+1 surprised i dont see the gme dude, isaiah and the token indian dude defending their supreme leader anymore these days. skdkcnc198456
+1 🤡🤡 skdkcnc198456
+1 Appreciate the breakdown. What are you weighing when comparing policies on both sides? I think that’s where the real misalignment between you and me lies.  Determined
+1 In his first presidency he was surrounded by competent people who contained him. Sharky286
+1 Cornball “HBO Industry” larper. “Thats literally me”🤓 as an intern chadmaxxer
+1 Missed that this is for FT. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Perella and not close. Significantly higher comp (almost 2x lmao) with better culture. Will get same experience they have a ton of deal flow in HC. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Stay away from powder, adderall, and energy drinks. Seems difficult when everyone at your desk is taking a 40 mg Vyvance M-Friday, but if you need, just stick to coffee & Zyn. rolo25
+1 Is that 50+ physical books or e-books a year? If yes, good for you - that's a solid achievement. Deo et Patriae
+1 I was a Princeton undergrad, but took many of the MFin classes there, as they were cross-listed for undergrads under ECO/ORF. I found them all very topical and they definitely helped me in recruiting. Research Analyst in Research - Other
+1 Is it possible for coverage to go to PC? And how if so? Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+1 Not really, time better spent networking doobeedoobeedoo
+1 This has to be troll and, if not, it's not a concern that is high leverage for my engagement.  PEPrincess
+1 Analyst 2 in IB - Gen: Congrats on UBS! case and point Intern in IA
+1 Working in public markets is not for soft hands like yours.  longandshort
+1 U think others are nice? Lemme tell u a story, when we were doing summer internship and a friend did not get return, many just chose not to talk to that person anymore, these ppl are way worse than not nice. eatbanana1234
+1 Not crying because you remember 100 people from your undergrad alone who wanted your seat and didn’t get it  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Every year or two they would send around an updated PDF at a couple of schools introducing Abdiel, and our investment club would send it around. AfterCarry
+1 Intern in IB - Cov Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Was just in the same scenario but for US and took the T1 LO offer from one of the places you mentioned. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah this is troll. rooseveltfan
+1 Good question although I’m not sure the delineation holds up. BX and KKR just staff more lean in the buyout midlevel, so I’d be more confident moving up at those platforms than the other two. flipcup
+1 I don't speak french but I do have a European citizenship  L.O.H.
+1 bump, have an offer for bnp afs for sa27, would love to know more about that group, comp, hours, culture, etc. ty! jaart
+1 This is actually a really cool idea 👍 sunilkumar1
+1 Accurate rooseveltfan
+1 4-8 books/yr. exclusively non fiction. Most time spent reading online - articles/research papers/reports, I am a big fan of reading insight pieces and industry advancements. spreadsheeter
+1 Yes and no. Banking has a massive advantage in experience in just the sheer number of reps you do, and often people who do a stint in banking come out much stronger than their peers who did a stint in PE first. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 How many companies can you realistically have time to write meaningful 1-pagers on? Its a bit of a law of large numbers in terms or PE reach out. Rob-the-chimp
+1 Got me an interview at a large shop. The partner basically gave me the run down and showed me the correspondence his group had with AC - they brand your resume with their logo and basically spam the firm. nove
+1 ready to run through a wall CharlesCheese
+1 One side effect that has a pos and neg angle that's been under-discussed  therealgekko
+1 Fair point and let’s see how it plays out  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Never had this happen and was zyning for over 3 years before finally quitting. Quit just for addiction purposes. Never had any negative health side effects. IRR you ready to rumble
+1 Hey guys, my name is Victor Swezey, and I'm a reporter at Bloomberg News covering workplace issues. I'm interested in the talk I've been seeing on here about working conditions at UBS and analysts discussing unionization. vswezey
+1 Compared to what? Your average Citi or even GS Classic banker? Sure. Compared to a ceteris paribus EVR/PJT candidate? Not really. flipcup
+1 Couldn't agree more. I also think college kids and banking analysts don't understand that a MF just isn't the career-maximizing play post-Associate, sometimes even if you can guarantee promotion. flipcup
+1 You could pick Victorian Poetry and be just fine, don’t stress it Developer in RE - Comm
+1 bump dgdidmnr
+1 Bump SEREEEE
+1 bump dgdidmnr
+1 There are age limits too, it's very hard to be hired above 35-40 without running a book at enough scale, regardless of how "good" someone is. cp5670
+1 Congrats on UBS! (Even WSO Monkey Bot getting in on the joke) Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Interesting, thanks for the perspective. I'm incoming at one of these funds and took it over other EB/BB opportunities because I liked the idea of starting in one of these seats vs taking my chances on-cycle. Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 i was in the same situation in an old job. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 TMT is simply the biggest industry for deal making, so everyone wants a part. It's not just the mega deals, but also a lot of MM/UMM deals that happen and might not be as well covered by other banks. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 More people need to. Our world is increasingly illiterate and unimaginative.  CRE
+1 He is a scam, he gave me credentials to try before purchasing. It was on someone’s name from Singapore. quantitative1
+1 what quirks does its model test have that makes it hard? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 curious how hard model tests could get other than time crunch. During OCR, it was mostly just a big time crunch Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 s a great question. While some firms are relaxed about initial requirements, the real issue often comes down to 'broker-dealer speed' and registration efficiency later on. jasper.thorne1
+1 You are in for a surprise if you think you’re going to get any sell side m&a reps at 5/3rd, Blair no doubt that’s a extremely reputable platform Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Rogo is hot garbage.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Hey OP, curious what direction you took / where you’ve landed. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Figure out how to get into the top finance club on campus. Once you’re in, upperclassmen will basically lay out the path for you. fsttrck
+1 Have you done any off-cycle model tests so far and what was the difficulty? Have heard anecdotally that FP on-cycle test was moderately hard (at least for those from non-tech background) Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 are most in-person? feel like hard do proctor take-home tests these days with the proliferation of AI Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 So wholesome! Welcome! PEPrincess
+1 holy ai slop 😂 slime_
+1 I appreciate you taking the time to respond with such detail and care, and was wondering if you could also provide insight into some other difficult questions of this nature:  128473626264828363728
+1 Could these people be going to schools they "want to go to" because they're fine with their life network and are confident, they'll end up where they want to regardless? AnonymousMonkious
+1 If you want to optimize for "maximum employability" then I would study applied math, which generally signals as a rigorous major that permits a person to join any industry including CRE. PEPrincess
+1 always easier to get a job when you have one. agree with above - start searching. find as many coffee chats / lunches / happy hours as you can and the opps will start to come in (not to mention headhunters). iMamba
+1 This is also true, but plenty of funds that liquidated or substantially harvested before rates came up that had the same story, so imho it’s not the full picture. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Could you go a bit deeper into what the buyside exits from ms gcm look like? Had heard that GCM didn’t exit well aside from a few specific teams. biganalyst
+1 Late answer but culture and WLB varies across team. Higher ed is best WLB and HC is worst. Infrastructure varies depending on niche and deal flow. Analyst 1 in IB - PubFin
+1 Idk, I have friends that work at BNP IB, Prop Trading Firm, GS, and now myself included that got these internships without a 4.0 GPA or a 3.0 GPA. Ape_ffm
+1 Maybe. I think you’re certainly capturing right wing dissenters here. Maybe even the majority of Americans. WSOBURNER69
+1 What made FP’s so hard? Is it harder than PF L5 or was it more SaaS modelling quirks (e.g., ARR snowball, customer cohort analysis) that made it hard? Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 What?What language is this? ectmt
+1 Hugh Myron: Jermaine Dupre ft Jay-Z - Money Ain’t a Thang 🎶 “I’ve been spending $100’s since they had small faces…”🎶 Sonny LoSpecchio
+1 Honestly if you don't have a soph internship and are already set for junior year, I would just study abroad somewhere fun and enjoy your last free summer. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 I'll decline the invitation to do the laundry list recap from an ASO 1 perspective, but will say that there are general comments of mine on what should matter for this stage buried in the replies just to the north of this flipcup
+1 Who’s giving a young, non-founder partner equity in the GP? Unless you’re at a TA type of place where it is formulaically determined, you will not sniff GP equity at a “fast growing” platform.  kuf135
+1 M&A and IND strongest. Tech is strong too and has seen some movement in leadership (both inflow and outflow) recently. LevFin is great. GAM has one of the better cultures. Believe FIG has a decent culture too. hocuspocus123
+1 I'm not arguing with you on the math here, it's just that the partners' share of the carry is literally a separate legal vehicle called the General Partner. flipcup
+1 Would say it's one of the better groups within the firm. Just check other threads as well. Majority of the bank's revenue is from Levfin anyways. Check LinkedIn for exits abcday
+1 ASU is more prestigious than them all Pro Veritate
+1 I think a 3.5 or 3.6 is fine. I think you’d have to really drop a lot to get in trouble. Prospect in IB - 5th Year
+1 AI slop is still AI slop even if you write it in stylized lower case print brother liquidiot
+1 Bump anonymous_monkey67
+1 Not necessary. If you’re recruiting IB/PE/HF then the fall will be your busiest semester of college. Lock in your interview performance and network well Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 I enjoyed Fortune Favours the Drunk by Pete Stevenson. I think most guys in finance could relate to it. stuffy36
+1 FIG is strong wookieecatamaran
+1 How the heck do I break into the Owner side of this asset class without DC experience? Seems impossible. VanillaGorilla
+1 Go look through the h1B database and report back: https://h1bdata.info Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Best wso post about. Great advice rambulance
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, the advice here is clear and timeless: when deciding between offers, focus less on external validation or prestige and more on where you personally feel you can thrive. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, the UBS CFO's comments suggest a mixed picture for their Investment Banking (IB) division. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 LSE A&F definitely a better course purely on face value. Can't really comment in depth but both courses have really good professors and good prospects. BigSwinging
+1 The food delivery industry is growing rapidly, and startups need reliable development partners to build scalable and user-friendly apps. elianacammy
+1 What do you expect from this? Markets are competitive, notably in Germany where internship structures are different. You have a contact but you are too late. Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+1 Anonymous Monkey: derekjeter
+1 I think being more competitive is good because you are interviewing against other candidates from different schools guillaume.alexandre
+1 Yes Travelport is a perpetual share loser. The people comparing it to Amadeus don’t really understand the industry. Both Travelport & Sabre are behind technology wise vs the disruptors / Amadeus. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 Any true UMM or MF pays $300k for associate 1, in or outside of NYC for PE. I don’t know any that don’t… Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Yes, precisely. Investment Analyst in PE - LBOs
+1 My brother in Christ they don’t have any nukes and Netanyahu has been saying that Iran is “1yr away from getting a nuke” almost every year FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS. seekinthealpha1
+1 There's only one word I can say here: Why? Kevin25
+1 Had 3 rounds here and got the vibe it’s a sweat shop. I spoke to other folks at similar shops and they confirmed it’s an intense place to work and they’re very underpaid.  dllll22
