Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Lmao  VP in S&T - FI
+1 Where did you get the whole justification line at the bottom? Not an intellectually honest argument. Emotionally driven victim complex to shame people into silence Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Whatever floats your boat my man hahaah Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Hey  Summer Associate in HF - Other
+1 You have no idea what you’re taking about. Former Apollo employee here. Apollo PE is most desired/competitive by far. Probably followed by HV or Opportunistic. The internal FIG team is not anywhere in the discussion. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 What’s funny?  BullishEvening
+1 Hi Summer Associate in HF - Other
+1 Apply to transfer to Duke, UChicago, UPenn, Dartmouth, Northwestern, Columbia, Cornell, Brown. All of these schools are prestigious without much internal comp (with the exception of Penn/Cornell). Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Means nothing, everyone knows what the targets are SOFRsoGood
+1 I work at one of the firms you mentioned and if you interned at the same one then I’m surprised they’re moving away from hiring IPs from that program given the long standing nature…  Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Yeah who tf cares lmao. No firms is outsourcing their hiring decisions based on a magazine ranking Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 TD DIG as well Bossman123
+1 Bloomberg published an article recently announcing that a group of Barclays hitters moved over to re-start Nomura's legendary real estate lending business. So that explains it. cmbsdude
+1 Roadkill cmbsdude
+1 This comment trying to insinuate that Paris is the “better moral choice” is pathetic. juicy.abel
+1 Thank you so much!  Its true, I can see the stress/hours in the interviewers. Sasha28
+1 yes, i feel we share similar views of the world! Real_Human
+1 They sold a controlling interest in their investment dealer to a First Nations group. acardboardmonkey
+1 This is an overly rigid and exclusionary lens. As a Principal in PE, I would say modeling is a teachable, repeatable skill; it’s not the differentiator at the Associate level. Principal in PE - Other
+1 Total toxic shithole and no idea why anyone in their right mind would ever go there  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 I was just thinking this as well. There are a lot of costs involved in onboarding people. H13x
+1 Couple exits from MBB peers who did 1-3 years in PE would be stuff like: biz ops / strategy at software company, BD/IR/Cap Formations at PE/HF, finance lead at AI company, Product Strategy at AM Firm, of course founder/ent Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 apax (people follow each other on ig), silverlake, permira (supportive and went on trips together) xyzdonttell

+1 OP - as someone who chose a top tier NESCAC over UChicago 15 years ago who still regrets that choice to this day, stick with UChicago.  PaulAllenIsInLondon
+1 Mate, you should really stay at EM. Starting over at McGill would be a waste of time, in my opinion. BlackSwan_77
+1 Is that a first round or final round? Two years ago, my first round is like a 30 to 45 min behavior. moniiiiica
+1 . ab0409
+1 Thank you for sharing, honestly seems like corp dev from FP&A is a pretty decent path to it all. ab0409
+1 Interesting, this is pretty insightful. ab0409
+1 The job gets a bit easier as you get more experienced and know how to do things.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 If at UBs good luck, you are going to need it! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 That could be the case, our firm has been trying to find options outside of loan-on-loan to give us flexibility with our capital on the type of investments we make. AspiringSage
+1 curious_george97 CRE
+1 bibimbopAlso look out for being hungover on days where you have to present / deal with those instances that cause the attacks.  CRE
+1 what team do you work at? because as a banker if you're this close minded, whenever I need to look for bankers, I can avoid ppl like you. pbandjpartners
+1 What was the supplement (so people can avoid it)? I had something similar with Yohimbine + Caffeine. Stopped them both, even coffee I don't drink anymore HighAchiever
+1 There's not much you can do besides just keeping a straight face and keeping your responses short, neutral and professional. Interviewers like that really give you insight on the culture of the group. Associate 1 in IB - CB
+1 In this job, just like most other jobs, some people are a-holes. It's not a good sign for the culture at that group/bank, but at the end of the day, every bank/group has both good and bad people. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Maybe find something remote that is impressive on paper - you can then get an MBA after this period of your life. MMM6969
+1 Brother if you don't know what do just ask your Papa it always works trust me constancedg
+1 End of the day 3 European targets are HEC Bocconi and St gallens in that order for London for uk LBS ,Lse ,Oxbridge and also imperial then there is a significant drop from there for masters recruiting huhhghhbbgghhh
+1 Why do you think banking is a revolving door mate. There’s a price to pay. Welcome to adulthood.  money.monkey
+1 most people were getting offers after r2 but i had a r3 after mine  Analyst 1 in IB - DCM
+1 ASO1 - Got quoted $300 (150+150) MM Fund ($4.5B) prospectbateman
+1 Maybe it is a research type role, like being an economist on a rates desk. Associate 2 in S&T - Comm
+1 I think at the junior level its all pretty similar #s wise from what i know (# hires between MBB in general), bain maybe a bit less because they dont have as many of those regional/satellite offices. Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 I've heard nothing either. I'm not entirely sure how trackr gets this info haha warwick123
+1 Interesting. 2 questions: How does carry work? If you're in the industrials pod as an example, do you only get carry on industrials deals or do you get the same carry on all deals that the fund does?  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 . boib_1
+1 Im going to show you a ground breaking resource that we use in the industry. The secret sauce that we have access to. Why we make the big bucks. Check out the site below:chatgpt.com Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 hhhhhvhj Anonymous Monkey
+1 You can definitely ask, but Citi usually won’t move much on base for VP1. The leverage is more on bonus, sign-on, or guaranteed comp. elsizinie939
+1 there's a lot of SA info on that FT thread. But I'm pre sure for M&A they have alr had an AC if not very soon. There are multiple tho but not sure if that means it's still up in the air if you haven't heard back. in_the_trenches
+1 Michigan is probably the best deal to get a cabin in the woods   Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 bruh there's a VI before AChaven't heard back after HV after doing it on the 21stdoubt i am going to be hearing back Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 A pretty BS process, does not feel like a finance / HF interview at all. Would get comfortable with the fact that you're locked into a 5 year contract in maryland before wasting time with their process Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Not sure how old you are or what your interests are. [email protected]
+1 3x interviews. Think one is technical, on motivational and one is a case study you get sent before (potential merger on a food chain but might have changed). Think they are 30m each. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I’ve used BBG and factset. Factset used to move quick enough, wasn’t BBG speed but never had to wait hours for anything to update. Either you spreadsheet is massive or something is broke with your connection. Ehmerica
+1 High GPA is critical. Really the only thing you can do to stand out. Also, look at joining off cycle if need be. Ehmerica
+1 You seem like someone who likes Dubai (derogatory)  IsItREPE
+1 US fans showing their ass as usual  IsItREPE
+1 Sounds like you don’t really know what you personally want out of your career. crazylifechoices
+1 Network with ex IB / PE guys who transitioned to corporate across different sizes and stages of companies. Talk to people who did other things in finance - PE, PC, VC, GE, etc.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Sorry you are going through this OP, just wanted to say don't let this make you think you are worth any less. thewageslave
+1 I don’t leave until the associates, and especially until my MD leaves. Can always make yourself busy going through old packages or models or reading the news Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Gym m&a? LBOnlyFans
+1 sick iamsimplynotthere
+1 I thought you said in your first post that the newer PM has 10 years experience at brand-name funds. But yet he only gave you a 1.8 Sharpe number over 3 years? kil
+1 Thank you - I really don’t as I had the thought the other day that as soon as I leave this gig I will miss the intensity of it and being surrounded by similarly driven people. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 For context, I have around a 3.5 GPA right now at community college and I’m pretty involved in extracurriculars, including leadership roles. AlphaChaser3
+1 Guess I’m dumb because I have no idea what this topic about. Or maybe I work with normal people and can’t relate.  dukeblue2019
+1 Pivoting from PE to VC/GE is extremely challenging. Principal in PE - Other
+1 I can totally see why an MBB career might be more attractive than PE. The work at MBB is often more strategic and intellectually engaging, whereas PE can feel boring and repetitive. Principal in PE - Other
+1 "What do I do bros? Fucking hell girls nowadays need 24/7 spoon fed attention. A guy can’t go a few days without texting without them thinking its over or something" wherdf
+1 Totally get it. My background was coming from a BD-forward fund (did still model/create decks; was "full stack") and I'd sourced a few platforms and add-ons. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Bump. Any UMM/MF still recruiting for 2026? Know that L catterton recently did a process for their flagship and MM Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Non target AVP here. When I say non target I mean top 300 school. Find the niche, start from non-ib, gain exp in that niche, move to ib. Problem solved FastNotSoFurious
+1 Fair to push back on a 24hour deadline… you will presumably get the offer before the docs and can easily find plenty of questions / things to review. NA in IB-M&A
+1 I know this is meant jokingly, but based on what OP writes it genuinely seems like he doesn't care about the girls he's talking to at all. usernameladiesman217
+1 I would say CRE brokers. The amount of absolute jokers in the LMM that try to rep sellers is crazy. throwway593
+1 Just work in Korea or try to make your way to HK. Not sure how doable SG is. The H1B news is devastating for you. People will say when Trump is gone it will change but it won’t. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Manager in CorpStrat odog @digitalimmortality.com
+1 Spent some time in the Berlin scene. Didn’t get to see the entirety of it but here it goes. pbandjpartners
+1 Base in Paris is €90k for all BBs and good MMs (RBC, Nomura, Jefferies, Macquarie)  Rent is half of what it is in London For how long are people gonna accept that French-monkey
+1 Fred Fredburger CRE
+1 CREwallherder Works at The Family Office
+1 There are always outliers, for instance many students with disabilities attend state universities because of gaps in education and poor finances. Associate 3 in HF - Other
+1 I'm just describing what I sense to be a problem that I thought was solved but seems to be coming back that could block value creation in this country, which is that lot of people treat others based on their ideology rathe pbandjpartners
+1 Bump Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information available about the 2026 Valuation & Opinions Group (VOG) recruiting process or team details for Lincoln International's NYC or Chicago offices. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Maybe some companies will choose a 5 person boutique. But the large ticket, 'headline deals' will prefer to choose established banks. I didn't say just BB, I was referring to elite boutiques aswell. Managing Director in IB - Cov
+1 Why do all your replies get 5 likes instantly, within 2 hours? Do you have burner accounts? Managing Director in IB - Cov
+1 Don’t want to sound too naive but AI next step - besides robotics - is in fact virtual reality, and the jump to highly functional/commercial VR should begin by games. This is what Demis H. Associate 1 in CorpStrat
+1 A related question: do you only tell your top choices once you got an actual written offer from somewhere else (which only leaves a few days to accept or not accept in practice) or can you tell them when you're in late sta Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 Feel free to PM me. I work in the field. H13x
+1 FFS Google the meaning of a middle market bank! They don't even TRY to get on big ticket deals, as they are mid market! You've even admitted you are not in IB. Managing Director in IB - Cov
+1 Exactly. There's really no middle ground in VC. You either make it or you don't. There's no comfortable middle outcome like in buyout or IB. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Hard to know, even if capital outflow is happening it could be tied to a thousand different things. spudrmonke
