It's not just GS and it's not just finance. In fact FO finance has been one of the last industries to offer these types of schemes. nutmegger189

+1 I lived with roommates for the first half of As1 (cause I went A2A and was already living with them). Works at Barclays
+1 thoughts on fig? heard they run their own modeling  minticecreamplz
+1 The PE bullets are credible if you frame them as work you supported, rather than implying you owned the deal. jobfitpack
+1 Also agree on the moat point. If you can’t clearly answer why doesn’t AI kill this in 3–5 years, people just move on. no one wants to be the guy who invested in a business that was already evidently dying  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Pretty sure this is just false. the whole point of an MD is that they hold personal relationships with clients, not that they just represent the goldman name. breakingbetter
+1 Well since exponential functions also exhibit convexity, perhaps the maximally accurate description is a positive reciprocal but few casual observers have that mental image ready - let's just settle on "nonlinear decline o kylejackson
+1 Why do you think your fundraising skills are weak? Have you ever tested them out? You seem to be opinionated and if your sourcing/structuring deals are as good as you say, raising money should be easy. Teller in PropTrad

+1 bump blueyellowpink
+1 lmfao VP in PE - LBOs

+1 rip hari bobj789
+1 The old advice of just spam applying on Trackr is outdated since everyone does it now. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I went through last summer and got a top 5 BB. Most people in the 6 ACs I did (excluding DEI) had 2-3 internships, either highly relevant to the job or at a well-known firm. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Looks as if you did not check your own post for mistakes. 716jasper

+1 This is like saying its surprising software engineers are CS majors Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Horrible place to be. Run. Constantly hiring. VP in PE - LBOs

+1 invest in a nice unit man. I love coming back to a clean/ amenitized building Analyst 1 in S&T - Equities
+1 One datapoint - I lateraled to a UMM/MM firm (top name in industry X / very desirable seat). At Junior VP / /SA level. I was couple months away from bonus at my old firm. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Heard many pods were up big last year as select names recovered. Heard that this year finding good shorts has been harder and is affecting some of the neutral guys Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, your observation about boutique M&A firms (1-5 people) spending significant time reformatting CIMs, pitch books, and valuation reports seems valid. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 WF FT or DB ? chimpchompchamp
+1 Any update on Industrials or Business Services? Magicalrecruiting
+1 NewIndustryHorizonDead giveaway for those who know hehe. Definitely worth reviving a 5 year old thread in order to giggle.  IsItREPE

+1 Any new on Chicago WB? user8214
+1 MN rx offers out  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Had a lot of the same worries ahead of my SA. Just enjoy your time off before the internship. All the interns will show up at same level - they aren't evaluating how good you are at the job on day one. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Combination of wealth management, trading, APAC. Not US IB Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 I just finished Y1 and have positive reviews pointing toward Sr. Asso so I might stay Sr. Asso bc it’s a meaningful pay bump. But I might leave after my 2nd year too. Idk. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I am terrified that zuckerberg could just thanos snap me out of existence the day i quit my job. The only ways i know how to make money are social media and being an excel monkey. deelcheef
+1 Dude, I just played 18 and looking for a cold Miller Lite before my VP sends more comments. Give me a break. ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 I think there is usually a lag of time between “good results and M&A creds” and “headhunters reaching out”. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Open their fucking website bro Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Please. If you want something DO NOT give up on it. Find something that you’re truly interested in whether it’s AM/PC/IB and do not give up on trying to get it. anonymoususer182
+1 Disregard Anonymised Title (Info from last full bonus cycle) YOE: 3 Role: Analyst Base: 115k Bonus: 90k Hours Worked: 65-75 Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 Lol, I tend to have the opposite experience. For the record, London (UK), fairly attractive guy, AN2 at EB. Most common areas I go for a night out will be around LPOOL street, Soho, and Camden. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Heyy, hope you find a place for SA27. I got a MM S&T Summer offer with around a 3.0 GPA and I guess my experience would be somewhat relatable. Zen9
+1 Unless living alone is a big deal for you, I would recommend sharing with 1 or 2 people.It does make a massive difference in savings. Works at Cannacord Genuity
+1 The benefits of staying are benefits and surety. Your business is consistent, yes, but not guaranteed in the same a way W2 income is so don’t get it twisted. liquidiot
+1 If you’re having debt problems then just call Ken Moelis.  Hags28
+1 Congrats on IBS! ectmt
+1 World cup game on one monitor, excel on the other tbh lack_of_funding
+1 I think guidingwallstreet has some articles on this but id say to lower your standards. Maybe instead of IB you look for middle office or backoffice roles Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 they just switched domains Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Recently joined an MMHF pod and we always start with a sell-side model and cut down to something we can work with. jpj1623
+1 You have a chance at top schools if you writes a killer essay--I've seen applicants in your circumstances (rural, first gen) with similar/worse stats and activities get into schools like Princeton. eatingpoke
+1 Get test score up Try to do something more unique as a leadership activity with a positive community impact (eg some of your activities are very common or altruistic but not leadership driven)Sp WSO-Lion
+1 Asians in “yookay” historically come from India and South Asia (commonwealth countries), which is why London banks have way more of them than NYC. tryyuav
+1 Agree here. You're supposed to be lost in the first few months.  Singhsation22
+1 Exits into REPE are pretty good from REGAL, and RE private credit from the CRE lending analyst program. Basically any shop is attainable. Obviously nothing is guaranteed though. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 I honestly didn’t know about the GRE until I was a few months in to studying. I think it’s easier than the GMAT, given that the GMAT now has “LSAT”-esque data questions in the data insights section.  coolmowgli52
+1 DCM Intern? Spin back when you get the return buddy rolo25
+1 Similar financial situation, ran the numbers. If you invest a lot of your money in the market and assume average 8% return - very achieveable numbers. NewIndustryHorizon

+1 Has AM done supers yet?  Gheowghwourhg388
+1 Actually, very collaborative! Half of the work is education & project work, and when you have access to so many intelligent colleagues, why not make use of the asset?  chimpeus
+1 $1m by 36 (I modeled it out and base case is $1m at 36, 38 conservatively). Just over $600k right now at age 32 but accelerating as career progresses and debt gets paid off. kiltedlowlander
+1 anything from db? nontarget_2026
+1 Uhh, do not listen to this. The fact that Macquarie is not even listed shows they do not know what they are talking about. This list is pretty much entirely all wrong… Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 You only have ~6 months to ask as many stupid questions as possible so get them in while you can goldmanornothing
+1 Incoming intern so take this with a grain of salt, but this is what I've been told: Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 So is strategic advisory just their M&A practice? any else have insights on the interviews? wallstreet999
+1 do you think they go too much in depth wallstreet999
+1 thought the same thing, then I tried it—actually a helpful website.  anthonylewis
+1 Also keep in mind that it might just be doing a favor to your family with no intention of hiring you full-time. Do they even have an analyst program? Do they have a history of hiring analyst from their interns? SaaSChimp
+1 Thank you for the constructive comment. It has definitely made me think more seriously about this career path, especially since it also seems to offer better financial opportunities. a.vajda0
