+1 These days fees charged to portcos get offset against the mgmt fee lot of the time  Works at Goldman Sachs
+1 The bump was announced today, it was $250 prior to today Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 5+ YOE, 3+ buyside, event driven SM. TC $415k. Decent fund performance and above avg team performance. >$500m AUM per IP. Thought # was fair to low ish, but feeling underpaid after seeing thread Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Pen and paper method is underrated—spend the time to work out the flow of the fundamental questions on paper, after that curveballs and different scenarios make a lot more sense on the fly Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Absolutely, feel free to PM/DM me, happy to give my two cents. The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
+1 Only go to PE if you want to work as a professional investor. If that isn’t interesting or exciting to you, then stay put. The marginal difference in comp (other than outlier carry situations) is likely minimal. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 absolutely crazy that you are making about the same as some bofa ib assos while working less than 40 hrs Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 berkeley? macromonkey001
+1 Depends on the bank. DB LevFin is probably their strongest group for exits, and does really well in credit exits and leauge tables. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I don't think capital market groups at even GS should be put above the top groups at the mid-tier BB's at least from an exits perspective. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Not advice but I did something similar and didn’t say anything until after my summer ended once I had the return offer and made a good impression. Didn’t want to jeopardize the chance I had before it started. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Im pretty confident the reason banks require SA to be students after the internship is for tax-purposes. As another comment mentioned, I think they get some sorta subsidy. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 UBS VP1275265540 all inAsia coverageMid-top i think. Small team VP in BB
+1 You need asymmetric upside and that takes risk. PE isn’t risk…it’s just a lot of hard work. I’m in tech and most of my net worth gains (2x, 3x some years) have been because of RSU appreciation. ConfusedGuru
+1 Well let’s hope for the best lol, I’ll keep you updated  Anonyous1
+1 all the best to u too! onlygetbacks
+1 Let’s just call it culture. Also, if I take a week off and come to New York, I’ll probably experience more of the city than you do all year.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 moneymaker03
+1 Gold frescos
+1 So many operating partners these days adding 0 value and only pissing off the management teams who actually know the business... Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 You don’t even need a good gpa 3.0 in STEM > 3.7 in finance. Also, for top firms, you absolutely do need a 3.5+.  usernameladiesman217
+1 Silver just lags behind gold in terms of rare metal pricing. It's more useful because it's used in solar and EVs, but people aren't buying because of that. People are buying for speculative purposes. usernameladiesman217
+1 most open roles aren’t even advertised on LinkedIn because way too many subpar candidates apply to them. This is particularly the case for more senior roles that firms don’t want to advertise openly.  ma59
+1 Idk what all the stress is. Just spend time with ur family and enjoy ur life man. why would u want to work before you have to. Broker in IB - Cov
+1 I didn't get to choose per say, but I believe its a different application pool for portfolio valuations (credit & equity) vs regular valuations. Gold-ManSacks

+1 IU - those kids can place and debt isn't worth it. Any 2 IB - Cov.
+1 I am in the same boat right now. Have opportunity to go to UK for masters in econ or political economics or stay in US and do an econ masters. Uk schools in question are Kings and LSE. LSE classes look extremely boring. Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+1 A) not to be that guy, but Miami is definitely not 'the south'  asmith_1
+1 Invalid_CREdentials PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀

+1 ThanksFR recent graduate wsonavigator
+1 I don’t have one (not for lack of trying), these girls are picky and I haven’t gotten laid in over a year. Thanks for reminding me on a finance site I thought I was safe on. analyzinganalyst

+1 Hedgefund YOE: 4-5Base: 200kBonus: 1.4m Trade energy TackoDonkey
+1 This is badass. Thank you for your service. nontrgetplz_
+1 Yes, I would say the technicals will be on par and there might be 1 teaser. It will be 2 on 1, VPs-SVPs. But genuinely focus on behaviorals, because again technicals are just a given. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Really valuable and timely insights. ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 Genuinely curious: why target D/E brokerage roles?   asmith_1
+1 Thank you kindly. Will definitely take a look. I'm an old-head (just turned 30) and looking to reposition so this could be helpful. StillNomad
+1 First round, p easy techs Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 What’s major/minor? Intern in IB - Cov
+1 It at least partially depends on where you want to end up after graduation. Plenty of IU kids place into Midwest IB roles (e.g. Chicago), and USC presumably does just fine with West Coast roles. EBITDope
+1 if you cant figure this out on your own you will not make it mgw19
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, UF (University of Florida) can be a solid choice for breaking into investment banking (IB) and related fields like private equity (PE), hedge funds (HF), sales & trading (S&T) WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Well, they do be kissin dudes Raijin
+1 Deal Team SixHey man, I appreciate the kind words. Happy to help (hopefully this is helpful). dino777
+1 Have people send you modeling case studies snd then try to do them until it’s easy after watching YouTube videos and courses (break into CRE, a.cre) [email protected]
+1 Talked to someone (works in ny ibd classic), said should almost concluded. Personally assume we can expect at least one more wave. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 On the subway ride home, you open Twitter and see a software engineer complaining about how his standup meeting went 10 minutes over and now he has to cancel his afternoon rock climbing session. FingerBlasterBoy2004
+1 Hearing comp was quite good for Asso 1 ~400k all in for top Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 lol no CAP associate promote is running a 1bn book in 2-3yrs...  Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 There's a big difference between raising money and committed money. Unless they have already raised the money miss me with that bs. I would demand astronomical comp to take that risk at this point in the cycle.  brosephstalin
+1 Lol this is just simply not true Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Analysts manage a 15% slice in the funds.. which is a $450+ bn pool… w ~200 analysts…  monkeyJD
+1 I've never seen an Operating Partner add any value whatsoever other than 1) being an LP and 2) network/introductions Anonymous Monkey
+1 Y seekinthealpha1
+1 May I ask why it doesn't make too much difference for UK roles? Desa
+1 I’m a sophomore in college so don’t hate me but my best take is stay away from it especially right now. sillyguy458
+1 I was just promoted last year from associate which was 155 + 40, so its the bottom of the range for VP. 175 base starting for VP1. After a year or two it goes to 200 and bonus goes up to 80-100.  Works at Wells Fargo and Company
+1 Insight on analyst comp (base + bonus)? Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 Just got my superday invitation for 8am Saturday… wallstreetdude123
+1 wrong pic thats his intern who probably wrote this postthe real him is this Incoming Analyst in Private Credit
+1 Don't forget running risk & pnl on new trades going into the book; or getting pinged by sales to add sales credits to the trades; or daily expiries and rushing to cover delta when someone calls the wrong way...  bobzen
+1 This must be rage-bait, and if it is you guys are falling bad bulgebrackethater
+1 UBS still has a soph program for s&t i think Incoming Analyst in Private Credit

+1 Hi Marco Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Rumor they have a massive short on Silver and might legit collapse for real Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Completely agree, also left as fast as possible once I got something worth leaving for. In my honest opinion I still think it depends on the group you get placed into. AnonEx

+1 Those from Waterloo and Laurier who've done co-ops at these Toronto banks usually can get a return barclayscalgarydemon
+1 I’m on the other side of the corporate move and it’s not all I was sold. I’m paid less than when I was in PE and still working 60-70 hours a week working through weekends and holidays. Associate 1 in CorpFin
+1 Banks are not unavoidable FYI. Most of the good boutiques in FIG (EVR, PWP, LAZ, PJT, JEFF) get enough deal flow that you can probably not work on banks. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 When did u get rd 2 inv heizmandoza1
+1 I would go IU in your case. The IBW has recently expanded the number of people it admits to ~100 students, and the trend seems to be continuing as they make Kelley harder to get into. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Well interview processes depends on the firm too. Most firms tend to lean more technical but some are known for being chiller (Canadian banks) and some like the FIG boutiques tend to be unbelievably technical. Gold-ManSacks
+1 There's also a huge difference between having a large portion of your net worth tied up in something like home equity as opposed to stocks or other liquid assets. Manager in CorpStrat
+1 Anymore EB numbers? CVP, PJT, EVR, MOE,PWP, LAZ? BigChimpin86
+1 yeah because buying a home in LA (top 5 most expensive cities on the planet) at under 28 years old is the equivalent to renting for life. nontrgetplz_
+1 Yes. vexelnana_
+1 someone just watched industry  bobj789

+1 Wish I could help, but this is a world none of the posters of this moronic sight have any insight into.  My man, why are you asking Americans, this question.  Talk to your career office.   Daemon145
+1 I applied Jan 15th so still waiting on my decision. Could you please post your background? fin_ants
+1 Maybe lmm PC or the CLO arm of a DL/HF but the traditional places you are referring to will be pretty hard. Swear these people have never modelled in their life and their exits reflect that Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 ur trolling. squarepoint is a bottom bucket shop. talked to some poeple. they're like trillium trading. no_home_jerome
