+1 Real response here is get the sony over ears -  sony wh-1000xm6. Best in class noise cancellation and call quality with no background noise. I have the xm5s and these are the newer ones. Raijin
+1 For me It’s because i just get along so much more with other Europeans (esp. italians as an Italian). Our culture is very different from British culture and I quite struggle to bond with English people Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 it’s a Superday for both IB and CB candidates schmonke
+1 Awesome, thanks nontargetmonkay
+1 3x / 1 month then to 1x / 1-2 months now. VP in Consulting
+1 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Varies case by case. Looking to exit post-analyst years to PE / HF / CorpDev? Your analyst firm will play a role in how your recruitment processes shake out. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 your misunderstanding the term "generalist" i think. Normally, that means your still in M&A but not with a specific team... like you will work with different M&A industries throughout your time. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 From my understanding, it looks like for some of these banks, you are interviewing under a general umbrella of “investment banking”, which describes it as interns receiving the offer and afterwards networking into whether moneymilken
+1 Market volatility destroys M&A & IPO deal flow but encourages cap market activity (refis, follow on, etc.). Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Second comment in this thread recently saying how  analyst can generate 8 figures and  calling out numbers that do not generate 8 figures. qnt12345
+1 I’m a banker it’s my job to always spin it as a positive thing ;), nonetheless that’s good nuance. liquidiot
+1 P sure Thursday of next week newyorkfatrat
+1 BYU grad and ex-BB IB placement here. Associate 2 in PE - Growth
+1 Holy shit, can they please release results already, it’s been a week Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 By the way I think I came to the answer. It’s 1000% worth it to both set these calls up and ask/show interest about the summer 2027 internship. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 The loudest people in the group chat are usually the worst analysts on the desk. Focus on your finals. Once those are done, you can catch up on the technicals in like 3 days if you’re smart about it. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 DM me, I know both well jjywm
+1 From what I've heard about other CB firms (source: talked with an analyst on WF CB), techs would be mostly basic accounting (how the three financial statements connect, how a change in depreciation affects the three statem Prospect in CB
+1 mon Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Did both unis, would tend towards HEC to be honest. You will likely find a Summer in Sept with HEC if you have a decent CV, so no need for a second try one year later. jjywm
+1 First of all thanks for responding. Wow so you did HSG bachelor + HEC MIF. Actually the dream combo. Congrats! When you say I can secure a summer internship with HEC, are you thinking Zurich or London? BiggestMonkey21
+1 BUUUUUUMMMMMMPPPPP Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Congrat! What's the program you applied to? Also, can I DM you for a bit questions? Thank you! WeiLeqian
+1 Anybody hear back / know anything about the Global Technology Program (27 summer)? Seems like a new program, no info on the Internet. WeiLeqian
+1 Not the bank cibc-CIB is just a division banks have for corporate and institutional banking gejjl
+1 Is it all of BB IB or some groups only? Like would someone from a non GIG/Levfin group at UBS have the same ease / be viewed the same as someone from PJT RSSG to get into distressed PE, based off this? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 If not going for a PhD, your best option is the Quant Trading job at a prop trading firm. Try to avoid the market making side and aim to get placed on a slower team if you eventually want to move to a hedge fund.  PM in HF - Other
+1 Did you do your SD today or yesterday? DungeonMaster
+1 Anyone from PFG heard back after 2nd round? aggihc
+1 Agreed with the prior comments. These people are trying to flaunt their preparation as a way to cope for them feeling nervous and underprepared. Dolla Bill Stern
+1 blessed with an insightful comment from Isaiah. I agree.  hutcointraders
+1 Does most of your analyst class come from Stern? wuandale33
+1 As someone who worked in IB, Corp dev, and PE, I’d recommend you to do IB to star your career. Lots to learn and friends to make Green Zeus
+1 Doesn’t hurt to catch up imo. You can mention you landed an offer if you are concerned about the optics Green Zeus
+1 Scotia NY lost all relationship managers in a year and currently has no senior banker on that team Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Joined MMHF directly from IB. I don’t think PE would have given me any marginal benefit into public markets investing given they really are quite different. beethovenvirus
+1 Do you log back on from home? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Just got one for next week today mrninjadood
+1 agreed - ik thats my plan as well can never hurt to know people. just make sure you stay in touch with your contacts here and there evzieailwkdo
+1 A lot of bitching and crying by femcels today on LinkedIn over GS’ decision. Now you know all of them are DEI Beckies, right from 22yr old to 60yr old grandma in C-suite. They hate men and pitch white men vs. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 fuku Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 .. starwars1234
+1 to be brutally honest, I've seen a lot of people of a particular race that abused this power over the past few years and believe it or not, some of them go to an Ivy league school who end up applying for IB SAs. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 PU&I co-head Andrew Rosenbaum seems like a nice guy; came to my school a few times for recruiting events and coffee chats in the past 6mo. I've spoken with him 1:1 or in small groups for at least 45min total. Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+1 Canadian at mbb Chicago. Chicago is a much bigger office and given you are already at Kellogg/Booth, it makes a lot of sense to recruit Chicago and get a US salary. You can always move back to Toronto later. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 port ops is important. and honestly depending on what role you really could move to asset management or if its loan portfolios, underwriting. fuku
+1 I feel like this is pretty common? Especially if they are taking freshmen/sophomores who otherwise would have a hard time finding summer internships. apetrynamakeit
+1 You only made $30k less than MM first year associates at your old office. Probably for the best that you didn’t ask to come back after your offer got rescinded Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 ranking MBB is crazy ranking Bain as #1 is even crazier putting S& and EYP so high is just as crazy Prospect in Consulting
+1 Holy cow, the placement does seem to be way better than reported. Vanderbilt looks to be on a huge upward trajectory, especially with the new NYC campus. blackbird_
+1 Probably cultural fit and motivation: tell me about yourself, why are you studying x, why real estate, why did you reach out to this firm, any deals interest you, (soft technical) what sector would you invest in right now. Investment Analyst in PE - Other
+1 Wells . id only take DB if it was LevFin  Analyst 1 in IB - DCM
+1 40 hour work weeks unpaid? All of my internships prior to landing my junior SA have been paid, doing all that for free is insane invessttr
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know: MF PE Analyst Recruiting Timeline: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Just keep grinding. I know it sounds too simple to be true but if you’ve done everything right or are just unlucky keep playing the numbers game. I was in a worse position than you before I landed my BB offer. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Here’s what high performers in finance have shared about building structure and maintaining productivity while working remotely or in a hybrid setup: Create a Physical Workspace: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 What is CIM?What is their source of capital? Particularly interested in their real estate business. Raising from HNW/ insurance/ pension plans?? What’s their NYC office culture? Gordon_C
+1 TD above BMO lol, congrats on TD! esdeekid67
+1 I’ve heard anecdotally that you hit a mil at the top LO AM (capital, t Rowe, Fido, Wellington) year 5 post mba, and that you tap out as a career analyst closer to 1.5mil. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 You could probably apply for S&T summers nutmegger189
+1 What about ESE AND EUR ( Erasmus school of economics and Erasmus University Rotterdam)?  rayyanmohd
+1 Hey, thanks for your response.  SaintK
+1 LBS by far is the best option, as long as you actually make the most of it (network like crazy). Investment Analyst in PE - LBOs
+1 I wouldn't worry too much, I'm at a similar shop. VP in Consulting
+1 is it technicals or you’re just a bot or? nqeu1
+1 I don't think Altman Solomon / ClearView are comparable to the rest of your list since they're very industry specific.  Business School in CorpStrat
+1 If you have any inklings of wanting to make a career in IB, the exposure to a suite of products* (thanks ANL1) at a BB will set you up much better. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Yes - this is normal. Honestly, even 150K is higher than average. Don't forget that the average VC is not coming from IB/PE...it's mostly SWE or consultants, where $150K is not a major paycut. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Wrong. Even top tier ones don't pay as much (presuming they are a pureplay VC). Multi-stage is a better indicator. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Good observation. Angus Macgyver
+1 Lmao my VP joined a Portco call (was not important) from the delivery room with his wife and newborn child. You could literally hear his hours old daughter crying in the background. PE is paradise Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 You're not cooked, but you do need to act fast and strategically. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you should focus on: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 While ur still in college try to use excel on your classwork and use that as an opportunity to get better with excel. Practice one shortcut a day (at least) and you’ll pick it up quick! seekinthealpha1
+1 The last point is very key. AI is incredible if you know how to do things the “analogue” way. Otherwise AI is useless as you won’t know what’s right and what’s wrong or how to interpret AI’s work product. Generic Banker
+1 Late stage, go to PE, early stage go join a start up that takes off and gain operating experience. Get out of consulting though, I only know one VC that was in consulting and it was a tech group at MBB.  Determined
+1 Agree very much so. I will say that if you are moving from PE to IB, assuming you were not a PE analyst, you should be in the position for Senior Associate/Associate roles. PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+1 Hurts your brand more to be fast and wrong than slower and correct. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks for the reply! From your experience, what is the most common level of experience at which people jump from sell-side S&T at a bank to a macro HF? Analyst 1 in S&T - Other
+1 Also an incoming analyst, but I can share what worked for me.  VotreFinancier
+1 where could one get their hands on this deck? Mike_wacczowski76
+1 Anonymous Monkey: what’s the wlb like? Assist. VP in PE - Other
+1 I was commenting on existing measures. Economic conditions is the best way forward.  Director in IB - Cov
+1 You are crashing kids dream mostly based on HBO or Netflix series.  They all believe people managing them are in fact all qualified and skilled! Goldi
+1 Bowdoin's been going crazy. Might as well be considered a target after last years and this years performance Prospect in IB - Cov

+1 Hi Shavedpistachio, I work in the industry and wouldn't mind helping any way I can. Not any specific resources as every firm is different in how they approach maintenance, residual values, remarketing, etc.  ritchiearlen
+1 How much do you know about renewables, fossil fuels and sectors of o&g a7789
+1 Damn wish the best to u and good luck! gejjl
+1 If they are a boutique, they are probably not going to post it until you are closer to or have started the internship. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 As in going from a BB vp to a MM director and so fourth Intern in IB - Cov
+1 To a little smaller firm that can use the expertise PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+1 Thanks mate, broke it down perfectly for me, this was really helpful. So I just need to support another team then, maybe i should just support Man U. DeleAlli211
+1 I'm on a slightly higher than Tier 6/7 firm (according to this list) and can comment on the smaller group dynamic since my firm is tiny, but growing headcount. Lester Freamon
+1 Anonymous Monkey: Whey2Leveraged
+1 VPs on my team pull all nighters FYI. Previously worked at a Megafund and the VPs were pulling brutal hours as well. Green Zeus
+1 MBB Consulting, as well as many prop trading firms and hedge funds, do sponsor. Would also recommend looking into product or other corporate positions at large tech companies. Prospect in S&T - FI
+1 BYU grad and I start my IB internship this summer. This is spot on. Broadly speaking, Mormons love it when others take real interest in and have real appreciation for either the religion or the school. jupiter03
