+1 betachimpread the book kitchen confidential by Anthony Bourain and you have your answer. It is really one of the toughest areas to make money.  Whatever1984
+1 Yeah you're welcome, I'm pulling for you.   UFOinsider
+1 I'm a VC but don't focus on it. You will never see an outsized return with a studio, from what I know. Any good individuals get poached immediately and any studio with new, good IP, gets acquired pretty early on. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 I’m currently at a similar firm. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 Were any of the blow ups First Brands or Saks? We've already started hearing about investors especially pissed at performance related to those two specifically which will definitely hurt fundraising.  Principal in HF - Event
+1 In that case, shouldn’t your data be cleansed for lead left only vs giving credit for participation trophies? Teller in IB - Cov
+1 sorry to hear that... are you on good terms with your ex employers (bank)? Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 I feel like I reached a major milestone in my life. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 PEarbitrageI don't give a fuck if it is racist or not.  CRE
+1 Lol chapter 7 is in court but not a solution. A solution solves a problem. Ch 7 just dissolves everything...most RX EB's (mine included) won't represent Ch 7 cases. Not worth it Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Fair ranking overall imo. Would have NBF on the same tier as Scotia, and move WF down to Tier B if we're looking at this from a Toronto lens. Canaccord, RJ should have a place on this list as well. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 The same. Just like comparing University of Bath vs University of Warwick Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 A2 post seems accurate. These guys have gone radio silent for over month now after interview, applies to 3 other ppl that also interviewed around same time. carmenjack
+1 Firstly, it is almost certain that you got eliminated from the process and that you won’t be moving forward. However you never know and you might genuinely be waitlisted (best case scenario). jackd2
+1 Back in undergrad I interviewed for a hedge fund where one of the partners was basically both. Pokemon Master
+1 whats $10 gonna do for someone making 300k+ next year son Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 holy crap congrats on canaccord lmao Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 you should want the role for what it entails, not what its labeled as US-LO-PM
+1 Agree, reach out and be sure to take the vacation. Taking a vacation is not going to change people's perception of you. However, I do empathize and understand your logic - getting a subpar review is very stressful. BullishMan
+1 As a Canadian, why are you trying to come here? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Fair ranking. Only thought is that Toronto globals feel over-glazed (ignoring GS, MS, and JPM) because the exits from them are nothing special when compared to B5 M&A.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 God I almost miss the small government anti cop republicans At least they weren’t so damn docile and subservient it’s humiliating eatbitda
+1 Farallon, Baupost, Silver Point, King Street. Pretty large portion of large distressed funds are active in the space. notsospecialsituation
+1 CntrlShiftDownI agree you can’t hijack a road for your protest, but that doesn’t give you license to drive into them. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 I would not want to break it down for a top 3, it depends a bit on the focus you want to have. LevFin Lab Newsletter
+1 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀If you don't want to get hit by cars maybe don't walk onto a highway or into traffic as if it's some private permitted gathering.  IsItREPE
+1 Both are LMM roll-up focused firms. I have limited information so far, but this was shared with me by people I know personally at each firm. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Reminds me of Jonny Kim's resume: Navy Seal Sniper and flight surgeon, Harvard M.D, NASA space astronaut.  Substack_Guy
+1 Let's talk about my broker fee first Analyst 2 in RE - Other
+1 This stuff is feeling more anonymous than last year outside of the MS crew. Which EBs reported at year end and what were the ranges? Seems like CVP were some of the numbers, assume PJT was too? Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 moneymaker03
+1 Like all other industries, if I was an LP (ie customer) I would ask for a discount and some of those mgmt fees to be passed back to me. kuf135
+1 PEarbitrageDude, there is a clear video of him bouncing off of the car  Narrator: This too was a lie  CRE
+1 Surprised stuff like this happens. My group is super gay and feminized, and if this ever happened, those involved would be fired. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 As an associate I think you can definitely switch to another industry. kuf135
+1 Anyone that works in your space. Reach out to VPs of xyz at other fast growing start ups and ask them for advice. Determined

+1 is PCM r1 out? but to answer ur question levfin question, bond math, and why credit - source networking calls plzgivemeajob
+1 Maybe some cities have good ones (NYC?), but I have yet to meet a useful headhunter in commercial real estate.  CRE
+1 A buddy of mine was at a top EB (CVP, BMO, EVR) and got pretty messed up from the hazing there. Both a mix of mental and physical hazing to the point of him having to go to a shrink. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 TheGrandWazooDelete. Not worth the headache.  It’s too bad. It was the best post made on this entire 200-post thread.  CRE
+1 You’re at CBRE right? Who are the firms that the investment sales brokers always take deals to and speak highly of? Apply to whichever firms those are in your market.  CRE
+1 Cussing someone out in traffic is normal. But calling her a “fucking bitch” after you shot at them multiple times doesn’t exactly scream self defense. CntrlShiftDown
+1 heard same thing here. one of my buddies at a BB told me that hes working for them has been getting flooded and legit tells them what they r looking for when interviewing in his feedback. Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+1 Not impossible but growing more and more unlikely with RO %’s falling for candidates within the IB internship, let alone those in outside divisions. Recruiter in CorpStrat
+1 i used it ngl got a comment from someone at truist that literally said, this is one of our first round questions, we r looking for xyz. strugglingstudentlookingforhelp
+1 Even if it’s not on cycle, as a HH I’d question why it takes you 3 days to respond to an email  m8
+1 What round? LazyPear
+1 I jumped off the porch at around 11, and most of the kids I was around probably had similar outcomes as your friends. No kid should be in the streets like that at that age. Miracle1111
+1 Money is God on Wall Street. "In God We Trust"... Miracle1111
+1 Almost all tech companies (with the exception of Amazon, but the downside is that you have to work for Amazon) have a bias against MBAs because they’re seen as worthless middle managers/product managers with no technical s thewageslave
+1 its vueprep.app right? Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+1 i got it, pretty legit tbh, they grade within like a day, and u get actual feedback from analysts and associated. video interview feature is like a 9/10 resume review like a 6.5/10 sublemasublema
+1 At this stage career I don’t think you should care much about culture. It is very unlikely you stay at this fund for the entirety of your career. Obviously it is important to find a team (not fund, TEAM) that fits you. Analyst 2 in HF - Event
+1 Haha. I remember watching that skit with some of the kids I was talking about before things escalated very quickly. Little did we know that this skit would become a reality for many of us in the not too distant future. Pokemon Master
+1 plenty wrong with this, pls fix Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 If you were advising a VP3 at an EB, would you suggest trying to move to a top BB now or waiting until you got the ED promotion first? Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+1 Associate 1 in IB - Cov Managing Director in IB-M&A

+1 Should be fine if you fit in the DEI category.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I'm not sure what a 'Patriot League' is - sounds like a white supremacist group ngl.  tenthbox
+1 Thanks, really appreciate it. bingbongs
+1 Anyone hear back from HV? wso warrior
+1 Might be the worst I’ve seen Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Think they just added mock interviews, but haven't used it. The questions seem good but can't compare them to other resources (haven't used any) subforsub290
+1 It is physically impossible to say.  What are your fees?  What kind of properties?  Any back end promotes?  How much work am I doing? Ozymandia
+1 So much of tech PE is cooked. Funds used to have alpha through their sourcing engine (like accel kkr). Johnson johnston
+1 IB Jamie Dimon and ask for a sneak peek on earnings Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Anyone who had first rounds there that heard back? It seems to be an off-cycle process so not sure how long the expected response timing is. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Brother presentations used to be made with pen and paper - or in fact plastic cut outs glued onto paper. Research used to be done in an actual library. Etc etc. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Great biotech investors. ArrowMark Asset Management, Bullseye Asset Management,  Marsico Capital Management, and NZS Capital have all spun out of Janus Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge

+1 emphasis on Abry and Audax Associate 2 in IB-M&A

+1 they are absolutely not taking 200 interns. theyre cutting the class to ~50 this year from 60-70 last year idk where you heard that Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 They have a massive sourcing team because that used to be their edge….entry valuations have increased in the sector maybe 75-100%. Thats not an exaggeration, I’ve seen the past entry multiples. Johnson johnston
+1 Whatever you do, don’t pick Rotman. Have friends who went there. Awful culture, super sweaty. Bay St. is nice sure but the order really is Ivey>Queens>>>>>> Rotman bananapiano
+1 Agree, if you 1) own the data and 2) own the workflow in a specialized vertical SaaS market, you're well positioned to embed AI across your install base vs worrying about AI first entrants. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 I heard that the TMT group in CLT did a technical screen for R1 and that it was rough badburi09
+1 Yeah, you can't no longer ride the QE money wave. Aka ample financing at near zero and mark-to-market public valuation exits are almost always working in your favour. Quant in HF - Other
+1 Which interviews have you gotten? [email protected]
+1 Agree here, they seem really good. I think for the purposes of this question: just doing a pitchbook screen of returns and fund size growth is a relatively good screener tbh, if you are just looking for a 2-year program. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Fundraising is hard and a lot of funds are struggling. Looks like it's a world where winners and losers are being identified in the MM/LMM space. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+1 Wld also flag EQT (mother brain) here... lappingezcomps
