Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 I just think they’re screwing the incoming class and it doesn’t make me happy that they waited a year to do it Intern in IB - Gen
+1 What does the associate hiring process look like for MF asia offices? Do they prioritize PE analyst experience, GS/MS HK or BB/EBs in the US for the 2 years? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Prob LO AM but those seats require CFA+MBA and are really rare. wuandale33
+1 I see your point, but do those giants actually have a footprint in CEE? Moelis, Centerview, and Eastdil are major players in London and Paris, but they typically don't look at anything sub-€100m. Rauu44
+1 Investment Analyst in CB CRE
+1 Senior VP in CorpDev Works at Goldman Sachs
+1 Definitely UBS. I think especially since you have a BB offer lined up it would make the most sense to come into your junior summer with some serious experience under your belt. LBOneKenobi
+1 Let me guess - you use the free version of ChatGPT and think it's indicative of the frontier LLM models? Newspeak
+1 If TX value mattered more than avg deal size then EY would beat GUGG and Natixis beats Qatalyst in your twisted schizo scenario. esdeekid67
+1 MM AS2 --> AS3 Base: $200K --> $225K Bonus: $180K All-in Comp: $380K Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I'm going to point / cap. This is insanely accurate. StockEnjoyer
+1 Depends on your allocated commute time. Paddington is a nice place IMO and you should be able to get to the Kingsway campus in under 30 mins. That can also be doable from Maida Vale. stayfrosty1337
+1 A macro / rates pm might look to hire a desk analyst at the 2-5 year mark. iku22
+1 Nah, you're not shit out of luck, or at least not any more than anyone else is. Your background is fine, and sure an MRED/MSRE would help, but the biggest problem is just the market right now. CRE
+1 no, some places will prorate you at 110k or whatever and so you just get paid monthly the same number the analyst is making. Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr
+1 You’ve got the wrong guy bud Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I’m in PE at a MF. Your reasoning makes sense. Senior VP in PE - LBOs
+1 I think the central problem with that idea is that it's starting to look awfully close to communism. neil88
+1 M Klein with 1 deal worth $103bn??? And who tf are redbird advisors Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Bump jkvbdgeorbsn
+1 Following Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 In your view, are companies rewarding or punishing juniors who (ab)use AI too much? Soros_
+1 Pretty sure he meant no tie, top button unbuttoned. Not like a full unbuttoned shirt… CRE Credit
+1 Two issues here: neil88
+1 Firstly,Congrats on getting four internships. I mean hell that's dedication from freshman year. Won't fault you for that. Substack_Guy
+1 Hi, is this still true? What’s the updated corporate bank reputation now pigearth122
+1 PJT RSSG too low. PJTesus
+1 Keep the DEI Bettys where they belong in M&A. Restructuring is still a sacred space. PJTesus
+1 You got this bro Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Not idea, they seem like a clear JAMMBO from the outside tbh, just very good JAMMBO investors who have seemingly been great at add-ons / bringing down EBITDA multiples through multiple arbritage. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 you are getting replaced whether you like it or not. if you really were "superior" this wouldn't happen. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Stub bonuses are pretty mediocre for year 0s at BBs due to name discount (GS/JPM/MS). BofA pays dogshit because BofA. JamieDimonkey
+1 Risk and Compliance are two places I've seen a lot of good traders start out at. Trade support as well.  Substack_Guy
+1 Time will tell. I wish you strength in the wars to come. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 Biggest way I changed my work habits is to pause before I do something (for maybe a minute) and think of the absolute most efficient way I’m going to do something, especially if it’s repetitive. seekinthealpha1
+1 The personalty type of a PE person and an IB person are very different. I do not like pure sales - I like technical sales (i.e. product specific, value-add). SeekingAlpha180
+1 Not the original disagreer up there. Some of of your views are reasonable opinions that I agree others may share. But some are outdated/stale, and some flat out objectively incorrect. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Bump Analyst 1 in CB
+1 Username checks out Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Really appreciate your feedback. Would you be able to share any insight on the MM opportunities that are still in process? davidli10
+1 Congrats on BMO!  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 AmSec is the BMO of the MM world. It's also just not a UMM. I understand you Canadians are weirdly proud of your crappy banks, but nobody in the US respects the Canadian banks. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 DB is the worse UBS whether that be historical reputation (historically DB has been viewed as the worst BB), exits, or historical America's deal flow. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 FYI, it genuinely takes years of grinding before you can get to a position where having a good year will pay out. The years of grinding are truly a slog with very little guarantee of you making it. (i.e. Analyst 2 in HF - Macro
+1 HSG probably have the advantage because it's a Swiss university, but HEC remains top notch everywhere else. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Bonuses man WSoMonkey93
+1 MS office does suck. Nothing like watching homeless fighting while you wait for your uber at 4am :) mara20
+1 Associate 3 in PE - OtherActive deal experience in an underwriting group will always trump an asset management role. Or at least it should… VP in PE - Other
+1 The universe itself is very small and the list of credible investors is even smaller.  If you're thinking mining buyside, I would encourage looking at funds that invest across the cap stack.  Rabbit
+1 Appian had a solid rep and is one of a small handful of reasonably good firms in the space PM in HF - Event
+1 I was joking but clearly it didn’t land kms mrjackpots
+1 1000%. Ha, should: 1) make a spreadsheet of the HR ones and file a class action Capital of Structure
+1 Which MFs are active in SEA and what’s the reputation of each? Associate 1 in Private Credit
+1 congrats on evercore GDUDs
+1 should be a bunch of spanish people my guess that moved together maybe boib_1
+1 I work at a boutique middle market investment bank in a Tier 2 city. We typically leave the office around 7pm during the weekdays and have limited work on the weekends. Mr.FinanceGuy7
+1 Dumb idea. 0 shot anyone sponsors you for this. Having the 86/87 won’t help you recruit for ER anyway. You have to be basically retarded not to pass them so you wouldn’t even impress anyone on the hiring side Benson Says
+1 AI "sucks" in legacy projects where you have undocumented context and decisions scattered about within the people working there jim3
+1 Congrats on MIT! Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Michael Nessim. Who is the other one?  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 If you are a persist 2 Sharpe PM, why would you be doing YouTube videos :) That's why you learn "efficient market hypothesis" in college finance class that is totally useless. The useful stuffs are not public. Discretionary Global Macro PM
+1 love some good Richard Toad slander  Mike_wacczowski76
+1 Pretty long hours but strong comp. Would recommend if you can get in. Analyst 3+ in RE - Comm
+1 Technically, TN isn’t considered sponsorship. Only H1B is.  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 This is a good point - I've used AI in a lot of ways, but you still have to check what it does. Invalid_CREdentials
+1 What does comp / lifestyle / responsibilities look like for this type of role?  (PE BD) MnIGuy
+1 Artificial value creation that worked out well during ZIRP. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Why everyone talks about Excel? In my internships I definitely spend more time in PP to prepare slides... Pitch decks, CIM... I never touched a model during my first... afdhfg
+1 Bump wheydgahwhd
+1 Trump can go through a republican controlled congress to pass tarrifs. All tarifs weren't made illegal, the president just cannot unilaterally set tariffs. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 no there were 4 waves. recruiting went well into march  Anonymous Monkey
+1 also how do you know? Anonymous Monkey
+1 no offense, idk why black people get preferences over asians in IB roles during interviews and why they have 4 slots aimed towards DEI.. like bro... we're fucking smarter retard. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 My question is always ProbablyEngAnyway

+1 They crushed last cycle in my market... second above. ThatGuyBalls
+1 Spoken like a true bottom bucket analyst Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 you have to be slightly retarded. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 The data in that JPM deck shows that whites are 33% of the junior levels, and there is an even distribution, making white women 16% of the incoming class.  How does that show white women are unfairly advantaged? Soros_
+1 holy get back to your job at stifel lil bro. ur opinion means nothing to anybody Intern in IB - Restr
+1 The kids who are JPM interns and juniors are grunts today but will be leaders the of JPM and other financial services companies in the future. Soros_
+1 Great well listen switzerland has the highest salaries in europe. IF you find a job there you will never leave. France is against foreigners and don't speak English. HSG is the best school to find a job in Switzerland. boib_1
+1 Great program with an awesome ROI for students. I did not do the program but have some friends that did and they said you need a strong level in maths or you will struggle. boib_1
+1 Pjt? Partner in Consulting
+1 Most people who go into A&M's restructuring group aren't interested in transitioning elsewhere. They get compensated well and usually aren't risk-takers interested in being a principal investor. eyt23
+1 avoid at all cost. With lower intern pay, no point in doing Wells appleidappleid
+1 Strong also! boib_1
+1 Intern in IB-M&AI was asked if I was working part time when leaving at 1:30am so there's always worse Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yo, Let us know who's got those aspen offices! PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+1 Bump, end of Feb had 3 Sds no offers.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 No. Recruiting is a lagging indictator and it has a very long lag time (i.e. look at GHL; which was practically non-exsistent in M&A for years but still had UMM/MF exits). Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 didnt MOE send 10 to MFs this year? Intern in IB - Restr
+1 I'm in a similar situation at 28yo, I make 800k$/y at SMHF (not a big name) but I always wanted to get the pod shop experience with sharp people who love the game. CopperStone
+1 I second Default, that’s a fascinating read and it makes you appreciate how orderly the bankruptcy process is. big_dawg
+1 Did he get kudos for working thru a collapsed lung at least waysky20
+1 I interviewed this week and my spd is next week Amf72
+1 It’s about per capita exits and choice of opportunity. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Yea ur getting skull fucked buddy. My CVP / PWP / EVR interviews were all fucking brain teasers, mental math, and 5 step accounting questions. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
