+1 The least sweaty do the least deals. That said, I would go BB if you are dead set on FIG as it’s important to be a lender for capital intensive businesses. Of the EBs, Evercore/PJT the best for alts. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Both are kind of a joke. Corp fin is just industry coverage and you probably wont ever touch an m&a deal there, unless you get lucky. Just DCM and business development work. M&A there is a little better Incoming Analyst in IB - Gen

+1 Dude, Ukraine and Poland have a lot in common, but on the other hand, there are still many disagreements because of our shared history. So yeah, it’s mostly about historical context and old rivalries. Anonymous Monkey
+1 That's roughly half of what first-year analysts in IB earn saunacowboy
+1 GS PC is pretty sweaty but does lot of the large ticket sponsor deals in EMEA. One thing to note is the role is more akin to leveraged finance with heavy focus on deployment vs risk-adj returns. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 I have been looking into reliable worktravel bags too,and your post made some great points about balancing style and practicality. smithjohn1

+1 I'll build you one for $ RogerTheAlien
+1 Is it really so shocking that America is prioritizing Americans? hedgehog9
+1 Time to be honest. I know patience is a virtue but I can’t see myself in my current role for 3+ years. I also find myself in that sweet spot age where an MSF can work and I wouldn’t go into analyst role too old. mrguy
+1 Most SPACs indeed failed and/or acquired a target that traded poorly (often wasn't actually mature enough to be a public company). The pace of new SPACs has dramatically slowed from the height in 2020/2021. SaaSChimp

+1 Yes, I understand what you mean — my opinion of Poles is rather superficial, and I am prepared to admit that. Anonymous Monkey
+1 I have heard good things about YREPNY events on this site and the guy who founded it is very kind. When I went I was among the few with a full time role (mix of interns and students) but everyone there was friendly. Chet Manley

+1 nice A/B testing anonf0fty
+1 Undriveable was an overstatement. I more meant that central London (hell a lot of London) is often tedious to drive through. Balance.of.Payments
+1 was not expecting Canadian banking groups other than bmo m&m to get spotlight like this lol  nontargetnewbie

+1 Kind of a tangent but its always interesting to me that the discourse by hyperliberal white dudes on places like Reddit are always "aSianS aRE So RaCISt" because some people in China don't like Japan due to some of the mos Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Wells is a top 5-10 firm in underwriting for most of the major products in fixed income, while that does not tell you exactly how active secondary trading is it’s a decent proxy.  Director in S&T - FI
+1 The reason people are giving you shit for it is because it was an unnecessary comment that added nothing to the topic. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Well most PE funds are a 2-3 years and out and if you know you don't want to continue PE (or 'high finance') in general I'd probably just cruise and get out. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Prestige Worldwide is in market raising a massive fund I heard LBOnlyFans

+1 In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. longandshort
+1 Expatiate on the horror stories captprice

+1 Why are you copying and pasting multiple posts about being the worst analyst and worst associate man, what is wrong with you. This job is not that hard.   Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 exactly, I don’t want to be picky at all. For me breaking in is the hardest part. so in other words you recommend I go with BNP if it’s my only option right? i really just want to break in, that’s my big thing. misskels.tb
+1 Offers out bankerz.

+1 :( Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Absolute sweatshop, have heard horror stories from friends. For perspective, the head of the Boston office was dming kids on LinkedIn to recruit analysts to join their group… [email protected]
+1 It’s the usual advice. 3.8+ checks the box no questions asked.3.7 for me is fine as well, but it doesn’t hit the same. SOFRsoGood
+1 I did it and landed at a EB some time ago. If you’re fully on top of your recruiting and networking grind you’ll place a job in ~2 months and party for the next 8. Find a good group  though, it’s a bit cliquey. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 "some constituent who isn't me"😂 captprice
