+1 Culture at MA is good, other boutiques in Aus are mostly sweatshops with average culture. Strong deal flow but typically higher volume in mid-market. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 This is obviously a joke Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 In Germany its similar. People here glaze PWP, while they do even less than in london., same with PJT. both with their mini office in Munich. Lazard is somehow the place to be here, followed by RTH. afdhfg
+1 I think this is a condo development, so NOI isn't really relevant, but maybe I read it wrong. Multif@mily4Life
+1 these are strategies i dont work on but I did hear lots of algorithmical implementations in fundmanetal seats. I guess these are quantamental to your definition. equitystrat
+1 Thanks a lot for doing this! Read a lot of helpful comments and advises in this thread.   ttjiangtt
+1 DM’d you NSS64
+1 You might need to venture downstream a bit since the roles aren’t that comparable (e.g., entry-level positions at smaller banks). Analyst 1 in Private Credit
+1 I’m sorry but I think that’s a path to being miserable and losing yourself. In finance you’ll be surrounded by people who try to find meaning at work. mullah123
+1 Nice - Managing Director of a PE firm posting on WSO? Good luck friend :) Shouldn't you be working right now giving comments on the IC deck to your "associates" or something? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Sounds like Selby Jennings level buffoonery. Chop shop trashMy advice is avoid.  associate_HWS
+1 R3 have been sent out [email protected]
+1 To become a great analyst, especially at a well-known SM HF, you need to focus on a combination of technical skills, critical thinking, and relationship-building. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Makes sense. Thank you! sams3
+1 yeah no worries ubs is still a bb so thats a great outcome for sure. idkwhatimdoing123
+1 no one models in semi hardware land these days Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Would consider working for an AI company over vista. It’s not the best place to be. Massive turnover, a lot of poor assets. Terrible fundraising environment for all three funds. ama1469
+1 VP lateral recruiting activity is insanely hot right now at the LMM level. Have gotten more calls the last month than ever loud_bathroom
+1 Apologies for blowing up, and had a similar situation to you actually, but lucked out getting the offer at the end of last week. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Any insight on common exits from analysts in the past? arcticmonkey21
+1 truly a great value add to the community 3AndDWing
+1 you can definitely make new connections - new people just aren’t as warm to the rerecruiting idea / know how much of an uphill battle it is. Intern in IA

+1 Very helpful.  Should be lower imho!   CPDDOUGH
+1 Prospect in IB - CovHow would you rate an analyst/associate position at Disney corp dev today? Is it still a good entry point into media, tech? TechBanking
+1 Bump Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Most top tech firms will have a C++ team. Build out some projects with it, maybe try lateralling into a C++ team, spend 2 years there, and you've got enough on resume for QD. usernameladiesman217
+1 Most macro funds do some element of both. Because macro and quant go very hand and hand, most macro funds are going to have at least some quant basis, even in discretionary funds. Prop shops are much alike. usernameladiesman217
+1 Hopefully deal flow starts picking up in the us. Their presence over there is very small with a really same team but they have been hiring extra analysts and moving some people across from London. Earnout33
+1 The mod team is so callous about this it’s insane. It would take a bare minimum  AI filter to flag, and one person with common sense to review and delete this crap in 5 minutes. ProbablyEngAnyway
+1 Read Asness, Mauboussin, others. It's a well-covered topic. TL;DR, no, it's not dead.  sand491
+1 Happy to help, non-target currently at an EB Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 commit sudoku  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Learning more is more important than sitting around waiting for a what if in 10 years. That’s a long time to wait for something that might not happen. AngelOfMusic
+1 The consulting side is more of a black hole, but the tier 1 RX consulting firms' comp has been discussed on WSO quite a bit. Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+1 The best of Gen z entrepreneurs are somewhat celebrities themselves, that is in their micro niches online through personal branding. monkeyvjit

+1 Friend is SA there, it is sweaty.. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You should focus on getting your gpa up Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah I know that it's unlikely the comp is a lie bc it's well documented across WSO, and a bunch of other forums, but I'm struggling to wrap my head around 1) what work justifies that high of comp and 2) how on earth the b Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Already made one. Have to be an ivy kid with 10k trophies to be eilgible for consideration. Maybe try brawl stars kid... TeflonDon
+1 No, they’d generally want a Japanese person. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 That's a fair point. I do know that many of the RX consulting firms pay a lot, especially the more niche ones. FTI is the exception that it pays slightly less than "street". Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Back office, under valued and under supported liquidiot
+1 Jpm right Intern in IB - CB
+1 couldn't see myself just "there" without anything to do for multiple years Kevin25
+1 Everyone has a hand and they’re playing it. If you could leave at 10pm, you would. Wish_I_HadTrustFund
+1 Amen to that. I feel ppl are really overfitting to history specially 2020-2021 outlier. However, if we’re 5 years in, we need to pick something for the next 10 years. butter_chicken
+1 I am saying it's a bright spot to the rest of the group to be clear. The only things that UBS has any flow in is LevFin, some sectors of Industrial / Consumer, and Tech ECM. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Wouldn’t describe fintech in FIG as a bright spot, it’s mostly financings  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 ^ VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Also DCM, ECM but mix positions Works at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
+1 Thank you for such an honest take. I really resonate with it.  hollyflower695
+1 Thank you for your response. To follow up, the comp at the ~30M annual production book would be 85-90k all in. tendollahdepreciation
+1 Sounds like hell. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Do you work there - I have heard all kind of stories tbh.. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 You are doing well. Try to write good and thoughtful essays that tell a good story supported by your background. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I saw consumer and FIG also hiring  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 I have no idea why all of this AI shit has to be 100% in or 100% out or why you nerds are constantly polluting the RE forum about it. There is no possible way you used the Cybertruck as an example of cool or innovativ IsItREPE
+1 Well I’m talking about students that have already considered it/interned in it and/or those who are already in entry level areas. fuckshampoo21
+1 Lucien de Montclair is the lesser version of me. He only got his job at WF because he attended Williams Amherst (super target). He has no idea what it’s like to come from NYU. anonymizeplease
+1 I really need to share my experience here. Lexapro did the same thing to me. dean787
+1 Damn, the salty response is all-time lol. You do you buddy, just giving a perspective that is shared amongst my peer set and in my own firm. Edging_Happiness
+1 He's the group head, man. Out here posting on WSO. neil88
+1 That’s because your grandparents are from a Commonwealth country, and therefore are more exposed to British institutions.  Prospect in HF - Macro
+1 only valuable and not treated as a total cost centre if you worked at:- an extremely data-driven fund, such as Nik Storonsky's QuantumLight Principal in VC
+1 Then just get a respectable degree from both Harvard and Oxford so everyone in the world knows your almae matres Probably easier said than done Senior Consultant in CorpDev
+1 dm me got it too targetschoolloser
+1 If this is London, easily Arma Partners - no question. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Prospect in HF - EquityHedgeNot every infra company is a LNG project in the Permian.... high hopes
+1 substituting chocolate with celery and carrots is a hard sell. I agree with not buying chocolate, but eating celery instead is too far. Kevin25
+1 It's gotta be Wells, the agency group falls under corporate and investment banking iirc Prospect in RE - Comm
+1 Warburg Pincus aso2 $200k aso3 $230k vp1 $325k with $25k increments xyzdonttell
+1 I’m in a very similar position and really unsure what to do. I think I just need to take advantage of the fact that I work 9-6 and spend my free time building something on my own Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 nepo + beckie lol that's the final boss of bay st recruitment gkk1234
+1 start looking elsewhere  gtras12
+1 I ended up finding out from someone else that networkign happened Jan-Feb last cycle, so I guess we're a while away from needing to worry about this. Placement happens late Feb Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Anonymous Monkey: Better than the prostate exam they had me do Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Sounds like a double negative that doesn’t cancel out KageSelly
+1 Interesting. Can you clarify? You bootstrapped historically, but wouldn't do it again. You then mention you would consider bootstrapping something from 0.  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 deadlifting 405 at 145lbs bw Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Sell all stock and diversify into the market. You're already very levered to your employer in terms of salary/future bonuses, and presumably you always have a chunk of unvested stock. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 lol they just announced a ~$15B power/utilities merger. Think they also advised on the $10B Skechers/3G Capital deal a couple of months back. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Are there multiple rounds of super days or did all the super days already happen? mountaintop123
+1 second this… he’s gotta be one of the smartest people i’ve listened to. plus the track record to prove it Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 sp1313bump This was just posted today. Where are you bumping it from, exactly?  CRE
+1 Tell them what you would acquire and what it would need to look like. CRESF
+1 Bump, good luck LendingFanatic1
+1 I understand your point of view. Devil’s advocate would say that you should be able to take a view on your employer, and if you think that a lot more growth is to come, you should put your money where your mouth is. Associate 1 in Private Credit
+1 in very similar boat. the frame i'm looking at it is: where do I think i will grow the most? MBB definitely seems more out of my comfortable zone so perhaps it might be worth Prospect in Consulting
+1 Adding to the chorus about only do this if you have the cash reserves available to ride out the full cycle (18-24 months) with no change in lifestyle.  MidasMulligan
