+1 Assist. VP in RE - CommDoes the Founder like to climb mountains? If so I think know the group. Great opp just a big bet on the platform. VP in RE - Res
+1 Sounds pretty similar to my experience and responsibilities. I'm getting 3.0% but on a $500m fund but my cash comp is only $500k (I do have great hours though and don't live in a VHCOL market). Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 The capital markets team is staring at market data, doing market reports, and speaking with debt investors. Works at Wells Fargo
+1 imma PM you icositetragon
+1 They would size me down for sure and I would fight that market should be closer to 2.5% of the $1B. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 If you are currently registered with FINRA, 79, 63, SIE, I am pretty confident you will not be able to do this. Ask your HR about OBA. Would suck to lose a great job for $150 poorbanker212
+1 Makes sense you would want to underwrite the property-level CF for loan constraints/sizing, but 1) why do you need to underwrite the sponsor's CF as well, and even more specifically, their DCF, and 2) what does modeling le Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 go for it First_Lien_Larry
+1 What’s the $ value of a point in the fund? Rule of thumb is 1/3 of comp comes from each of base, bonus, and average annual carry. However, $ value of a point varies by fund. MultifamilyGuy
+1 OzymandiaProspect in RE - Comm Pokemon Master
+1 I am not in NY but that’s where it is tough like in your mind what does a SVP do? I feel like titles are so highly dependent on company I think a better way would be to describe the role / responsibilities you have. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 . monekey11
+1 Offers are out for Houston Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You are generally correct but I know a few people from MBB with 3-4 YOE who left to corporate strategy roles paying ~300K. Senior Consultant in Consulting
+1 Can those family friends pull their connections in the US for you? Know a couple people in CAS who got great offers either through pure grit or more commonly through nepo (i.e. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Seconded the mercenary culture. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Go big green hardcode4u
+1 Listen to Dan Sundheim's latest podcast; if you want to do publics at a top SM your best bet is PE full stop. Your best bet to PE is IB full stop. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks for commenting. I did my internships outside EU/EEA and I'm aware they aren't well recognized in Germany. czqlds
+1 It’s not nothing to do with Oxbridge “falling off” and especially not that they’re “flocking to quant” lol. tedwards128
+1 No I would not ever play this. HF professionals do not need an app to help them “discover new stocks.” Next question Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 I think if your goal is to work in London, then Imperial will give you an advantage with the 2-year visa-free program. BiggestMonkey21
+1 I mean I wouldn’t put my face out there just so I don’t have a Russian group making a replica of me in 10y Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Its over for Indians, cant live In India(apartheid state) and if you leave every 3rd person hates you because of where you were born. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 In my experience a lot of people use NYU housingso that puts you with a bunch of other student interns, with the security of dealing wi braxtonberrios
+1 Love that there are people out there that write shit like this and think “fuck I’m so funny” Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I agree with your sentiment but what you quoted is just an objectively true statement. Bankers are a lot closer to homeless than they are to billionaire status.  Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I went through banking now in PE, schedule all your emails for Jan 6, 10am. No one is responding to networking emails now Tommy-Cruise
+1 Hey man, incoming SA in PubFin here. I saw above that you got placed in project finance because of your business-focused background - If you could restart, would you stick with that vertical or switch to another? laxy
+1 Thanks a lot for taking the time to write such a thoughtful response! Really appreciate the honesty and the level of detail. L_M_33
+1 I think my gut is pretty close then. Might be a 2.0% and grows 0.5% every year or so until you get closer to 5%. CRESF
+1 Echoing this, if you are recruiting for PF right now, I would take these topic areas and have your LLM of choice make a bunch of variations of it. Would also have a friend read out the generated question verbally. laxy
+1 Happy to be corrected, but would think megacap would be 500bn+ and maybe scaled but not megacap would be 100bn - 500bn? Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Few years of IB might help you skip through the junior roles of a large corporate faster, but after that I believe starting to gain the experience across non-M&A corporate functions like FP&A, accounting, treasury, Manager in CorpFin
+1 When I was in IB, I saw Georgetown kids more often by a large factor. Works at Bessemer Venture Partners
+1 A couple issues with your argument. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I think that most DoorDash stuff you see out there is more S&O than true Corporate Strategy. Their pay in S&O also sucks across all levels from what I've seen and has a reputation as being a sweatshop.  TheGrimace
+1 Top of the street comp, high profile exits, and top deal flow? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 . monekey11
+1 IMO it might make more sense to classify based on revenue, since it makes a difference whether you're mostly a vanguard with 500bn charging a few bps versus an LO with 50bn and 1% fees. Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 I'm in large cap PE, already there Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 There are much better schools out there bro that are not full of hardos that will throw you under the bus during recruiting Xhamster02
+1 If this is in reference to traditional Muni-FA work (i.e. Hilltop, PFM, etc.) I can't really speak to it. I have very rarely interacted with FAs in my role.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I heard back last week it's for London M&A group omia
+1 Yeah feel free to message me! grindeveryday
+1 Had S&T few weeks ago followed up still waiting they said to be patient utt1212
+1 I followed up hr before she said they have too many groups and each is separated so I guess they may send out results separately also omia
+1 I agree. You want to work in London, go to London.  hutcointraders
+1 Not the guy you replied to but for context I’m doing one of the grad programs and joining one of those type of teams the brought up. Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 i've seen a wordle for song/album/artists and the hints for those are so niche but they're Ws. Maybe make a ticker one, but then branch off and make a name in finance [undergrad, fun facts, idk] and etc. Bobcat77
+1 The HBS thing you mention is a waste of your time, no matter the circumstances.  hutcointraders
+1 pere797 Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 is this SA or FT? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Absolutely trash year for UBS IB, no doubt. Q3 was decent but 1H and Q4 are gonna be bad. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 How do you go to UChicago but you don't know basic grammar? If you made these same basic errors in your emails that might be why Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 All same wirehouse. The NY office opportunity came from my last team’s MDs’ referrals, 1.8B book came from networking around last summer’s office w management, 30M producing offer came from similar management figure. tendollahdepreciation
+1 propmetrica.com: propmetrica.com
+1 a lot of people have left over the past 3 years  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Checks out, worst group at the bank and it's not even close. See their juniors working till 2:00 - 3:00 AM for them all to collectively close zero deals. Other groups have some kind of balance (i.e. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 bump pptmaster395
+1 What is the target? You need to tell us. rooseveltfan
+1 Auto rooseveltfan
+1 Can you extend graduation by 1 semester, load up on GPA booster classes (can you take summer classes or January term as well?) + get an internship and recruit next year instead?  Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Pushing out your fellow co-head, that's the Blackstone way (the Jon Gray playbook) Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Yeah idk you're kinda fucked. Stern is the best school of the three but a low gpa is the worst at Stern out of the 3. rooseveltfan
+1 Agree with comments on nothing to lose. Would be thoughtful and tactical about approach. It is a long life and would actually argue there is upside in reaching out even if the response is not today. Anonymous Monkey
+1 Thank you! I really appreciate the specifics!! & aagghh, this makes it harder to decide. one more year could be highly beneficial. pbgrxavel
+1 This seems pretty innocuous tbh but if you really want to be safe just take your firm off your LinkedIn (if it’s on there). Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Exxon is a good stepping stone, but not a good career-making firm. Too stingy with bonuses, don't like taking risk, more interested in owning assets as opposed to trading. KoolAidManOHHHHHYEAHHHH
+1 I think we are all cooked. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 "DEI does hinder men of color though" Spit out the coffee moment Capital of Structure
+1 Intern in IB - GenASO3 (promo to VP) - Canadian bank (NYC office)225k base + 250k bonus (top) pretty satisfied Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 PM me, made a similar decision and am familiar with both Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 For NYC FIG? Anonymous Monkey
+1 Was in the exact same situation as you. If you go to hec or escp the core courses are brutal in semester 1. Zero time to study technicals or network so get that done before you start. Revama69
+1 Its a private school so the cash grab part is implied.. It's the least expensive one out of the top 5 though so if they can't get into the public ones then why not Frankfert8
+1 FTAM is worst, B/SF is alot of pitches done by masochistic mid-levels who care about facetime alot Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Hi, I'm sure you got this question a lot but I wanna ask about your view on the work in consulting vs. banking. I am a senior student still deciding whether to go into banking/consulting. PandaBanker
+1 Sorry but not useful for M&A. What you are actually building is a hedge fund merger arb tool, which might actually have some use.  Lester Grossman
+1 Just have to assume it's a rejection and keep moving, it's not like you have other offers you're waiting to accept. If they come back to you, great, but don't use brainpower hoping for this until they do Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 NYU housing is the way to go for sure. Was in 3rd north my internship and enjoyed it. Irrespective of where you are your most important thing is to see how far your subway station is. BBG STRU Enjoyer
+1 The pre-2020s were objectively easier. Did you see the volatility we had in the last month and yesterday (due to events like Quad Witching)? Stocks are up/down 20%+ on zero news, just "flows". paulyoungettem
+1 Did program last year I got my acceptance January 10th. I did the February session. Finana1
+1 I'm stuck at a crossroads too working in finance. Curious about your decision making process. Do you feel happier that you don't have to deal with the office politics once you left? bzfracas
+1 Who was the best guy still at your former employer, and can I hire him? PM in HF - Other
+1 I've been feeling this way as well. Hit 3 years in banking and after another 1-2 years, I need to make a major pivot. The one-sided personalities in the field, performative nature, and politics drains me bzfracas
+1 Great list! It’s interesting to see how much personality and occasion influence fragrance choices. Mice786
+1 I’d go boutique IB Intern in IB - Gen
+1 In my experience, internship by far. For sophomore and junior summer, I received zero interviews at any consulting firm. Prospect in Consulting
+1 Ignore title, but as a reference point, moved from EB IB to Rx consulting, and the comp is on par with / sometimes beats what I'd be making in banking. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Also GPs like to market the people the place at top of portcos as having key experience or functional expertise to sell to LPs/Coinvestors. As an example an ops person from a f500 cpg business for their rollup. fds
+1 Bingo VP in IB - Cov
+1 People here really love circlejerking what they heard. I am at a mid-tier BB (Citi/BoFA) at a mid-tier group in one of them with a rounded up 3.7... going to one of the public MF's (BX/KKR/APO/TPG). Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 appreciate the context here. it is tough i agree. having comfort, safety, a stable income gets inherently wired into your dna as you get older, get more risk averse and lose that vitality to chase risk. bzfracas
+1 I'm a bit surprised to see the salaries be lower than estimated. FinnesseGod
+1 It could be true. The facts are that if you have equity in something that performs exceptionally well, you do exceptionally well. IB MDs usually don't have direct ownership in the bank, but are paid on performance. usernameladiesman217
+1 Thanks for the tips - your advice really helps with the intonation and delivery. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 You should be completely fine. Just target MM’s issabanker
+1 So, 2 big reasons why math is emphasized. 1, most of the trading nowadays is done through models. Having some mathematical understanding means you understand generally when the output of a model is fishy. usernameladiesman217
+1 100% agree. I do not work in a pod shop and never will. I do not believe in technical analysis and don’t care about daily volatility. I don’t consider those things investing. Partner in RE - Comm
