+1 You make no sense. I am against DEI in shapes and forms. I am pointing out that your rants are misdirected. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 What do you mean “your answer”? I DIDNT EVEN ASK A QUESTION. I don’t care about white women benefitting. I ONLY WANT PEOPLE TO BENEFIT BASED ON MERIT. Anonymous Monkey
+1 any CAD / UK datapoints? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 clearly no fcking idea what you are talking about.  betachimp
+1 Historically, almost exclusively management consulting or internal transfers from business teams. aristosT
+1 This is pretty common––i'd avoid following up more than three times. Have also gotten interviews where even though I have followed up I wasn't gotten back too, but was accelerated bcuz i was added to call sheet Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Another public co IRO here. Is director your actual title? what COL area are you in? For me: $175k base +25% target bonus (part of this is equity, part is cash) +30% LTIP (vests over 3 years) Director in CorpFin
+1 The flight school I'm looking at is a 0 to First Officer integrated full time study program that lasts 2 years, and they have direct lines to SAS, Norwegian, and Air Greenland who hire straight out of the flight schools. Boef
+1 Sounds similar to a fund of funds job which makes this a difficult transition. Would need a strong undergrad and maybe another degree to pivot into something in quant research.   PM in HF - Other
+1 Are you an intern? Then you have very limited power over staffing. Or you mean going forward?No sense of doing PEG if you don’t like the topics of investments / similar, as the work is very repetitive. Felixfab
+1 If this scenario happens there will be much bigger / broader problems and I don't see the negative impacts being limited to this structure v. more broadly across all of privates. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Yup exactly how I think about it (and my comment above) and you articulated it better than I did. kuf135
+1 Recent G Town grad. While Texas might give you a leg up for PUI through its location and inherent access to PUI, from these 3 options, GTown is a pretty good one. Prospect in CorpFin
+1 Wells industrials is having a strong year. Think they are on the come up, seen mandates in packaging and A&D as well as the Union Pacific deal.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 sorry, let me clarify: Intern in IB-M&A
+1 I agree, and this is what i hate about the industry. No one really cares anymore.  Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Thanks for the response. Why are people going around on this forum saying the hours are good for this group? 70-85 a week is objectively bad Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Avoid BoyWithRizzz
+1 This is why IS/ETA has become more popular. The risk-reward is very high. StrategyJunkie
+1 Not necessarily… Wharton and Stern undergrads have similar GPAs and SATs when applying. That’s the state of college admissions these days. rooseveltfan
+1 “Closer to being homeless” lol stfu - this forum has seen many of young folk that weren’t cut out for the industry come & go and become spiteful / irrational. ky9xnsz
+1 DEI has sparked a generation of pissed off white men who were deliberately not hired for years. All of those guys who never got those IB jobs because of discrimination. For a decade plus. John Stone
+1 Yeah, a lot of what I read is that a lot of exits come from the banking side of securitized products- so unsure if the trading/structuring with securitised products falls under that umbrella/is different. obsidian hunter
+1 Don't worry they just hired Mike Yee. They'll reach the top in no time /s totalpause
+1 Bro LMFAO what is this website. This is easily the worst "Meet the team" page I've ever seen on a website Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 How is comp at Citi CB NY relative to other firms? Associate/VP bonus? Associate 2 in IB - CB
+1 That’s essentially it. brutal which is why I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ASO leave for another bank, only VP+ if they can get their new firm to buy out the clawback  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 No we are all cooked Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I'd recommend St Gallen, plus it places better than Imperial F&A for sure.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Do the sweaty GS. Survive at least a year and then move to AM. Better for your long-term career and $/hour over time.  SonicBoom12
+1 Did a 22 year old vape kid on TikTok name this firm?  This is the name of a firm that owns like 2.5 condos in Dubai and says it's a real estate developer. Nouveau Richie
+1 If you want to be a lifer in either of the careers (banking vs rx consulting), the lifestyle in RX co is 100% more sustainable. Also, A&M pays better per hour, since you get a % of the revenue you bring in. Associate 3 in Consulting
+1 Assist. VP in RE - CommDoes the Founder like to climb mountains? If so I think know the group. Great opp just a big bet on the platform. VP in RE - Res
+1 Sounds pretty similar to my experience and responsibilities. I'm getting 3.0% but on a $500m fund but my cash comp is only $500k (I do have great hours though and don't live in a VHCOL market). Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 The capital markets team is staring at market data, doing market reports, and speaking with debt investors. Works at Wells Fargo
+1 imma PM you icositetragon
+1 They would size me down for sure and I would fight that market should be closer to 2.5% of the $1B. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 If you are currently registered with FINRA, 79, 63, SIE, I am pretty confident you will not be able to do this. Ask your HR about OBA. Would suck to lose a great job for $150 poorbanker212
+1 Makes sense you would want to underwrite the property-level CF for loan constraints/sizing, but 1) why do you need to underwrite the sponsor's CF as well, and even more specifically, their DCF, and 2) what does modeling le Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 go for it First_Lien_Larry
+1 What’s the $ value of a point in the fund? Rule of thumb is 1/3 of comp comes from each of base, bonus, and average annual carry. However, $ value of a point varies by fund. MultifamilyGuy
+1 OzymandiaProspect in RE - Comm Pokemon Master
+1 I am not in NY but that’s where it is tough like in your mind what does a SVP do? I feel like titles are so highly dependent on company I think a better way would be to describe the role / responsibilities you have. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 . monekey11
+1 Offers are out for Houston Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You are generally correct but I know a few people from MBB with 3-4 YOE who left to corporate strategy roles paying ~300K. Senior Consultant in Consulting
+1 Can those family friends pull their connections in the US for you? Know a couple people in CAS who got great offers either through pure grit or more commonly through nepo (i.e. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Seconded the mercenary culture. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Go big green hardcode4u
+1 Listen to Dan Sundheim's latest podcast; if you want to do publics at a top SM your best bet is PE full stop. Your best bet to PE is IB full stop. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 It’s not nothing to do with Oxbridge “falling off” and especially not that they’re “flocking to quant” lol. tedwards128
+1 No I would not ever play this. HF professionals do not need an app to help them “discover new stocks.” Next question Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 I think if your goal is to work in London, then Imperial will give you an advantage with the 2-year visa-free program. BiggestMonkey21
+1 I mean I wouldn’t put my face out there just so I don’t have a Russian group making a replica of me in 10y Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Its over for Indians, cant live In India(apartheid state) and if you leave every 3rd person hates you because of where you were born. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 In my experience a lot of people use NYU housingso that puts you with a bunch of other student interns, with the security of dealing wi braxtonberrios
+1 Love that there are people out there that write shit like this and think “fuck I’m so funny” Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I agree with your sentiment but what you quoted is just an objectively true statement. Bankers are a lot closer to homeless than they are to billionaire status.  Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I went through banking now in PE, schedule all your emails for Jan 6, 10am. No one is responding to networking emails now Tommy-Cruise
+1 Hey man, incoming SA in PubFin here. I saw above that you got placed in project finance because of your business-focused background - If you could restart, would you stick with that vertical or switch to another? laxy
+1 Thanks a lot for taking the time to write such a thoughtful response! Really appreciate the honesty and the level of detail. L_M_33
+1 I think my gut is pretty close then. Might be a 2.0% and grows 0.5% every year or so until you get closer to 5%. CRESF
+1 Echoing this, if you are recruiting for PF right now, I would take these topic areas and have your LLM of choice make a bunch of variations of it. Would also have a friend read out the generated question verbally. laxy
+1 Happy to be corrected, but would think megacap would be 500bn+ and maybe scaled but not megacap would be 100bn - 500bn? Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Few years of IB might help you skip through the junior roles of a large corporate faster, but after that I believe starting to gain the experience across non-M&A corporate functions like FP&A, accounting, treasury, Manager in CorpFin
+1 When I was in IB, I saw Georgetown kids more often by a large factor. Works at Bessemer Venture Partners
+1 A couple issues with your argument. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I think that most DoorDash stuff you see out there is more S&O than true Corporate Strategy. Their pay in S&O also sucks across all levels from what I've seen and has a reputation as being a sweatshop.  TheGrimace
+1 Top of the street comp, high profile exits, and top deal flow? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 . monekey11
+1 Well directors(D/MD) at Lazard probably no longer pull in multi millions The Fool of Finances
+1 IMO it might make more sense to classify based on revenue, since it makes a difference whether you're mostly a vanguard with 500bn charging a few bps versus an LO with 50bn and 1% fees. Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 I'm in large cap PE, already there Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 There are much better schools out there bro that are not full of hardos that will throw you under the bus during recruiting birdhouse890
+1 If this is in reference to traditional Muni-FA work (i.e. Hilltop, PFM, etc.) I can't really speak to it. I have very rarely interacted with FAs in my role.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I heard back last week it's for London M&A group omia
+1 Yeah feel free to message me! grindeveryday
+1 Had S&T few weeks ago followed up still waiting they said to be patient utt1212
+1 I followed up hr before she said they have too many groups and each is separated so I guess they may send out results separately also omia
+1 I agree. You want to work in London, go to London.  hutcointraders
+1 Not the guy you replied to but for context I’m doing one of the grad programs and joining one of those type of teams the brought up. Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 i've seen a wordle for song/album/artists and the hints for those are so niche but they're Ws. Maybe make a ticker one, but then branch off and make a name in finance [undergrad, fun facts, idk] and etc. Bobcat77
+1 The HBS thing you mention is a waste of your time, no matter the circumstances.  hutcointraders
+1 pere797 Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 is this SA or FT? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Absolutely trash year for UBS IB, no doubt. Q3 was decent but 1H and Q4 are gonna be bad. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 How do you go to UChicago but you don't know basic grammar? If you made these same basic errors in your emails that might be why Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 All same wirehouse. The NY office opportunity came from my last team’s MDs’ referrals, 1.8B book came from networking around last summer’s office w management, 30M producing offer came from similar management figure. tendollahdepreciation
+1 Yeah I’m not thrilled about it Associate 1 in Private Credit
+1 propmetrica.com: propmetrica.com
+1 a lot of people have left over the past 3 years  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Checks out, worst group at the bank and it's not even close. See their juniors working till 2:00 - 3:00 AM for them all to collectively close zero deals. Other groups have some kind of balance (i.e. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 bump corpdevgooner
+1 What is the target? You need to tell us. rooseveltfan
+1 Auto rooseveltfan
+1 Can you extend graduation by 1 semester, load up on GPA booster classes (can you take summer classes or January term as well?) + get an internship and recruit next year instead?  Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Pushing out your fellow co-head, that's the Blackstone way (the Jon Gray playbook) Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Yeah idk you're kinda fucked. Stern is the best school of the three but a low gpa is the worst at Stern out of the 3. rooseveltfan
+1 Agree with comments on nothing to lose. Would be thoughtful and tactical about approach. It is a long life and would actually argue there is upside in reaching out even if the response is not today. Anonymous Monkey
