+1 any update on their comp for an1 in fundamental? dog59
+1 It would appear investors-subsidizing-customers-to-drive-hyper-growth isn't a sustainable business model.  asmith_1
+1 The recruiter industry has really screwed this up. There are SO many freelance recruiters hunting for commissions and there are startups facilitating this activity like never before. dosmthabit198469
+1 on Monday so lets hope for the best i mean there are a few of us on this chain and idt anyone heard back so maybe they just havent sent out. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 The investment migration space is indeed gaining traction, particularly within private wealth management and family offices, though its perception varies depending on the region and the specific financial vertical. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Yikes, good catch. I thought it was P/E.  I was in VC so we did plenty of 35x sales but on the public side it's purely a question of how long public markets will remain irrational.  Determined
+1 In the same boat...  seveneightyfour
+1 Pick something with a moat that isn't money and go and run it down. Ideally its geographical or technical, but if it is just your intelligence/hustle to start that's ok too.  Principal in RE - Comm
+1 Go to BB Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Thats what im saying anonanonymous
+1 Pretty sure I saw your face and some details of your poor behaviour on a Billboard next to our BB's offices.  Tbf we were always  told to make an impression that lasts... anonanonymous
+1 Good answers in here just want to say don't look past it I've seen 1/5 of EBITDA churn all at once with one big customer, better to lose than have the uncertainty, one of those hindsight bias things Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Not sure. I honestly prefer listening to Brew Markets and the CNBC Half Time Report. CuriousGeorge1024
+1 I’m starting to see the appeal of skipping the whole IB/MBA grind (especially as I would have done it just to prove myself) and trying to join a smaller private firm that does what I eventually want to do myself. kunduka
+1 tbh I am not sure what desk I am fixated on, though I have a deep interest in global politics and events, which I want to leverage. figureditout
+1 jude law in the talented mr ripley Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 dang a lot of people here are being haters. Good for you, you got a nice lottery draw. If I were you I would learn and build affordable housing in markets where you can build cheap product in high AMI locations. westcoastq
+1 Unwritten rules of the game are that career switchers from outside firms tend to have most success into graduate or entry level roles. oil_quant
+1 Depends entirely city to city. NYC, Scottsdale, Miami favor men because of the male/female ratio Houston, Man Francisco favor women because of the male/female ratio Others in between Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I'm class of 2027, so I've been applying to intern roles for SA 2026 since January. Most of the people I know who want to go into IB or have a plan for post grad already have an internship. Substack_Guy
+1 gonna be rly tough. Stern is lauded as a target but its only a target if you're in clubs. also why would you think you were doing SWE if you went to stern lol Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 It's very odd for a non-compete for a junior level role. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 There’s been no postings or openings. Looks like boutiques are the only Option Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Was in the same boat but happily at a Top bank now after a lateral. It’s possible u will have to settle for breadcrumbs after the club kids take the best (e.g. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Great to hear. Glad that you're doing well and this gives me a lot of hope. Is there any way I could PM you and chat with you for ~10 min about your experience recruiting?  Investment Analyst in HF - RelVal

+1 Idt MM banks have LME? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Been investing for a while and posting on seeking alpha + VIC. Somebody liked one of my VIC posts and I talked with them, and they referred me to a friend who runs the HF I worked at. Investment Analyst in HF - RelVal
+1 Yeah its new this year, I won't say that I'm 100% sure but I did chat with someone from Nomura very recently chi_64
+1 Let’s see Human as an asset, we have carrying amount, future productivity and resale value. Let’s assume ACB as a basis for carrying amount. deleted since july 4th
+1 It’s information asymmetry. If the failure rate was disclosed the supply / demand would be a lot different for pod analyst jobs, and salaries would reflect the extremely high risk and high stress nature of the job. leejh
+1 Terrible group. Nobody wants to work there which is why they always have job openings RE Baboon Boi
+1 Which LMM are you at? KageSelly
+1 anonymousre Associate 1 - REPE
+1 Your email format is solid, so I wouldn't get discouraged there. With recruiting being busy, analysts are just getting flooded. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 What if we're striving for high class girls Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+1 To find Net Working Capital (NWC) as a percentage of sales, use this formula: ledgerlabs
+1 How would I know how it effects recrutiting when I am also recruiting at the same time? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 who in their right mind would want to stay at jeff for a third year (i did my sa at jeff and while rx group was decent culture all the cov/m&a bankers i interacted w/ were in hell) Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 Thanks for the post. I’ve learnt a lot already just by reading the comments. If I may tell you a bit about my background and maybe you could advise whether is good if I get into ER? phdiing
+1 book it instantly. if you're not getting interviews for buy-side, this is rlly simple. II won't change everything, but it shouldn't be tremendously difficult to get looks from MM at a decent team at a well known firm. chanos_101_l
+1 how is this not obvious? there is no consistent set of preferences that would lead a woman to chose a 20-25 year old man working in finance vs. a 25-30 year old man. it is a clearly irrational option. Works at Citadel Investment Group
+1 Nomura Consumer and FIG Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Feeling terrible. MBA grad from a non-target school, 11 years of prior work experience in financial services.  Being an international, I had to work very hard for my first-ever IB superday yesterday. prudhvidasari1
+1 How is this metric relevant here? Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 If you’re good it’ll come out naturally during interviews. There’s something to be said about just knowing a sector and business model, alongside starting to understand how a few stocks trade and what matters.   Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Money isn't everything, especially when you've probably made in the 9 figures over your career to date. Ozymandia
+1 it generally does signal that you are through. I haven't heard of any firm running parallel background checks for multiple candidates, although I technically guess they could. Director in IB - Gen
+1 Makes sense. I just dont want to count the eggs before they hatch. The_honorable_JP
+1 Break into CRE has two different Waterfall-related classes that are helpful for the basics, I have not tried ACRE yet but have heard great things about their classes as well.  Agent0
+1 It all comes down to networking. You need to meet as many developers as you can and express your interest.  CRE
+1 Have you ever been to Miami? It's pretty sweet. The fishing is amazing all year round, people are prettier/healthier/more laid back, you can get a 26' boat for a decent price and enjoy it 365 days a year. kiltedlowlander
+1 You need to do some investigative work when you speak with the recuruiter to start with.  Bizdev and strategy roles are super common fake jobs that companies put up to give the appearence of growth. PEarbitrage
+1 Just another historically PE focused firm, who's best PE days are behind them and are now in (Clearlake has been in this for years anyways) asset gathering mode to attempt to make their FRE as high has possible. Works at The Family Office
+1 Yes to an extent on the margins. There are all kinds of factors playing into the price of housing but if the demand for housing drops, the price should decline all other things equal. NoEquityResearch
+1 Any buyside role would be a step in the right direction: acquisitions at a lifeco, REIT, or REPE firm (doesn’t have to be large). Asset management, even. It would allow you to get ownership experience.  CRE
+1 No money, no honey. RestIess
+1 CREThat still doesn't mean we need our 10th thread about the mayor of New York, who hasn't even taken office yet.  NoEquityResearch
+1 Thank you for the reply! Sounds like you were in a similar position to me - although 2008 might have been just a bit worse than the current climate. I definitely hear you on the multifaceted nature of development. Prospect in RE - Comm
+1 So you don't believe in demand curves. Is that correct? NoEquityResearch
+1 It do be, but inconsistent methodologies plucked out of thin air mimicking academic finance stuff is even more so. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 NoEquityResearchLast question for you.If you raise tax on wealthy New Yorkers by 10%, do you think anyone will leave?What about by 50%? CRE
+1 You ever notice how the big names on Wall Street don’t really show up anymore? The “Managing Directors” are just names on emails, profiles, and press releases but no one’s seen them at the office in years. WeatherController
+1 you need actual deal experience. Only way to do it is to go work for an affordable developer and learn the ropes.  westcoastq
+1 No clubs didn't get into any 2 years in a row Placed in top 4 TMT group at the time, arguably better placement than presidents of FS and QFS at that same time. GoldenParaTrooper
+1 Brother just get water dibbokhan
+1 100% true, at least in the NYC scene - fuck these recruiters man. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Alright. As of right now I have accepted the credit analyst offer and I am going to a final round interview at the trading firm. figureditout
+1 incoming FT analyst moving to nyc after i graduate undergrad next may, do u think i should just focus on work instead of women until after the 2 yrs?  Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+1 3.6 for 1 semester is nothing. Stay above a 3.5 average and you'll still get looks. If you're going for JPM you'll need closer to a 3.9 average, but 1 bad semester isn't going to kill you. You're not fucked. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Why is everyone blaming the immigrants when it’s clearly AI projections and c suite expecting to do more with less headcount? Look at Amazon and Verizon. Did tens of thousands of H1Bs enter the system? premia
+1 Highly unlikely it’s visible. People have arm sleeves and various tattoos, but no one has a clue since it’s covered by your attire and can always be covered by your attire. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Very familiar with the firm. Best groups in terms of exits in NA is Rx, CF, and PEPI. As other users have mentioned, PEPI will likely be more ops focused but have seen some exits to investment teams. Investment Analyst in AM - FI
+1 I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is. TechBanking
+1 If it's good enough for Homelander... Angus Macgyver
+1 Most students who do a masters in the UK are doing it so that they can re-recruit for internships and grad roles. ldnchimp
+1 get a decaf and suck it up Mike_wacczowski76
+1 someone get this dude on subway takes Mike_wacczowski76
+1 A pod is multiple coverage teams. No different compared to everyone else except analysts get staffed by three different teams  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Can confirm, know a couple of analysts who crossed the $310k mark on good / very good years, at traditionally well utilized offices Associate 3 in HF - Event
+1 Some of the specific cases you provided don't quite match with what you are saying about them, but the underlying point is a good one. jl12
+1 Sonny LoSpecchio CRE
+1 If it’s a pure M&A role, you’re likely fine because you already learned how to do deals in PE. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Don’t forget to account for deployment. Funds rarely get to 100% deployment which is what the DAW assumes SaaSmaster
+1 MM in NYC IB Wannabe
+1 Analyst 2 in IB - Cov CRE
+1 Similar, both pretty weak and on relative decline. Would take all the EBs and BBs over them in both US/EMEA. VP in IB - Cov
+1 Prob a 3 statement tbh. Maybe a DCF. KageSelly
+1 "Im tryna Gatekeep high culture using a quote from an F.Scott Fitzgerald" quote. Is that the same america that has "all men are created equal" in its literal declaration of independence? RestIess
+1 Get in the best shape of your life now / go to the gym 6 days a week. You’ll thank yourself two years from now KageSelly
+1 extremely sharp investors and overall well respected shop in the DMV. would take an acq/am role there over most in a heartbeat.  Investment Analyst in RE - Other
+1 Btw you cant be "inherently cultured". That sentence alone suggests you miss the point of what being cultured means. Show me a "inherently cultured" 5 year old. Thx. RestIess
+1 you're probably not going to break into the FT PE analyst program but top banks are still open to you. ppl know MFs have low RO  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Lol elite username  LBOnlyFans
+1 No one drug tests these days so you’ll be fine. Just smoke during times that you know you won’t get work. Working high will likely make you scared and make a bunch of mistakes OhMy
+1 If you really want to to market facing role, take RBC without hesitation. AM is a completely different area, especially ur division, it has close to 0 relation with financial market. qualea
+1 Bump  hdigdjdhgdd
+1 There were deals happening under Lina Khan just not as many “blockbuster” deals  Barbanzo Analyst Warrior Type 2
+1 you sumed it up perfectly. I think this thread has a habit of worshipping PE CEOS/MDs/Partners while at the same time they can't afford their rent and live paycheck to paycheck. ChompCHOMPS 39819
