+1 A lot I know have been cold apply tbh. Lot of it is about luck and timing Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Wld also flag EQT (mother brain) here... lappingezcomps
+1 How big is the overall firm? Is this US or Europe? 10 is small and your career progression is tied to culture with team.   Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 wtf does that even mean? renegade1
+1 Check out Stacy Rasgon’s twitter - lots of good stories and advice there. Semi analyst at Bernstein. Analyst 2 in AM - FI
+1 Crestline has a hedge fund arm (believe it is called SummitTX now). Their private credit team works across direct lending and opportunistic strategies. Great place with great people. Bot845
+1 I’m going to a mm platform to start a pod. Currently deciding offers from the following firms, would you share your view of these platforms in terms of culture, infra and data? alphaMiner
+1 No, idk why they’re trolling. FleetingSpirit

+1 could you please elaborate? John.Denver
+1 Small talk partially but more so to show you care/remember. BBG STRU Enjoyer
+1 have a couple friends that got it, don't beat yourself up over it. all were absolutely elite thinkers. fundamental_edge_alpha_harvesting
+1 Easy Fog8081
+1 Did a first round for fixed income s&t last year, so should be at least tangential to your process. Interview was with associate and VP and iirc, 90% behavioral with some market questions. Intern in IB - DCM
+1 Should be fine as long as it's equivalently regarded. Good to check in with them first like you mentioned Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Heard spots are filled already. Could potentially be wrong, so don't quote me on this...  123qwerty
+1 That makes sense - the fee drag is way less for independent sponsors. kuf135
+1 a paper three statement model.  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Well said. Pretty eye opening how IB really doesn’t provide translatable skills to do anything outside of M&A on the corporate side (at least from the viewpoint of those making the hiring decision). Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 how big is EVRs M&A IB vs the BBs? Pretty remarkable that they managed to get into top 5 globally, given their size and US focus  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Analyst 2 in IB - CovThis is not completely wrong, but it is embellished.  Finance Bueller
+1 Avoid Canadian banks - they’re super gay about those things Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Asked people who left recently and you should too. Sounds like an absolute shitshow. Still in disbelief how bad they talked about this shop kingkong12
+1 Glad to see it. Remember this feeling. Remember that you wanted this. Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+1 Hi, I just read your post from a few years back and wanted to ask if you actually made a successful move? marietakitanski
+1 had a similar GPA in HS because i never studied just fucked around, but had high test scores. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 But I wanted to know what experience I could secure this summer before I enter college? tenthbox
+1 Spareroom is the site you’re looking for. Openrent to a lesser extent. Also various Facebook groups (search short let, sublet, etc) SLB00
+1 I did not even know IE could ever reject one person lol boib_1
+1 Could anyone share good biotech financial models or resources (e.g., rNPV, licensing models, deal valuation, etc.)? Thanks in advance! PierreVon
+1 Congrats! I'm also puzzled where you heard HK's capital markets aren't great - maybe historically it's been quite cyclical. Currently very busy across the top BBs, especially China ECM.  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Total crap school. Keep your expectations to a minimum . If you find it good, then seriously you need to up your standards. There is no otherwise. alexti
+1 bump spoopybanker
+1 Appreciate it, I have really been struggling to find positive LinkedIn examples of those who were clearly government scholars and then broke bond / exited to a good finance gig. Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 HK climate is much better - if you could get the offer I’m sure you would’ve read about the number of ECM deals with more secondary listings from mainland. Def take HK for starting career, also considerably higher comp WonderfulOtter71
+1 I'm a senior so take my advice with a grain of salt. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Citi will be on Thursday  bbcb175
+1 Thank you, very helpful! Unfortunately, I don’t have a high enough grade to get into a master’s in finance, and honestly I’m more interested in corporate finance anyway. Odd_part2258
+1 Why do you need to “train them up as deal  makers”? A lot of firms have partners in their late 40s / 50s who can keep at it for another 20 years. Why would they want to dilute themselves at this time? Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 I did my analyst years at MS... its different at that level because everyone is trying to get their 2 years and leave. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 DMing my ex on IB yungho
+1 Knew going in. Did a bunch of PEPI studies…honestly didn’t need to do so much but enjoyed it in some ways. Def see people exit to VC stuff or get looks at minimum. Works at McKinsey
+1 It’s a bubble with less than a year before it pops…  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Corp_titanHere it is. Let's hear all you couch warriors claim that YOU would have known she wasn't going to hit you, wasn't going to kill you. financeabc
+1 Pretty funny seeing this right after that one thread about “hyper-qualified European interns flooding the market.” Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Not sure why mods removed my last comment?  Yeah feel free to message me - would love to have a longer form discussion on this as I've been in the private software investing space for awhile. kuf135
+1 Joined a few months back and didn’t align to PEPI/private capital right away, but will be focusing on getting reps this year. user12349789284
+1 Offers out Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 yes tenthbox
+1 You have to tell us what you blew it on. SonicBoom12
+1 VP in IB-M&AWhat’s your nw now Guy above - high 20s Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 have a few primers, feel free to pm pmc149
+1 Neat question! Based on land value rather than crop productivity if the local lord isn’t able to win in the global grain market and is thus incentivized to sell. Golf Polo
+1 As a Jew, crazy to see how little activity there is on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Research Associate in AM - FI
+1 Hi, OP here, thank you for such a perspective! Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 URMs get access to insight programs, which often lead to accelerated interviews. TrySomeMalort
+1 Yet he doesnt. None of them do. AI is a tool that phases out the bitch work. Also who is "us analysts". Arent you an umeployment senior? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Canada monkeywonder
+1 im a black male flyingshoe42
+1 Most places offer low to mid single digits % of the firmwide carry pool to their partners. Can be fixed or have a jump ball component. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Is water wet? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Many larger firms chose not to interview JPM candidates Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Large wealth management firms such as UBS organize advisors into teams formally called “groups” that jointly manage clients and responsibilities. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 Sweatshop but good culture Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Would also add Nut Tree to the list. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 in waves for sure. Wait until Feburary because I did an exclusive networking event just for my school and the HR said R1 are sent out around Jan - Feb and SD are sent out Mar - Apr. ibibib999
+1 Heard much bigger focus on behavioral then technicals, has that been your experience?  diamonddog
+1 GS did not ban recruiting. They just formally are making everyone disclose it. A ton of Goldman analysts signed this week Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Some thoughts. They are risky for a few key reasons in my opinion:1) Fad risk - can kill your momentum2) PR risk (e.g. health issues) - can kill your brand TobyTwoTone
+1 Would add Walnut Tree and Almond Tree to the list as well lim12
+1 Shitty PE and corp dev jobs.  Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 These stock pitch competitions end up being so nefarious nowadays. whoooo
+1 I don’t think you get it. There is no correlation whatsoever between model granularity and total returns. Forecasting tiny line items totally unnecessary. Managing Director in HF - Other
+1 Would never expect to read something like this on a site like this. Almost 18 and I could definitely use your words as motivation. Big thanks! CarmineFalcone
+1 Fr, and so many mentorship groups (OSG...) basically just build kids pitches. Gets a bit disheartening, wish the rejects (me) could even get 1-2 sentences of feedback on why they didn't like our pitch. FleetingSpirit
+1 Senior leadership besides a few people are fairly clueless Pay sucks as far as I know cre-23
+1 Congrats on JPM! Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 No single person would argue DUC > GUGG 🤣 Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Bump, similar situation Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I believe Silver Lake canceled their analyst program no? Warren Icahn
+1 Target obv wuandale33
+1 Buddy, no one at my target takes JPM over EVR. Unheard of. Multiple people also took EVR (or EBs such as PJT or CVP) over MS or GS. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Shoot for the stars, and you will land on the moon. Going to target will definetly give you an edge, but if you were to look at the numbers, it's not really the end all and be all. tenthbox
+1 I suppose it depends on what you're looking for exactly - what are your specific areas of weakness? tenthbox
+1 My dad graduated from a no-name university in EMEA and my mom never finished high school. Up until I reached high school my father had never made more than 50k and my mother has steadily averaged around ~40k per year. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 No, one of the mm practices. In touch with some alum at EVR/PJT but not recruiting with them for FT, looking to lateral down the road if all works out here first lol mezzaninemonkey
+1 Stop trolling buddy lol Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Question one is, is this meaningful? tenthbox
+1 The comment above is fantastic. In addition, to actually identifying opportunities, I'd start with a LinkedIn search, whilst setting geographies. Draft a list of 50 shops where you think an experience in could be useful. tenthbox
+1 The problem is more of the capital in DL is interval funds with investor redemption rights (investors are fleeing, see articles in FT on the Blue Owl fund) and then public BDCs where the price action says more than enough. Managing Director in HF - Other
+1 Delete this bro Irishoptimist
+1 Classic jeet post Senior VP in IB - Cov
+1 Echoing the above. choc.mint.cookie
+1 del del del Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Standard cold email format moneymaker03
+1 Where do the other LACs like Colgate, Washington & Lee, Middlebury, Colby, land fw4532
+1 Wouldn’t be surprised if he did some shady SBL loans. He did a ton of volume too. I used to work at a Walker type place and we fired our office’s SBL team due to bad loans made to questionable borrowers. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Pretty predictable for this to happen given massive fees and very little oversight / auditing. leftcoastlenny
