+1 It is a bit slower than HY investing but there are degrees to it: an insurance company or mutual fund seat will be more buy-and-hold oriented while a hedge fund may be flipping new issues, taking on short-term relative val Research Analyst in AM - Other

+1 Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of these, but I’d say go for something that enhances your presence rather than screams for attention. kweyamasifiso123
+1 Bump CHIMPCHUMPCHIMP
+1 No, not at all. You can easily cover Ireland from London, most banks have a 'UK&I' coverage team, (some banks even cover the Nordics directly from London) unders

+1 I am a credit sales looking for exits, proven more than just difficult.. AnonymousMonkey.1230
+1 Everything you say makes sense, except your view being counter-consensus. Everyone I know in the industry is afraid about their career prospects because of AI. MMPM
+1 It depends on what you are doing, but at the end of the day it all amounts to the same outcome. I know that isn't really a good answer, but at the end of the day you use what the rest of group is asking for. PEarbitrage
+1 Dead Internet ‘theory’. sasha_j24
+1 I mean definitely reach out as soon as possible, but from my experience we don’t hire until winter before you graduate (unless there is an intern program, and wven still it’s around then for those not in it) so I guess lat excelmonkey5410

+1 How good/reputable is your existing shop? Is the MM comp guaranteed better or just a carrot? Credit pods have a pretty good history of blowing up fairly often. Principal in HF - Event
+1 Why do you think physical commodities is not realistic for you now? Ag companies will hire any warm body and pay you like shit until you prove yourself/quit. But the opp is there for anyone that wants it. lake_michigan
+1 Hard to recommend without knowing what kind of firm. I’d kill myself if I had to work in LO IG credit Principal in HF - Event
+1 great, now you can actually enjoy your life and find something more meaningful that makes more money instead of being an average finance bro. Grats, should have come sooner.  LiveEveryDay
+1 I guess B School didn’t teach you how much buying power $1bn is. Think of how many deals the fund has to close to spend it all, and how many you’d have to underwrite to even get there. aspiringcoolperson
+1 lol I went to a school in T2. I have a bunch of friends that went to Duke and I visited a couple times. All of these guys placed great and had a good time. Didn't go to Duke or NU. Investment Analyst in HF - Other

+1 Combination of the two, not every seat at BLK is necessarily worth taking and the same is true of many FI AM role, but to be able to work on investment side at one of the world's largest fixed income managers is a no-brain rugbyladdy
+1 Interesting hypothesis but I disagree. Humans are social creatures and while each of us has our own idiosyncrasies and quirks, post-developmental nervousness is a learned behavior. longandshort
+1 That's just not true. Evolutionarily speaking, we have strong evidence of nervousness and anxiety as a present factor. It's something that kept us safe when we were cavemen. usernameladiesman217
+1 Big 3 Japanese bank along with SMBC and Mizuho. They've been really aggressive in recent years with the push into the US because Japan is kinda fucked long term. Not a terrible place to be if they succeed in that push. usernameladiesman217
+1 Agreed - I definitely like buyout as an investment strategy much more than growth equity (and VC), but I just could not stand my MF PE colleagues at all (I still can't and I hope never to see them again). Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 we exited our most of the legacy portfolio and instead just have a real time trade trigger to buy index calls whenever trump's account posts on truth social and then to sell when tweets / IBs hit a critical mass for the ke Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Hi, thanks for the great info! I do agree that I should look for whichever school's culture fits me the best, but I honestly don't think I can get into a better college, so I'm going to have to settle with this lol. lpm45
+1 WW morse i think is best choice. spiff
+1 What’s with all the glazing over wells FSG? I understand the culture is strong, but their market share and flow with sponsors isn’t very good. Is it a culture/pay thing? Director in IB - Gen
+1 I’ve seen the nepo situation transpire once. A spot was “created” for the kid his dad was someone who brought in a few deals. BoutiqueAsc
+1 The Economist predicted BCG will surpass McKinsey in revenue by 2027. McKinsey's well-publicized scandals have taken a toll, in addition to a perceived lack of cutting-edge tech consulting. Hazelmom
+1 If you already have an offer from Williams, you can probably get into at least 1 ivy. Also, there's plenty of other great IB feeders, or great schools in general. usernameladiesman217

+1 REPE Analyst 2 in IB - Gen

+1 i hate opening this shit in class cuz why does it just flash me with some random kid's headshot Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 I've worked in finance for almost 15 years. It's EXTREMELY rare for HR to set up a rejection call. They always email rejections. brianplord

+1 The key is to never invest larry david
+1 Thank you. I'll keep you posted hopefully it's not a bad surprise.  I was under the assumption that the team would call me given how chilled the head of the team was with me. nzhffe
+1 Travel 100%, will never have this amount of time off for a long time gangmusic
+1 I would be hesitant to call it the next stage because for ibd BofA its traditionally HV->AC and ive seen that people have been getting these calls/meetings but they’re most likely a pre screen for the ac for some candid aeromos
+1 brianplord CRE
+1 I hear that man. The job-hunt process will wreck your psyche. Makes the reward that much nicer though. Enjoy the weekend. brianplord
+1 One thing ive seen some candidates get is like after 4 days to a week after the hirevues a few people i think 3 out of the 850 person Bristol tracker WhatsApp gc were emailed by a member of the recruitment team for their p aeromos
+1 recruited ft 26 and got 2 rejections over the phone, one of which was set up in advance. really got my hopes up lol Intern in IB - Cov

+1 Muni is going to be a very different beast than any of those coverage groups you listed and probably not very transferable. Ruebenesque
+1 I think HK and Seoul would be very tough, but white-worshipping Japan seems doable. I know many foreign expats in Japan working in finance. Almost all of them are traders / in markets-related roles as opposed to bankers. Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+1 put it in ur bio if u want high schoolers - freshman that don't know how to find banks email format spamming ur inbox. painsionplan
+1 Briggs and Riley mainline if money is no object  premia
+1 Yeah it’s a growth bet with half the ex CS sponsors team coupled with good culture and comp from what I know about them. VP in PE - Other

+1 Hi! Spent some time doing project finance and got the sense that doing PF at a bank where we didn't win deals was a little boring. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 That seems fine but you just ask what P&L has been. wsj43
+1 it will be a tough sell to apply for next cycle MBA. You really do need at least 4 to be competitive, especially if it's a BO role. BulgeBracketBrand123
+1 yeah that's def an option, to go to something that has more transferrable skills or gets you more face time into high finance, though that can also be a grind. BulgeBracketBrand123
+1 hi! Prospect in HF - Macro
+1 Read a lot, travel, get some new hobbies usernameladiesman217
+1 Appreciate you doing this - I did 3 years in energy IB + a few years in corporate (at a developer now doing PF), but I wish I had something where I work a bit more, with higher comp. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
