+1 What is comp like at the S and A tiers for analysts through MDs? G0rd0nGekk0
+1 All of JPM FIG is pretty good, but those are sweaty verticals that are also more pigeonholed. imo banks is worse while insurance has had a change for the better with the new head from citi(jawad) Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+1 Understand all the points but differ on the point on doors opening. IncomingFIGsummerassoc123
+1 Why is UChicago considered a target then? I'm confused. Don't people place it at the tier right below HYPSM?  brightlion27
+1 I have friends in both schools and after talking to them I chose ESSEC. I came to the conclusion that program wise they are going to be the same, however with ESSEC I will graduate with a M1 on top of my bachelor. tibo
+1 3rd year at a target (in London). I think this comes down to a number of factors: professional.form.filler
+1 Guggenheim has at least a couple of significant deals. Lazard literally has no deals  overlord481216
+1 I guess prop trading firms (or i guess anything that is privately held) are the solution to this in finance. Swimsphinx
+1 to IB MDs because BigLaw Partners' work is similar in substance to that of an IB MD: get clients throughout the door and retain them GS under Blankfein
+1 Why are multiple people saying nepo kids are "a rounding error" or "less than one percent" of hires? UnclePhilly

+1 It’s like asking if anyone’s used Tide to do laundry palm_beach_ll
+1 Yes but they're not sponsored by bcg and the likes.  Frankfert8
+1 Yes and no. Fund size matters in that it typically correlates to headcount, so you should adjust appropriately. CRESF
+1 Hampstead really is gold standard. take frequent walks through there to remind me I am a total chud and I need to keep grinding to become a rainmaker MD that can afford a house there anonf0fty
+1 Hampstead is beautiful. The strategy is to buy now in the other neighbourhoods mentioned at mid-level at 25-30s at the £900k-1m range, build equity and pay it off in 10-15 years time. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+1 Got into all three programs for the 2026 intake. By the time I join, I will have 1 year of experience as an analyst on a trading desk at one of the BB's S&T division (not in the UK though). greedy.monkey
+1 There are 5 generation old GPUs in data centers that are still profitable. This entire line of thinking is perpatrated by people who know a little but have zero understanding of the economics of the industry. PEarbitrage
+1 Yea makes sense, really appreciate it! wso warrior
+1 Will only take a call if the resume is solid. Don’t want to waste either of our times if I don’t think the person has a chance of getting an interview and succeeding. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Keep on keeping on then! PE is a great job if your cool w the status quo.  kuf135
+1 Not really, no.  usernameladiesman217
+1 1. Is there a difference between inflation/growth or are they always synonymous? If not, how would a shock in either impact equities? usernameladiesman217
+1 Yeah, you definitely did a good job explaining that.  I've actually never heard someone explain the bridge between data based AI and large language models so well or simply.    Ferris Bueller
+1 Thoughtful post, but I stopped reading after “Stratford is OK”.  Silver banana for the effort!  20buscar
+1 Day after last round small_girl
+1 HL RX superday is disgusting. I second greenhill as well Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I was in the spot. Had a full ride from some of the schools you listed below and tried negotiating with CBS after paying the 6k deposit, they didn’t budge (I tried until end June). IncomingFIGsummerassoc123
+1 Fair enough! Although, "OK" in British English means "pretty bad but not the worst". Winky face 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+1 to be an analyst not too hard - maybe a bit harder than 2 years ago because there has been pod consolidation but i would say the pods are always looking for solid analyst to generate ideas  PeterClemenza
+1 I think this thread is more catered to the VPs and Principals that are trying to make a career out of PE and feel like the ladder has been pulled up behind them. kuf135
+1 might be a unique opinion but if its say like Rutgers -> Vanderbilt id keep both but if its a larger diff like maryland -> wharton id keep only wharton Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 basically HR fucked up and accidentally opened apps to everyone (they were just meant for EID) Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Hey - no, you usually won't need to start over completely. However it would be easier for you, if you had been at BB, from what I've seen from these banks switch is almost 1:1. Felixfab
+1 JPM did Endeavor, Eni, Hess, Chesapeake, Viper, SM, Vital, Diamondback, and hired Brad to spearhead their midstream branch. Why you wanted to move them down Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Thank you! Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Most quants don't really network with strangers. If you want to find quants, the place place to find them is by being published in a respected scientific journal. usernameladiesman217
+1 Funds: Elloitt, PIMCO, SVP, Sculptor, DK Rx Consulting : Providence, BRG and Ankura alongside Big 3 davani1420
+1 Evercore is definitely a s tier for its pay. Even a mediocre year in Houston gives them above street pay  Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 GHL was tough as hell, they are definitely screening for technical aptitude  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 If I had to rank: EVR / CVPMOEPJT GHLPWP Haven't interviewed with LAZ but assume they would also be in on the tougher side Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Agree with everything but Latham. DPW, Paul Weiss and GD have better practices but Sobolewski is a great addition Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs VP in Research - FI
+1 usernameladiesman217: CuriousQuant00
+1 thoughts on what MM/UMM people would join as an associate now over MFs? optimizing for fund growth trajectory, promotion path, long term comp, comparatively decent culture/wlb Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 re. law firms, S&C became very active recently in bx/rx GS under Blankfein
+1 banking > law > consulting > claims. For banking it's statistically hard. For law need JD and top school, which is somehow in your control. Consulting preferably good school, with less grind as law. GS under Blankfein
+1 Thanks a lot, super helpful. Are headhunters and direct outbounds the way to go to unlock these roles? There doesn’t seem to be a standardized name for these roles. Two follow-up questions if I may! Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Had to navigate a similar thing last year during on-cycle as we had to do it during training. The only deal experience I had was something in my internship at a similar stage to yours. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 There are 3 groups, though the ICPs are the first and second:1. Professionals working in Finance that enjoy gaming/puzzles/competition. toj27
+1 Tbh if you have a full time job in IB, no one will really care about the internship. Better brand name is my suggestion Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 that’s what I’m sayin too. if u have a shit gpa u better have made a good impression on HHs, cuz they will still put u in front of clients if u know ur shit Investment Analyst in IB - Gen
+1 In the past few years I have seen colleagues and juniors pushed out only for MD to fulfill his political fantasy of having a woman VP & above, only for that woman to quit within months after getting the role. Director in IB - Cov
+1 Your life must be miserable right? In what universe should Detring Advisor be included in the discussion? I can put PPHB, Opportune, KEW, statesman, and the list can go forever. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Would add Five Elms, Brighton Park, Rubicon Tech Partners, Cove Hill, Silversmith, and Baypine. BV and Main are sneaky good. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Oakley Capital also in Europe Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 15 min response time on a Sunday is completely fine.  Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Funny I also went to Andover/Exeter and both the kids I know well currently at Stern picked it over 1. Cornell and the second Brown and Uchi. rooseveltfan
+1 Accel-KKR is definitely a top 3 fund in the space, crazy returns Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 A lot of people's deals are not going to be sponsor sell-side or buy-sides given the state of the M&A market. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Hello friend, I was in the same shoes and I quit on the spot and landed a new role within in 5 months with a 3 month break between to hit the gym, read, and do 2 intl trips. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Heard good things about their REGAL group, specifically gaming and lodging.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Whoever releases the unredacted Epstein files (sigh) dukeblue2019
+1 I'd say GHL and CVP but for different reasons Summer Associate in Risk Mnmgt
+1 but i feel like this goes into more than just misogyny. i think OP is upset no one is admired by her, respects, or really wants anything to do with them. it isn't just misogyny, it's why aren't i liked by the guys. samadams
+1 So ngmi nutmegger189
+1 I know it has military roots, but every single person I see driving one is a housewife. I think there are four used as mom mobiles in my neighborhood alone.  CRE
+1 You are not getting into the US from the UK unless you already have the right to work in the US Prospect in IB - DCM
+1 magik CheccoZalone17
+1 Yeah I agree no point in continuing to post. Everyone knows UBS is awful and declining rapidly. Most of their teams are fairly clueless and it would be hard to trust them with anything meaningful Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 any interview invites been going out? jan is next week Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Keep going - I’m ready to bet you’re living the dream of many people. I’m sure there’s a lifestyle shift but at least it feels real and at least you’re building something tangible. ibwannabe66
+1 How is any of the things on this reflective of their team being clueless? it's very clear it's the same 1 or 2 posting on alts, so not really reflective of the juniors there. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 While I can't speak for the coursework as I don't do that specific course, the exits recently have been to MMs like RBC and Moelis. There used to be a lot of BB offers but I think it's died down as of late.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Evercore Rx Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Errr.. I think bro lied Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 You’ve spent too much time on the internet and have subsequently been transformed into a soulless ghoul by your social media algorithm. Please log off and spend some time outside in the real world. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Is this why they pay associates below market Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1  . wawaweewa42
+1 Age is just a number. Nobody really cares about age if you do your work properly. Good luck on getting the offers! most_respected_zone_c
+1 lol Altas - not even close, Novacap counts it’s aum on how much they raised since inception (the 80s), its not even real AUM, their tech fund IRR is declining (Although still not bad) and most juniors do boring infra deals AlexDaModelMonkey
+1 It was circle j**k Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 theres literally 0 cap on OPT which lasts for 3 years (every school including MBAs has changed their program to make it "STEM" to qualify for the 3 years) arbjunkie
+1 what is the gpa out of 30? As the other comment says, I don't think the GPA should matter too much in BIEF, with the GMAT score so long as you don't get auto reject.  hutcointraders
+1 The best thing about being interested in energy is that you are pretty much alone in that preference, and therefore competition is more limited. MMPM
+1 Leaving UBS post bonus. Excited to be free! I recommend never considering working here. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Any culture/comp info on Petrie? Odd that they would be ranked below gugg given your comments on both banks lol dallasnative5887
+1 Bump Mr. Moe
+1 Curious on how you do the math to determine the value per 1% Director in RE - Other
+1 do you work in FIG or trying to get into it? FIG is pretty hot rn and most franchises are hiring, JPM the most and MS the least of those you listed but many EBs also were hiring for it this year.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Thanks. I think the obvious thing to say is that prices have not come down yet since leaving the recent decade+ boom. So buying low cannot be done today.  Developer in RE - Comm
