+1 What strain do u smoke isaiah i like the way u think gordoongeekoo
+1 Culture is great! Don't let ppl tell you otherwise. You're going to work hard no matter what, if you are interested in the numbers and the modeling shoot for M&A. wvzgfh
+1 Change in deferred revenue is just tied to revenue growth. If billings growth is accelerating change in deferred revenue (cash flow) will increase. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 1 - Think there's a fine line between desperate and hunger - can definitely sense desperation in someone's tone / character. lollololol
+1 Awesome list here. I would go with the JLC, elite watchmaking and a genuine watch-lovers class. I really like the Cartiers but the lack of a seconds hand would just make them a lot less fun to look at for me. Zyns_And_Excel
+1 This title wins best click bait award definitelynotafinancebro
+1 KageSelly: Sleeper pick but Edgemont (tiny healthcare boutique) has a sick view of Central Park KageSelly
+1 Damn… I almost thought someone had the similar suspicion about my associate definitelynotafinancebro
+1 Fidelity's office by south station had amazing views monkeyhaank
+1 You have a strong story. Your resilience, work ethic, and independence are assets in IB. Being 25 and finishing later is not a dealbreaker. froggy
+1 On buyside where they recently advised - HL and PJT are virtually interchangeable. IMO the biggest difference is that e.g. PJT is most commonly company/sponsor advisor with HL being mainly creditor side. SeniorChimp
+1 Should have added it to the top bit just giving general comp ranges: Base:150-200Bonus:1-7x base M_As_In_Mancy
+1 lol what kind of BB makes juniors wear a suit and tie every day? SonicBoom12
+1 UK finance recruiting has definitely changed. There are fewer spots and more steps, but I think it’s also more merit-based now. It’s tougher but not impossible. froggy
+1 2 unrelated questions its fine if you answer whichever you feel is most relevant for everyone or both :)  PMatStrattonOakmont
+1 Just stick to your guns, I don't think there's necessarily a strategy to follow here....I have plenty of colleagues who don't drink for personal or religious reasons, believe me nobody is looking at you and wondering why y Gohard
+1 Hey, thanks so much! Really appreciate the reassurance - I think there's very much an emphasis on the consulting recruitment "funnel" and certain boxes to tick off, so that's been a big concern for me. justwantajob12
+1 Agree with this as well. Also you should def take interviews with the pods for a couple of reasons: M_As_In_Mancy
+1 like getting coffee with a friend you have not seen in a while. have a list of questions/topics to start conversation on and let it go from there. it is your job to guide it and ask the questions you want. Mike_wacczowski76
+1 I'm in the same boat but was a top MM this summer and didn't get an RO, the reason was total bullshit. I can't get anyone on the phone or to respond to cold emails. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 CVP/Moe is not an accurate slash combo bucket my guy Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Company’s will typically disclose in their earnings release both total growth and FXN. For example they may say revenues grew 10% in the quarter but 7% excluding fx, meaning fx was a 300bps tailwind to the quarter. M_As_In_Mancy
+1 lol the amount of muppets who clearly don’t enjoy drinking/clubbing but do it just to fit in is crazy saw plenty of fellow interns rave about going to the club just to sit on the sidelines Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I quit drinking 2 years ago. I don't think anyone cares. Just say that "I don't really drink alcohol." No one cares. If things get too sloppy, then leave. At that point no one will notice. TechBanking
+1 It was obviously a metaphor 💀 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 It depends on the information they company provides and why you're trying to get granular. Analyst 2 in AM - Equities
+1 What were the biggest trade offs moving from a generalist to a sector specialist? Determined
+1 Bump - great question sicksick
+1 to be quite honest, I think I will pivot to the niche fragrance industry full time. much more exciting and fun at the moment. real estate in the last 3 years has totally sucked....time to pivot Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 Your highest likelihood route would be to lateral to banking first and then go into PE. Will dramatically improve your long term odds of breaking in.  Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 I’ll add one point to this since I work on a ODCE fund and am very familiar with NCREIF. there is also another property level benchmark called the NPI- Held in ODCE funds for property level info if you need it. Atawapvyhb
+1 they said they’d get back this week relax Business School in PE - Growth
+1 I agree with this, firms can be wary of someone coming in from IB who might be a flight risk + doesn't have the experience that is plentiful with the many F500 FLDP/corp fin grads in the market.  Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Aged like milk kiril
+1 I guess it’s really sector dependent but honestly in the sector I work in all notes/thoughts are pretty similar to begin with. zoo84
+1 Absolutely! My school pushes students to target their searches for internships so that each attempt they make is high-quality. Saltyguy57
+1 ROA is a semi-relevant metric for balance sheet financials. Gonna be honest, DuPont analysis could walk by me on the street and stab me and I still couldn’t tell the cops who did it M_As_In_Mancy
+1 Meritocratic? Ldn recruiting is a full dei except for eu masters Gainone1572
+1 This is not correct. PJT RSSG & EVR RX are virtually interchangeable for exits and career optionality and the two most respected RX groups on the street. rawrx123
+1 I saw some ReEntry Programs from large banks. Not sure what the requirements are but it says it’s meant for people who have taken a career break. Worth looking into. Balls to the Wallstreet
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Just my two cents from the buyside perspective - we don’t view any firm ahead of the other, but from my time in banking (non-RX) I do know that people love prestige ranking. SeniorChimp
+1 Thanks for doing this, how do you suggest thinking about the tradeoff between: PM vs Sector Niche sector vs Broad sector Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 If you flip like two pages further on their reports they breakdown stores / new stores by brand. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 If you’re trying to broaden your options for UK summer internships or graduate roles, it’s true that most students rely on Dartmouth or Trackr — but there are several other recruitment firms that support early-career hirin kelvinmadris
+1 Adding to this - figuring out where to allocate time is part of the case study test. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Directly by the group head, who was a former boss mmmmonkey
+1 This might be one of the worse ideas I've ever seen. My family comes from the Caribbean, and we're very aware of this kind of passport bro shit. Most women will steer clear, or at least women worth dating. usernameladiesman217

+1 Since when did options translate to hoelfation? Clearly a DEI Becky over here. zeroto100nrq
+1 Yeah definitely - you seem smart and obviously are talented enough to do well in either field - just make sure you know what you want, it seems like you know roughly your mid-longer term goals. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I agree. I also don't think it's as DEI as people think. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 Have you ended up hearing back? Got an email saying they’re still in decision making process shadow182838
+1 I am not (nor have I ever been ) at a pod so take this with grain of salt. Assume the generalist pm would still have you focusing on a specific vertical? M_As_In_Mancy
+1 tell me your not a dartmouth guy too... hornet777
+1 Great perspective, I had a similar issue when trying to leave consulting with a mixture of IB and Consulting experience.  Deal Team Six
+1 Why are you looking for internships instead of FT offers? Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎

+1 touch grass IBoss
+1 Probably wont help you get the job directly but will give you crucial context on process, team, etc. Analyst 1 in HF - RelVal
+1 writing here now: OP is not going to last more than a year  why? I've seen how most DS efforts fail at physical shops unless it's a DE/DBA role Investment Analyst in S&T - Other
+1 have heard that JEF, Rothschild, DB, G.Dyal, HL stop sponsoring. A lot of banks are pulling back  yellowpebble
+1 Can I asked why you opted for finance than tech? I think heat map is very applicable well for mobile actually, and also majority of todays traffic goes through mobile. regret_tech
+1 Believe they coordinate as one team  overlord481216
+1 they dropped ib for toronto under "banking analyst summer internship" ILOVEBANANAS123

+1 , no_home_jerome
+1 Go to the pod. You're young and should be taking risk. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Why did you join without a clearly defined mandate? In my experience DS initiatives tend to fail when the roadmap and expectations are not clearly defined and aligned prior? Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Just put it on your resume and drop it once you accept a summer analyst position. maestro_
+1 Couldn't agree more. I say go for the Panomatic or the Reverso ABSurdity
+1 There is one thing I have learned from many years in different companies: You get assigned to do things You do things Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 Gotta be Arby’s  chromium73
+1 Definitely a top option for me, just would presumably take longer than the options I listed in the OP. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 If you have access to sellside research, look for Barclays’ annual bank primer by Goldberg . It is what is used at some MBA program investment banking training programs. jengatower
+1 - Principal in IB - Cov
+1 "a friend" bro its an anonymous forum  Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Hey mate, jcm14310
+1 MBB. MBB LDN is so much more selective, due to LDN having primarily a strong finance sector. afdhfg
+1 Believe it’s roughly ~260k all in for ASO 1 Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 you're fine go get some drinks now roadtomilli
+1 . Assist. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, Scotiabank's recruitment process for mining groups in Toronto can be competitive, especially given the team's reputation and recent changes. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Any insight to which schools the other biopharma offices primarily recruit from other than the charlotte office recruiting from southern schools.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Any updates on those who used to be friendly (GS, MS, EVR, MOE, PJT, etc.)? Prospect in HF - Macro
+1 Have you gotten any feedback from the final rounds? Most likely just a fit issue which is something that you can’t really control. Went through same thing when recruiting full time two years ago. Just need one yes. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 They legally cannot discriminate, thus you cannot be placed at any form of disadvantage. You answered the question yourself.  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Why data / ML isn't suitable in this industry? I mean, at all, based on comments? Seems like if oil market is very fragmented, then small companies don't do much ML efforts. he_return
+1 Also does your college have a Bloomberg terminal? You may have access to sellside research there and not know it. To see if you can find the bank primers referenced type in: M_As_In_Mancy
+1 Do finance at UvA because you will at least study Finance. For the ones next year be careful RSM MSc in F&I closes in a day. boib_1
+1 Vortexa’s data doesn’t look trashy, right? It seems like something valuable can be built on top of it together with Platts data. Also, I have and idea of NLP-based news analytics for the oil market. he_return
+1 Haha thanks - quite paranoid, indeed  Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+1 There’s a lot of back and forth in here but for a data point i’m in IR at a strong MM manager in T1 city and was 325k all in last year (150 base) as an ASO 2. This year expect to be 375-400 Brick House
