+1 And don't forget PornHub! pjm.priv
+1 Very interested as well Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Director in IB - GenFIG_Newton TechBanking
+1 They do 1 deal a year and live off that  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Hard to find acquisitions that made sense in 2021 and 2022. We had a few development deals we were working on in those years that died on the vine when interest rates really started to move, but nothing to buy. CRESF
+1 They do a lot of section 363 advisory. Buying/selling assets of O&G companies in bankruptcy.  Associate 1 in IB - CB
+1 A buddy that recently left BofA told me they have lost pretty much all their talent across group from craptastic pay. Analyst 3+ in Private Credit
+1 bofa EGRC is paradise Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 Biggest cope. Stay in your cave then. Matchabee
+1 I just followed my interests and curiosity...read a lot and talked to people. I had 7 years of experience when I left the industry. VP in PE - Growth
+1 Have heard both takes - to enter PE a weapon by grinding in banking, or to enter PE refreshed by coasting in banking. Thoughts? TurnMyPages
+1 Yes Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 I came across some interesting thoughts on appreciating art, as in Paintings etc. RestIess
+1 You're likely too Junior but it's 1 or more of the names OP mentioned Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Lazard is utterly irrelevant and only survives off its legacy EB name. JPM is very strong. The best BB. Also has the tallest building in Houston. Probably has the best top to bottom exits. AnonMonkey1738
+1 . ContangoMan
+1 It’s definitely okay to reach out, but with a bit of tact and context. In-house HR professionals are usually open to connecting, especially if your message is polite, concise, and relevant. kelvinmadris
+1 Do we think all the superdays are done? Weird no one has heard yet ps1202
+1 Georgetown, and Cornell, 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 scho Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Not cooked at all. You should get your Numbers if you’re not getting enough responses, up to 100-150 per week still wouldn’t be too much but obviously ensure you’re also a well rounded candidate  Interest_84
+1 I grinded through my interview (which TBF was only a few months before my start date) and then coasted. Came into PE slightly rusty but think I caught back up quickly. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 slow asf day so heres the m&a league tables i think hes referring to  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 So, I really like the concept of "learn by doing it". In some MMHFs, analyst can run a paper book so PMs and business heads can better quantify their skills and idea generation. surge-protector
+1 jarstar1 Ozymandia
+1 Look, it's not going to be 0 analysts. Nor will it be the 100% there are now. At the very least the rate of hiring will slow and long term the industry will have 50% of the analysts it used to or some equivalent. hedgehog9
+1 One of the top groups, will be a technical process. Have a strong why RX, study restructuringinterviews.com, and know a deal that the group has worked on in the past year Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 hedgehog9 Ozymandia
+1 3 operators I spoke to already had layoffs of office staff (2-3 employees each) in preparation. Ozymandia
+1 Thanks all for your honest replies! kunduka
+1 Appreciate the comment. I actually think about that a lot. It’s definitely a valid point and something I’ve discussed with family as well. kunduka
+1 I didn’t know that, thank you for that insight. I’ll definitely try to find a role in NYC after graduation and start getting hands-on market experience. kunduka
+1 Interesting seeing the more 'established' boutiques losing market share (Lazard, Roths, HL) with the 'newer' ones gaining (EVR, CV, Moelis) VP in IB - Cov
+1 Virtual is the way to go, especially if candidates have heavily networked across the firm. In-person seems unnecessary for both parties and quite costly. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 whay are you talking about theres ECM books at all funds thats what OP is asking about   Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 It’s not hard to raise a “record RE secondary fund” RE secondary funds have only been around for a few years VP in PE - Other
+1 Depends on your experience. Are you in a front-office investing seat? If so, that will make a switch a lot easier, especially if you have some exposure to credit investments. arw444
+1 Top 5 bait all time wso anonanonymous
+1 Can confirm this is fake Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 You are not cooked at all; there is plenty of time left. I would be shooting to send around 50 emails a week at this stage. It's important that you also network with a wide variety of banks. FinanceWhiz12
+1 Banks lost two MDs in three months, one senior MD left last week for a competitor who covered mid cap banks  jamesjohnson123
+1 I can take it Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Amen. Although many people can pursue 'cultured' pursuits without money in contrast to other people of a similar low monetary standing who choose not to.  RestIess
+1 If it was supposed to always only consider replacing one teeny tiny aspect of an analyst’s workflow why would you beg the question if AI will be able to replace analysts? liquidiot
+1 Lincoln recently on a $9.25B deal. Damn modafman1
+1 Think you can be a strong upper middle bucket performer and then coast the last few months / take as long of a break as both jobs will let you Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Pulled the plug 8 months ago, applied to some VC research opportunities (force of habit), and finally locked in on marketing LDPs & fellowships because it’s what I wanted before early recruiting. dab1
+1 malcaltent setarcos
+1 Correct way is to take vesting, NPV the amount with an appropriate discount rate (c.15%), use sensible MOIC & carry payout timing assumptions, add an illiquidity discount, and adjust for expected probability of payout Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 GS Industrials Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Yes but per LSEG fee composition, some >10bn deals Wells done this year, they were either the exclusive advisor or 1 out of the 2 advisors. VP in IB - Restr
+1 Got an offer this week as a CIB analyst to a MM. There’s hope dino777
+1 I don't see any harm.  But probably would do that on the second email once you've got a response. andrevc
+1 Agree with that.  The mere fact of being a candidate / studying towards L1 counts for something.  andrevc
+1 Like 7ish. Granted things basically froze after the tariffs were announced Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Agree with the comment above  As far as signals for competence go it is: First_Lien_Larry
+1 The one who moved to MS wasn't involved in UMBF deal. Personally I think he's far from being the best MD but anyways. Also the VP who left will join private credit, not PE.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 u forgot to go anon when replying to yourself Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Of all the groups I've networked with, I've found GS to be the chiller set of groups compared to JPM or MS in London.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Tone it down with the ChatGPT please Dev_WanaBe
+1 So firms are allowed to hire and fire at a second's notice but a student can't do the same? bulgebracketmonkeyintern
+1 Yeah think you will still get a hefty recruiting discount there  Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Personal preference.  RX IBD and Distressed PE have insanely long work hours on average, and as I mentioned earlier, some of the top RX MDs and Distressed PE Partners have difficult personalities. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 you need to tell us the bank now because we have 500 votes  Works at Citadel Investment Group
+1 I think this is broadly right, but I would quibble with using a 15% discount rate if you’re already baking in a probability adjustment on MOIC, clawback, etc. overandout
+1 I think you underrate the resourcefulness of the kid that goes to Harvard et al. Research Associate in AM - FI
+1 In what way was the Harvard person unimpressive? CuriousGeorge1024
+1 @CRE  I've been fol commercialrainmaker
+1 Notes being comically identical, questions on calls being 95% GPT. It's sad but also a call to be more human. Biotech_Tears
+1 I did AlphaSights to sellside ER in nyc. It’s a really tough transition and I was lucky to get a shot. If buy-side is your end all be all ER / IB is definitely the more routine path. chickenking3
+1 In my opinion there is a strong misunderstanding and misconception around non compete. optiver_guy
+1 it could be negatively perceived, but luckily for you office clothing is pants+shirt rather than shorts+tshirt, so no one will see your arms and legs Kevin25
+1 GS/JP/MS are better banks but I can confirm first hand that good BofA VPs >>> JPM bum VPs.  Director in IB - Gen
+1 I would not recommend this unless you get into Harvard or Penn and do a JD/MBA on scholarship, and also don’t mind doing nothing tangible for three years to provide you with any hard skills, and unless you’d somehow enjoy Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 1.5y > corp dev > consulting  anonymnous
+1 Some BBs sponsor in HK but 95% of non-local students from outside HK are Mandarin speakers. Recruiting is a little bit later than the US as well. Piyg128
+1 Thank you for your feedback. Do you have any idea of packages at these funds, especially for VP / Investment Manager level? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Absolutely—and if you’re not sure about S&T long term, that makes the BB offer even more valuable. You’ll get real exposure to how desks operate and whether the day-to-day suits you. DerivativesRiskEducation
+1 Funny for a firm that preaches about their Minnesota culture Prospect in HF - Macro
+1 if you think bmo mining doesn’t work on stat holidays you’re in for a rude awakening  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 That’s fair. I wanted the same thing when I was in my early 20s vs. working for a family business.  CRE Credit
+1 You didn’t reciprocate but a lot of ambitious ones do especially in a tough environment even a little flirting will give them a leg up over their peers if the MD happens to be their line manager. Director in IB - Cov
+1 I was in ER at a top shop, went buyside, and am now in buyside IR (at the same shop). I had zero luck recruiting externally. Pretty happy with the move... Associate 2 in ER
+1 Stay strong brother, you have a stronger work ethic than all the other candidates for these other roles. LBOnlyFans
+1 Lemme watch Atriocs latest video and give my opinion in 15 minutes Gold-ManSacks
+1 Startup funds / spins Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 MS Industrials anonanonymous
+1 start with 'no brown in town' LRD4
+1 Not a lawyer, but definitely not market and likely not enforceable unless tied to carry docs Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 JP M&C and Energy Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 $30-50K for 6 months sounds steep... but I guess if you have the financial means - why not. OP I'm on wits end in my current job in consulting. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 I think a lot of people are completely attached to NYC more than just a lunch item like a hamburger.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 I see a lot of the critique against ESCP being in regards to its price/value. I'm an international student and basicallly every option has the same tuition fees. HambatukAm
+1 Some people are a huge fan of the All In Podcast CuriousGeorge1024
+1 yeah, realistically, as in all of life there are pros and cons and you just have to choose what you want. NY does provide a better experience with food, bars, etc no doubt, but at a high price point. monkey_money_000
+1 Not really, that’s exactly what I was hoping to hear. I just wanted to know whether RX is highly firm dependent or whether I can get a good experience regardless of the firm. jimmyjohns713
+1 Hot traffic>>> stinky subway..  own apartment>>>>roommates.. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 better than the coke bros evilkitty
+1 Pretty sure no. Path is B school then re-recruit for seat. monkeyanon
+1 any update on their comp for an1 in fundamental? dog59
