+1 RBC already is BB. Check tables land.gets.depreciated
+1 Horton Plaza just went back to the bank after being financial engineered until death. Such a cool concept caught in a bad market.  ThatGuyBalls
+1 First AC’s will be at the start of November, wouldn’t expect anyone to hear about an AC for the next week or two Anon6
+1 No. It has minimal presence in Europe/Asia. All of the other BBs do. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 PEarbitrageWeight. Whatever1984
+1 It’s a strong group. Not going to win many deals from the PJTs, Evercore, HL etc’s of the world, but they’re on high quality stuff all the time. Overall the brand is fantastic and this extends to the Rx world. Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 H.I.G. PE groups have a very easy case study, which was just a templated LBO model with a couple sensitivity related questions. Actual qualitative case stuff is done verbally at the superday.   Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Williams is good enough for banking. Best way I’d think of it is if you can’t break into banking from Williams, chances are it’d be tough elsewhere as well. Just lock in there, massive feeder to MBB and GS whoooo
+1 Reaching out on LinkedIn is your best bet; but honestly apart from DeNovo; there are about 15 names I would consider reaching out to as a priority over the above ones Dubai_IB
+1 . zachroyal20
+1 Heard from a reputable source that the bank did an investigation and thread was posted from someone within the mining team. They apparently also forwarded the thread to a number of colleagues under an anonymous email. yolobanker123
+1 Sure PM for more insight.  Dubai_IB
+1 If you haven’t gotten the call by senior year of HS it’s over unfortunately Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 This path is very intriguing to me. Consultant in CorpFin
+1 I think I get what youre trying to say, but then for example there should be no reason to rank H as high as YPSM as it consistently has far worse college experience. Door

+1 Next, you're the exact type of student that the recruiting infrastructure at Williams for IBD & consulting is centered around. PaulAllenIsInLondon
+1 dang i need to tell my brother to get on some of this stuff, what do they use? like do ya'll just share questions internally, is there a bristol tracker equivalent of sharing questions?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Fuck, I'm old  WallStreetOasis.com

+1 Good portco, efficient people  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Physical exercise (especially when intense and in the morning) helps clear brain fog for me. And forcing myself to wake up at a set time rather than sleeping in. apetrynamakeit
+1 Yes, 100%. There is a person on my team who did just that and he is crushing it. Director in CB
+1 All are solid solid tier 1 targets. In my view, I'd rank LBS, HEC, Bocconi as the top 3. LSE slightly below followed by Imperial. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yes they can be calls / zooms etc at the discretion of the person doing it, there’s quite a long lead time to review CVs Anon6
+1 C1 BA is not consulting. It’s a very interesting role but it is not consulting. It’s more of a data analytics role with applied outcomes. A few friends there love it but are in python for a lot of their day spencermax
+1 Thats a really good question from what I have seen senior bankers usually travel quite a bit, especially when they are managing client relationships or closing big deals but it really depends on the size of their coverage smithjohn1
+1 Read Michael Gatto’s. He’s got some good ones in it. jalee3
+1 In addition to what's said above, really depends on location and group. Someone covering financial services out of NYC will probably only have a handful of clients that aren't in NYC themselves. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 how did they find out who posted the thread? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 During november IB_Prospect
+1 Assuming you’re still a student, professionals are always willing to take you up on a coffee chat if you’re curious to learn more about them or their company. riskadj.return
+1 I appreciate that but this is on top of the standard annual performance cull. The_Fisher_Account
+1 bro is unemployed final boss thegoattypeshi
+1 GFBM. Met a lot of people who lateraled out of it. Incoming Analyst in S&T - Other
+1 Credit seems feasible. Commerical and CB would probably just depend on if you get placed on a team there in one of your rotations FT and express interest long term. Incoming Analyst in S&T - Other
+1 Most firms don’t hand out egregiously expensive Bloomberg licenses Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Would be helpful if you could answer here. I am interested to know more, as I am sure other are as well. It is an anonymous forum after all.  Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Hell yeah brother. StJamesPark
+1 A shared terminal is an option. It would be an extra computer but if the need for efficiency is actually there it would be affordable - particularly vs hiring another person. Ehmerica
+1 Thanks for doing this. Curious to hear your thoughts on OBBBA phasing out IRA era PTCs/ITCs and eventual shutdown of transfer markets. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 They’ve been recruiting VPs for Vantage more or less continuously for the last 3 years lol CEO in IB - Gen
+1 tied up in First Brands collapse Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Nah, wasn’t in the return offer email Good riddance… Intern in IB - Cov
+1 FactSet is honestly not great and has not gotten any better in the last 5-7 years... agree with the dinosaur comment. The refresh times are insane. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Bump would love any advice  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 We're looking for interns at Healthcare Capital Advisors (LMM, focused only on behavioral health). Message me if you're interested.  healthcarecapadvisors
+1 You do not need acquisitions-specific experience to buy your own deals, correct. You only need money.  CRE
+1 Fear the Beard CRE
+1 Agree with first response, there is major difference between true consumer and the more classic industrials/services/‘real business’ PE. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 I'd argue the job market has gotten progressively worse as time has gone by, so unfortunately it would be an even steeper hill to climb. Prospect in RE - Comm
+1 Can someone explain the Econs here ? How does it make sense even if you do a 50m equity check deal and 3x it you have a 100m cap gains you get 15m to split between probably 1-2 other guys for several years of work? Senior VP in PE - Other
+1 Applied to some BB/EB in late September from a US target school, but only received an assessment from Houlihan Lokey restructuring. No non-auto HireVue invitations yet, is there still a chance? Prospect in HF - EquityHedge
+1 bump Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 they pay a firm 50k to help them recruit and share questions among like call it its gotta be more than 300+ kids each year? great business for them Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 If AI busts will PF be messed up since data centers are a huge part of it? Pathaan
+1 The out crowd have no business being VP3 or ED3. They are culled at VP2 through a below average bonus and feedback. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 They may end up covering investor losses on Point Bonita, akin to what CS/ UBS ultimately ended up doing on Greensill. But even that should be manageable- ie 1bn total.  dlrulz
+1 I think it’s best you write down your mistakes , helps for sure as silly as it sounds. Investment Analyst in PE - Growth
+1 What are the biggest injustices folks have experienced on the job? Most of these environments are abusive to one degree or another and the idea of having to tolerate injustice to keep your job / move up resonates with me. KingCluny
+1 Sharp team that does very good work. Much smaller practice (maybe ~15 people) vs. other RX teams on the street but win many high profile mandates. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Deal Team SixThat's awesome, what a unique brain to study Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 Depends where you are located. In Canada, it is women (mostly white), while in US add in Hispanic and black men too. Banks for the large part are fixated to gender diversity. Hope this explains.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You forgot one very important part of the economics, which is lot of the best independent sponsors don’t have traditional IB/PE backgrounds but entrepreneurs with very specific sector expertise and therefore much more like pbandjpartners
+1 Barebones fiber optics can weigh as little as 27g/km. Mind you that’s like 0.15 lbs/mile.Electronic signal sent to drones are pretty simple so they’re very likely using bare bones cables.  pbandjpartners
+1 Ozymandia: PEarbitrage rf949
+1 Funny thing is you can actually model it looking at the similar way you’d look at NPV. Actually probably more complicated because value is multi dimensional. pbandjpartners
+1 12 mi is probably the maximum distance needed  for a soldier on the frontlines with skin in the game in destroying an enemy objective - either it kills him and/or his friends or he kills them.  pbandjpartners
+1 Thanks - I guess my current leaning is towards comp over lifestyle at this stage (2nd yr analyst). lunariss
+1 Gotta use the legacy one haha. The Pro is crap Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 In terms of the environment I’d go so far as to claim that Seoul >= HK > Tokyo.  pbandjpartners
+1 pbandjpartners m_1
+1 Sounds like you’re in heaven lol. Yeah sounds like you were able to build a great reputation. pbandjpartners
+1 115k is very low for assoc 1 unless your talking about mm or dubai based players. A_Gigloo
+1 Bro why is there an IRS PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Very different. At a megafund private credit fund like GIP, Carlyle, Blackstone, etc I would expect to be working 80+ hours/week w/ weekend work. Director in CB
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s a breakdown of your situation and the factors to consider: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 You will not know if you got referred until you get an interview invite. The only ppl that can gurantee interviews is MD explicitly telling us that this kid deserves a first round. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 That’s not why people hire bankers. That’s the job of the lawyers which are present in these raises  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 This is my general go to normally which is to break the ice such as like how your weekend was or any plans for the weekend, then going straight into my tmay and then ask them to give a background and their path to the firm wso warrior
+1 IB for Post MBA roles in Dubai is not really a thing. cabser
+1 To be honest, not too many Insead MIMs (although some do) go to London IBD (its more of a self selection thing). cabser
+1 Companies burning 10B a year don't want to spend more money on things they don't need.  usernameladiesman217
+1 Comp is better than traditional PE / Hybrid, it is literally the key architecture underlying Apollo at this point. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 lol Jeffries shill. Works at Goldman Sachs
+1 This has been very common in a lot of different industries and locations in the last 5 years, and why the wage and career premium for a big move (especially to a new firm) should be higher than people consider. cp5670
+1 No you don't need experience in acquisitions to start buying real estate. Would it be helpful? Sure, but definitely not a necessity. There are plenty of non-RE people who invest in real estate. Fred Fredburger
+1 you should think about it as the recurring operating cash flow the business generates. So you can start off at EBITDA or Revenue, it doesn’t matter, the result should be the same. 20buscar
+1 aaron8Regarding point #1, does the 20-30% premium include the bonus compared to the current gross (base+ bonus)? Colbert
+1 How would you say Success rates differ for internationals vs domestic students today? Analyst 1 in Consulting

+1 Thanks... We have some ideas to try and keep it going stronger. I agree there are some difficult trends around search, mostly driven by AI that make organic growth difficult... WallStreetOasis.com
+1 Can confirm this is false as I did the AC for an off cycle in London  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Veritas has a very sharp elbowed, military-like culture where hierarchy thrives - 5 days in-office with suits & ties on for guys. Dow70K
+1 Firstly, anything you have gotten dinged on in the past. Then a few more that come to mind: Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
