+1 It’s a numbers game. You have to use all the tools available. Still should be personalized given how easy that is with ai. Students at NYU are encouraged to follow up 4-5x as people are busy. grapevine

+1 yes fucking way... I also recruited last year for 26 and my friend got an offer around a week or two from now or before. Also, the person I know that just got offered had severely good networking pulls.. so idk Intern in IB - Cov

+1 Your target locations in Europe make no sense to me. 3 totally disparate places. Madrid has an intense work culture, don’t let the stereotypes fool you, it’s just as bad or worse than LDN & Paris. Murphy_1827
+1 Union pension money. Insane pipeline right now. Feel free to DM I know them well. Will likely be the tri states biggest developer in the coming years, especially NYC.  Principal in RE - Other

+1 Can confirm... HL wants to try to scoop up top talent before the EB RX's start. Expect superdays/offers in the next few weeks Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 The lack of formal athletic excellence is worrying. State champ wrestlers, d1 football and lacrosse players, competitive swimmers, all wash out of buds. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 How are they giving out offers this quick thought the earliest would be Jan 15 with there early insights program. Any insights on turnover time after R1? 9898cabo
+1 Ya, honestly was very chill.  9898cabo
+1 There are some roles that are more “strategy” oriented but that usually turns into making board decks and investor decks. Things that the CEO of any sub series B company should be doing themselves. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Brain dead recruiting practices, high turnover, MD getting poached by other EBs... Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 OP probably is  retired at this point lol. Substack_Guy
+1 JPM/GS for BB, CVP for EB Research Analyst in Research - Other
+1 This lmao gdogmoney
+1 I did 1 year of IB, absolutely hated it, went to Army OCS, did 3 years in a very vanilla military unit, got into HBS, did the Blackstone military transition program and am in an infinitely better seat now. BR1993
+1 you're mixing up ACV and TCV  salesperson makes $100 TCV booking / 5 year contract = $20 ACV booking  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Don’t know too much. I know there’s been a lot of postings for it, definitely trying to build out more. I know there’s FSG team runs leaner as well, just don’t have much color into those groups Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 This post will be a good time capsule of how people thought prior to the dot com bubble two Quran hai tu crash. ARR is this generation’s version of “clicks” from the first dot com bubble.  mkaypowlo
+1 Apply your same learning methods from school as you would for technical prep. Active recall, practicing problems, etc. innatecookies
+1 Amazing comp. Congrats! Would you mind sharing your comp progression from around 6 or 8 years of experience to where you are today? VP in PE - Other
+1 A3, promoted 250 new base / 250bonus Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Bofa for Restaurant/Franchising/MUO deals. Boxwood & Northpoint are strong in the MM for Franchising & Restaurant. Piper Sandler is very strong as well.  S+ Tier Bank
+1 Brochacho you’re talking like a bottle-service warlord while making $180K to be a spreadsheet janitor for MDs who don’t know your name. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 To provide you with details, my partner is 32 and has recently started working in IB. Before he used to work as an accountant in CITI but didn’t enjoy the work so he changed directions. anony2026
+1 Be ready by sophomore summer for junior internship apps; junior summer for full-time. Can open as early as July or as late as October, depending on whether they do two rounds Intern in Consulting
+1 power, telecoms Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 What specifically is taking so long? Coding and reconciliation should take around 30-60 minutes per job, depending on the draw contents. It could take 10 minutes too.  CRE
+1 Personally I'd stop worrying about an exit op and do your best to absolutely crush your internship.... greystar is the exit opp. The job market is beyond brutal - you don't want to be stuck recruiting. Prospect in RE - Comm
+1 People hate to lose more than they love winning, but being able to win and watch the downfall of someone else probably tickles the right part of the brain  Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Where have you seen that HEC MIF lasts 16 months? BiggestMonkey21
+1 Yeah that's my point. If one already has more than 6 months experience, MSc in London makes sense. Otherwise, it doesn't. davideathnote02
+1 You are the man spartacusY
+1 They’re down in a market where virtually all peers are having years somewhere between decent and great, not to mention the bull market across many asset classes. Principal in HF - Event
+1 looking at your post history... I think you have a lot to worry about before thinking about this hypothetical question...   Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 "Ravitheja" Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I emailed, they said they're still reviewing apps and will share updates once decisions have been made- seems they are just genuinely delayed shadow182838
+1 More. I need 4 to get into lowe MM IB from one of the best schools we have here. Even that MM internship was a direct recomendation from my B4 M&A Partner. afdhfg

+1 This deal is definitely huge. Regulators will likely scrutinize it closely due to potential antitrust concerns, especially around market consolidation and control of streaming content. Michiegeo
+1 thebrofessorI do mentor regularly, though all of its unofficial Michiegeo
+1 I didn’t exactly ask anyone maybe because in my country gifting during Christmas is not a tradition. We tend to just cook lots of meals, share and everyone is just together vibing. Michiegeo
+1 Honestly, it’s easy. Let her go. If you push ahead and try to marry her, it could end up being a nightmare anyway. It’s not your fault you’re attracted to her and it’s not her fault you feel this way. Michiegeo
+1 I dont think WB sponsors brochacho per their application website randomfreshmanguyuva
+1 This is crazy high comp for 6 YOE. What’s your trajectory been like since graduation? Big congrats! Have you been at your firm since graduating? VP in PE - Other
+1 Does the work involve a lot of talking to clients? Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Unless you have family ties to the area, I don't see how they're retaining junior talent in Newport if comp is really below market. Associate 2 in Private Credit
+1 Greystar on your resume will not hold you back.  Developer in RE - Res
+1 A copypasta that after a google search only you and one other guy talking about Villanova who you lifted it from have said. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Top ten b-school, 3.7gpa, interviewed for IB, went to work at BofA’s Lev Fin group then moved over to large buy side re firm and eventually now at family office. palm_beach_ll
+1 Can’t speak to what you are getting, but as an MBA student at NYU, they will provide templates to students to use when reaching out. You might be getting a less effort version but likely the generic email they have. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 Wow, that's amazing man! Great stuff, you are by all means crushing it What are your hours like and how old are you if you don't mind me asking? hedgehog9
+1 Yes. For my firm, each level’s base is set and doesn’t grow, but the bonus each year is supposed to (in theory). Then your base jumps with each promotion. VP in PE - Other
+1 Good culture but when I was recruiting A2s didn't have any deals closed and they haven't returned summer interns last couple years Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Thank you! PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 They all have long horns for the longhorns. I'll show myself out dcfdestroying
+1 Wow, this sounds really tough for a superday. Hope you managed to secure an offer at least! zeil
+1 UT is a top state school and NW is a t10 theyre completely different kinds of schools Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Genuine question. Why not just network and throw money into deals. Will take some networking. Sounds easier than being an operator. Can invest in anything at that point. You have a massive salary. Sounds like nyc tho. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 What I've typically seen is a takeout after a certain amount of time after CofO, likely with some liability tail for the developer. CRESF
+1 Is morgan stanley a top place? Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Normally, I would say just sharing your rating (verbally) is enough, but the fact that your rating alone  doesn’t appropriately capture your differentiation makes me reconsider. SaaSChimp
+1 On campus recruiter said they do for 2027 cafetero1492
+1 perella does the same. know a girl from northeastern who got picked up even though shes from a non target she was fucking cracked and got picked up super early. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I mean accepting students into the SA class is broken down into subsections. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 mate I'm an (in my opinion old, getting dangerously close to end of my 20's) assoc... I've graduated a few years ago I don't have an opinion on that anymore... DACH-Fan
+1 . jpmonkey554433
+1 i’d bet that it’s a list of accomplishments just kidding the fuck is that 😭 anon18268281
+1 Core restructuring deals with the operational side of turnaround/bankruptcy. That includes dealing with cash flow, vendor negotiations, etc. Anonymous RX Associate
+1 For ACT, 30 is concerning; strongest candidates will be 32-33+. SaaSChimp
+1 helped by the loads of rich parents sending their kids down to austin for the football/frats/beer. More kids with nepo connections help boost those numbers up. Admin putting a ton of money into it doesn't hurt either. malcaltent
+1 I see massive incentive problems. virginiagoffredi
+1 You will likely join as an associate 1 with the people that did 2 years and have a harder time recruiting because there is a stigma you are “broken goods”. Tommy-Cruise
+1 Trying to do that right now post MBA but have no idea where to go after consulting =/. I guess I need to find the recruiters in the industry I like that covers portco managment / operating partner hiring for PE firm. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Yeah I’ve posted a few stories about him, and I have plenty more to drop when applicable. Far and away the most eccentric person I’ve ever worked with. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Very true, UT attracts a lot more nepos recently since they can save money by going to school in the south. That’s kind of also how pipelines get built though, similar trend at SMU. Research Analyst in Research - Other
+1 They aren't, lol Associate 1 in AM - FI
+1 This is straight up not true:SMU has way more nepo types (esp in Houston O&G), and UT McCombs has gotten way harder to get into. wuandale33
+1 Plenty of opportunities. Some will say you don't fit the cookie cutter they're looking for and that's fine. Plenty of people happy to hire someone with more experience. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Worth mentioning that with the guy who suggested earlier, its a slightly time sensitive meeting. Don't know if otherwise he wouldn't have pushed.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I'm not sure how much luck you'll have with this or if its what you want, but I know a lot of the PE megafunds (I remember seeing Carlyle in particular) are looking for capital formation people focused on the PWM sector. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 The less you check LinkedIn, the better. It is hard to think of a more embarrassing social media app. Just keep your shit up and don’t bother to look at it more than once a quarter.  CRE
+1 Funny as hell. Look at the ratio then you’ll know, freshman. Nearly all of them are Hispanic. For sure they are hardos from investment team, nepos, and athletes. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Jeffries is one of the worst place to be as an junior. Yeah a lot of MD went there because they are senior people. As a junior you get burned out at a MM bank with average deal quality. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Workflow - Depends on your shop's product capabilities but usually decent flow consisting on Term Loans, Warehouse Facilities, JOLs and JOLCOs for financing. NonStandardBanker
+1 Jokes on them. I use ai agents to screen resumes, schedule calls, and speak to candidates. My agent makes me sound like DMX and occasionally barks like a pitbull  Director in IB - Gen
+1 HES/CVX was $55B alone, EVR was never sniffing that deal. There are levels to this bro.  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 If you're going to lie, at least have the facts straight.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Are you at a crossover fund / MF VC / smaller venture growth fund etc?  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Use a blacklight and see them covered lmao. Mr. Piss-covered keyboard over here dcfdestroying
