+1 It’s hilarious watching some of you all still tiptoe around the obvious fact that Trump is a moron.  Devils Advocate
+1 can you write about your experiences? itswayeasy
+1 Nope. So I've had to be flexible, although SA seems like the sweet spot.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 no (my roommate works there). next week Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Yeah they were acquired by PWP. Honestly not sure where I would put PWP-Devon Park. It’s an EB so I’m sure comp is great, but they aren’t very active. CuriousGeorge1024
+1 Avoid. 4th quartile returns for last fund, at danger of being a zombie fund. Culture doesn't seem too great. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 It’s trading below par because somebody thinks somebody else will sell it at 88. People sell for all sorts of reasons, and sometimes there is no bid. Research Associate in AM - FI
+1 Go Google. rolo25
+1 Bump. Never head about it myself but curious to see if this actually happens.  Intern in IB - ECM
+1 Thanks for the response! That was helpful and makes me feel better about the decision. As an aside, what was your favorite maths course in undergrad/any that you particularly recommend? brownshoes

+1 Anyone here back after recent NYC Superday? sholomdd
+1 Agree with this comment but the chap needs something to write on his UCAS application Count WACCula
+1 DB has a conduit team in Atlanta but I think that’s about it. Typically shops will cover the sunbelt from Charlotte, Miami or Dallas. JamesPukeCannon
+1 Prospect in IB - GenJudge the idea, not the title. MF PE analyst anyway.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Why would you consider SVP to be one of the most desired spots in PE? It's a distress shop, not a PE shop. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Thanks, it seems like the consensus is much stronger than I expected. Is your view mostly based on HSG’s brand for London IB, or also master’s placement afterward? dufo13F
+1 Returns aren’t great. Would avoid. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Equity research is not dead, but it is undoubtedly evolving and facing significant challenges. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s a breakdown of its current state and viable aspects: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 The first time it's thrown in your face, unless you know the industry as a whole it's a pretty tough thing to confront head-on and feels demoralizing. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Thank you so much for providing this info! Just out of sheer curiosity, what does the career pipeline for a regional bank credit analyst look like? Rizz-Management
+1 Ah sorry - didn't realize it was a masters program. Regardless I don't think spending $5k on a program is worth it when you have AI + lots of information on WSO to leverage VP in PE - LBOs
+1 and she keeps you around for your money  blueyellowpink
+1 thank you isaiah. +SB ILOVEBANANAS123
+1 Brett Taylor didn't even believe it could be done at Salesforce so he left and started his own startup. Techie98
+1 Someones getting fired.  Diegoooo
+1 I’m asking for a path that is better than PE. ETF is a brainless example of how underperforming PE is as an asset class and I think LPs notice that too. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 you thinking of a revenue retention analysis?  Diegoooo
+1 I wonder if they try to sell how much loans from the ubs and credit suisse branches would need to come with it for the deal to make economic sense? mkaypowlo

+1 Anonymous Monkey: Stephennyangwara
+1 Literally all nepo or diversity anonmonkey025
+1 Honestly, you're onto something, but recruiting in this market is just trading one headache for another. Wait until transaction volume picks back up, then make the jump! Hanlon
+1 Upperclassman at a target (none of the schools mentioned), but I’d rank UChicago > Duke >= Dartmouth. UChicago had an absolutely killer 2027 cycle for bbs, ebs, and publics. Had me shocked Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I like my decks like I like my steaks - well done Managing Director in IB - Cov
+1 I think your instinct is right (coming from someone with an RX background) Associate 1 in IB - Restr
+1 If you want to raise capital and don't have strong connections to rich people or institutions then you need to let as many people know as possible you are looking for capital. The Biz Kid

+1 I think it's still a thing, just not as straightforward as it used to be. anaisss_
+1 For “heavy financial modeling” sounds retarded. The average, and even complex financial models can run on a $300 chrome book. If it can’t you should learn how to optimize. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Having a solid track record with a platform and add-ons is already a huge win in this market. Funds definitely value guys who can actually close deals without a committed fund behind them, that’s real hustle. Hanlon
+1 Interesting at least in the US markets, deal flow in healthcare tech / software has picked up significantly at the sponsor level. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 What fiancee bud? I knew the English curriculum where you're from is bad but I didn't know you couldn't even comprehend 150 words  (Sorry if you're and your confused ya) AVP Quant
+1 Great take, will also say anecdotally as someone whose friends with many fresh medical attendings -- a lot of most lucrative offers out of training is almost always hospital / health system employers. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 GIS self glaze post Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Wes does well if you start prepping earlier. Issue is the less pre-professional environment, which contributes to the lack of early preparation.  at least 15ish across BB/EB/MM sounds about right. TrySomeMalort
+1 I wonder if you are one of those "poor performers" who doesn't know when to use "it's" versus "its" DAFA
+1 Del Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Pray to your god that no one heard you or that your friend cool with it.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Literally no need to do any finance related minor. Your prep can easily be done outside of school and most courses in school don't apply properly to technicals. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Totally reasonable to prefer WLB over REPE hours. I would suggest avoiding consulting though if you want better WLB.  Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 A millie as a VP Quant? Do you think I'm Bjarne Stroustrup?And it's ok bud I'd rather get silver than import a Mexican captain so I win gold once every 42 years AVP Quant
+1 People shit on Canada because the salaries are lower than elsewhere, but they don't factor that a house in the same neighbourhoods where some billionaires live costs 1.2M USD on average (Toronto) - less than your average c AVP Quant
+1 Happy to help yodoloo

+1 Brother, getting paid is a luxury good in this asset class. My compensation history is basically: logdog
+1 I dunno, it still feels like a delineation of tiers. Vandy likes to play games with the applicants, and I’d group them in more of the ND level than Northwestern  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Structuring these roll-ups usually comes down to setting up a clean holding company, especially if dealing with cross-border funding or international partners. dean787
+1 Agree with thinkpad. T14 or X1 carbon would be my recommendation. 16GB ram should be plenty unless you’re dealing with large customer cubes which you won’t be until you are actually on the job moon.crupper_1z
+1 Intern in PE - LBOsdamn that's crazy, when can you potentially hit eight figures a year then? 5+ years into it? PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
