Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 As somebody who is both interested in macro/commodities and private credit , why did you make the switch from PC to commodities trading at a HF ? wuandale33
+1 Totally forgot these existed but 100% right now thinking of others I’ve seen on the street. maplebanker
+1 From Netflix own press release:  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 At a similar company (more later stage) and similar YOE - made the jump last year for TC in the $250K ballpark so good offer. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 RBC (first bank to open) actually opened earlier last year, most banks that open Sep-Dec don't start interviewing until Jan 1st onwards Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Hi, its been 6 years now lol. Did you end up going to UCI? Also, were you able to break into a finance role out of whichever college you went to? SoCalTrader
+1 While your firm has moved away from it, do you think others will? I think it still actually makes sense not to, in a lot of cases. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 this was the only place I interviewed at where I called the recruiter immediately afterwards and asked them to withdraw my candidacy Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Why do people keep on repeating performance is bad, I have no dog in this race but as per pension docs (namely WSIB) performance looks absolutely stellar, doubly so when compared to the other 2019-2022 shitty quartiles Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 I guess you can call it a semi-target. great for the south. OP wants to work in NYC and Cornell will take him farther. I'm only trying to help the kid. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Good question, it was most definitely because of the pace. I’ll preface my time in a private credit internship was more in a middle office role (front office was for ex-IB guys kinda like PE, they took no interns). Commodity.Chimp
+1 no worries bro. good luck, I'm rooting for you Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Good for you. Hard work pays off. spartacusY
+1 Sr. ASO at $10B+ Fund, 350k all-in, average ~65 hours per week  Pond_Scum
+1 Fwiw - academic literature/research somewhat supports OPs initial claim. It is true that post 2021 the correlation between stock prices and earnings (I.e. fundamentals) is weaker then versus pre-COVID. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Dyson vs. non-Dyson doesn’t matter. It’s completely different than Wharton vs Penn, Ross vs. Mich, Stern vs NYU, etc. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 For the most part, the only AMs who pay close to FO in BB banking are the prestigious US firms (TRowe, Welly, PIMCO etc.) and ofc the AMs within the BBs themselves. nutmegger189
+1 Bump. Would also like to hear of recruiters open to those with Big 4 / similar type of firm backgrounds. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 If you want NYC Cornell seems like the obvious choice. Emory is fantastic in ATL obviously. Just depends on what you want. Keep in mind, $150k goes a LOT further in ATL than in NYC. kiltedlowlander
+1 For f*cking Carlsquare I had to do a three statement model, Teaser and DCF through the different stages back then... absolutley insane... afdhfg
+1 I know a guy who took Jef HC over JPM HC lol. It's Jef's strongest NYC group so I think the appeal is you get a ton of reps on the MM stuff but they also compete for larger deals.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Slooooooooooooop CRE
+1 Comp is lower than the big US houses. Prestige is lower but it's definitely viewed as a decent shop. nutmegger189
+1 I snagged some tights from Janji - they are awesome. Highly recommend if you are looking for cold weather running gear.  Addinator
+1 This is nuts, congrats man midwestern chimp
+1 It's just dumbass game theory where companies think they're getting better talent. Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 Probably similar role as Citi and Bofa for Paramount. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Nice recruiterbase marketing bro! Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Fund size / strategy: LMM Buyout (T2 city)Role / YoE: VP1Base: 175Bonus (cash): 175Carry: (Yes/No, vested %, realistic value if any): $1.25M DAW. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Haven’t they been shit for years? I worked under someone who had been an associate there and he was worse than the worst intern (nepo hire at the firm we both worked at, not nepo at MDB) 1AB
+1 Network network network. The off cycle processes that I was able to get into weren’t advertised and I only found out about them through connections that knew about them. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I am trying to do chief of staff / first ops hire type roles so it is a bit less structured (not reliant on HHs). Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 People posted here like they were the goats... Prospect in HF - Macro
+1 being down 7% when your substitute competition is up ~10% is existential Analyst 3+ in HF - Event
+1 5000 line models and 6 day work week feels good for people to lionize Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 He didn’t. He’s closing the fund and has a 2 year sit out quiet period
+1 going into 4th year.... my pay seems criminally low compared to market Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Gifts for your mum dcfdestroying
+1 VP at MM Firm: Plan to be fully remote the last two weeks of the year. CEO in IB - Gen
+1 can you provide me ways that i can be a giver? anony2026
+1 What have they done historically? Are there public comps in the market? If so, how many can they do in a year? How many employees does it take to accomplish that? overandout
+1 I do think the AI wave is more than LLMs which we use at the moment. odog @digitalimmortality.com
+1 Anyone have any insight on P72 ventures and BAM Elevate specifically? Works at McKinsey and Co
+1 I'll try to give some bullet point ideas instead of going over all the in depth relationship theory usernameladiesman217
+1 Generally non-competes are only enforced if you are leaving voluntarily, meaning the general path is "you get offer from competing firm who is willing to wait out your full noncompete before you start". PM in HF - Macro
+1 x zbebeeez
+1 Massive balance sheet that allows them to screen large deals across debt and equity. On the debt side, they consistently evaluate transactions for top sponsors like Blackstone, Brookfield, KKR, and Bain. carriedinterestfan
+1 Prospect in HF - Macro
+1 I feel like I just don’t know where to start and how to navigate it now because it feels like everything i’ve been doing is bothersome on his end. anony2026
+1 This caveat when it comes to direct SF routes like 18X is very important. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Thanks for hosting this. I'm a sophmore who's currently a non target transferring to Baruch next spring. Also want to get into the commodities space. Substack_Guy
+1 For what it's worth (and I'm a little cynical about these awards), Andrei Milekhin (the head of that team) won "M&A Banker of the Year" in February 2025 at the TMT M&A Award Executive Director in IB - Cov
+1 5 years - I got my MBA as well, but I only went because I got a full scholarship. Manager in CorpStrat
+1 ojapar20 Ozymandia
+1 Depends heavily on the type of consulting. Associate 3 in HF - Event
+1 Congrats on EVR M&A! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Group has never been restructured since its inception (when the head of the team was poached from TPG). The team has historically been (and still is today) the largest team at the associate, VP, and MD level. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Curious to hear other’s thoughts on how this will affect UMM, MM, and LMM lending - anyone have any opinion? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 on one hand, you have a bland film studio that films everything overseas to save moeny, and on the other hand, you get the censorship from saudis and qataris so lovely! win win for none of the consumers Intern in CorpStrat
+1 In case anyone falls  for this and actually considers recruiterbase, search it in the forums. EVERY single post is made by "intern in corpfin" who is probably the founder desperate for clicks Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Rothschild regional offices work on big deals. Manchester office ran Spectris alongside the London Industrials Team since the head of Manchester of heads up subset of business services. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Looking at what you're getting out of a relationship is kind of a poor thing to do IMO. usernameladiesman217
+1 On departure you will be instructed to notify them if you are going to begin employment elsewhere during the non-compete period. Your new employer will also ask for proof that you have been released. MMPM
+1 Bump sickgig
+1 Generally not EBs, Rothschild is an EB in Europe but not US. Gugg would be the closest one to an EB, but is probably not in that category. scrounging14
+1 I still feel like Greenhill places quite well no? Have seen great UMM + a handful of MF placements from them. Or is GHL just dead in the water atp.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Really appreciate you adding this! That’s a great point and honestly something I hadn’t fully thought about from that angle. L_M_33
+1 One hedge fund goes down, another one pops up lim12
+1 Glad to hear that an incoming IB analyst is very worried about what his days as an MM HF PM will look like lol Benson Says
+1 Just say deals like a normal person. Don't just say broadly business or finance because it's not specific to IB. The big no's to mention are comp and hours. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Are you familiar with the concept of a country? Murphy_1827
+1 This makes no sense lol, you are literally saying I don't care if you are competent, I only care about your school, but the reason people typically care about pedigree is that they think it has a higher correlation with co topchimp4352
+1 Also I'm seeing in your model output screenshot that you've left out cash from non-operating asset– fix this apemango
+1 Have been in the business for 15 years. erwannabe
+1 A lot of the top scaled pods running multi billion dollar books do indeed wait for the long term and have relatively lower levels of book churn Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Woodline Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Disagree. They recently advised on the OpenAI restructuring and were involved with the CoreWeave IPO. Still very relevant and would not go as far to say any bb/eb over them. incompetent nerd
+1 Spreadsheet Sasquatch: hbwesttoeast
+1 What is your mile run time, max pullups, mile swim, etc? At face value, I don't know if you're athletic/fit enough to justify not going the officer route. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 I went through something similar. You should absolutely renege the Ops internship. Your career comes first and having a real sophomore summer can help with junior summer recruiting a ton. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 For people not in the accelerated Insights day process, has anyone had there first round for regular SA 27 NY I had my intro call in early December.  9898cabo
+1 im 29 and don't make nearly close to $375k  Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 no Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 How about the ease of moving back to PE from RX consulting? Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 no Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 GS HK is also like that. Should network hard to get placement in good desks. THat said, S&T, especially rotational interns it's not really a chance to contribute substantially to the desk. Associate 1 in S&T - FI
+1 This is the content I come here for PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+1 UBS AuraFarmer
+1 Do you speak any of the major languages? I worked in REPE in London and now Miami. Used to live in Geneva (worked in a different industry) and my wife is Swiss.  [email protected]
+1 Confirmed for 27 SA? Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Share the name here, i'm sure he'll appreciate the free publicity dcfdestroying
+1 Would say they’ve been sinking for the past few years but attempt to hold on to that “old money bank.” Just not winning many big mandates. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 no,yes, you should apply if you want to get in.  hutcointraders
+1 Just went through rec as an international CVP NY sponsors I got an offerLazard NY sponsorsDucera and Raine sponsor on a case by case basis Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge

+1 Got it. Appreciate you sharing your experience. ConstantlyDistressed
