Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Gonna respond sincerely, I've worked with both PWP London folks and Ex-Jefferies London folks. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Here we go again with the any criticism of what the jews do is Nazism. I don't care if tou call me a Nazi. Jews have a big role to play in the partial destruction of the west. LockedIn Bezos
+1 Hey message me directly - have some experience. The short answer is; definitely possible (though FYI not all those firms have the same recruiting pull in UK, e.g. PJT and EVR get less love from HHs). walking_downside_case
+1 Don't take a UBS SF Tech offer unless you have nothing else. That group only does pitches and yet somehow has crap culture, WLB, and WFH. It's the worst of all world's. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Shhdejwjdnfbehwjxjnfbebex SeniorityMonkey
+1 Fuentes seems to be an Epstein supporter. He calls him "Based". Sharky286
+1 That's a very cynical view and definitely warranted concerning the world of politics. Sharky286
+1 I personally find it both funny and demoralizing to see that the people who were so concerned about the safety of children are now breaking their backs to somehow make their fantastical view of Trump match wit Sharky286
+1 The thing is though that 18 is just a legal cutoff because people below that age are not seen as persons capable of giving informed consent. Sharky286
+1 There is 2 realistic and good options for you.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 There are claims of him working for Mossad (see his cheeky correspondence with Ehud Barak, clearly sarcastically implying that he does work for Mossad) and the CIA (victim testimony). Sharky286
+1 No. It doesn’t. GordonGekko87
+1 Altman Solon seems like a disaster but maybe worth it? Manager in CorpStrat
+1 They don't have to "hire" him as an employee or a subordinate colleague for him to work for them. He was an access point for intelligence agencies. Sharky286
+1 If you want to break into IB, I would advise to apply in the M&A arm of a Big4. They are very well respected in the UK and have strong deal flow. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 last I checked, am sec can't raise. believe they went from 7b in their last fund to 1.8 or so in the most recent fund funguy44
+1 AS2 @ $10B+ fund // Buyout // ~$310k // 50-50 // LA Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Current RJ T&S analyst here and reading this at 3am (standard time for RJ). lowkey chuckling about the group politics. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Anonymous Monkey: sol42
+1 I'm not sure it matters what's "typical" anymore. The world of power and politics operates differently than what most people thought before. Sharky286
+1 Totally unrealistic. If a fund does 12-15 deals over 4 years and has 15 VPs then everyone should do 1 deal every 4 years VP in PE - LBOs
+1 My response was deleted for some reason. I won't type it out again. I agree with your points and agree that I made some mistakes in my previous comment. Thank you for correcting me. Sharky286
+1 EVR is prob #1? Maybe along with GS. Bill Anderson from EVR is the top name in this field Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I don't think you're being pedantic. I'm seeing people conflate this throughout this thread. Nepotism is conferring undue advantage due to personal connections. Coming from money and going to good schools is not nepotism. petight
+1 This is true and the right attitude to have. If you have the capacity for the volume of work, and you find it interesting, it really is the perfect job. Purple Sloth
+1 I'd focus on MOIC rather than IRR. Unless there are a lot of early exits, IRR moves down meaningfully as the fund matures. PEanon
+1 Where is Bronzbamba? A user way ahead of his time who was first to shit on UBS years ago and was right all along Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 To build an equity value to enterprise value bridge, here’s what you need to know based on the most helpful WSO content: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Try Fitzrovia. Pretty close to yuppie-esque restaurants/bars, near Regents park (nice) and transport options are great. Anthony Wilder
+1 del cober
+1 What’s wrong with you monkeyoasis3
+1 Had an Atlanta SD yesterday Anonymous Monkey
+1 Really nice comment, I get it.  The “Just don’t fucking dance” line from The Big Short sums up my feelings.   I am dumb. I am goy. I am observing.  CharlesCheese
+1 I don't know why this forum loves Providence so much but it's objectively a firm in decline. Their latest fund size is half of their previous ones. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Some LMM banks haven't opened. I don't think HSBC has opened. The Japanese banks are still recruiting. Regional players also exist(pnc and truist for example). Maybe some boutiques too usernameladiesman217
+1 CRE WalMartShopper
+1 This should be bigger news IowaCornBoy
+1 The only face I remember from my tenor at Saint Ann's is my Au Pair picking me up in the Range Rover to go to polo practice. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 Was your father also on the Epstein list like mine? plzgivemeajob
+1 When are markets Superdays out? Got email a few weeks back saying still under consideration, j taking longer than expected enronauditintern
+1 Dallas PE generally leans pretty sweaty for whatever reason. Most people put up with it because they want to be in Dallas  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Everyone that is saying evercore is just doing so bc of brand name…. But if you actually work in banking, you know that evercore ECM is pretty irrelevant. Most ECM roles are a joke tbh Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Did WF NY send out another wave yet? IAmHim
+1 The demographics of the “senior level employees” match the demographics of America when those people were junior level employees. Mass immigration of the groups OP mentions is a recent phenomenon.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I'm too poor to know any of them. LockedIn Bezos
+1 Well it’s not over yet per se, banks are wrapping up recruiting for targets and semi-targets with dedicated recruiting teams and I pretty sure non-target recruiting is much less structured and happens after. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Even my half exceptional bi-racial brain can see the argument is a logical fallacy. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Yea, agree with above. think about it in terms of deployment cycles of latest fund. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 You think that corporate banking and investment banking have the same salary at BBs? Haha Mario2385
+1 I’m probably too late for OP but I’ve done a similar move and went with the Corporate job. nycmonkey550
+1 Yeah deadass let a high school kid get interested in business/finance from an early age wso doomscroller
+1 Would add Hg too Associate 3 in PE - Growth
+1 Finally you get me. I don’t expect them to include Asian / Brown men in DEI but anything that forces them to stop this onslaught of gender DEI is fair enough.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I am not claiming that liberals are not named or are saints.  Part of being a liberal is acknowledging that your "team" might have some bad people on side. Ozymandia
+1 Not NY but other Tier 1 market. We've hired two associates this past year (no, we aren't hiring more) and 99% of the candidates we got just weren't great. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 I've personally not heard much about UCL at the masters level, I believe they drop off pretty hard there. Obviously you'd have the name prestige, but the masters itself may be weak. rpdwldn
+1 know someone who had CR on resume and got into 20+ processes ILOVEBANANAS123
+1 This is a hilarious thread Principal in HF - Event
+1 I hate it here  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Interesting. Yea I’d go with Jefferies. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Very easily could be 1 platform every 3-4 years. Some can go a full associate or VP tenure without closing one in this market. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 120 base + 20 sign on + 130 bonus + 25 spontaneous mid-year bonus for beating budget, standardized for all analysts. The year after they took us to Europe...  SolvencyGod
+1 Brother, if you truly believe anyone is lateraling to Jefferies from Apollo or taking it over HBS, please see a psychiatrist Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+1 pointless as rx rankings reshuffle every year with the exception of PJT Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 was in a similar position and ended up making the jump. despite me not seeing PE as my long-term career, I think it was the right move and should have switched sooner. brother_hl2340dw

+1 Would it be alright if I pm'ed you? This is a major worry of mine, and I often fear that I come off as too intense. recruit52
+1 Hard to see the value they provide above baseline foundational models, but there’s a relatively hard push top down to adopt. asdf1248
+1 HSBC has already opened. But yeah I think some smaller boutiques and LMM banks haven't opened apps yet. CuriousGeorge1024

+1 Not concerned. A solid analyst (not a model monkey) at a sizable fund has a base salary that is negligible to the profit pool. Anchor
+1 My group got rid of all DEI initiatives within recruiting this year, and we ended up like 30% white dudes. Idk what people expect but there's a datapoint for you. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 If the analyst's only purpose is modeling, earnings updates, etc. then sure, this is at risk. I have seen some funds outsource that work to India or have an "analyst" based in India. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Deadass, I'm almost thirty and I don't know how to change my wso status tbh Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 Ignore title; associate 2 who got the senior promote at my fund. I felt the same way and I am sure most people do. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I like the term "Vibe-Code Red" Soros_
+1 That makes a lot of sense. I think you hit valuations pretty spot on. The lack of decision ownership and just delivering an output is exactly what’s been frustrating for me. Associate 1 in Consulting

+1 Oppenheimer opens in March Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Agree with above. I'd also add that you should exhaust other resources (albeit efficiently/expediently) and use your VP for only the remaining questions that you couldn't answer. SaaSChimp
+1 it's elite. if u were to somehow get it i don't know why you would be planning to exit. ibtigercub
