+1 DEI heavy Capital of Structure
+1 Sorry, you're right that Warwick is.Are you trying for IB? If so, UCL Econ probably wins but if you want some flexibility down the road (quant, data science etc) then Warwick MORSE is fantastic Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Would you mind explaining how Treasury can lead to a potentially quicker path to P&L responsibility? Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Friends don’t let friends work at UBS Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 most normal nyu student VP in IB - Cov
+1 Can be anything from easy 1 hour case studies where you model some cash flows and build a debt schedule to full 4-5 hour models incl. LevFin Lab Newsletter
+1 cuaifubHi! Do you perhaps work in MS GCM? Would love some input if possible but don't want to be rude. Thank you so much! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Hoodie and sweatpants. Make sure you dap up the interviewer as well. dckogdyioo
+1 Shows bad judgement and would break comms policy at many firms, so definitely grounds for firing. MMPM
+1 Just wait until the process is over Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Congrats on UBS! Associate 2 in AM - FI
+1 Congrats! So u did ur spd last wed and just received offer today? Which office btw if u don’t mind share WSJargon
+1 Commercial banking > corporate banking > eb rx  Source: me Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Yep, I’ve also been through two interview processes where they decided to hire nobody. Maybe this is my ego in the way, but I thought they went really well and I was a good candidate. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 It's pretty easy. It depends on your familiarity with terminology, but half of it is common sense. Boom56
+1 Thank you very much for the detailed answers - incredibly helpful and gives me a lot to reflect on. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Get a job in crypto. You'll fit right in. Macro Arbitrage
+1 del WaltSim
+1 Nothing wrong with being hands-on for your first deal or two—you may need to out of necessity. But given your backgrounds, I wouldn’t spend too much time there. REDev225
+1 Did it in less than a week very early in college. Had no prior finance experience or knowledge. Super easy. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 It's worth noting you only need a 70% to pass, which I felt was very manageable. There's not much benefit to studying for many weeks to get a super high score. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1  Attend a better school. But realistically, network, network, and network. The IBW can pull hard into some pretty good job offers, but getting into it isn’t guranteed by any metric Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 What are the best UMM names in healthcare?  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Have worked with their team up and down the equity side, sharp guys. Two of their top equity guys recently got let go, don't know what backfilling there looks like.  Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 I would not wish Veritas on my worst enemies. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 CVP has in-house breakfast / lunches and basically no expense policy limits but most people keep around $60 for dinner Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 You should figure out what style of investing, what location, and what sectors you are interested in. Those funds are all drastically different investing style, sector, and location wise. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Got it. But I’m still curious why banks do this. I’d imagine they’re worried about top talent signing with other banks (hence the earlier wave to lock in candidates). CuriousGeorge1024
+1 Instead of concentrating on every aspect of the site, you may consider concentrating on the larger topics, such as chances for growth, hazards, or ways to increase efficiency. dollyartasia
+1 I would consider whether you want to work outside of LatAm (like the US or UK) later in life. If you want to work in another country, the stronger brand name will be helpful. CuriousGeorge1024
+1 “I have no investing experience whatsoever, but also you have to pay me more than any entry level public side seat” Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Subtle marketing bro Intern in HF - Other
+1 Even if the base were $200k, the risk of losing your seat is very elevated. Need for stable earnings and HF role never marry well. MMPM
+1 I understand the lack of incorporation of the information you need to memorize. CPMA's15
+1 Yeah absolutely, especially for VP+. For ASO1 you’re unlikely to have the choice tbh. But as the other reply says it depends on your preferences. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 lmao I told all my friends at the TB recruiting event in November that TB and Vista gonna be f and FP def not, nobody believed; now, everyone is silent, just how ironic it is that ppl never admit they are wrong. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Wouldn't NYU be the NYU of universities?   You know... since it is a university? Ozymandia
+1 Sonny LoSpecchiobut he did learn from the free content from Grant Cardone and a few others. He WHAT?! IsItREPE
+1 You’re right to feel that way. Especially since, at certain jobs, interviewing at other firms is sort of an act of treason. Urban Mogul
+1 Congrats on ensis! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Don't hate yourselves my savory, aromantic friends: Capital of Structure
+1 you're such a bot bro Wilson194
+1 Your post is a little all over the place. cragfar

+1 Bump - incoming bb intern in nyc, also concerned about what I’ve seen here Intern in IB - Gen
+1 This is why I love this website VP in IB - ECM
+1 Typically in VP years as you start to take ownership over sub-sectors. Ideally you and your broader team has relevant transactions to remarket. Reaganing
+1 Thank you I really appreciate the insight. RevBuildRascal
+1 Yes [email protected]
+1 Dudes a baller. Dipped his pen in company ink and still likely to become CEO Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 I think there are a few things to keep in mind when coming into IB/a Career in general.  PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+1 sphericalintegral101I wouldn’t mind working in Chicago, I would work anywhere tbh. NYC is the ideal place because it is close to home and the city is cool. AnonymousWSO1
+1 Unless the startup has real revenue, a clear path to profitability, and you're getting meaningful equity, stay at the UMM. Alpha Stack
+1 legacy carries the name for sure but many ppl are saying the same thing where DB and UBS are the BB’s that are lowkey questionable rn lol Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 PU&I, M&A, LevFin, Industrials, Energy…avoid everything else Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Investment Analyst in HF - Eventwhen i was in high school, i wanted to make it to the MLB, so i think you're doing better than me AnonymousWSO1
+1 At an Intern level it is usually effort, networking, and asking the right questions. In terms of getting easier, usually people lay off you and you get a little more breathing room around deliverable timing. PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+1 I'm wondering this myself, alternatives to Trading that will survive AI Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Second all of the above, these are the main players in the space. I would also add in no particular order and varying exits: Scotia, Truist, Lazard, Jefferies, Guggenheim, Javelin Capital, and Nomura Greentech. MergersMaestro
+1 Marc Greenberg on LinkedIn. Used to run training for Steve Cohen. I was in the same fraternity as his son Ryan during my time at Wharton. Have only met Marc through LinkedIn but he seems like a nice guy. Hags28
+1 if they’re external to your organization (which they will be) this doesn’t work, all it does is notify them that you tried to recall the email. they can still see it Intern in IB - Cov
+1 They are barely on the map in life sciences. That said, it’s Moelis so they like to go after big markets, work hard, and often succeed more than expected. Hags28
+1 Interesting question — I don’t think AI like Claude fully replaces analysts/associates, but it definitely changes what they do. bobybryan
+1 aged like a wine Bssarrw
+1 had my phone screener yesterday for my team. very positive and great team. told me superday will happen next week or first week of April (at least for my group) blueberry_muffin123
+1 Yes. I first heard of them around 2019. Good firm. They are strong in insurance and have good leadership. Rudy is a leader in the insurance hold co investment space as far as I can tell as he came from Guggenheim. Hags28
+1 Good firm going through a transition. I know Aaron personally. Good guy to work with / under his mentorship. If you can land it and be successful there, you may have a bright future ahead of you in PE / finance. Hags28
+1 If you actually value education in the age of AI I’d try to go Midd and take as many discussion/tutorial based classes as possible. Research Analyst in Research - Other
+1 Second this too^ MergersMaestro
+1 Yea listen, worst case you save up some capital and start your own hedge fund. Good luck  Hags28
+1 I really, really appreciate the detailed write up. Thank you so much. Mind if I ask you one question im debating? I just landed an exit at a corporate the title is "Strategy Associate" and the pay all in is $355k. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 I was in a similiar boat, laid off analyst 2. 9 months later I accepted a strategic finance gig that paid more than banking all in and half the hours and was very happy. I thought it would never work out. Stay at it. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Underrated in my humble opinion. I think it’s a leading group at a major Canadian bank.  Hags28
+1 Job market has been brutal for over a year. Was in a similar spot and ended up landing a role at a dumpster fire portco. Pay sucks but glad to be doing something. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 deleting for anonymity StandardHardo
+1 Avoid RBC FIG at all costs VP in IB - Cov
+1 Lazard has an incredible PUI team Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I agree with this take - there are some people who would really appreciate this, but I also might be getting old and potentially have a warped view. yahoo
+1 Honestly I cant tell you from the outside in perspective. I would suspect large credit platforms like a PIMCO to do well and even profit from the latest development (the opportunistic teams at least). LevFin Lab Newsletter
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov James' Bond
+1 Q- could you share some great resources for people to keep in touch with markets/ investing. Use the usual FT, WSJ but any nicher recommendations will be appreciated! Thanks in advance James' Bond
+1 James' Bond James' Bond
+1 Where did you end up leaving to and how difficult was the process/exit opportunities? Any insight would be amazing. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I sent you a PM Manager in CorpStrat
+1 speaking from experiences in my network, but I can attest that anything beyond $250k USD for Strategy Associate is an anomaly. FinnesseGod
+1 Tbh the DEI opportunities are normally very obviously marked. the problem is that DEI is primarily just a mechanism of hiring a girl from harvard over a boy from harvard.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Guys, less GPT for the UBS hate please.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 U comment this gay little coffee joke literally every single time people are complaining about their job Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Definitely Carlyle. They’re so retarded Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 How is UBS? People on WSO make it seem like it’s pure hell, I’d love to hear your thoughts. ectmt
+1 Leveraged a NY CB offer to get a NY IB offer by reaching out to contacts Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 70-90 hours a week, almost all of that in office. Decent facetime component, usually go home between 8-11 pm.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 wtf jeffrey this my actual social Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 No. I’m graduating one semester early not a year aerotyne_international
+1 Echoing this. Please go to Michigan NextDigg
+1 They got rid of WFH Fridays, which was the last remaining reason to work for UBS Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I would also add that knowing what strategy the firm deals with could help a lot. Do they deal with senior secured lending only? Do they deal with unitranche or go all the way down to mezzanine? bakeoffking
+1 Just tell them they will appreciate it. If they can’t take the feedback that’s on them Prospect in IB - 5th Year
+1 Congrats on discovering chatGPT. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
