Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 I was seeing if I should invest the time to read it. No insult was intended so I am sorry that it came across that way. I did read it just now. Jon B
+1 I know several people who worked at Cyprium and would avoid. They have an old guard of partners who are not active in the business and don't even live in cleveland but are milking the firm's economics. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 They cover pretty solid LMM PE Firms. Higher priced but will be more aggressive on leverage for the right deal. Have pretty decent respect. LMM companies generally aren’t getting hosed OmahaOmaha24
+1 UTD in S++ Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 How are you getting time and a half pay as an associate? Long hours is the norm and you are quoted a fixed base + bonus appleidappleid
+1 Time and a half pay is the greatest comp. Highly doubt any fund is doing that for associates; would be paying up like a mill given how many times we work past 5 PM.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Harvard is more well-known internationally than both of them. Donkey from Shrek
+1 If you go to a target and you can’t get r1s without a referral then either genuinely something is wrong with your resume or you. I had several r1s from a community college w/wo referrals. NFazem
+1 More of the latter actually. Sorry for the post being confusing, I just really don’t know much about hedge funds and how they operate so also unsure about fundraising seats. Do you have any insight on them? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 target no networking and got 10 interviews last yr. freshman year got around 5 no_home_jerome
+1 Maybe. I never really liked the spray and pray style and the comp is also low. Why not growth/VC at series B or C+? Are funds like IVP, NEA, Insight, Greenoaks, Bond, TCV, Iconiq, General Catalyst, etc. sweaty? Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Similar thing happened after Y2K in the early 2000s. Eventually companies went back to onshore employees and cut back on outsourcing. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 got and did my hirevue last week so idk abob
+1 i’d say so, way less spots but also less competition. And you’d never see a random non target from a small liberal arts school land an s&t role like you would in the us. abob
+1 Heard insane comp at Dyal. 300K AN1350K AN2500K AS 1550K AS 2 Obviously, with any smaller boutique, the hours are soul crushing though. northwesterner
+1 If lateraling, you are not getting a signing bonus, which is typically only for new grads / mba grads. Relocation bonus is ~5-10k depending on the bank. FattyAcid
+1 Idk if they're intentionally selected because relationships alone, but children of MD's/Clients are going to have a world of access, connections, and/or resources that will allow them to get those sequences of internships AnonymousMonkious
+1 M&A geekermonkey
+1 Really just depends if they have friends or contacts there. BB in NYC in the same coverage, they likely know someone and might ask to backchannel some feedback Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Industrials is known to be the best team and a sweatshop. Levfin, REGL, TMT are also solid. Rest is very weak with the worst being HC Intern in IB - Cov
+1 As long as you’re not a bot Citi is yours to lose, source a few buddy’s over the years have interned there and all converted mezzaninemonkey
+1 Okay I’ll bite - what’s your current role and what was your career defining moment/decision that go you to where you are today? patrick_bateman_
+1 Nowhere near that. It's really only UMM/MF's that go for on-cycle as is usual, and almost none of them fill their full classes. Numbers are prob closer to ~200. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 9-2am M-Th like clockwork.9-11 Friday and Sunday 0-5 hours Saturday northwesterner
+1 I want to fly. iamether
+1 At one of these - in-office breakfast and lunch cafe (all free and have stocked pantry) + dinner stipend. Business or first class travel (>2hr) + 5 star hotels everywhere. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Also in fig and most common I have seen in terms of direct transfer (no jobs in between or MBA) is actuarial science/insurance underwriter to insurance vertical. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 oops wrong thread pbandjpartners
+1 Should add on here that what these 4 things I look at tell me is whether the team is able to fill an organizational gap rather than just a "product gap". pbandjpartners
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights and advice for your situation: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Interesting read. I'm assuming $400 million was his peak value in the deals? I did like how that press release made it sound like the courts dismissed the case at the start of it and not that they settled in some way. cragfar
+1 How's he liking at at Jef? IceCreamCake
+1 Never claimed I knew it tho trollking1000
+1 Not in the group but worked in another coverage group there. FIG team had some great people - one of the tighter knit teams at the bank. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Shops tend to have a chief meteorologist to be like *the* weather guy for the firm. Outside of that it's not obvious to me that having a minor in meteorology would be a big distinguishing factor in the hiring process. dcn_blus
+1 All 3 are great but personally I would have chosen Evercore unless you want to stay till MD level.Salary differential is too big till the SVP level between Evercore and BBs. ramsingh
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - GenAny idea what comp is like at Associate level and if it's a good place to be at? VP in PE - Other
+1 PrimeInvest broker, was a scam from the start,and unfortunately, my concerns were justified. After I deposited the sum of $15,000.00 and my profits was $115,000, I faced constant obstacles trying to withdraw my funds. sarahjohnsoncole3
+1 bump BratMonkey
+1 flornfinancecash equities  troll answer Executive Director in S&T - Equities
+1 Another Cartier: Cartier Santos or Cartier Santos Dumont. Can find used in the 5-7k range Omega Speedmaster Professional Jaeger Le Coultre Reverse: looks similar ish to the one you like Broker in IB - Cov
+1 WSO has rewired my brain to the point I misread this post as "16 year old, what jobs can I find?" Quant in HF - Other
+1 you've nailed it btw. The minortiy ethnics in banking / PE are all privately educated and come from the same background as many of the white nepo kids. Associate 1 in VC
+1 Average WSO ameritard  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Markets will shake a little on open, but the general idea of the markets is "Nothing happens until something happens" why price in the potential of massive drops through something like this if it's an unlikely scenario?(no usernameladiesman217
+1 But it reveals a bias I'm hearing a lot on the left . . there's a frustration with the ICE agents being a certain type of guy.  "Tactical guy" is my name for it. Ozymandia
+1 BiggestMonkey21What did you decide on in the end? I still have time to decide but if I don't get lbs I’m leaning heavily toward hsg. finnflash
+1 I strongly recommend looking at the NYC developers: RXR, Brookfield, RFR and the like. palm_beach_ll
+1 not worth arguing, the uk are a completely brainwashed population. Manager in CorpStrat
+1 If women = men then they should do as much work as men do. As simple as that.  Prospect in S&T - Other
+1 This is visible across the board and if you call this out then both your bosses and female juniors will frame you a misogynist.  Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Consider the Tank, and Santos Dumont. I'd get more of a Go Anywhere, Do Anything watch first though. Something like a Omega Aqua Terra, etc Principal in S&T - Comm
+1 Great post man. I was adamant at 25 that I would get married early 30s or later but here I am in my late 20s married to an amazing woman. I wouldn't change it for the world. hedgehog9
+1 I saw those opportunities, but I applied to the "various group" position about a month and a half ago. ibd_qwerty
+1 Disagree on Amsterdam.  Redlight district yes but the remainder of the city is beautiful, friendly locals, decent history, solid food, easy to just wander aimlessly and have a good time.  bigbob123
+1 Just work anywhere and take a few Mondays off to ski the weekend. I actually flew to SLC on a Friday night and was back by Monday morning last April. johnny-mnemonic
+1 Probably Oxford. Larger endowment and more Prime Ministers Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 This is hilarious to read as someone who works at BCG London. I would say the type is definitely not fratty, mostly a little nerdy but generally pretty good social skills. Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 Maybe a dumb question, but would an offer in a RX consulting firm's IB arm that you mentioned, or their actual RX consulting group be better for exits into RX IB or PE? Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 Hey thanks for the response - from what I’ve heard I think people have been invited/have done first round. I think second round will start soon - but this is me hearing from others not first hand :) wahala251
+1 Not sure I have a great example, but probably best answer is just generally "start-ups". Most gregarious culture I can think of is WeWork when it was young. Highly recommend WeCrashed on Apple TV QE_Infinity
+1 This idea has potential, but there are a few key points to consider: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Weird that all applications (strategic advisory for NY & SF) are all shown "Application Declined" on Workday. Go to Y/P. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 I think Rothschild infra SnappleApple
+1 it's preference and logical sense... don't select a location if you'll be miserable there but also don't forgo an amazing opportunity in another city just to be in NYC...  Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 GS IND IB - Analyst 1
+1 "LOL" - 20% gross IRR will directionally lose ~300bps to carry and ~200bps to management fees, so it's very easy to bridge to aformentioned returns for internal IPs who can sidestep GP expense Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 This is nonsensical. Why exactly do you need to live in Manhattan when you have 10ml? hedgehog9
+1 What type of slopes you talking about? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Services is the largest vertical and the most active. Others include the classic industrials ones and are quite balanced  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 toyota@1231At risk of sounding naïve, what does 2/2 mean? Works at Citigroup
+1 Your flashlight is on fyi speedball
+1 my firm (T1 LO) made a few lateral hires late last year that came entirely through referrals, as is the case with a couple offers likely to go out within the next couple months. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 If you enjoy banking and can see yourself doing the job longer term (i.e., as a senior where the role becomes more sales oriented v. pure execution), you should stay. PE is a tough path right now for reasons you outlined. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 J.P. Morgan has half of its industrials team in Chicago, which is its largest group there. This includes the full suite of bankers, all the way from interns to MD. It's not a lean office at all in that group. IowaCornBoy
+1 ICONIQ is more venture than growth or crossover sourcesanduses
+1 just got the Spd invite for barclays - I didnt have a r1, maybe cuz my School has a dedicated team/captains vouched wallstreethardo1232
+1 Not as many at GS/MS. More to EBs like Moelis sourcesanduses
+1 Why HSG followed by mannheim and CBS? Isn't Tilburg Bsc or UvA Bsc better for high Finance - I mean rankings are better than EBS - especially international.  eliask1
+1 Gets like that fr - but everyone will be fine in life eod  wahala251
+1 Yeah, here's some sage advice: don't do it.  Works at DivcoWest Real Estate Investments
+1 How does this speculation even begin? It cant just be a random dude saying trust me bro - and if it was an email it would already have been leaked. Curious where the source of the rumours are from Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yeah but you can’t apply for Green Card while being on TN visa. TN visa underlying intention is you won’t stay permanently in US. Director in IB - Cov
+1 LAZ has their RX team in Chicago  wuandale33
+1 Very insightful…… VP in IB-M&A
+1 This resonates as someone who took multiple sabbaticals in my mid twenties knowing that this somewhat conventional path likely will await in my 30s. TBDPEJabroni
+1 LevFin, Industrials, TMT and REGLL - the rest are atrocious Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 CapTableTriageplaying with fire. lacking integrity.  bruce22
+1 evercore rescinding offers is essentially official, whether they are being relocated is still speculation, they are all currently in talks to work anything out Bay Street Butcher
+1 What's that? Is that those quarterly videos we have to watch on mute in the background while listening to our VP bitch about paragraph spacing? Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 I mean this with all due respect, but please for the love of God get off this site for at least two years.  Substack_Guy
+1 Because RX is the best group at all banks - I love RX btw asymmetricalrisk

+1 Don’t know about Houston but Toronto team seems to have strong deal flow and transact on a lot of renewables deals. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 how reliably do u know this is what happened? exitgods
+1 Are they still giving out superdays? lkfdshfkhask
+1 Thanks for the info. I'm assuming that with lower M&A, TC is fairly low across the board? RM2817
+1 can’t really say but trust me lol. this is evr specific though, not industry wide as of yet Bay Street Butcher
