+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
+1 congrats on wf, psu, and mizuho! David Constabile
+1 he’s a course seller David Constabile
+1 Then looks like you should transfer.  Seems like you figured out why you're getting rejected. Applying to IB roles while at an extreme non target is setting yourself for failure.  parmesan123123
+1 So my summer associate was too busy to learn excel shortcuts but has time to shitpost on this website. You guys are the bane of my existence. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Intern in PE - Growth
+1 What you typed is fine - I'd just say you're back in banking as you have a mortgage and family to support, but you're still looking to get back to PE and would be willing to jump more quickly than you'd otherwise like to f Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 You’ll want to land 1 of the three clubs, TBC, UIBG, or the other one I can’t remember. You don’t need them but they are helpful. To do this you will have to network due to them having an insanely inflated egos. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I'm not sure how worthwhile a master program is without prior work experience. the_mantis

+1 besides the ones u listedGS and Bofa primarily do mm deals to sponsors ghl chicago does p well, laz has a rx office there. pwp, evr, moe have small offices Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Levfin's probably the best group there and it's pretty good I'd say although the bank's focusing more on US now. For M&A I know they did a few infra and renewable deals like PSP airport deals, etc Works at Deutsche Bank
+1 "I have certain social and cultural insecurities." Classic Ad hominem. Also untrue, stop it with the amateur psychoanalysis. RestIess
+1 Have heard the Japanese banks have pretty decent WLB in Levfin (Mizuho etc). Intern in AM - FI
+1 the alum will def ding you. Reason: you won't last in this role if you can't take at least the mildest form of caffeinated drink wherdf
+1 Yes, the Citadel Securities Market Making internship in Paris is extremely selective. Even if the interview didn’t go perfectly, you’re still in the running—many candidates stumble early and recover in later rounds. DerivativesRiskEducation
+1 Floor trading still exists in some areas, especially in options and commodities, but most roles now blend execution with electronic trading. DerivativesRiskEducation
+1 Not particularly. VP in IB - Cov
+1 My fund is not the best at moving internally, but it has definitely been done before and I genuinely love my fund so ideally I end up as a lifer Analyst 2 in S&T - FI
+1 I think you'll be able to get back into PE I just don't know that you will be given full credit for those 2-3 years in corp dev. arb43
+1 Speaking from my experience as someone who gets 100s of networking emails: Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Maybe you're a grower not a shower.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 Her job at BX was/is incredibly demanding. She’s made so much money and is getting older what’s the point of going through that if you’ve already accumulated so much  cre-23
+1 Such obvious troll post starts with "im a 19 year old white girl" smh  RestIess
+1 Analyst 3+ in IB-M&Apics? how long? TechBanking
+1 Kaizen Equity Partners? The fuck? I think I know who @PE-biz-dev is. Also a shady fucking dude. Waterman
+1 they too young to get the joke GS under Blankfein
+1 Maybe the real exit opps were the friends we made along the way. RestIess
+1 I agree. Sometimes I read these advice threads and truly scratch my head as to what the confusion is. OPs story is completely acceptable and more importantly perfectly reasonable. Associate 3 in PE - Growth
+1 I got a pair of gloves from the State & Liberty in SoHo for about $68 and they're warm and look nice.Shinola is a brand I like too, and they make leather gloves for about $125.  Fast and Fiduciary
+1 every single person ive met from Yale is like this.  MrWilliamEmerson
+1 700 GMAT FE is 98th percentile, you are confusing classic and FE. A 655 FE score is 710 classic... But also OP needs to know FE scores only end in 5.  hutcointraders
+1 Yeah I think you have a shot. Write good letters, tell a good story. Hopefully maybe your demographics can play into things too.  hutcointraders
+1 SO I replied to this post that was taken down.  Looks like OP pulled the prior post. C.R.E. Shervin
+1 I have too but not for anything I would take over BMO. Citi is supposed to release if you get 1st round today so hoping to get that but if not will most likely accept next week tam2000
+1 What I said is a better strategy even prior to series A. Unless the position you are looking for would only report to the CEO, it makes sense to get as close to the direct chain of command as possible.  PEarbitrage
+1 patrick_bateman_ Ozymandia
+1 Post tax that difference is really nothing. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Not much to say. The anecdote that founders aren't super involved is true, but they still take a big chunk out of the carry pool as you'd expect. They've had some decent exits but nothing "out of the park" special. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Even if Lina Khan was Mayor of NYC, how would this matter for banks? NYC local government doesn't have authority over IB.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Everyone thinkin they a capitalist when they're really just the capital  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 The years I lived in SF I was 23-24 so I just went to all the Marina bars lol. Wilder, Westwood, Jaxson, Balboa Cafe, Silver Cloud, Bus Stop, White Rabbit. Fast and Fiduciary
+1 IB brain confusing correlation with causation in big 2025. Hate to see it. Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Pretty straightforward - take the GP cash flows from the LP/GP waterfall and create a new waterfall that pro-rates contributions / profit sharing based on % inputs.  nontargetdemon
+1 Nothing compared to Updog Capital Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 I passed the All Options llc (Texas) assessment in may, was turned down because I applied right before application window closed, re-took it in september and didnt pass the 2nd time due to over-confidence. Reallyouthere
+1 It really comes down to your priorities and long-term goals. JOSANMARRK
+1 As for RSM its difficult because I would have to enroll as a first year student and then ask for credits to be recognized therefore I would risk having to restart a whole year, while the year I studied in the UK and the co HambatukAm
+1 To be honest, Bocconi is very difficult it seems like, especially with its system of weighing your gpa in your second to last year and third to last year. HambatukAm
+1 no way its only 40% for top bucket? bros tryna get op to renege and take his spot lol Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Former daily smoker for over a decade. Stopped because it started impacting my short term memory and giving me anxiety. dukeblue2019
+1 Dude, congrats on passing the SIE. You're already ahead of others who wait for an internship before taking the test. Ruby's_Revenge14

+1 top bucket not even cracking 100k TC kek Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You will find that being a guy who is well put together (5/10 would do 3/10 if you are 6'+, being well dressed and well groomed are more important), not socially awkward, and has a top 1% job is more rare than it is to be monke33
+1 Happens all the time in London and get credit for their shitty private markets M&A experience too.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Smbc to gs fig Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Weed slows you down. Maybe once in a while but I wouldn't smoke constantly. Pathaan
+1 Brown Bag Laundry - they have a laundry place and an atelier. Used them all throughout undergrad and grad and even though I moved uptown if I need something hemmed/tailored I still go to them. captainserious
+1 it’s great to network and talk in the sauna, everyone could use some more face to face real talk in their lives. However, EVERYONE DO NOT SPEND 4-6HRS IN THE SAUNA. That is extremely dangerous and you could die. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I’m just an observer and don’t know shit truly. But she had a very public profile with Gray hyping her up. To the point o wondered where Kaplan stood. Investment Analyst in RE - Comm
+1 No it is not the same as covering any sector and thus your thinking is wrong. As others have said, this is not an investment role at all. You are not covering stocks or working directly with anyone who runs a portfolio. Works at Citigroup
+1 Big red flag when any firm preaches about their better “culture.” It’s usually a great sign that the culture is ass Benson Says
+1 Again as everyone said, take the corporate banking offer especially in this job market. If you find banking internships try for it. But you would be surprised how many banks will FT hire someone who never did IB.  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 What about PFG (private funds group)? Re primary fundraising side Intern in ER
+1 May I smoke my pipe? Bud Fox 22
+1 People will see this and actually do it Bud Fox 22

+1 I go back and forth on if the risk / reward of doing a MF junior summer makes sense. Throwaway_v.28
+1 5. Ducera Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 Okay maybe I should have phrased differently. Analyst 2 in S&T - FI
+1 Don’t listen to a word this retard clown bozo says BarackHusseinObama
+1 And in theory it makes sense Why would a PM take a risk on a 27 year old trader, when he could pull a 25 year old analyst from CitSec or a 24 year old QR from GS? Analyst 2 in S&T - FI
+1 I mean if the MF office / team you worked at has good return rate in history then 100% take the offer. gugugu1
+1 I’m not sure you understood what I said  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Total speculation on my part: Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Actuarial analyst to GS IBD Analyst 2 in AM - FI
+1 seems like the key to these crazy laterals is to be in a specialized group like FIG, no way this would happen in smth like c&r or tech Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 Nah but its still pretty similar. I know its more lax being in Cali but most companies, from SWE to hardo BB/EB to quant take less than a week after the final round to let you know you got the offer. no_home_jerome
+1 It will fade, it always does. Delete the texts, work on yourself, and focus on the next one. Broketree Capital
+1 7. Remigration. 100 million people. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 A MF summer is great for the resume and networking, but the path after depends a lot on how much real work they let you touch. Some interns get full deal exposure, some spend most days on data pulls. Hanlon
+1 Hospitality groups care a lot more about deal relevance than your current coverage, so the easiest entry point is usually through broader REPE. Hanlon
+1 discord.gg/VsPvendfMm Prospect in Consulting
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's a breakdown of what you can expect as an Acquisition Finance Analyst at a European relationship bank in London, along with comparisons to LevFin and insights into exit opportun WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Work at one of the two. IB hardos will respect EVR M&A more but ultimately GS is more well known outside of that  professional.form.filler
+1 No, according to their own worldview they don't need to be grateful about any undesirable invader, even if they are "Christian" in name Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Also say "good question" to all his questions. Get on his good side early RestIess
+1 Is this how it is at JEF? I am at a top BB currently and considering moving back to MM (I used to work in MM in my early ASO years). IB 1017

+1 Does the optional gap year that I’ve seen included in French programs form part of the usual route for French students? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
