+1 not this year. several banks are asking for transcript in apps, and many ppl confirmed to me they'll be verifying either before super day or offer. better be safe than sorry.  blueberry_muffin123

+1 They have alrady started itnerviewing? lkfdshfkhask
+1 Can't speak on bjj because it's homo, but the gyms are great places to meet people and make friends. Not only are the sports incredibly challenging physically, but they strengthen your mentality too. skocats

+1 Know how to read an OM for Key AssumptionsKnow how to build a RE model with assumptions, cashflows, debt sizing, equity waterfall, and key return metrics BannahboatAO
+1 You can download some OM's from the big brokerages to prep. Assuming it's a case, and you'll be building from scratch, know how to pull the OM / T12 (if it's included) and apply the assumptions to them. Prospect in RE - Comm
+1 #2 is extremely hard to do. As an AN, there is alot you still have to learn (you admit not being an expert) and LMM business owners are likely to be biased against your youth. BannahboatAO
+1 Safe to assume if we haven’t gotten an interview / chat, we’re cooked / not getting oncycle looks?  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+1 PE only? Or other teams (HBV, Credit, FIG)? Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 A fair few opportunities. With your background, an in-house Market Access or Pricing role is very possible and often, depending on seniority, comes with excellent pay : WLB ratio. The Pharma Guy
+1 So assume “in-person coffee chat” = interview? If they didn’t specify bringing laptops  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Yes but everyone is showing their "good side" on their resumes. KB001

+1 Regarding 2, you should read the 'FX carry' literature and do your own research on which rates measures are most effective for FX trading. Burke
+1 Agreed. And depending on what bank you were at it never left, just did more RX than usual  Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 Any news on Centerbridge, Vestar, Audax, HIG, Harvest, Berkshire, insight , GI, Francisco? analyst124
+1 Semi-target not ideal GPA, haven't heard anything. Based on this thread, I'm hoping it's almost entirely MFs/top UMMs that have kicked off and everyone else is waiting to go.. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 bump anyone hear back for interview? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You see Ross/Stern type graduates at MF and EB due to the volume of students that attend those schools. What you don't see is the large portion of grads taking random jobs that are not even traditional finance jobs. masterrofnone
+1 RJ got some crazy talent Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Late bump but dealing with #1. It's frustrating beyond belief and I wake up most weekdays stressing about job security. Business School in CorpStrat

+1 the audacity of piper to abuse analysts in Charlotte of all places lmao Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 I think you can do it now with the expectation that you’ll commit at least 2-3 years at your next firm.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Based on most of the comments in that other thread it seems pretty clear a lot of people haven't used LLMs to any real degree.  cragfar
+1 A company generally prefers chapter 11 because management stays in control and the business has more flexibility - you could do a reorganization, asset sale, or chapter 11 liquidation, or convert to chapter 7. big_dawg
+1 I’m an equities guy so grain of salt but my understanding is that it will take a few years to get production meaningfully up. TopBoy.-
+1 If you are talking about fine-tuning prompts as if it is an important part of the RE business, you are NGMI larry david
+1 Just be yourself. Stop worrying about how people might label you or justify your job. There are always haters. You play the hand you’re dealt and it sounds like you played it well for yourself. MindYourOwnBiz
+1 Sometimes I frame it as "what do we want to look like at exit?", and work backwards to align on the action items and timeline. That should help uncover the big strategic decisions that need to be made. The Real Donnie Azoff

+1 Already ran anon857
+1 Wow rare pro-fiction take. I applaud this. Raijin
+1 BMO M&M yolobanker123
+1 Pretty much, the only people who don't get them are the ones who literally don't meet the application requirements, so if the application says "Must graduate by X date" and you don't, then you probably won't get a hirevue. usernameladiesman217
+1 no I applied for NYC first jennyd_ng
+1 Hi! I work at a MM, and you are correct that the levered business will have a higher EPS because more leverage = more interest, but this question is asking about your understanding of market multiples. Investment Analyst in HF - RelVal

+1 these figures are almost guaranteed to be % on cash invested…remember this is the type of ego to brag about his returns to his cab driver. Analyst 3+ in HF - Event
+1 Know how to build a perfectly dynamic model from the OM in a short period of time. Entry-level job market is nonexistent right now, so they will be expecting an Associate-level model to hire you. Prospect in RE - Comm

+1 Seems like hirevue is auto for GS whoooo

+1 Working at EB right now - if I haven't spoken with HHs already in the past couple of months, is there anything I can do to get in front of these on cycle processes or is it too late now? Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 Has the potential to be one of the most fun playoffs in recent memory, I think. A lot of very flawed and/or unproven teams that could make a run but could just as easily crash and burn spectacularly.  CRE
+1 Below, can be sweaty, good comp VP in IB-M&A
