Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 This is such a great overview. Can you expand a bit on your summer experience FIC at DB and whether you're looking forward to returning? Received the same grad offer you described without having done the internship. mangoalchemy449

+1 Michigan State - PJT placement  Bump_monkey
+1 I heard if u give him what he wants you get in the Barclays guarantee bonus pool Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I have no dog in this fight and no hate but just curious, why does the athlete thing matter so much? I thought this was Division III, which to me in recruiting is not like a UT football player or something. Director in IB - Cov
+1 Google is a search engine. Safari is a browser. I want to apologize. I was insulting you before but now I know you’re actually medically retarded. Send me your GoGundMe link I’ll donate to your gene therapy. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1  BMO M&M/M&A is indisputably more paradise than Wells Fargo.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 delete Prospect in IB - 5th Year

+1 Bump Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Congrats on your admission to Cornell Nolan… I would’ve also picked IU. But can we go back to the days of hiring from ivies? rooseveltfan
+1 noones surprised this post is just cringe as fuck Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 a) I already learned how to do these things manually, and now i can just run it more efficiently, and often don't need an analyst to do it at all  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Euro post that lacks inclusivity because it's in English instead of Arabic.  -50 good boy points to social credit score, report to the Office of New Europeans for spanking PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Person (who supposedly works in the field you're trying to get into) says you're underestimating the approach and you (who's never worked in the role) disagree; you're perfect to blowup in a year! DaMilkyWay
+1 Glad to see a lot more state school kids breaking in over the past few years  VP in IB - Cov
+1 del VP in IB - Cov
+1 lucien_de_montclair: I moved to Chattanooga a few years back and couldn't have made a better choice. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Can you explain why? wso warrior
+1 What do you mean by inference/ratio calculations? Strange flyingsquirrel30
+1 I work in the UK. Comp is on the low side for me because I was an internal hire. Total take home is £140k. I’m aware I’m severely underpaid. ffx900
+1 Analyst 2 in IB-M&A Associate 1 in IB - CB
+1 I am also feeling very weird abt it cuz IMO it's not one of, it's prob the best as for now in the market. Even considering other traditional ones that wrapped up, I think it's still one of the top places. eatbanana1234
+1 Because there's no way they would say "there's a right answer" expecting you to name one of the hundreds of thousands of beers. archipelago
+1 I'm very organized and have no problem managing paperwork. More than most of the lawyers I work with. ResMan
+1 I think a lot of ppl will say that titles matter less in this industry as you know... either you are a PM or you're not. But when you say you're an associate is it that you're simply supporting an analyst vs. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Did your father intentionally raise a cunt, or was he just not around growing up? Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 1)Wisconsin is on a similar tier as UIUC  2) Penn state and rutgers are worse than UIUC and IU (non workshop) .....IU and UIUC place well in chicago Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 If it’s early in your career, I would definitely say MS gcm. The pedigree/prestige is much stronger and you’ll likely get more training and deal exposure for exits. Senior VP in AM - FI
+1 Is the NY IBD process still happening? Like is it cooked if I haven't received a SPD yet? sbiwsss22
+1 Personally know guys in both of these and doing double majors/double honors (eg Canfield+ECE). You should be able to get a good GPA - Canfield is inflated a ton and COLA courses are typically fairly easy. mbbwannabe72
+1 Sure, no question. But at that point, I legitimately can't worry. There's no sense in future proofing myself (eg, switch to industrial, learn a trade, etc) if the whole world goes upside down. FinServces
+1 I have a disability, r1s are done Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 The NHL internship is sick and great for a sophomore internship. It could also potentially land you a few first-round interviews if the person screening the resume also happens to be into hockey. thehoodedarrow
+1 Congrats on UBS nanami
+1 What about the horrendous job they've done on deals I've worked on in the last 3 years?  Deal Team Six
+1 I’ll admit that the best spots to live in London outclass anywhere else in the world and I love em to bits (NH, Hampstead etc etc) I think that is j so hard for younger people to achieve a sustainable lifestyle nowadays in investmentwanker123
+1 Only in my dreams. In your dreams, you didn’t fail your PE interviews. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Worked there for a year and agree that some groups are much worse than others. Hc/energy/O&G/tech are incredibly sweaty and where most of the horror stories form. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 bump monkeybanker2937294
+1 I mean, yeah? Three statement models have been around forever - it’s just copying the millions of them it’s been trained on. It’s not inventing anything new. Just spouting it off quicker. This is awesome. modafman1
+1 howtomakeitinamericaSkittled PrinterGoBrr
+1 If you're an athlete at a top NESCSC, recruiting is far easier than at NYU Stern. Talked to maybe like 20 people and got an offer at top tier BB/EB. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 LionTree just got named as an advisor to Paramount omg Works at Citigroup
+1 Thanks ChatGPT😹 jamesDimon999
+1 not knowing others but H&F NY is filled with SF having 2-3 left; FP def filled most unfortunately; Carlyle tech filled, not sure abt others; Bain NAPE filled half (SS hasn't kicked off interviewing but kicked off recru eatbanana1234

+1 lol you called it! Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Yes but in bold Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 SMBC? asseater6969
+1 Would pass. They are having fundraising issues. It is just like all the other generalist firms that "specialize" in industrials, consumer, healthcare, tech, gov, etc.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Switch MSU with Purdue? Maybe move Purdue even lower. I’ve at least worked with someone from MSU. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 oh nice - good luck john60
+1 “A cold beer” would have also been accepted. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 i get where u coming from but making girls paying for dinner on 2nd date is kinda insane lol all of them will run away for sure. Anonymous Monkey
+1 For whatever reason - PIMCO comp is always heavily debated with people adamantly stating they are below market in comp…or well above market in comp high hopes
+1 dawg go get some bitches 😭😭😭 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Analyst 2 in IB - CovTruist announce bonus in March and pay in April Works at Truist Securities
+1 Am a 2nd year analyst at UBS. It's fine if your goal is to do banking for 2 years and to leave to PE. Terrible if you have any interest at all in staying for beyond those 2 years. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I think IU as a whole is very overrated, but there's no denying the success of the IBW, placements across NYC/CHI, and EBs/BBs/MMs consistently Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Avg IU Kelley student Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Solid list, needs a few more tiers because why is DB grouped with MOE/PWP Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 He didn’t say “earnings catalysts,” just that you need to focus on “catalysts.” Not sure if Freudian slip or something but there are a ton more catalysts that HFs pay attention to beyond earnings. Benson Says
+1 Netflix backing out of the WB deal was interesting. Using phrasing from their post: “this transaction was always a ‘nice to have’ at the right price, not a ‘must have’ at any price”. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 What are you trying to optimize for? (1) your children's leisure  (2) your dynasty/legacy (multi-generational) (3) what's good for your business? longandshort
+1 How strong is the group currently? tigerchimp33
+1 You being a retard is not a reflection of the industry as a whole Works at Citigroup
+1 You’ll be fine, as everyone else said network with the donors and alumni and not just at auburn. rooseveltfan
+1 Legally this structure is pretty hairy. Especially because the percent of pre tax income he takes is varying over time and there are notable carveouts. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I ask them whether they played squash or lacrosse and what group their dad leads. Always get such insightful responses about the industry- truly grateful to go to a super target of intellectuals like this school!  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Aside from the usual 401k / HSA / Roth (backdoor) - merino wool tailored suit TheDon_123
+1 They’re fundamentally different careers. At stepstone, you’ll put VC analyst or associate on your resume but you’re an allocator. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Had a buddy who pivoted from MM IB to McKinsey. Analyst0910
+1 You don't need to have a full ride scholarship to have grit. Analyst 3+ in Consulting

+1 I don’t think the fact that u grinded it out and risked ur health doing so is a flex. Shoulda got the bag my boi 💰 apetrynamakeit
+1 Worse, UBS won’t notice if juniors go hungry Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Startup is most important here in my opinion. Real work + variety of random exposures. Interviewers would rather talk about this than a lot of search funds. Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 300K isn't far off, but remember that it's a cushy, 40H a week job. Compensation can scale quickly as well and you might also have to bake in expat contracts if you go abroad. The Pharma Guy
+1 I always liked the sea, so if I possible I will try to pivot to commercial and transport sailing. Works at Cannacord Genuity
+1 Do you really think what you do all day can be fully replaced? FinServces
+1 Like most AM M&A, there isn’t a hard and fast rule and it depends on the situation. There are instances where a fund is getting bought because they are struggling and the buyer wants to take on the assets. billionsandbillionsandbillions
+1 Not hard brother just be normal and not a sweaty anxious Indian hardo lol, let those kids take the PJT RX spots Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Saar is IB dubai good saar please buy my poop processing factory saar Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I'd say for food, NYC is definitely better when it comes to North American, Chinese and Korean (arguably) cuisines, while London is definitely better for European, Southeast Asians (by a mile - as a Vietnamese native, Viet brtfedd1312
+1 This is perhaps the most idiotic thing I've ever heard, putting fent in someone's drink without their consent? dude, please be serious... Invalid_CREdentials
+1 I think they would be more impressed with what you can do for them with everything you've achieved (go to nice places, shopping or what not) and that will be different to most other grads in different fields who may SA_008
+1 Correct. Would venture to say in M&T 99% of meal expenses are never reimbursed by a client as its always general marketing or a deal that never closes. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Dr. Rahma DikhinmahasThe job is attractive for a few reasons, but high pay is a big reason. Works at Citigroup
+1 Said already, but tough WLB given the strategy. They also want you out in Westport which is tough Sal89
