+1 In what world is this an actual question? It's pretty clearly UBS just based on historical reputation and status. WSO is basically UBS hating forum though, but just check Linkeldn for exits. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 UBS by miles  overlord481216
+1 It could make sense but you need consider retail pricing on individual homes and saturating the micro market with for sale product simultaneously. cpgame
+1 Please do a basic linkeldn search instead of beleiving anything and everything you read on this forum. It truly is not very difficult.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Only people who stay is to let people know they work at LAHzard, deal flow is negative Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Facts - are they not just M&A for sponsor backed deals? Seems like deal flow should be strong here. Obviously slight discount to regular M&A but you would still list M&A on your resume Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 Not a big watch guy, my gf got me a fossil watch for our anniversary. Only $150 and I really like it and I love my gf a lot. Will I get clowned on for wearing it during my SA? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Had the same thing happen; was a meeting with the founder that was purely personality based. Got the offer on the spot at the end of the call. However, could also be a case of it's a tie-breaker of you vs. another person. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Yes you can wear it. Nobody's gonna respect anyone for wearing a +$1,000 watch if he never worked to pay it. And respect your gf gifts. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Another thing I’d add is - as you get older / more mature, your peers don’t buy a $5k watch because they made $5k and can spend it. Aine

+1 Anyone hear back from nyc SD yesterday? SnailPOT
+1 Very situational. What's the shop like? Are they concentrated in one region? Do they expect the analysts to have a sense of their portfolio and how each pursuit slots into their existing product?  Associate 2 in RE - Comm

+1 It's fair point to say that if you are a sr. you have not really been affected by this. I guess my post is mainly geared towards juniors (sub-5yrs exp) or those who will enter as juniors. therealgekko

+1 At MF rn (latest fund >20b) - vibes have been fine (not great, not bad). Our portfolio has held up better than others (maybe 1/2 names where we truly believe capital will be impaired) so that helps. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Hilarious that so many clowns are giving you downvotes. Excellent point on not following what she says on how many guys vs. therealgekko
+1 They pay absurdly high so assume it’s EB hours, maybe slightly below since they focus on 1 niche tho and will likely do less random fire drills. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Yes, the credit use for Code and Cowork are far too high for the pro plan. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
