+1 yes Research Analyst in AM - Other
+1 We would not consider someone from Eastdil. From my experience, large investment managers that have other strategies (corporate PE, L/S, etc) typically recruit from the same pool of banks for RE too. young__money
+1 Not accurate, poster doesn’t get it. Entirely possible and common. Anchor
+1 GS/JPM for BBs Citi was also an exclusive advisor on the $33bn Mars deal that just closed this week so would say they are upcoming too (GS on the other side) VP in IB - Cov

+1 I like GS's The Markets whenever they have a new episode ILOVEBANANAS123

+1 The good thing is that if someone is too busy to reply after the 5th follow up, they are usually too busy to complain about it to other people. local_finance_bro
+1 LBS is miles ahead of Bayes so from a pedigree POV, not comparable at all. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I think it is first worth talking to your superiors about the dilemma you face and your desire to continue to progress professionally. CRE
+1 Yes you can.  RE math is not difficult to wrap your head around.   Full Stack
+1 You should probably tell people your background, what types of firms you were at, what you’re up to now etc. Will probably get more interest on this thread that way. kuf135

+1 i went to stern and dont think this is true, this is if you're going out legit every day of the month or going to clubs and pissing your money away. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 The way I was looking at it is was I'm more emotionally inclined to go to LA (and I guess I feel like it'd be weird for USC not to take me since Stern did) but Stern would be more rational and everyone acts like I'm insane reynsia7umr38
+1 Easy in. They increased their cohort size by like 50% recently. I'd try for hec which is a much better program.  Revama69
+1 My background is in mid frequency quant equities though I have managed people that trade other asset classes and horizons PM in HF - Other

+1 Those are great first jobs make sure to prioritize learning over comp for the first few years. PM in HF - Other
+1 I’ll add a more modest datapoint since the comp numbers above are higher than what I or any of my friends in corp dev make. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 I wouldn’t change a thing. palm_beach_ll
+1 It certainly doesn’t hurt — recruiters aren’t going to say no bc you spent time and money getting certified in Argus. palm_beach_ll
+1 I’d rather toss my money in the stock market that has historically outperformed real estate, offers better liquidity, low barriers to entry, and is passive and low maintenance. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Yes but Oxford mfe is the best finance master so I think even though it hard to land an SA from a master with no experience you being at Oxford mfr gives you a decent chance. huhhghhbbgghhh
+1 personality and techs will get you farther than gpa lol. don't stress swerveokay

+1 This has to be a joke Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Realistically they are all the same. This is IB lmao no real intellectual effort required. Just updating existing templates + ER models to supplement  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Santander Grad anyone? utt1212

+1 Best comment on the issue I've read. shortponzilongresources
+1 I believe they are currently trying to recruit half of their first year class but running a really weird process. Probably scared they will lose their whole analyst class in less than 6 months Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 PM in HF - OtherI run a long only strategy on my PA, there is definitely opportunity and have done quite well.  TheFunkyMunky
+1 Thank you for doing this, Sir. TheorPhysicist
+1 Unfortunately the question is very team dependent as your experience can vary significantly. Also, if you have a FT offer from any of them you should just take that unless it’s in a team you really don’t want to be in Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 This gay maths I fixed it for you pbandjpartners
+1 Lets see how FBG goes. I think guys were doubling down on the DIP because they had to, not because they wanted to... Principal in HF - Event
+1 Choose the US. This isn’t even close if you have equal opportunities to do so… Benson Says
+1 I’ve taken a few in the past. Depends on the firm and their buy box, but to occupy 3 hours I’d assume you will need to underwrite a development or some sort of transitional asset (conversion or significant lease up). lonelyparrot
+1 Add statistics. Good understanding of causality and methods for hypothesis testing. PM in HF - Other
+1 Actually Harvard got really strict with their grading literally this year because of some stupid internal drama/power struggle lol like they did a crazy 180 with the grading Jake4432

+1 At either school, placement is dependent on ability. Be committed, inquisitive, network and you’ll get an offer at the respective region for either school. liquidatedpants
+1 Feel free to PM me. I am a combat veteran and medically retired after multiple deployments during the peak of GWOT. I was stopped for my last deployment and was later injured by an IED and medically retired. MeltedIceCube
+1 CPI has had some of their firms hold coffee chats. CPI already did their intro chats earlier in the year when people were expecting on-cycle to be near the start date FYI. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 USC is so much more fun tbh put that into consideration Fog8081
+1 BP Houston TDP is only gas and power, shell also has spots on gas and power desks along with basically every TDP/analyst program in the industry. user12463235
+1 HC is the worst group at WF by far FYI. Works at Wells Fargo
+1 LF is one of WF’s strongest groups, but the capital markets group within LevFin (which btw I don’t think even takes interns) is not one anyone goes to looking for exits. Like IGDCM, you go there to be a career banker. Works at Wells Fargo
+1 Not sure where you heard that HK’s capital markets isn’t great. M&A and IPOs are up massively this year in HK. All the groups at my bank are extremely understaffed by the number of the deals going on. Analyst 1 in S&T - Other
+1 From what I’ve seen, banks are more reluctant to offer it in analyst level than in associate level. gelato_cuspids1d

+1 FIG insurance or banks. gelato_cuspids1d

+1 if you think PIMCO is a hedge fund, you will be more successful in banking. cheers Analyst 3+ in HF - Event
+1 Intern offer rates were around ~80% for IB. Sponsors had the most number of interns like 11 or so they returned less than other groups. IB_Rhino
+1 You are correct. Deal teams will not scale downwards, only upwards. Bigger fee opportunities will often have involvement from continental / US teams. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1  My brother left UBS as a vice president to go to  which offered him  bonus from day one if he would bring so many clients which he did but they did not tell him in 30 days that Bairds was buying out  a boicey99
+1 I would readjust expectations if people said it wasn't good enough. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Recognizing I will die and time is finite. Past a certain total comp I value the marginal dollar less than the marginal minute. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Thank you for this.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Yeah exactly, we basically know if someone doesn’t have a 3.5 or higher they aren’t including it. So we discard instantly. We have interviewed people with 3.5s-3.7s if the rest of their resume is solid Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 This is a job. There can be demand for jobs, but it is a job. kellycriterion
+1 In my view it’s just “legacy”. Jefferies has gotten into the top ranks fairly recently, all the people that went to large cap PE (and that review CVs etc) came from the usual BBs. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 How does lateral scene in the states look like? Quant in HF - Other
