+1 Owning POS doesn't equate to throughput efficiency of the kitchen. I don't necessarily see how it makes it better. TechBanking
+1 Agreed. We sell newly constructed fully leased apartments, the same group of 15-20 buyers will be making the same bid regardless of we pick to list the property. bigbob123
+1 Email a week ago, alr got the hotel set up poopsicle
+1 Depends on the shop, but that is the general range, 3-12 months. MMPM
+1 The FIG team is solid. Rest of the bank is sort of sad. Tons of turnover due to below market comp and sub par deal flow. GoodAsGoldman
+1 This^ and have heard of similar things happening there previously. Plus its full of bottom bucket talent lollololol
+1 Anonymous Monkey: do you think their FIG team is as good as the other mm banks w/ decent fig practices? like piper/stifel/hl GoodAsGoldman
+1 Not sure who focuses on AI-specific hardtech. I'd look at Matter Ventures, Playground Ventures, and, NVentures to name a few. Probably going to be hard to hire from them. Determined
+1 Top groups are historically HC (specifically MedTech) and FIG (Sandler), Tech (DBO) and Chemicals (Valence). I also hear Consumer is good but less familiar. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Depends on strategy, but for equity L/S for a first time analyst 12 months is on the high end but not unusual.  PM in HF - Other
+1 if you cant get a PE role out of uchicago, its on you, my friend. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Developing for sale introduces a totally different risk profile. Profits are usually only realized once a significant majority of homes are sold, which makes market timing critical. westcoastq
+1 400 questions takes like 2 weeks to learn if you've taken accounting/finance classes or eill by soph year (recommend trying to get those by soph fall as they're helpful for recruiting). Associate 3 in IB-M&A
