+1 Keep your head clear going into the internship, you never know you might end up loving it and it sounds like a great role. FT ER recruiting is very case by case basis with the firms and what seats are open. research goblin
+1 Yes, actually wrote one. See below: IBWriterMachine
+1 I think you misunderstood me. 1 of the 20 internationals have placed. The other 19 internationals did not place. I'd say ~15 from my program placed of 40 overall that recruited consistently. AnonymousMonkious
+1 Curious what job opportunities are available/helpful for IB analysts/PE Associates looking to build an "operator" skillset. Summer Associate in Risk Mnmgt

+1 Man, if you’re going to scam people, you really should be setting your sights a bit higher than $3M… CRE
+1 Here's an idea: talk to her.  Asking a bunch of assholes and trolls and asshole trolls on a blog isn't going to answer any of these questions for you.   - troll asshole UFOinsider
+1 LOL it's funny that you bring up poor logic when you're the one arguing against a fair trial. I can have an opinion. You can have a different opinion. Should I be right or should you? anon1019

+1 I had a poor experience with them, they reached out to schedule an interview, then did not show up at the designated time - never even canceled, and then never responded to my follow up email. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Randomly stumbled back upon this thread and thought I'd give an update that I've been accepted into the two year MiM at LSE and am on track for a first in my ug, also founded and building a fintech startup in a really inte exes63
+1 Late response. They care heavily about Minnesota fit and only want people with ties to Minnesota. People who lived in Mn or go to UMN. Most people are from Notre Dame, UW Madison or Carlson. zyrenfxar

+1 How you say things is as important, if not more, than what you say. Your presentation, speaking skills, all need to be on. point. All superdays and interviews are vibe checks. tenthbox
+1 imagine being justin kim and reading about how your retarded as fuck friends got caught and exposed you as well Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 I think what he means is "analysis paralysis." At the end of the day investing carries risk no matter how prepared you are. Fred Fredburger
+1 @GEBanker - No relationship is ever 100% perfect. Every partnership involves trade-offs, and based on what you’ve shared, this sounds more like a blessing than a problem. Open and honest communication is essential. CapTableTriage
+1 It’s GP Stakes. Very strong group, number 1 or number 2 advisor in the space. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I have a very similar profile and above comment is very untrue. I'd reach out to the MD or the analyst because this might be a technical issue. ducudvsb
+1 Smaller lifestyle shop with a lot of former GE Capital leadership. Depending on the role you’re looking at, it can be largely portfolio management at the junior level. Associate 1 in Private Credit
+1 This guy doesn’t know ball TheBig3.5
+1 You seem to have a generally negative view in this thread, so I'll take with a grain of salt the fact that you took a two sentence cursory explanation and made a lot of assumptions based on your view point.  Multif@mily4Life
+1 wow so surprising, the two most hardo clubs in the country Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+1 I had an additional call 2 weeks after the superday with an ED and VP. It’s all pretty random, don’t stress out about it. pmurph
+1 Hi Transcending, Thank you for some really good information. I was wondering when you got your interviews was solving leetcode style questions important? 124133939
+1 where do you live? i'm assuming not NYC. i think the next big bump will come when you have kids. if you still feel you can afford the life you want with kids, then you've basically won the game. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs

+1 can confirm Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 Gaming is one of the worst spaces to be a VC. It's telling that out of all of A16Z's funds, including AI, SaaS, crypto, fintech, healthcare, growth, etc., gaming has the worst performance. VC_since13
+1 You would be a redditard throwingawaytime
+1 Wow, anything is possible  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I have never heard of someone of any political alignment being a self-professed eric adams supporter, will there actually be consequences? Do you guys think he'll go to jail for this? Ozymandia
+1 But the problem isn't where rates end up.  It's the erosion of the independence of the Fed that matter. Ozymandia
+1 PEarbitrageDo you have any idea how the Supremacy Clause works when it comes to legal law enforcement activity by federal agencies?  Ozymandia
+1 Dev_WanaBe Pokemon Master
+1 Not intern - ignore title but was in very similar situation. Not low income but came from middle-class immigrant household and took an offer in a group that's really "traditional IB" so basically non-coverage/non-M&A. Intern in IB - Gen

+1 Congrats on AmSec Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 What standards? You can't even be bothered to write an email yourself. What corners do you expect your employees to cut?  IsItREPE
+1 Hardly. The point was that reddit is where these kind of fan things are discussed.  IsItREPE
+1 iercurencWhat's more pathetic is your inability to read sarcasm. "It's just a joke, bro"  WeatherController
+1 Dr. Rahma DikhinmahasActually, just for the record, your post saying the ICE agent "murdered her in cold blood" is the most pathetic thing on WSO. WeatherController
+1 Dm me your pitch.  borg1523
+1 Used to be at one of the RX consulting shops, and no, much less of an emphasis on "target" schools. Look on linkedin, you'll see a diverse bunch of schools. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Yes, I deferred my offer by 1 year. Have friends at JPM who did similar.   If you have an offer for Fulbright, Schwarzman, Marshall, Gates Cambridge etc. most firms will accommodate.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Mix of target and non-target. Typically depends on the region. Ie Texas offices won’t have young Harvard people walking around and will have UT, A&M, SMU people instead. Analyst 3+ in RE - Comm

+1 Following — in the same exact boat haha Prospect in Private Credit
+1 could you share thanks drunkapple
+1 This analysis is simplistic, particularly in the following respects: philip.garcia
+1 Those bonus numbers are outliers. It’s certainly possible, but it’s equally likely that you’ll get a low bonus or zero and lose your seat. Most fall somewhere in the middle. darrowandromedus
+1 are you seriously delusional or do you just like to rage bait?  I'm not going to fall for this trap after this response because I have better things to spend time on...  Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 The answer is more nuanced. usernameladiesman217
+1 Nothing is impossible but it's going to be a serious grind for those firms. I'd take the under on all of them. Also consider that the culture has been impacted by all the failures and turnover that resulted from it. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 ~$500-550 cash, not 100% sure but think carry around ~$3-4mm DAW Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 1st yr in Citi (not M&A/IND/FSG) and placed at MM fund Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 You obviously sound qualified, and yes its unfortunate. Are you going to keep dwelling or take action Intern in PropTrad
+1 Too high, nerd Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 Absolutely do not go to Rotman if you have Queen's or Ivey on the table. Clubs at Rotman have also fallen off pretty hard (although they were always mid compared to Q&I).  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Are you talking about Bachelor or Master's degree?  Banks in USA don't hire master's, while those in UK do, and they hire more master's than bachelors, anecdotally.  littlebirdflyinghard
+1 Was this higher than same level at MS last year? As a datapoint, GS associate 1 top bucket (first full year after stub) was 175k base + 135k bonus last year for FY2024. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Drops Friday or early next week. EBITgoesDah
+1 I've seen it happen many times in $1B+ businesses, you'd be surprised. Obviously not from PE-owned companies. Anonymous Monkey
+1 Congrats on BNY tryyuav
+1 The SD went as you said it would. Also, when should we expect a call/email if we are selected? Thanks.   dounfgenmaster
+1 Friedberg: wholesome chungus science nerdSacks: some decent stuff from him but spends way too much time and gets too many ideas from the X hivemindScamath: terribly insecure huckster who talks nothin larry david

+1 Calm down, Andrew Tate. We know you don't talk to women.  WeatherController
+1 Nicely done! It will be a call either the day of or the next day if you get the offer. If you were on the fence or on the waitlist it should still be a call within the next week Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Honestly that's hard to predict, right now its looking like a great year with a good share of LBOs and new money deals but if you think about last year you have seen how fast the sentiment can change and markets shut down LevFin Lab Newsletter
+1 Thanks man. It's been really rough, Also sucks to be at a great place but with no direction / growth. Feel like i bet on the wrong horse with my career... realestateistrue
+1 Same comp numbers for PC/Infra/RE? Or are these just PE Intern in IB - Gen
+1 wolf point studio at mid 2000s if closer to loop, or onechicago if u wanna be further and can get ur hands on a unit gordoongeekoo
+1 I’m not familiar with the entire process, but all SWFs typically use headhunters to filter through candidates from international countries before having official interviews with the SWF. A_Gigloo
+1 Isn’t the return offer rate quite high though? I heard it was 90% for many BBs. Pro Veritate
+1 Look out at the month ahead of you....every week, you should have at least 2-3 in person meetings (coffee is great) with people, 1-2 intro phone calls, and try to attend every networking event you can. CRESF
+1 I'm seeing a lot of hate for Jason ("turbo lib moron who believes in nothing", "whiny", and ranked 4th in almost every comment), but you have to admit he is almost guaranteed to have the most laugh out loud moments every p Maximum Leverage
+1 yeah, if you don't care for PE, going to bain is not the straightforward answer Prospect in Consulting
+1 No you're right, but it's not "hate". PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 More than a few days is going to likely get the firm to question whether or not to pull the offer. Best approach would’ve been to tell the other firms you will likely have an offer soon to speed things up. sick_willy
+1 M&T Bank in Dallas (COL adjusted $500K all-in) to Apollo NYC (paycut worth exit opps).  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 No Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 "heritage Americans" are far more concentrated in the South, Midwest, and Middle America, which has had far lower wealth accumulation than the coasts due to disconnection from centers of capital. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I don't even go to a non-target - we place tons of kids in top banking/elite buyside every single year. That's why I was so upset. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Could you please send over the questions you got? Thank you! lenovomouse1
+1 Asymmetric downside type play crustycrustacean
+1 “This isn’t just this — it’s that” AI slopmode eatbitda
+1 Bro non-target life is the best. When I was at ASU, we would tan all day out by the pool and party all night with the sorority chicks. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Take into consideration that folks embellish their hours as it is perversely seen as a symbol of pride for some twisted reason. Squeeps
+1 I accepted a role at a BB for this summer in IBD I only saw 1 person from Oxford and 1 person from Cambridge a lot of LSE, a few UCL, a few Imperial and a number of European masters' students.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 dude seems like he had chad potential but his wife looks...underwhelming...and seeing as they've been together since hs(?) I guess he's basically only been with her lol cmg6498
+1 Lmao depends on how close you are with the person. Also profanity is encouraged with colleagues and frowned upon with clients, pretty good rule to adhere to BBG STRU Enjoyer
