+1 Some internal contradictions in what you’re laying out but if you’re at the front of a line to LBO state owned assets that have a realistic chance of paying down debt and opportunities for improvements would absolutely jum elninomaravilla
+1 Does this really happen? LockedIn Bezos
+1 jarstar1Being a broker is a great job if you have good people skills, are willing to hustle, and are very risk-averse. Ozymandia
+1 Some have already happened from my knowledge Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Moral of the story - don't date coworkers for fun. The only possible reason is if you think they are true marriage material.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 I have spent my entire career working in and amongst working class people.  The collection of my family's companies employs nearly 4,500 people with the majority of them being working class by a traditional measure. PEarbitrage
+1 "pick the best strategy" as if I can't choose all last 4 and keep the first 2 as coercion lol GS under Blankfein
+1 If you want to return to the nordics go to SSE or a UK School. CBS is also great. Don't go to ESADE or FSFM has 0 network in the nordics... boib_1
+1 It's a complete lie when companies claim they can't find qualified Americans for analyst or associate roles and have to rely on H1B visas. paci

+1 Find peace and let them come to you dawg LBOnlyFans
+1 Shady operators  chromium73
+1 Everyone has their own philosophy of investing. Value investing is the idea of buying a strong company at a low price, because chances are, the broader community will realize the strength of the business. Intern in ER
+1 Are you from TX / plan to stay there? The exits outside of energy/TX are tough and have gotten more difficult as infra firms do less and less work in traditional O&G. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 when your company is in crisis engaging advisors is not optional so you're ready to pay whatever it takes to save it GS under Blankfein
+1 You gonna include the list? Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 I hope you find your roommate  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Yea it might've come across that way, and I guess that was partly the intention, bc looking at IB (take RX IB for ex), I've always been told / heard that they work like 90-100 hour weeks in order to get paid the amounts th Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Dude, look at the fees of A&M vs PJT/Houlihan/Evercore. A&M RX fees are nearly 10X every RX IB, and (being that banks run leaner) fees/person would still be 2-5X any of the top RX banks. rolo25
+1 First part of your comment is true, but for the second part, it's not just A&M that pays this type of comp. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Just quit quietly. Start working less and keep collecting your check till they force you out boringbusinessnerd
+1 thought this was for summer recruiting and i fell to my knees Prospect in IB-M&A

+1 hi, may i know what website is that? (can dm me just in case it gets deleted?) thank you very much! swkinfin
+1 How do you calculate or determine “stock strength”? kobeoffinance
+1 Bump - ‘25 has been a crazy yr w/ retail momentum & trump TACO trades…interested how ppl think of hedging and playing the mkt where fundamentals increasingly seem to matter less…. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Holy shit this is on page 2 let’s goooo  dukeblue2019
+1 The sermon continues. You didn't deny my statement - just that you are ignorant to what everyone already knows. PetEng
+1 don't ppl look at you different because of your experience which just makes really hard to transition?  large monkey456
+1 Not entirely sure about the exotics products. But for the trading desk, I would assume more on duration and convexity theory would be useful. monkeymonkie
+1 Maximize for your own happiness man. Life is too short to spend it all on chasing parents approval especially when you have seemingly found happiness at your school. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 i dont remember it being mandatory for consulting, many banks did ask though Intern in CorpStrat
+1 Keep in mind you typically get fucked on thing like prefs as the co raises more money…  All ancillary terms have extreme value and need to be thought through.  m_1
+1 Great question — this one hits the heart of how IB culture’s shifted over the years. wirkutskijkarl
+1 GS Exchanges, Norges Bank Investment Management, Financial Times as well SA_CorpBanking334
+1 hmm maybe they’re talking about shareholder loan repayment and dividend as forms of returning capital to shareholders. 20buscar
+1 Hahaha fair point I guess. I just directed all my time toward athletics and keeping my GPA up. Didn’t put any real effort into recruiting back then, which in hindsight was the mistake. CB Analyst
+1 If this is post Soviet privatization voucher scheme part deux sign me up…we’ll back you. You should provide the muscle too when wannabe Deripaska’s show up with their thugs Partner in PE - LBOs
+1 my bad - i'd copy what others said, a 1400+ should be fine. so many people went test optional also, so it doesn't matter too much Intern in CorpStrat
+1 F.A.G. Equity Partners hahahahaha Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 same as any othe  year every year when ppl are losing money they complain this year is unique and fundamentals don't matter and blah blah Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Yeah, you’ll see this in the utilities and producers space in gas. Tandem21
+1 I doubt your 2hr test will have DSCR det sizing. Transport typically has more traditional debt sizing (ND / EBITDA). You will probably have a multiple of GDP growth or smthn like that in your volume assumptions. skimask
+1 Honestly something similar happened to me in my sophomore year and I stopped drinking after that. Not exactly sure how it affects IB recruiting in anyway shape or form. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Have also heard they're managing out the existing portfolio, blessing spin-outs, and will just manage founder money in the future Assist. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Current 2nd year in understaffed sweatshop group with high turnover.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Thx. BB I assume? anonanonymous
+1 They are still conducting R1s, I have mine this week. I heard that it was 2 rounds, another case, and a behavioral. What were the case (types?, etc) Jmoney1225
+1 Made the rankings post last year as well as completed an MSF program myself. masterrofnone
+1 NYU STERN IS THE BEST Intern in IB - CB
+1 It hasn't been a new cycle to make you say that? Literally this post was based on the most latest cycle of people leaving/there being data. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Consulting is brought into any tenant rep deal over 20,000 SF. They are also the ‘agency group’ (Landlord rep group). Salary plus bonus structure. Think of it like working corporate - can still crush it but slower climb. pudding
+1 Yup NYC BB Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Unless you are an MD keep it to one page. Highlight 2-3 most important deals and you can use the rest as "tell me about a time when" talking points. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 6 months — lucky 12 months — standard 24 months — unlucky 0 months — California Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Tandem21: Yeah, you’ll see this in the utilities and producers space in gas. btechsway
+1 Yes. Look at greenlight’s results investor45
+1 Del Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 2) it could also be in Odyssey’s best interest to skew these results up so they can piss everyone off and encourage more turnover & recruitment Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Yes, recently good performance, but seems like a place that cares even less about their employees than the average MM. (High turnover, limited/no re-podding efforts, no training, relatively low base comp, etc.) Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Someone really enjoys getting up at 3-4am. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 how do u vet PMs / understand what tier they are in? are you able to ask for PnL #'s ? Intern in IB-M&A
+1 The transition is fine it, just your credit underwriting that needs to be a bit more nailed down because if you make too risky assumptions, you could burn a lot of your investor's money.  mclovin1225
+1 I'd say that in the restructuring world atleast, anyone who knows what / who PJT and Evercore are would know who A&M is. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 That seems like a normal amount if you are at a top BB. I have been invited to around 10 as well. Would caveat it will also depend on what you told HH's you are interested in. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Semi-common. A lot of people leave after a year to do something in the corporate world or startups or any other various jobs. Sucess will obviously vary based on person and their interests. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 There's no right answer to this because BB experiences vary wildly based on group. Some BB groups are chiller than others due to 1 of: seniors, deal flow, and nature of industry.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 bump Investment Analyst in IB - Gen
+1 Not a very helpful comment but I didn’t participate Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I’m sleeping in for sure. Fuck waking up anytime before 8am on a weekend unless you’re a wanker. My loser vp sends emails around 9am on saturdays. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Might be something wrong with your cold emails then, drop an anonymized sample and we can give you feedback Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 NYCChicago/LA Dallas/hou O&G everywhere else Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 Principal in PE above is inaccurate; Sr. Assoc comp is 220k base and 250-350k cash bonus (depending on performance). Carry kicks in at VP which is quite substantial (5-10mm DAW) Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Thank you for the chatgpt response! SA_CorpBanking334
+1 I did a superday for a non-IB front office role in HK and heard they hire 20% ish of superday candidates in the end. Assume it's similar for others. Piyg128
+1 The state of recruiting in the UK is evolving fast. kelvinmadris
+1 Fs being cultured is not wealth dependent. It helps tho haha RestIess
+1 If you’re looking for headhunters that frequently work with mid-market (MM) investment banks like Raymond James, William Blair, Arma Partners, Baird, or Houlihan Lokey, it’s best to connect with agencies that specialize in kelvinmadris
+1 After leaving a corporate role, I realized consulting was the only career where I could use both analytical and strategic skills daily. khan.mmua
+1 I left in 6 months to Corp Dev and do not regret it. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 If you’re thinking about re-recruiting after not getting a return offer, it’s definitely possible but you need a strong, intentional story show what you learned from your last internship, how you’ve grown technically and p lukemathew
+1 Super helpful, thanks! I think at this point, I would say that I've determined I would want to move out of consulting, so that would eliminate MBB/T2 firms as a potential next step. ConfrmFUT
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information in the dataset about Lazard's M&A group sponsoring international candidates. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Ah, I see your point. I was looking at risk in a different light. Being a broker is very risky from a personal cash-flow perspective. You eat what you kill and don't have the benefit of a stable salary. jarstar1
+1 fs am at LSE and will say that i know 5+ who converted after this lol Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Anyone who did their AC on the 28th? Any news? Shredbundy
+1 I second this quite a bit. Being in social settings repeatedly outside of a work setting where you're wearing an identity is huge. You can approach someone out of genuine curiousity rather than feigned interest.  FinnesseGod
+1 Right now, I am in a similar position myself (deciding between HEC MiM and LBS MFA). Could anyone provide any more insights? Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Not a sector, but I'd say crypto probably has the most alpha based on the nascent market dynamics, low regulation, and high information asymmetry. Determined
+1 Thanks for the insight, really appreciate it. globalglobalmacro
+1 That’s just you bro money.monkey
+1 For someone like myself who is currently 1 year into being an acquisitions analyst, if I ever want to make the switch is it better to go analyst on buy side to analyst on sell and work up to production? Investment Analyst in RE - Comm
+1 She hot? mrindecisive
+1 Thanks everyone for the insights. Appreciate all the perspectives. We do some higher risk deals at my shop, but I was just curious about how others have gone about getting more of that exposure Gaming Chair
+1 Sounds more like A2M Abusement Park
+1 this comment is applicable to every group besides levfin & ECM/DCM  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Also left almost a year and a half in to go to a startup, I think after the one year mark it’s chill to move. Anonymous Monkey
