+1 If OP is trying to interview for an analyst role, it is very likely he will get asked to pitched investment ideas as part of the interview process. kil
+1 not much to add, but sad to hear it’s still this way. all the best. i left after 1.5y into corp and boyyy was it worth it. anonymnous
+1 Probably for the best IMO, most of the people who work there have BW as their first and last gig in finance. Nobody thinks like them, and I don't mean that as a compliment. Prospect in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Usually 1-4 European deals annually here, predominantly in Software — don’t think I’ve seen them on a large Internet/Semis/IT Services mandate VP in IB - Cov
+1 It has been quite some time since I went to college. Is Northwestern known for nepotism? Never knew much about the school. Managing Director in HF - EquityHedge
+1 I mean just take any salad place really. These shady places with “gym” in the name I don’t trust. Before you order check reviews on google as some of these are quite gross Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+1 Lol that’s wild  ap_717
+1 TheorPhysicist TheFunkyMunky
+1 Extremely small piece of advice but I find skipping lunch entirely actually helps. Normally eating a small amount at lunch sets me off and makes me even hungrier for the rest of the lead-up to my evening meal. Works in SnT
+1 A DA on this programme here, there’s been quiet rumours throughout the cohorts about the odd person getting HF offers to simply quit it all and join immediately. Works in SnT
+1 Bro has 'What Wall Street didnt prepare me for - running a business'. LARP harder. U were an analyst for 1.5 yrs. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yep, as most people do not realize to what extent gpt and other models, at least thus far, are just “advanced token manipulators”. They may help to write simple letters, but suck at presenting ideas. IMHO. TheorPhysicist
+1 Yes. Check out Shortcut.ai. palm_beach_ll
+1 Hi, commenting again as I interviewed for this program. Are you saying you and other MSF alumni network/help new MSF students? If so, that's really great. pbgrxavel
+1 I’d wait for the one year and jump ship, just makes things easier for ur next step. I went thru this exact same phase and am really glad I toughed it out for the full year. enlightenedfinancebro
+1 I'll go slightly against the usual norm and say "a fair bit" as long as it relates to your current application.  If you have M&A experience, you're likely going to end up in M&A.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Honestly it wasn't running away from VC but rather running towards building a business. I come from a family of entrepreneurs so I was already drawn towards that path. Determined
+1 Literally day after bonus clears in your bank account. Good luck with this  dukeblue2019
+1 Final year. Modelling tests have been the standard for me  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Portfolio in disarray Swine-Linked-Notes
+1 Here’s my observation on how this playing out: we’re inching towards average in-place rent of $20,000/mo with 2.5 WALT on our high end mf in south Florida. palm_beach_ll
+1 sometimes biz dev just go around fishing for info for 3-4 rounds before ghosting you. Investment Analyst in S&T - Other
+1 Stanford and it’s not even close Intern in Consulting
+1 Sounds like a "grass is always greener" scenario. Here's what I gleaned from your post regarding your current role. Does the con outweigh the pros?  Pros: Determined
+1 Firm is quite niche, generally the success measure here will be seeing how the Intern -> FT -> Exits will be. Do not see many exits generally and RX CO typically is a place you stay. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 thanks prospect Prospect in PE - Other
+1 Banks lay off people every year. Typically these layoffs happen at the VP level to cut the fat. Recruiting follows economic cycles (slightly lagged). Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Feel the same way but will definitely thug it out. Think I’ll look back on it and be glad I did. Happy to talk, nice to have friends man. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 You didn’t specify where on the buyside but I’m guessing a HF. When someone says buyside IR, I usually think of PE and fundraising. Associate 3 in ER
+1 Depends on role, firm size, location. MM to UMM (non-MF) I'm seing $125k-150k base + 25-50% bonus in T1/T2 cities Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 I mean if the "scaled" platforms are a choice, then yes. bleep
+1 Investing in high-quality bedding and linens is a fantastic choice, as it directly impacts your comfort and sleep quality. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Unique firm in the sense that we are quite involved post the initial Headhunter screen...quite honestly very few RX CO candidates come to us through the headhunter intro/interview channel. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 It’s just an old saying I heard long ago. Partner in RE - Comm
+1 Leave finance and join Azerbaijan Technology Pro Veritate
+1 earnings calls for reits? propmetrica.com
+1 Do most anticipate a similar on-cycle as previous years of a 2-3 day sprint with most funds going at the same time or a longer timeline like off-cycle? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks for the advice and def leaning toward that. I got the MM PE internship by cold calling the founder who was a school alum. But you can also just spam out hundreds of emails to people, got some offers doing that. [email protected]
+1 Old CS / new UBS has a nice old school vibe, plus right next to Madison park Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 Hassan Akram wallstreetbot24
+1 Missing:  Richard & Julie (Wiltshire, 70yo - P&O Cruises and their Volvos won't pay for themselves) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Has to be the new JPM building, right? sheldonxp
+1 Canyon is expanding rapidly into PC and so are Oaktree, Carlyle. Park Square has solid reputation in europe and now expanding to the US. Sona as well. Ares hasn’t been mentioned but it’s outstanding. Director in AM - FI
+1 WashU and it’s not even close Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Ladies and gentleman Fuku has replied! Thank you Fuku…your ability to copy and paste basic images and graphics continues to highlight your intellectual and analytical capabilities! Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 retard low IQ work can be taught in weeks, that's why non-finance grads aren't as overrepresented in HFs and fly to other procedure-oriented work (e.g. PE) GS under Blankfein
+1 Lmao some of the best analysts I've known have come from unrelated degrees. nutmegger189
+1 Definitely overestimating here. Realistically only 70-100 spots (leaning lower tail). PJT/EVR/HL are really the only groups with 10-12 SA spots. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Yeah and they all P sitting down as if not it would be all over their balls… Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 if you're from a "super non target" it obviously helps a lot, having a name brand on your resume/actual experience before recruiting for your big 3rd year gig shows a lot of credibility in my opinion ILOVEBANANAS123
+1 I’d say figuring out the guy’s name is going to be a pretty big step in diligence PM in HF - Event
+1 Bump.  Wondering if there are any fresh perspectives or info. 716jasper
+1 Ignore the other commenter. Speak to the HR first and figure out, they will connect you with the team if necessary. You’re not the first person that has this issue  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 sda is a separate school. It does not have the clout or prestige that bocconi proper does. Infact, I have never heard of it. hutcointraders
+1 I'm in the Structured Finance team under CSG and can confirm that we do indeed invest off of our own balance sheet. The role essentially involves private credit-style lending through various asset-backed securities. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Has anyone been rejected? eaubskaha
+1 More of an Azir main nowadays :) Mastery 7 IB Shitter
+1 Sounds super risky. unders
+1 Well, either way, for guidance it doesn't hurt to apply to schools and see where you get in, but right now a lot of people are doing masters and grad school just because of how bad the job market is.  usernameladiesman217
+1 Both IB and S&T are great roles where you’ll learn a lot. marketsigma

+1 Going to add that we had an intern leave midway through their summer internship for 1.5 weeks due to 'personal reasons', and given how strong the overall class was, they were culled as a result. VP in IB - Cov
+1 You’re never gonna make it Intern in IB - CB
+1 Sorry man, I think you'll be blacklisted. I would start looking for a career outside of investment banking.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 If you can’t proof read an email enough to see the email you are sending it to varies from the firm in your email that is an easy cut. Best to take it as a learning experience. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Are you sure you are in late stages? PM in HF - EquityHedge
+1 They gave quite short notice, alerted us at the start of the internship – definitely let HR know ASAP, reminding them/the team during the first/second week of the internship too. VP in IB - Cov
+1 Fragilis_CHi ! I’m posting under various trending discussions in hopes to get my post seen. I would very much appreciate any advice anyone can share! Works at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
+1 Was talking to recruiters for ASC 1 roles and got comp quotes all over the place, some quotes below: Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 For now, having multiple media / entertainment subscriptions (mostly streaming services, sometimes gaming ones too if I know I have downtime for a month or two). NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Don’t waste a single second more on CFA if you actually want to do IB, useless and complete time suck. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 ... Seen a US version thats quite vague, was hoping to get a response from someone in London with  actionable steps.Do you have a response? WarrenBuffet15
+1 Yeah if you’re coming in day 1 of the fund, it’s usually 3-4 yrs before the first realizations, and 10+ years to get the final realizations (maybe). kuf135
+1 In my view, it’s worth it as I really like the tech sector and hope to potentially exit into it after banking but to each their own. If you don’t mind me asking, why are you looking to leave ur CB role? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Has anyone heard anything after second round? Analyst 1 in PE - Growth
+1 Hirevue is an automated interviewing system where questions are presented on the screen and you have 2 min to answer. Analysts review it after. Usually done after resume screen. no_home_jerome
+1 Finance is just a job, not your life, and your job does not determine your worth. It’s a cliche but true. analyzinganalyst
+1 DB US and DB Europe - two very different places.  overlord481216
+1 At my bank, first year analysts quit due to being overworked and their role never gets filled and just makes all the other analysts suffer more Bank dependent Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Lifestyle you are describing is not really compatible, one of the main reasons why I left. This job robs you of any ability to plan ahead of time let alone spend an entire day out completely offline. enlightenedfinancebro
+1 If I knew that, I'd be making billions of dollars as a trader. Ozymandia
+1 Insight is great for new grads. They'll train you how to source, due diligence, and bring you up in a cohort of future VCs that will be your network when everyone moves to other firms. Determined
+1 Great school, viewed on par with UVA, University of Michigan, etc., UVA, Michigan, Chapell Hill, etc., will place better in NYC and Berkeley will place better (vs. UVA, Michigan) Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 None of them are RX consulting firms Prospect in Consulting
+1 Bankers' understanding of a company's business often depends on their role, seniority, and the specific group they work in. Here's a breakdown based on the most helpful WSO content: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Single PTO every month comes out to 12 days of PTO, most analysts I know (albeit at a sweatshop) only take 5-10. + in your 1st year, depending on where you are, highly discouraged to take any PTO at all Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Congrats on your career milestone, and great taste with the current selection you have laid out here. I am also a Tudor BB 36mm wearer and have loved my time with the watch, but also understand the desire to upgrade! loopwheelconstruction
+1 As far as potential exits/later in career, would cap solutions end up being more pigeon-holey do you think? jp1401
+1 totally safe, and in fact I'd recommend networking with people above associate. It's harder to build a connection / get a referral from an MD, but definitely still worth networking with them. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Shift bracket is elite tho ngl er_beast
+1 I think it’s so funny how SMs market themselves as having “differentiated” investment processess. They hire the same 2+2 candidates and own the same compounder type names. er_beast
+1 Nothing like this in London! Most IBs here encourage Analysts to take at least the 2 week block leave and few days off around Xmas and August off-peak seasons is considered completely normal.  Halpin11
+1 Infra Credit may be a really good choice wuandale33
