+1 WCAS is doing great: they were cited as one of the well-performing firms in that THL update post from a FoF, they are specalists in HC and Tech. GI is generalist, not the same style at all. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Anyone have a link for this? Trackr says it's open but the hyperlink is blank and can't find it on Handshake Intern in IB - Treas
+1 It would be sick for sure but I’d argue that if he actually wanted to maximize pedigree, then Stanford or MIT would be preferable options before Cambridge. DeletedAccount...

+1 There should be a clear distinction between biotech and broad healthcare, given how different the nature of biotech is. Also there are no regional or smaller boutiques on here. VP in IB-M&A
+1 This was always a rule of thumb for me; when you date, always remind yourself to behave in such a way that the woman you are with has as few negative things to say about you as possible. GordonGekko87

+1 Unfortunately not true, almost 60% of the class is filled - they gave offers to some of the people they accelerated. Still a (slim) shot for those attending the SD. trollking1000
+1 Subjective question, and sorry for reviving this thread, but what makes RX consulting "interesting"? I've seen that being thrown around a lot when describing the field, but not too sure what that entails. Analyst 1 in PE - Growth
+1 It's usually pretty rare for a shop to have a modeling test for summer analyst positions. They will grill you on technicals though.  CREMonkeyz
+1 Chill group with good hours. Broadly thought of as the “B team” at Wells but that’s true of every MM group embedded at big banks. RBOB_squarepants
+1 ask here  Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 I would say the UHNW channel wants at least value-add type returns (mid-teens+) otherwise they are better off investing in BREIT or harvesting dividends on the JPEI. REPE245
+1 Got it, thanks. It will feel more like a reset in perception than in skills. siddharth.jain90107

+1 If there are some massive problems in two funds it’s a pretty good view of where it’s going. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 I knew a guy who went from a HF to a top restructuring IB associate role. I imagine you would easily be able to go to ECM, maybe M&A or something not sure though tbh. BoutiqueAsc
+1 Not to flex on you but not sure that’s entirely true. The people posting strong numbers are clearly doing pretty well, but £150k at 28 shouldn’t be base case. As you say you have had some issues, missed a bonus cycle etc. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Up there with MS and BofA as one of the best fsg teams Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov

+1 Few things pop out to me. First, you say you have IB and PE on your resume. usernameladiesman217

+1 How does something like this happen? Same reason we have a Senator from Florida who defrauded Medicaid and Medicare of hundreds of millions. ballsdeep singh
+1 Thanks for the correction Anonymous Monkey

+1 Here is a quick example. You got 3 males and 1 female Associate in the team but only 2 VP spots. The female associate will get promoted as long as she does bare minimum while the 3 men will compete for the remaining spot. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Going through something similar right now but a few years younger. Was unemployed for ~5 months but recently started a cushy FP&A role that pays $150k (remote/LCOL). Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I think the better question is, do people who review resume packs know what a good GRE is or not? Like is a VP/Principal going through a pack of resumes at 11PM going to know the difference between a 320 and 338?  VP in Research - FI
+1 What you say is true, will never be admitted though. carlbooss
+1 This is not what you want to hear but if you 'must' get a graduate degree: I would avoid the MSRED and MSRE categorically  -- and focus on obtaining the right experience to gain entry into a very competitive national Assist. VP in IB - Gen

+1 Yes to the first. Disagree with the second. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 MDP is in free fall: lots of internal fighting and their new fund is around half their previous one. Linden and Vistria have larger fund sizes than them now in Chicago. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 "Unmotivated for technicals"? Did I read that right? There are already students out there who know the 400 questions guide front to back. To make matters worse, you're non DEI at a non target. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 bro definitely pounds tortas Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Interesting, I work in macro/RV so we do some alt data, but most people coming in there have backgrounds in CS and AI/ML because the computer vision and parsing is something we see a lot of(a lot of sentiment about the bro usernameladiesman217
