+1 comp is fairly street or slightly below street, better than bofa Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr
+1 I wouldn't do anything here, definitely don't mention in an interview, no one gives a shit if it was $500M or $700M especially if it's a number that you got off Pitchbook and you were just an intern. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Gym is a glorified hotel gym. Meal stipend of $35 after 7/8pm. Small “Starbucks” you have to pay for. Source: close friend works there Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 An upperclassman who got an offer last year said a week max for another round, and another week max for SPD. So not over yet and I would wait till the end of the week before begging hr.  badburi09
+1 don’t think that necessarily means they stopped hiring canadians or sponsoring…. exitgods
+1 I feel horrible for everyone who was just graduating with a top placement they worked so hard for just to have it rescinded. Wonder if this will last. Are the Queens and Ivey pipelines killed? roastedplantains
+1 nobody has officially been rescinded…rn it’s a bunch of fear but who even knows how this started exitgods

+1 If my FT offer gets pulled it might be time to hang myself, imagine the shit show full time recruiting would be. jatego3574b
+1 Elyon Dubai surprised me in the best way possible. I’ve tried multiple online perfume stores, but this one stands out because of its attention to detail. alimurtaza
+1 MIT does place into IB, but it’s usually less structured than Wharton and relies more on networking and individual effort. Vika-2005

+1 Where are all the middle market numbers? Baird? VP in IB-M&A
+1 I’m international we’ve been wrecked this year punpkins
+1 Even though you posted this a while ago, the legal distinction between a company policy and federal law is still a huge factor for immigrants in finance.  Hanlon
+1 Yeah the mean is definitely higher than 8% mate. Tyrant Lizard King
+1 haven't heard anything yet, incoming 26 DealGuy2005
+1 Interesting points. Wouldn't growth equity oriented investments fall under 'innovation'?  Or do you not consider that under the PE bucket? Business School in CorpStrat
+1 You need to also send cold emails to banks, ideally people who are alums from your school (at the Associate and above level).  BoutiqueAsc
+1 I think when most people refer to "PE" they are referring to LBO funds. Agree that growth equity is a different animal.  Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 IbpursuingguyHas anyone received a hirevue?  I heard target schools have gotten them already stlstep
+1 What’s your view on taking a role at one of the MF over a top BB for an analyst position? I’m curious, as the analyst training might not be as structured without a formal analyst class romeodp
+1 Greenhill reportedly rescinded offers? Can anyone confirm? Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Hearing similar things too. Unsure of what’s going on there tbh.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 JPM midwest_analyst
+1 Bro's trying to unlock the "Barred" emblem on his BrokerCheck account Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 40x income-rent is the recommended minimum/safety threshold. And that goes off gross/pretax numbers. A good budget is your rent not being over 1/3rd of your take home. Raijin
+1 edward56“Sellside” is not really a thing in RE Brokerage????? Papa_1128
+1 Can only speak from personal experience so unfortunately can't give you a comprehensive list of firms. Just a few initial things to think about when evaluating potential grindy shops: Average_Finance_Guy

+1 wdym bad culture, those guys go to gentlemen's clubs Monday to Friday? nooneinparticular
+1 Curious as well. Applied for ER and S&T. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 I second this. I ruined my GPA 1st sem by worrying about technicals for clubs and stuff, it was an upward battle for the next two semesters. Don’t be like me lol FleetingSpirit
+1 OP enlighten me because I see 80K median base at Emory, 100% employed; 75k avg at UIUC, 89% employed. As for the intangibles I've been researching the credentials the faculty at Emory have and I was very impressed. nepobaby2
+1 cvp menlo too high imo - have momentum and heard good culture, but would bump them down 1 maybe 2 tiers edit: beat me to it Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah if anything people who voted for Trump  would be happy at this news because there's more opportunity for them. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 VP here. I’ve interviewed hundreds of candidates. I actively ignore "valuation skills" on a freshman resume. It’s usually memorized nonsense that falls apart the second I ask a conceptual question. Gorilla Tim
+1 Thank you, that sounds like good advice for sure. jake_b290
+1 Not in RE, but I can tell you even in AM I do not think you should worry about your job being lost from AI if you have 5+yrs of experience.  hedgehog9
+1 DEI Beckie got offended LockedIn Bezos
+1 Firm: BB Role: Trading Title: VP YOE / YOE at firm: 8 / 8 Base: $240k 2025 bonus: $330k Very disappointed given desk + book performance ruvermillion
+1 PM threw a stapler at a monitor. Stapler gets stuck in the monitor. Monitor is left next to the fishbowl adjoining the bullpen as a warning to the analysts. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 All of the above is accurate from what I've heard about each firm. Something to keep in mind is that sticker shock on the "low" compensation is also relative to the COL. Senior VP in CorpDev
+1 How is wondering if you have a job a hardo response? Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Have found most outreach from good firms was from cold outreach to VP + Works at McKinsey
+1 Not really doing tech, more telecom/media. They are very good at what they're doing, definitely have some cool opportunities. Similar to Raine Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 The real question is: would you stay in banking if the MF offer didn’t exist? If the answer is no, then the pay cut is just the cost of switching tracks. huanlamunov
+1 idk man, just because I went to an Ivy doesn't mean we came from the same background as many of our white classmates/coworkers... Works at JPMorgan
+1 Regarding Evercore? Likely no. The messaging from the firm is to sit back and wait until H1-B results come out. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 nope as a rice alum. go to ut. the curriculum will prepare you much better and you'll place lights out compared to rice  fuku
+1 Are we cooked if we haven't heard for r1 yet? also does it come out in waves for school. top target + 4.0 + top HF soph summer + networked with entire recruiting team Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 This is actually the most fair and reasonable thing I've ever heard you say. I actually agree with you. I'm in a similar position but on the opposite side. anon1019
+1 Yeah the true answer is a little bit more nuanced, sure. It’s really over diagnosed. BoutiqueAsc
+1 Strong dealflow and great culture, recently poached from Jefferies Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 Deleted Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 calm the fuck down. you cant get like this when your pnl for the day is -20million. nothing is out yet. only barc, db, cibc, ms no_home_jerome
+1 Hard to say what the impact of this will be unfortunately. I assume the top outcomes will largely skew to the buyside (as they have been for the last couple of years) and the few boutiques that continue to sponsor. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Many funds will do a select set of interviews. Works at McKinsey
+1 Bump Fog8081

+1 Long story short : Master you should target : -LSE-LBS-HEC-HSG-Bocconi-ESCP-ESSEC Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Surprised by the pessimism here - for AN/AS at least seeing a ton of seats from LMM/UMM to MFs across equity and credit. Comp is strong too, at least the cash component. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 For those considering applying to London programs - This is not a joke. Someone in my AC for a summer at a BB had 2 MF PE summers and 2 EB off cycles. End result? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I would truly like my next job to be one like you describe and for it to be my last. Covid19Brah
+1 I had a 3.0, didn’t put it on my resume, was never asked about it, likely because my internship experience was so strong and because the way I got in the door, everywhere, was networking. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 Curious on how has PJT been growing Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 DB HC worst team in UK, terrible seniors and no deals. It destroyed many top analysts… REGL Infra Consumer TMT better but best teams at DB are LevFin, DL and DPG Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 If it’s clear the firm is hiring interns, then you don’t need to ask if they are hiring interns, instead say, I see you’re looking for interns or something to that effect. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 I would honestly try and skip HR and just get referred by the (likely) junior or mid level person you’re talking to directly to the department head / hiring manager. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 Citi SF consistently on large cap deals in 2025, seems like Rajkovic and Goel from JPM have revitalised that team. Senior VP in IB - Cov
+1 Entertainment industry economics setarcos
+1 OP, any luck? In a similar boat although different sector (no lead coverage) and half ur YOE. Associate 1 in ER
+1 Surely you could have written that yourself instead of copy pasting an AI response Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Exit opps I’ve seen are wealth management or sponsors group within the same bank Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 yes 10,000%. it is the only way i can lock in and actually do my work. i dont use it when i dont need to (no weekends + certain days where i have no work).  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 When are R1s/Superdays for NYC? IceCreamCake
+1 Teller in IAGood to see you can clear 500k as VP here. Feeling brutally underpaid vs CIB but maybe I'm being too optimistic Works at JPMorgan
