+1 I've applied to Cargill and ADM but haven't heard back from them. To be completely candid I always thought of Physical Commodity training as a long shot. Substack_Guy
+1 I mean I'm not disagreeing, I think it is a great school and heavily underrated for finance, from Chase Coleman to Ole  Halvorsen and other HF founders, but they place WAYYY better than some T10s for GS and have peopl Intern in ER

+1 White bosses fire their non-white workers. History repeats itself Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 No they're not? Nobody doing a Phd is working 14 hour days modelling or building pitchbooks. He's lucky he got an offer at all. BananasIBMonkey
+1 dont troll bro we all know hes natty Legramos
+1 Yeah not relevant if it's not in finance, and even the finance internships are going to be discounted since they're internships. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Trumps $100k/year for H1Bs would end this shenanigans  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 what is the path to getting a job at one of the funds in tier 0.5 or tier 1? there doesnt seem to be much clarity online regarding this. obviously very hard but curious if there is a path Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Form says submitted in May and employment started in October, not sure if press release worthy though Associate 2 in IB - ECM
+1 I keep coming to wso for great posts like these. Invaluable lessons here liquidiot
+1 Not doable anymore - with the number of recents protests, BX shooting incident etc, you can't get past the security desk unless you have a scheduled meeting and are on their list.  Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Could be a non notable or location switch hire. Would check out given salary. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 I believe so. treppy
+1 There's a million posts on here on how to break into commodities. Forget the traditional bank recruiting timelines for IB/S&T you missed those and frankly there's better ways to break in. Mr. T
+1 This entire thread is pure racism and this was the comment you focused on? hahah and no i'm not indian/offended, just noticed this funny interaction Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 They're taking target kids first, nontargets maybe get something if we're lucky. No idea what timeline will look like though monkeyhaank
+1 Culture has been improving, hours depend on your seniors. I would say 80 hours average is pretty common for the biotech vertical. anonymous000001
+1 Of course I'm not an MD, who actually thinks they use this website?! I'm based in the UK, and have been working in IB for years. Managing Director in IB - Cov

+1 Mfs at McKinsey think they’re gonna get overtime bro JPM IB interns don’t get overtime and they work 90 hours a week. Mid tier BBs and some MMs give OT but I have never even heard of consulting firms getting OT  Intern in Consulting
+1 I think another factor that plays an important role is whether the EB has an “eat what you kill” senior comp structure. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 Look at the link it shows the dates Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 No. They're 2 different areas. Quant is really overused as a term. usernameladiesman217
+1 Not applicable for me since I'm studying at Europe in a business school, so there is just no "minor" degree. BesoinMi
+1 Honestly, you can definitely get through IB without relying on caffeine if that’s what you prefer. survivingbanking
+1 Sounds like something a socialist would say. pjm.priv
+1 This is a really solid point - caffeine doesn’t affect everyone the same way, and for people who are sensitive it can definitely trigger that adrenaline/flight-or-flight spiral you described. survivingbanking
+1 This is a really solid point - caffeine doesn’t affect everyone the same way, and for people who are sensitive it can definitely trigger that adrenaline/flight-or-flight spiral you described. survivingbanking
+1 Honestly the most common ones I see are caffeine (in every form), vitamin B, and electrolytes. A lot of people also experiment with nootropics, but it’s hit or miss whether they actually help or just add strain. survivingbanking
+1 you do a PF balance sheet with adjustments and that becomes your basis as the new B/S. honestly some firms (my old employer, MF) didnt do this and just used equity as plug for first yr to balance... Chimp127273
+1 It feels like a lot of my old friends have actually left ER. I could reach out to the ones that are still there, but most of them seem pretty unhappy/unsatisfied with their lives. millennialjobhopper
+1 Still at Uni, so probably not as qualified as some of the other people in this forum, but I am currently reading fooled by randomness and it is such a fun read, especially if you are interested in trading and statistics, b zrkweq312

+1 I've never seen those banks in an advisory or lending role in my career. Public finance is quite different than project finance. Director in CB
+1 Just gotta cope that this is the first ac and they send out a couple batches  Intern in S&T - FI
+1 Its been days and I still laugh every time I see a new update on this thread  Principal in HF - Event

+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, when it comes to luxury sheets and blankets that maximize rest quality, a few key points stand out: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 I feel like the rugged hair look will eventually become unpopular one day because it's trend, much like how perms or frosted tips aren't a thing anymore. Lacost
+1 i love you isaiah but ur garmin is not magnetizing the same quantity of big b00ty latinas a royal oak will gordoongeekoo
+1 You have to be intelligent to be in Long short equity but the most mathematically gifted individuals are dealing with derivatives on the underlying, exotic options, volatility, distressed, interest rates, etc. ApplesandOranges33
+1 I am incoming FT not incoming intern just fyi. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 There is a trend to offshore a lot of this. As noted above prop pods are much bigger than fundamental/macro pods and need a lot of SWE/ops staff, for whom US wages are 4-5x any other country. cp5670
+1 There’s enough headlines about bankers dropping dead at their desks to substantiate the claim that it really can be that bad for some groups. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+1 how we feeling 2 years out now? Given this trend does it make more sense to stay on sell side/multi-managers instead of LO AM?  Associate 2 in ER
+1 Anyone heard back from bp? Prospect in PropTrad
+1 We are cooked Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Do you enjoy the sector you're covering? Non-sexy industries can be really fun since it exercises a different set of analytical skills. Determined
+1 I went in thinking the same, worried I would break down, become traumatised, all the worst things. My experience turned out to be better than I had expected. FiloPastry
+1 Based on your experience with the big LOs, what portion of them come from MBA vs direct public equity buyside/sellside laterals? Associate 2 in ER
+1 Check WSJ today Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+1 You are right. I should get this stuff correct if I plan to make this concept work. surge-protector
+1 people have received offers monkey_boy373
+1 Depends on the type of content. If its educational and you don't bash on your employer / don't share proprietary information, it probably wouldn't have any effect. I could be wrong though. elguero
+1 all i know is rbc > tier olympus (gs, jeff, bmo m&m) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 mine is this wednesday Kitkatlover103
+1 That's a great read, would also really strongly recommend guns germs and steel. That one is good, although it has a lot of flaws. I would still recommend reading it while keeping in mind its flaws. usernameladiesman217

+1 Intern in IB apparently knows so much about the industry and what women in banking are like.  usernameladiesman217
+1 Def true. One of my best friends in college was an African woman who got into IB in a healthcare team. Super sweet, super funny. Got torn apart by the guys, got torn apart by the girls. She left after 6 months. usernameladiesman217
+1 Hi RXMonkeyGoo, You are right in the majority of infra bankers would come from either a big 4 valuation, modelling or infrastructure team, or alternatively as a commercial analyst from an infra business. Luke.F
+1 first rounds are done for structured, spin back in spring for ad hoc. godspeed on finals Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Yes exactly was just about to respond. it’s literally just a sponsor PnL model(no b/s and no cfs) , DD, and some QOE reports. Investment Analyst in IB - Gen
