+1 that’s what I’m sayin too. if u have a shit gpa u better have made a good impression on HHs, cuz they will still put u in front of clients if u know ur shit Investment Analyst in IB - Gen
+1 In the past few years I have seen colleagues and juniors pushed out only for MD to fulfill his political fantasy of having a woman VP & above, only for that woman to quit within months after getting the role. Director in IB - Cov
+1 Would add Five Elms, Brighton Park, Rubicon Tech Partners, Cove Hill, Silversmith, and Baypine. BV and Main are sneaky good. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Oakley Capital also in Europe Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 15 min response time on a Sunday is completely fine.  Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Funny I also went to Andover/Exeter and both the kids I know well currently at Stern picked it over 1. Cornell and the second Brown and Uchi. rooseveltfan
+1 Accel-KKR is definitely a top 3 fund in the space, crazy returns Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 A lot of people's deals are not going to be sponsor sell-side or buy-sides given the state of the M&A market. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Hello friend, I was in the same shoes and I quit on the spot and landed a new role within in 5 months with a 3 month break between to hit the gym, read, and do 2 intl trips. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Heard good things about their REGAL group, specifically gaming and lodging.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Whoever releases the unredacted Epstein files (sigh) dukeblue2019
+1 I'd say GHL and CVP but for different reasons Summer Associate in Risk Mnmgt
+1 but i feel like this goes into more than just misogyny. i think OP is upset no one is admired by her, respects, or really wants anything to do with them. it isn't just misogyny, it's why aren't i liked by the guys. samadams
+1 So ngmi nutmegger189
+1 I know it has military roots, but every single person I see driving one is a housewife. I think there are four used as mom mobiles in my neighborhood alone.  CRE
+1 You are not getting into the US from the UK unless you already have the right to work in the US Prospect in IB - DCM
+1 magik CheccoZalone17
+1 Yeah I agree no point in continuing to post. Everyone knows UBS is awful and declining rapidly. Most of their teams are fairly clueless and it would be hard to trust them with anything meaningful Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 any interview invites been going out? jan is next week Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Keep going - I’m ready to bet you’re living the dream of many people. I’m sure there’s a lifestyle shift but at least it feels real and at least you’re building something tangible. ibwannabe66
+1 How is any of the things on this reflective of their team being clueless? it's very clear it's the same 1 or 2 posting on alts, so not really reflective of the juniors there. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 While I can't speak for the coursework as I don't do that specific course, the exits recently have been to MMs like RBC and Moelis. There used to be a lot of BB offers but I think it's died down as of late.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Evercore Rx Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Errr.. I think bro lied Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 You’ve spent too much time on the internet and have subsequently been transformed into a soulless ghoul by your social media algorithm. Please log off and spend some time outside in the real world. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Is this why they pay associates below market Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1  . wawaweewa42
+1 Age is just a number. Nobody really cares about age if you do your work properly. Good luck on getting the offers! most_respected_zone_c
+1 lol Altas - not even close, Novacap counts it’s aum on how much they raised since inception (the 80s), its not even real AUM, their tech fund IRR is declining (Although still not bad) and most juniors do boring infra deals AlexDaModelMonkey
+1 It was circle j**k Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 theres literally 0 cap on OPT which lasts for 3 years (every school including MBAs has changed their program to make it "STEM" to qualify for the 3 years) arbjunkie
+1 what is the gpa out of 30? As the other comment says, I don't think the GPA should matter too much in BIEF, with the GMAT score so long as you don't get auto reject.  hutcointraders
+1 The best thing about being interested in energy is that you are pretty much alone in that preference, and therefore competition is more limited. MMPM
+1 Leaving UBS post bonus. Excited to be free! I recommend never considering working here. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Any culture/comp info on Petrie? Odd that they would be ranked below gugg given your comments on both banks lol dallasnative5887
+1 Bump Mr. Moe
+1 Curious on how you do the math to determine the value per 1% Director in RE - Other
+1 do you work in FIG or trying to get into it? FIG is pretty hot rn and most franchises are hiring, JPM the most and MS the least of those you listed but many EBs also were hiring for it this year.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Thanks. I think the obvious thing to say is that prices have not come down yet since leaving the recent decade+ boom. So buying low cannot be done today.  Developer in RE - Comm
+1 The firm is actively moving to have an “intense” culture? So it is trying to be a worse place to work? midwest_analyst
+1 Thank you for your response. I think what your suggesting is what I will most likely end up doing unless if I get a decent chunk of money from either of those schools which I doubt since they are public universities. SoCalTrader
+1 I'm guessing it will be - kids who got it last year for the Feb session got it on Jan 10. Wiggle
+1 Yes it better pass the eye test. But re the call, most bankers will focus on your interests section so make sure that stands out. cms501
+1 Serent is lower middle market, investing in growthy $10-15M ARR founder business; they would be selling into Hg / AKKR, not really competing  MrHuman
+1 Is the 2025 of the 400 questions necessary? or do old versions work too epwoieiw922t
+1 bump chimpbusinessachimpsreview
+1 Thanks yeah on the reviewing work point - i was quite bothered there. I sat down with the md walked him through the structure, sent a detailed overview of machanics, then in IC he mischaracterizes. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 its ok to be poor throwingawaytime
+1 Mad the misfortune of participating in their interview process. As others have pointed out, the firm seemed like a total shit show. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Def BofA from a prestige / exits standpoint. But maybe not on the upward trend like Citi is. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah time to move  midwest_analyst
+1 Also considering leaving my MF to pursue something entrepreneurial. Couple of questions for you: Associate 2 in IB-M&A

+1 Anybody else gunning for the SF Tech team? DelusionalDave
+1 Oxford Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 know the lyrics to poland lil yachty Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Worse kind are the ones who claim they have a special relationship with MD who is a performative white man. Guess what there is nothing appropriate about that relationship IYKYK Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 no some bbs are alot more behavioral focused, barc/gs sometimes wont ask you a single technical even for nondiv. good mm's are probably between eb and bb Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 need kowalski analysis as an option Mike_wacczowski76
+1 https://main.nl/press-release/sdb-aqcuires-alfa/ SaaSmaster
+1 fairly sure its Knighthead Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 When it comes to ultra-wealthy individuals in "boring" industries like manufacturing, logistics, or food processing, the reality is a mix of self-made success stories and generational wealth. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Interned in 2023, started 2024, and I’m already looking to leave. Feel like I was tricked Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Funny enough, this is actually true. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Then that settles it then. If you look at the lifestyle of the Senior MDs/Partners of your firm and it doesn’t inspire you, time to consider alternatives. I’d do research and network as much as you can before doing so. NahFAM69
+1 The sad thing is I recognize some of these critiques (directed at both myself and others) given I’ve worked at a couple places where feedback like this is not uncommon. kuf135
+1 I'd say Jefferies/RBC/Blair or T2 consulting for the mid 50%. Unsure about the bottom 25%, probably something like KPMG or back office. Intern in Consulting
+1 Will just chime in too. Similar to above, good background etc, opportunistically looking, not getting forced out. VP1/SA level. Northeast. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 I am more senior than VP with ~15 years of experience. $5+ billion aggregate AUM in debt core plus/opportunistic. VP in RE - Other
+1 Credit wuandale33
+1 I heard this once from a female junior who was sleeping with that married MD Associate 1 in IB-M&A

+1 Bruh. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 rx prep got commoditized with rxinterviews + pari passu which imo made it alot sweatier but alot more meritocratic. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 genuinely curious, but what are they asking you all in these "hard" interviews technical wise? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Incoming Analyst in IB - GenIts based in NYC 10-15 seats in Toronto WaffleFalafel
+1 Yep having HSG on the CV is a plus, but I guess it's probably more suitable for EU citizens who have no problem getting a job in CH. czqlds
+1 The reality is 95% of places won’t check beyond confirming that you did attend and graduate with the degree that you claim. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 As an international, im gonna give my perspective. Im gonna talk about the sentiment of students applying to colleges as internationals.short answer.It is not even close. fw4532
+1 Right, and most interview processes will end before then. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 After PE this is doable, after just IB it’s tougher. After just IB, I think $120-$150K cash for a 9-5 fully remote is realistic. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Was this for SA or a fulltime role? GHL rx was orders of magnitudes easier vs PJT/EVR back when i recruited Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Looking at around $2M I think - nothing formal yet. It’s my 4th year in the industry, although I had another unrelated career previously. Analyst 3+ in HF - Other
+1 i second this, def feel the same way but recognize it might be very PM-dependent bintangboss
+1 BofA is so easy it loops around to being hard because it's almost impossible to differentiate yourself. 20 mins of extremely basic technicals, and 20 mins of extremely basic behaviorals, all over zoom. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀If you're a guy that keeps count, you're either a loser or autistic. Whatever1984
+1 NewIndustryHorizonBump, curious about up-to-date opinions. Whatever1984
+1 This is exactly why I didn't do IB. I looked around at age 20 and realized I was too late. The people you describe were already years ahead and I didn't even realize the full extent at the time. Developer in RE - Comm
+1 Most people i know that have parents like that did not even use connections, most of them just had parents that were extremely on their ass everyone I know that got into IB had a either an older sibling or a parent guiding financialrepublic
+1 HK is the heart of HSBC. It’s best MDs and teams are there overlord481216
+1 Deal stage shouldn’t be an issue. The main point is your opinion on the deal. Do you like the deal, what would you pay for it, are some of the risks and how would you protect yourself on those risks? Bro beans
+1 Yes - HCOL. But I know at my level, my peers in other markets have the same comp structure. What are you currently at and what are your expectations of compensation at the upper levels?  Developer in RE - Res
+1 Have witnessed some pretty blatant nepotism here lmao but the real problem is the lack of deal flow, the shitty culture, low bonuses, bad MDs who can’t bring in deals, abusive directors and executive directors creating unn Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 You need to work in the UK first and then do an internal transfer to the US. This is the most common way of doing it (you have no chance otherwise). 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+1 Charisma myth, how to listen how to speak, every body, how to win friends(this is an obvious).  usernameladiesman217
+1 When we getting that AMA? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
