Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Congrats on Cornell rooseveltfan
+1 Sighs in partial agreement. Honestly Idk if I would try to teach this to a candidate at 22. If he hasn't learnt it by now how do we know he isn't on the spectrum, social anxiety, "isn't cut it out it for it" etc. moneymaker03
+1 Agree with all 4 points - good plan ......................................
+1 "Tough luck kiddo you showed too much interest in the industry of your future career" moneymaker03
+1 mergerspecialistThat doesn't make sense. Anyway, try not to paint everyone in a finance club with the same brush.  Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 Europe is the only reason they can even sniff at a deal (and try to take EMEA’s credit for the Americas) Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Thanks for the question — appreciate it siddharth.jain90107
+1 Thanks Asdaf for the question. I personally believe that both PWM and AIF are in a good place and will keep growing, but they’re maturing more steeply than initially expected   siddharth.jain90107
+1 Mediocre whites gonna mediocre white Intern in Consulting
+1 Analyst 2 in IB-M&A Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 "I haven’t actually gone through the process so I wouldn’t know." Trader in S&T - Comm
+1 Rise, Tides, Nitya, Cardone... VP in RE - Comm
+1  Please proceed with caution. I was defrauded by this company on two separate occasions. kayivey
+1 Actually disagree with this - sitting in a distressed/special sits seat, I can tell you I think it’s a push on average  Monkey.D.
+1 Bump Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Technically, corp strat just focuses on strategy, whereas S&O is a hybrid of strategy and execution. But in reality, they're pretty interchangeable.  Associate 1 in CorpStrat
+1 The sad part is, I think it’s the same mentally ill guy who’s been posting on here, Reddit, TikTok, etc. for years… Bro belongs in an asylum. This is the saddest hobby I think I’ve ever heard of. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 I mean for most people, the hedge fund seat is like their third exit (sell side, buy side seat 1 and maybe a second and then a hedge fund). Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 Username checks out wacced out models
+1 Idk about "many", it's still hard + takes luck to be successful. But in principal you're not wrong, money begets money. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge smlifer
+1 I would jump over to PE if you get the opportunity. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 2 behaviourals and 2 techs iirc. But they're all very easy and you have 3 attempts in total to record your answer so yeah technically you have unlimited time to prep lol jennyd_ng
+1 Can someone please explain what banks are paying  more than PE for AS? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I've seen this firsthand specifically in regards to simping rather than DEI. NoEquityResearch
+1 My bad, thought you were op. Assume you went to Oxbridge/lse? senior_associate@goldman_stanley
+1 Fair point, but perhaps you are conflating intelligence with work ethic? Hence why the a – c listed are all as and/or’s. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Arsenal is performing terribly would avoid. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Prices at NYC midtown locations are also absurd. I swear extra steak and guacamole doubles the price Based-Monké
+1 this is far better written than it has any right to be. Director in IB - Gen
+1 Depends on a variety of factors, but between years 1 and 2 is a good spot, particularly if you have worked on a few deals (ideally a few that closed) and can speak to that experience interviewing at MMs. Executive Director in IB - Cov
+1 Thanks for the insights! I am at principal/associate director level with >$220k base and guaranteed 20% bonus + upside on exceeding corporate goals on deals I made. ERBD
+1 i ain't reading all that. im happy for you tho, or sorry that happened. qnt12345
+1 Tell me why I know exactly who this is just from the networking events lmao. Best of luck! Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 The 80-90th percentile that's willing to stick around GameTimeisSaneTime
+1 Seems like you've got it figured out with the bullets GameTimeisSaneTime
+1 Certainly going through the ringer aren't they hahaha GameTimeisSaneTime
+1 P72 Ventures also has a great defense tech team GameTimeisSaneTime
+1 Used to be but EMEA now Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 These are great, as are idea poker games. Been to a few of these in NYC and had a fun time + gotten a couple deals out of them.  GameTimeisSaneTime
+1 workaholics that live for PE GS under Blankfein
+1 Virginia D&G Group, Jan 7th darlkjuhg
+1 Curious about bain cap liquid credit, especially on the non CLO side Analyst 2 in Private Credit
+1 fdsWhat are you thinking as a next step Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 STG has some massive dogs in their portfolio, namely Trellix. Believe the largest position in their 2020 and 2022 fund is Trellix and it has already undergone multiple liability mgmt transactions.  VP in PE - Growth
+1 I would be careful here as I have interned in IB and prior to that in PE as an intern, sitting next to PE associates who have received little / no help on any DD processes, Data Room processes, building decks, analysing mo Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Good corp strat comp is only in finance and tech. I'm 3 YOE at my T2 firm on track to make 220-240K this year. ccfarmer
+1 It's not so much about weight for appearance as it is bf%. You ideally want to be 15% or less, but if you can get 10-12% that's even more ideal. datboi1234
+1 How long will they keep the initial posting open? Need to study technicals and don't want to wait too long before doing the HV purplecrayon72
+1 Age: 25 YoE: 3 Current Role: Sourcing Associate at LMM (hcol) Total 2025 Cash Comp: $115K moneymonkey33
+1 was at a low paying MM bank my first year. saved about ~80k (401k + match, HSA contributions, brokerage, roth) not including gains. estrangedpanda
+1 pachimp1: Canadian bank so already paid out 1st yr analyst in trading wimpychimpy
+1 Very major differences in groups it seems though. M&A is interesting because it's 3 LMMs and 1 larger MM / UMM; most other groups are pretty easy to evaluate relatively for exits. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Honestly i’m aiming to put in 2k a month into QQQ/SPY and most of my bonus when I get that. my whole reasoning behind maxxing the 401k was because my company had a great contribution policy and they funded my HSA in full. estrangedpanda
+1 The top bucket analysts in most groups can get a solid MM / UMM offer. Mid buckets and below are struggling to get anything at all. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Exit quality is subjective. Not sure what you mean by analyst quality; but UBS punches above it's weight for exits relative to leauge table rankings except for PC. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Thanks so much, super helpful advice. So from what I’m gathering from your perspective, some sector-focused funds may take a shot on someone straight from banking with the right depth of experience. RaptorsFan2209
+1 Anybody know about SF office? DelusionalDave
+1 figured, thank you for the response. i started in HY/LL out of undergrad and am now at a similar fund to yours. ibmayb
+1 As a non-target, getting a good GMAT score really helped me in recruiting for all the reasons already mentioned in this thread. Go for it.  Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Spain… 1/3 the cost of London, 90% the salary, same bonus, easier to stick out rooseveltfan
+1 Check your details again because I know some retards who got it and you don’t sound like a retard DelusionalDave
+1 Height matters but I’m 5’9 and had 500+ likes in less than a week on Bumble alone last time I was on it. I think face matters more than height. datboi1234
+1 In the Indian IB context, comp ramps up fairly quickly as you move up the ladder, but the mix changes a lot. At the analyst level you’re usually looking at roughly ₹10–25L all-in. siddharth.jain90107
+1 I would say more like going to Berkeley for CS rooseveltfan
+1 What would I do if I were to leave RE? odog @digitalimmortality.com
+1 BX PC from FSG, L Catterton, Ares, KSL and Oaktree from Levfin. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 Depends. I’m on the average height side so I feel a slim frame works for me best. I also walk like 15k steps per day so it’s hard for me to ever be in a surplus to get bigger. datboi1234
+1 average base for A2 is 125 ~7k / month- rent is 2k for me (have a roommate) other expenses probably 1.5k then invest 2k. retirement contributions come primarily from my bonus estrangedpanda
+1 When’s it open? whoooo
+1 Throwaway account so ignore title. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I unfortunately don’t know much about the finance scene outside of Europe, but I think Madrid and Amsterdam are up and coming and underrated. They’re also really cool and fun cities to live in. Manager in CorpFin
+1 CFA helps quite a bit in CF in Europe. Manager in CorpFin
+1 Adding some insights to the ones I’m highly familiar with HIG is extremely sweaty GTCR is extremely sweaty (and Chicago lol) Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 hey happy to trade a TPG one for this cheekymonkey321
+1 What’s more ridiculous is undergrads thinking they can at all meaningfully contribute to investment processes they are not integrated with by putting in 15 hrs a week alongside schoolwork lol. Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 Analyst: £40k base; typical bonuses 10-15% Associate Consultant in Consulting
+1 One of my former classmates is from Michigan and knows someone that worked there. Team left Cowen and was acquired/re-branded under Piper and primarily covers residential services. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 . i love chickens
+1 Are you based in Toronto ot NY?  Intern in S&T - Other
+1  . disco1111111
+1 . DiscoJockey37
+1 . Ozymandia
+1 Did you get the holiday email? DiscoJockey37
+1 Can't hurt. I was in an interview over the past month and the recruiting partner, who'd also done an MBA, made a positive remark about my GMAT which was 770.  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 They might get buyout experience but it's still going to do worse for laterals compared to someone at say GTCR given the added climate nature. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Totally fair point and that was where I was coming from w/ the TB reference. Will meet you in the middle and say 2022 fund is too early to tell for a couple reasons. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Just buy the peakframeworks courses. For GE on-cycle interviews, if you can do level 3 from scratch within 90 minutes you are fine.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Pretty accurate, might bump EVR to A+.Also any figures on 2025 Healthcare rankings based on deal value/fees? I know Citi ranked #1 on total deal value in 2024, think Centerview ranked first on fees. VP in IB - Cov
+1 Del senior_associate@goldman_stanley
+1 JPM def same tier as MS ricyan
+1 TB portfolio is very exposed to AI. The multiples you paid for a business pre-AI risk and very little to do with their risk exposure in today’s reality. Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Thanks HeretoWatch for listing the considerations of latering at this stage. I'm an AN2, repasting my question, you may have an answer: Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Bump EVR and JPM to A-/A+ Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Is it bad if I wait 3ish days to complete my hirevue? I'm away right now and do not have professional attire or ideal technology to complete it but I will be home tommorow. FrankOceanFan12
+1 . Ozymandia
+1 Did an analyst reach out to u?  Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 My main concern is if forced rankings occur within 12 months of him joining, OP will be helpless given his tenure would be short at that point and he will end up being cannon fodder. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 In this job market, I would advise you take the PWM offer. Few years down the line you can revisit IB/PE with an MBA or an (advanced) MFin (LBS for example) if you still have the IB/PE itch. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 It seemed to me like the time limit was 48 hours from receiving the invitation. I had to do mine in a hotel room. recruit52
