+1 Seems to me you’re prestige hunting, if you don’t find most careers impressive that roll out of IBA. To me it screams your consideration would be high finance or consulting. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 davidrobertmubarak PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 hard times make strong man GS under Blankfein
+1 Just send more emails. If you're really dedicated, just take extra time to draft more emails and send them all over the U.S. - if someone responds, prep well for the chat i.e. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 starting a fragrance business. way better industry. probably the best sector to be in right now. its exploding with money  StabilizedYOC
+1 EhmericaHowever, this is likely a natural progression in life.  It isn't. Ozymandia
+1 If your goal is commodity trading specifically, TDP is usually the faster track to those desks, with structured exposure and mentoring. harrie1
+1 Can I be there when your PM gets your email please Principal in HF - Event
+1 Most BBs offer OT. Some like Wells pays 1.5x while others only pay 0.5x (most) Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I have seen a healthy number of "missing middle" (duplexes, quads, row homes, etc) new development pencil in solidly middle-tier cities. jl12
+1 Yea I got the same thing for nyc, I think it’s legit arnavraghuvanshi
+1 Intellectual honesty and humbleness in constantly testing your thesis is probably more important than being the smartest guy in the room as an analyst at a HF. Seems like you have some of those traits already.  tiger_rawring
+1 This is way below market, even for a T2 city. IR Assoc are typically 250-400k+ all in, depending on AUM and location. IRdouche
+1 Very capital intensive business from a marketing perspective. Needs millions to make a dent and it’s a very saturated industry with many billionaires.  StabilizedYOC
+1 So If I received the pre-offer questionnaire, have I more than likely got an offer? siwel_111
+1 @John.Newton and @ Milkyway - how many of these have you seen trade, because I don't think this is accurate. Has a B2R community ever traded sub 5? I see them 5-6%. Exec VP in RE - Other
+1 All I know is that I interviewed a lateral that quit Dyal without anything lined up because it was so brutal oulixeus
+1 Wern't they out and closed already? wetlamplord

+1 From a US jobs perspective, I agree Vandy would do well then. hutcointraders
+1 Still haven’t heard back let me know if you do. Also had a FR last week Prospect in Non-profit
+1 Thank you Intern  Principal in HF - Event
+1 One more addition that may help - think about it as “purchase price” and “cash to sellers” are not synonymous in a S&U unless there is no existing debt or cash on a business. SaaSChimp
+1 I read something online a while back that made a lot of sense: "Annoyance is the price of community"  Anonymous Monkey
+1 No way it’s 400k after 2 years banking lol. I’ve seen anywhere from 150+50-100 on the lower end of your range. Maybe more if they’re buying out your bonus.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Lol dude you are a sophomore nobody cares what you think. You dont own the club nor do u own the school. What even is your issue? Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Check pm ibprospective20011002
+1 Valid criticisms of IB and as someone 2 years in certainly agree to some of these points. Sharing a couple of thoughts below (as someone contemplating their next moves as well): Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 100% true. SOFRsoGood
+1 Before any of that, you need to figure out what the bar is, which is even harder. MMPM
+1 Ideas are worthless, execution is everything. What is your goal here? Are you trying to do this yourself? Determined
+1 Most definitely, best of luck! I haven't heard of anyone who received that not getting an offer, and I can't understand why they would want you to be any more anxious about whether you got one or not lmao. Bud Fox 22
+1 No literally - When I get an offer regardless of industry I’m sending you a dm lmfao I think you’ve commented on all of posts Bud Fox 22
+1 AI Ass post Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+1 No idea, I’m a junior in college bro. But idk look at Dan Sundheim - he got a job at Viking back in the day by posting pitches on VIC while he was waiting for comments. Prospect in HF - EquityHedge
+1 congrats on Wells Charlotte Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I have seen 400k with 4YoE in IR often enough to say its not an outlier, but it is the high end of the range. 150+50 is squarely below market  IRdouche
+1 I would rank your schools like this. Target: Northwestern/DukeCornell and then Georgetown/Umich (in no particular order) Semi Target: Vanderbilt/Emory (in no particular order) David Constabile
+1 (1) Your hit rate will be much higher if you EA/ED. I'd really think about your decision for that Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Firstly - Know what to pitch...Don't pitch some healthcare bullshit if the fund primarily invests in tech. Pitch a tech stock. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Associate 1 in PE - Other David Constabile
+1 trinity475 David Constabile
+1 trinity475it got removed again bro lmfaoooo David Constabile
+1 Definitely thinking about the firms where I’d hopefully do more sourcing / excuting and less portco work. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 You know more than me here was just commenting from what top analysts / associates seem to be willing to leave industry for and other job postings I see for people with 5 YOE and from IB/PE background Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 I just introduced a couple friends who swore Gangsta Rap was dirty to Jimmy Buffett's song "Why don't we get drunk and screw." Whatever1984
+1 trinity475ok thanks so much also i was thinking of other t20s like ucla, cmu, washu, rice, notre dame- what re ur thoughts on these David Constabile
+1 Definitely, not all BTR is equal by any stretch. And while lease-up timelines are longer—and I’m sure you know this—they begin sooner, which significantly lowers your reserves. john.newton121
+1 Rod Wong has been around for a long time and his firm seems quite institutional  Anonymous Monkey
+1 Concept one old and told. Market is oversaturated. Been around for a decade - but taken off the last 2 years with improvement of AI. shbe
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 ignore title... did 2 years at a BB in NYC and eventually exited to a corp dev/strategy role at a midcap company, which I have been at for the last 7ish years. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Recently heard JPM set up and IBD team in Manhattan Beach, if that is true, sounds like a pretty sweet gig. Definitely wasn’t an option when I was an analyst.  Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 Hey mate, great to see an Aussie thread on here! wagsbillions
+1 Depends in the region. For London, Insead / LBS (and US M7) are considered super targets and MBA recruiting is exclusively at this level for MBA. cabser
+1 The AC will be during November I was told during the zoom call IB_Prospect
+1 To move up faster in finance, adopting effective daily habits, routines, and learning practices is crucial. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some actionable tips: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Little to no client work for rx is not accurate, depending on firm and side of the deal you could be speaking with management/investors (and other professionals) on daily basis.  Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 Ah okay, assuming half an hour break between each new group of people that is probs 4 groups x 15 people so 60 in total.  Add another superday on Thursday (mentioned below) 2 days after us so 120 minimum in total. qsa49lcbx
+1 Would appreciate someone to humour me with my argument. How could this just now become a thing? Haven’t systematic trading strategies already proven their place? [email protected]
+1 BIWS course on FIG is good! studied it for an analyst process in a BB covering LatAm and got elected. Materials were useful Associate 1 in CorpStrat
+1 you choose a general product and they choose the desks for you no_home_jerome
+1 Big kudos to you for sensing the ex-boss’ bull shit and going with your own judgment. Very few hiring managers would do this and it needs to be used more. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 Those have very different mandates / focuses. In addition, you can look at them all you want but candidly, they rarely hire juniors + you need a great background for it. A BOND vs. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 That is true, but that isn't the topic of conversation here.  The OP is talking about stealing trade secrets and intellectual IP. PEarbitrage
+1 From my perspective it's slow, at least compared to earlier in the year. Been looking at the sr associate level for about a month in NYC. Pretty solid network / connected with a good number of HHs. Bubblecuffer97
+1 I just got one today Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Wait until the first month or so of the internship is done AnInvestmentBanker
+1 similar boat. spent some time in an event driven/special sits/ vol arb role. trying to move into a rates or pure L/S role marcrich1934
+1 The fact this thing is so messily written and he's the first reply to his own post on a 2 day old account - it's bait guys.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 as someone who did ft26 and got an offer, i did this. i def agree with waiting until your internship starts before reaching out. purplepanther
+1 I did this exact thing last year. I agree with the above that two weeks is fine if you spend a couple of hours a day prepping (probably less is fine tbh). Summer Associate in Consulting
+1 you can always go to LO from EB and even MBB if you show your interest in stocks, but hard to the opposite switch Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Spending 2-3 hours scanning news every morning can indeed feel inefficient. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some strategies to streamline your workflow and focus more on analysis: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 No lateral hiring for us - new pipeline slow but consistent. I think lateral market is really hard unless at highest level or high turnover shop like MS wallstreetmemes
+1 When you're drowning in information, prioritization is key. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's how you can streamline your process: Earnings Call Transcripts: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Investing in crypto would be a good choice, crypto is undoubtedly the future of money, I was down few months ago because I was confused at where and how to make money online, my friend introduced me to crypto and I have ne katebowden
+1 cut Intern in HF - RelVal
+1 Yes, but those are a completely different set of actors. What the OP is talking about here as I perviously said are cases of industrial espionage. PEarbitrage
+1 Please tell me that you are verifying the expenses make sense from any/all the sources you listed above? DisgruntledAppraiser
+1 I’ve seen that structure used, but it’s not super common at the fund level — more often at the deal or project level where the manager is directly sourcing and managing debt. Hanlon
+1 That’s definitely on the intense side for an entry-level role. A few-hour modeling test is normal, but a full-day session with real data and no break is a bit much. Hanlon
+1 Sounds like major overkill for an entry level position to me. Even for an experienced candidate, that is a bit on the heavy side for in-person IMO. But I also sit in the camp that people go overboard with excel tests. JerryOfTheDay
+1 Been in PE for 7 years and having thoughts about leaving the industry, timely to read, really hit home.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Anyone know if they are doing more AC's? Epok

+1 terrible hiring market to be a beggar  Horatio Horatio
+1 Hey, may I ask when did you have your 1st round interview and how long did it take to get the AC? 123123321123
+1 Churn and burn baby!! Name of the game. Personally I love it (work at one of the firms you listed) but deal flow can really get the best of people, in a bad way. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 I thought it was obvious it’s Boeing Analyst 3+ in HF - Other
+1 I've worked with analysts that went into armed forces and then did college or MBA for officers. The age can work. Your biggest question is while your wife says she will support it, will she really? TechBanking
+1 REIS (now part of Moody’s Analytics) also has sales comps with cap rates, but the cap rate that you are getting out of any of these sources is going to be of limited value if you don’t know what assumptions went in to the rafiki
+1 Hey mate! Really appreciate the thread considering aus posts aren’t very common and I’m currently still in first year of my undergrad (major in acc+finance). Had a few questions surrounding a couple things, zhu1
+1 Middle management at my current firm is notoriously clogged, and I know that there is no way that anyone in my Analyst class will make it to MD.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Cornell and Georgetown take lots of transfer students from community colleges, as well as offer some of the best financial aid in the country for low-income students; I have seen some insane hustlers from both schools, man Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 We used to have an analyst in his mid 30's. It's very team and geography dependent. In Houston, I don't think anyone really cared. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 ya upcomingtrader
+1 Likely cooked in my opinion LiquidER
+1 Hey mate hope you're well.  Currently in my recruiting year for IB and made it to quite a few final rounds at a few BB names but unfortunately missed out every time.  Lfi
