Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 The school has some things in place to help students (campus recruiting, alumni networking events for IB roles on campus, specialized "backdoor" resume drops for IB summer analyst positions, etc). Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Just curious, but is coffee chatting/networking before applications open typical for HK SA recruiting? victoriacho
+1 Last summer it was Uber after 9, dinner ($30 Uber Eats) at 6 but you have to stay till 8, gym in building and they give banker bags. On weekends, they give 2 meals and Uber to / from home. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 Operationally we’re hands off aside from hiring executives and anything strategic finance related (LTIPs, M&A, refinancings, etc.). We defer to our above market comp executives to execute. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 The question is for the wrong side of the Atlantic. It’s completely fine to ask for time off as a Grad, hell, even a Long Term intern. stayfrosty1337
+1 Thanks everyone. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Not a zero, but this company has had cap structure issues for 20 years investor45
+1 me too got the call from the recruiter this morning! congrats! Prospect in Consulting
+1 From my experience they do not do any significant underwriting / modeling. Syndications is all about networking so people do move banks. Analyst 3+ in RE - Comm
+1 Generally you’re stuck with (really) bad companies , with too much capital chasing too few situations investor45
+1 70 usually, Shea is paradise Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I always have to resist laughing when banking analysts tell me they can’t wait for their personal lives to improve after they get into PE, especially when it’s a UMM or MF Devils Advocate

+1 This was just a debate about the argument - ok so if you can't be proven right with logic then just turn it into personal comments and talk about DM’ing someone to flirt on WSO. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1  BofA barely pays their associates  A2A a joke because associates get paid like analysts  Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Funnily enough, I did study hard sciences. Rebutting with logic does not equate to feminism. It's not right to make up stuff no one said, and turn it into unfounded personal comments/attacks. Good night. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Can someone internally confirm any of these threads Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Del Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 They are always doing cuspy deals. And as a counterparty they are not the easiest to deal with because you have to watch out for yourselves every step of the way. Analyst 2 in HF - Event
+1 The prestige trap is real. We spend years obsessed with getting the right internship and the right analyst role, only to realize we're just trading our best years for a line on a resume.  dean787
+1 Bump NSS64
+1 Not convertible. Useful for gaining some connections, but my advice is do not go into it expecting convertibility. I did it last year. AlphaJoe47
+1 You can choose to believe me or not - I’m sharing what I’ve seen based on my experience and my cohort of bankers I followed  through the ranks. RBOB_squarepants
+1 Very hard, focus on off-cycles. Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 the more dcm is important to the platform then the better the pay will be. Is DCM important to MS/GS or Mizuho? VP in IB - Gen
+1 As someone who's in an analyst sort of role currently an developer/owner-operator shop, and paid pretty well with a pretty solid WLB, I'd go with being a broker. fillerm
+1 If you get fired for trying, it’s a clear cut retaliation lawsuit  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 It took automation around 40 years to really displace factory jobs. Its not apples to apples but these things do not happen as quickly as we think. Manufacturing was 40% of the workforce in the 40s before automation. ahjeezrick
+1 their inv in ABA / Action is looking good  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 I hear you — city life can definitely swing wildly depending on the area and times. bobybryan
+1 I took Fundamental Edge a couple years back before starting my seat and honestly most of it was fluff. Brett going through long decks of info that sounds good but isn't practical. Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 pretty silly question - the obvious answer is just having your own RE, making tons of money, and not having to work much. fillerm
+1 At my bank (T2 in Frankfurt), it has been common practice for quite some time to hire interns a year in advance and new analysts approximately a year in advance as well. Frankfurt Monkey
+1 Deutsche RM2817
+1 Big3 work has been awesome. Graduated in 2021 so got some post COVID healthcare tail stuff then crypto and been agnostic since. EBITDARMX
+1 Workout and distressed desks (w/r/t BBs) are two different functions within the bank. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 ARGUS Helpline is your best friend: 1-888-692-7487.  Never had a question they couldn't answer.  asmith_1
+1 yeah those two things are not a coincidence and are in fact highly correlated.  "if we don't pay him, he'll leave" "he can't leave, the job market is ass rn" "oh so dont pay him lol.  when's our tee time?" asmith_1

+1 Sometimes the weaker acquirer has the extremely rare corporate asset: self awareness  leftcoastlenny
+1 Had a friend that interviewed for that KKR role - surprised the offer was so low.  Investment Analyst in HF - Event

+1 therealgekko financeabc
+1 where are you going? no_home_jerome
+1 What you're describing here is "tall poppy syndrome," which isn't unique to hedge fund contexts and men aren't the sole perpetrators of it. PEPrincess
+1 I can't believe a discussion like this generated so much engagement.  Pulisic69
+1 Good point here, allow me to rephrase: "most people don't have much sympathy for social pressures for people above X age." You're well into adulthood, have some personal agency and take some personal initiative to achieve PEPrincess
+1 Might as well make it 8 days at that point VP in IB - Cov
+1 Re-read my original response. Forget your life, the trajectory of **your family**, your entire bloodline... you're going to let it hinge on one number on your resume? WestPeaker69
+1 Millions of people died during COVID and this is what we get? A disgrace Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Did the same thing with no repercussions Intern in IB - Gen
+1 comp touches 400k as ASO1. Culture is rough. you invest across the capital stack so it's interesting what stage are you at? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 funnily enough i have also heard the same about HL. all the mm sponsor mills have a rep of this to some degree or another Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 When you start asking whether it’s time to leave, it’s probably time to leave jimbofisher55
+1 Most likely, this will be a 2010 Obama type result. 50-60 seats lost, multiple senate seats. If the Senate map wasn't extremely advantaged to Trump, he'd lose that easily.  usernameladiesman217
+1 The Republicans / GOP deserve to lose the midterm election. Maybe they will produce sane centrist candidates for 2028 then.  NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Honestly if you’re mid-20s and the role is better than what you had before, I’d probably take it. Going from unemployed back into the industry you want, with a promotion and higher pay, is already a win. alexthomass
+1 Bumping this to see if anyone has more recent insight into how the credit platform has evolved over the last few years under Pablo Salame. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 JEF has always been Bear Stearns maxxing Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Must be the tism  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 its funny to read out loud the 'solve to purchase price' because when things were hot, we had to start with the highest number possible for purchase price otherwise there was no way we'd be competitive. pere797
+1 Not yet, do you know if anyone heard? BTNY1296
+1 For federal surely you know you have to hold for 5 years - for state totally dependent on their rules so no idea how to answer just talk to someone at novoco with experience in your specific state. brosephstalin
+1 I think back to what was said in the beginning of the job, if those things held in place or not. If they didn't follow through, was it the fault of the company/team or was it out of their control? Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 Front office (IB, S&T) recruiting is brutal and happens earlier and earlier each year (and recruiting is concentrated to a small subset of schools). PEPrincess
+1 Development is not as stable but it is intellectually stimulating. Brokerage seems like it's not stable, which is true, but it doesn't rely on as many economic factors as development does. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 It depends on your campus, but you can always circumvent the GPA cut off by networking and having someone from the firm refer you or pull you into the process. PEPrincess
+1 Uhh…have you read the news buddy tryyuav
+1 You won’t get cut because of your GPA but your resume also won’t get picked at random because of your GPA. Network.  tryyuav
+1 Wells Fargo is unironically paradise  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I mean that AUM needs to contract and pricing needs to go higher or the industry won't make more than its cost of capital. Basically every publicly traded credit vehicle trades at a discount to nav. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 bump + interested Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Sounds like a great opportunity, wonder if they are going to focus recruitment from the DC area Assist. VP in IB - Gen
+1 Well I can understand that. But if positions are so hard to come by, why are there no quality applicants? Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Saw somewhere they were looking from the top bulges so NYC/SF/LA definitely in play VP in IB - Cov
+1 IMO, no. You don't need to pretend your family lives there but you can make up some reason about the nature, the city, wanting to get out of NY and into a smaller city... Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 interested on others thoughts VP in IB - Cov
+1 Anyone have the link? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Yes, very possible with your background. I speak only for the EMEA region, however, during my recruiting experiences into and around FIG so take my opinion with a pinch of salt.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Here is the link to the 2026 CRE Annual Bonus Survey, hope this helps nontargetdemon
+1 How do you get in contact? Or is it only if H&S reaches out to you? The_Riddler

+1 bump how is MBA 2+2 recruiting these days? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 RBC is very inclusive. Plenty of gays in the Calgary office  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You really have nothing better to be doing? Super weak comeback by the way. rolo25
+1 I think this is originally Stifels team so expect LMM deals  overlord481216
+1 He knows ball Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I heard back at 2 weeks, with a MM HF. I felt that was on the slower side too. buysidepanda
+1 Any degree program makes you an alumni. What doesn't count is those $5K online courses and Harvard Extension courses. Executive MBA is borderline, but counts.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 If you're dead set on commodities all the way then Geneva is the best city to be in. If you get a great traineeship then go for this option i think Revama69
+1 It's okay to be uncertain about your profession because you're still rather young. You can obtain employment in accounting, auditing, or finance with the "ACCA" qualification. dollyartasia
+1 It must be that guy who is a DB brand ambassador, who is an incoming summer analyst there. Wears pinstripe suits. Saying that he's working 80 hour weeks... He's at university still.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
