+7 It’s not about the size of the bulge, it’s about how you use it Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+7 (1) Is it worth trying to make trader at first, rather than switching to the prop-side at a trading house/fund as an analyst first? Trader in S&T - Comm
+7 Whoever made this list has literally no idea what they are talking about. It’s easily one of the worst I’ve seen on the forum to the point it’s likely engagement bait Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+7 When every human under 35 with a pulse and an internet connection has been served an ad about breaking into Investment Banking/Private Equity/Hedge Funds/Quant Firms can search you up on LinkedIn and brute force your compa PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀

+7 Anonymous Monkey: the biggest disparity between guys/girls has to be gugg ... some model tier dudes but mid girls Okay but Molly though Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov

+7 Congrats on OSU and GL with PE recruiting!  #SellSide4L rolo25
+7 Funny to read but god I have to cringe to think that these days it will likely not be uncommon that you have kids from ~14 y/o already larp about and be interested in 'finance' due to all these social media nonsense.  Associate 2 in PE - Other
+7 Word. But if possible if you have an issue with your MD best to try to solve it directly with them. If not through colleagues. Publicly shaming someone should be last resort. Hags28
+7 Hey bud, Themaster441
+7 UBS hatewatch doesn’t stop  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 Bet TonyWhiteBartlet
+7 Can't tell if you're joking or not but I'll treat it as a serious observation. The main thing that you're not taking into account is how those hours are spent in finance vs. a start up.  Determined
+7 Associate 2 in RE - CommI hope for the sake of you are a new grad. CRE
+7 Have known quite a few people that joined first-time funds over the years. Principal in PE - LBOs
+7 This isnt even worth responding to lmao.  Associate 3 in CorpDev
+7 If you asked how accurate is Barbarians at the Gate, understandable, I may have given you the benefit of the doubt but asking about those movies makes me have no doubts you're a retard GS under Blankfein
+7 Good question and a difficult one. My honest advice is to choose to align with whatever senior banker is strongest themselves in your team (as long as they cover a broad enough vertical). Count WACCula
+7 Have tried posting a comment here a couple times but keeps being automatically taken down within a second so included my comment below as a picture. The_Biotech_Banking_Expert

+7 You need to balance your time here. Mastery 7 IB Shitter
+7 Weird. Not like it matters (would be pissed if our interns excluded one of their own regardless) but, are there any obvious discrepancies between you and the others? Are you the only non-target? Only target? rolo25
+7 We have worked with a range of officers and enlisted military MBA applicants. David White
+7 This is a wild thought.  For most situations, who cares? Ozymandia
+7 Getting a brand name MBA won’t help you get a job at HF. If you can get one, you can get one now and if you can’t, it’s unlikely to make a difference. Same with private equity. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+7 mate entire team looks odd. There is just something sleazy about their pictures and profiles Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+7 Don't bother reaching out - he will send you spam / you have to pay Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+7 Same bullshit all these AI companies have been peddling for years.  They "sell" a deeply unprofitable, borderline useful product. Ozymandia

+7 Probably some bias showing, but I saw between 2015-2022 or so the industry kind of deluded itself into thinking that managing the asset didn't matter and that aggressively chasing income came with no risks.  cragfar
+7 It's the networking ones. overandout
+7 this is some time ago but we had a horrible day on this random industry group pitch (no business was ever going to come out of this)  GBB_19NHS
+7 Last week, Qatalyst fell off. Every week to this day on WSO, Jefferies, Lazard, Bank of America, PWP fell off. So GS TMT falling off should be very normal.  Summer Associate in IB-M&A

+7 I was swimming in the pool at Asphalt Green on the UES and heard some kids playing a game of Marco Polo. It triggered my PTSD and I almost drowned.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen

+7 Let me know when you find out, been 5 years looking Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+7 Private Credit Associate here. Portfolio monitoring is either done by the investment team that originated the deal or by a dedicated internal portfolio team, depending on the firm. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+7 Noticed a spike in brand new accounts posting on the other women in HFs thread the last few hours, all pushing this same narrative. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+7 Start cleaning out your desk lol Regional_pubfin
+7 I agree with a 1 year masters and would even suggest NYU Schack since you can get in eyes closed. Fred Fredburger
+7 ^I’m not sure if you’ve had direct experience in your career working on biotech financings or IPOs as a lead-left bookrunner, but based on nearly a decade doing this and watching tons of analysts and associates develop und The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
+7 Congrats on the UBS! Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+7 OP, you're spitting absolute gospel, but you're still being way too polite about this catastrophe unfolding in front of our eyes. Prospect in RE - Other
+7 Commercial insights come from consistent work in industry, not pitch contests and school funds. Pitch and case contests to me are to help with scholarship funding and have no barrier of entry. VP in CorpFin
+7 The Social Network is also just one of the greatest movies of the 21st century. Worth a watch for Fincher's direction alone.  jarstar1
+7 In fact they are already on their way as we speak VP in IB - ECM
+7 Untrue on all counts simple LinkedIn search man rooseveltfan
+7 Wait till they start stealing your bonuses. You will pick up their slack and get paid less. MD wants them to succeed over you so he can collect a fatter bonus.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+7 I’m in UK and took under 6 months mat leave. I was shocked I got a full bonus when I came back. VP in IB - Cov
+7 All grads there are into that whole Yale thing Dazzling-External-29
+7 Essentially, I think it's a poor draft that looks like an undergraduate summer analyst resume and think you are writing in way that shows a lack of self confidence. I think you're capable of more than that. Associate 3 in HF - Other
+7 No my hours in PE are significantly better than my banking time however I am still pretty busy (10/11pm, also why I am happy to have moved as going to sleep at 3am every day is just a recipe for a heart attack in 10y). Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+7 My 2c - grass isn't always greener. SaaSChimp
+7 I think it’s a general question of what compensated opportunities bankers can take outside of work especially since FINRA is extremely strict with OBA and conflict of interest is a legitimate concern. Principal in PE - LBOs
+7 Sure why not, life is too short. VP in PE - LBOs
+7 Don’t ruin the confidence your manager has in you and escalate things. I say this because you’re leaving - it won’t affect you at all but will likely have a negative impact on your manager. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+7 So I spent a fair amount of time with this business. It is helpful to segregate whey it's useful to BX and what it's trying to do. History within BX: Trader in HF - Event
+7 There are very few licenses that go up for sale as they are owned by publicly traded companies and well integrated within their ecosystem. JZJammer
+7 IsItREPE
+7 I know of multiple people that asked to get RIFd. They always do it. VP on my team did it last month. Never quit, you must monetize your position. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 From the perspective of a 1st year A2A at a bank (arguably EB, probably not always considered EB on this site) with a 3yr analyst program. Really the biggest thing is effort for me. PlzFixThx
+7 Why isn’t she involved in the family business? Senior VP in RE - Other
+7 Looking back - knew in 6 months. Ofc dragged it out until I got softly pushed out because why not, good learning despite the setup and leaving your post MBA VP gig early isn't always the best look.  VP in PE - LBOs
+7 UBS hates Americans Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+7 Shes gonna catch more than a stray if she's not careful. (My dih that has STD's) RestIess
+7 Is my 2 incher when soft a true dih? RestIess
+7 Damn Citi HC replaced IND Prospect in IB-M&A
+7 If they chop Marco they probably will get rid of most of the Barclays MDs at the same time. Only reason no Barclays MDs been fired yet is because Marco shields his people over everyone else Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
