+1 Congrats on discovering chatGPT. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I got a solid mid tier bb offer in jan 26 for sa26. I even saw someone else get an offer at another mid tier bb in March for sa26. You have to stalk linkedin everyday in the fall like the guy above said. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Suit and tie 5 days a week baby  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 I closed 0 platform deals during my MF associate years (late 2021 - 2024) and '23/'24 were dead years when it came to deal making and everyone understood.  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 There's a reason for the Glassdoor reviews, they are legit. Most don't last more than 2 years there even in senior positions. First 6-10 months you get a "pass" but after that be prepared for it to go downhill. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 No related to gender, but curious how did you go about expanding your coverage? Analyst 2 in HF - Event
+1 I know a MCC victim when I see one (I am too) Analyst 2 in HF - Event
+1 WF is paradise Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I was catching up with one of the more senior folks at Butterfly last year and my impression was that their fund size would be larger than fund II (although not materially) so I'm surprised if its lower than fund II. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 I am sure most ODCE funds are, but their leadership page and most who I spoke with looks like it is quite the opposite. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 It’s such slop bro. You can tell he wrote it too because it’s just all over the pace. I feel like he jus spoke into recorder and had it printed out from that RE_Private_Egg_Witty
+1 Had heard about the Taft Hartley backing. Feels most Funds have had difficult raising money as of recent, especially the past couple years due to the denominator effect. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 Agree. Will note that they also promote to senior associate and VP for top performers. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+1 Running a region in a growing fund.  Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+1 This has always interested me. It doesn’t appear to hurt deal flow to the extent you would think  m_1
+1 I think UBS WM is generally fine, despite lots of redundancies and bloat post CS. There is plenty of competitive pressure and advisor attrition, and overall the wirehouse model is going to see fee compression.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Plenty of banks with 1-2 days WFH, I don’t know why 5 days in office is necessary. My read is it’s more of a “natural attrition” driver, or maybe is a factor in actual layoffs down the road.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I think Chattanooga is paradise  Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+1 WF bonus got gutted from 1.5x to .5x, now we have to contend with the fact that we only in line with street. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 You just need to change job. Leaving these stupid hours was the best decision I made. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Gotcha. I don't know much about them, but restructuring is a small world. I'd do it and then maybe look to swim upstream in a year to 18 months if you like the work but want to do more debtor-side work, etc. Lester Freamon
+1 I’m an IU sophomore who recently went through recruiting and landed a solid offer in NYC. I’m happy to pm you about any advice. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 would say the below - all of those groups are mid but far from the worst at UBS GIG - mid deal experience, mid exits, mid culture, sweatier hours  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Not sure about their processes, but this is THE chillest team at Evercore. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. Source: I sit on the same open floor as them lol Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 You’ll most likely be responsible for admin stuff, saving things down, cleaning up data in Excel, a couple of easy slides here and there. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+1 I would rather be at WF if in the US Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 It's group dependent. If you are lucky and get into a group with a good culture, you will have a great time, go out with the team, happy hour, etc. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Would take IB offer. Provides the most optionality going forward which is important unless you are 1000% sure you want to do RE. And even then IB on your resume will open doors you wouldn't be able to otherwise.  Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 I'm pretty sure this says less about whether a verticalized solution is the right answer and more about hebbia and rogo being BAD vertical solutions.... techys
+1 congrats on BU!!!!!!! Intern in IB - Cov
+1 (all targets and semis in one list btw): wharton, harvard, yale, unc, iu, cornell, upenn, idk if middleburry is a low semi but ive seen kids place from there, stern, umich, georgetown, uva (idk), duke, uchicago, northweste Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I think poor reputation in this industry means lying about compensation/ recruiting, deception in negotiation / discussions, and maybe a distant third includes dysfunctional incentives. James' Bond
+1 removed VP in PE - Growth
+1 Impossible to say really, depends a lot on your career aspirations, how you feel about risk vs. stability in your career, how you feel about wlb. IG PC isn't even something I've heard of before. VP in PE - Other
+1 We are just a few years away from what will be some of the best software PE deals ever jl12
+1 But IB, ER, and AM are completely different jobs, no? Aren’t there any alternatives that are closer to S&T, at least in terms of the type of candidate they tend to attract? Prospect in S&T - Other
+1 its a bs/unserious joke of an internship Intern in IB - Restr
+1 Do you have a view on whether the idea that S&T is dying is overblown? Prospect in S&T - Other
+1 Is this for a full underwriting model, pre-IOI simple model, interview model, etc.? I usually do something like:(furthest left tab) gimly
+1 What about HC?  InvestmentBankingAnalyst1
+1 Gen Z finance bros discover collective action  CRE

+1 HY/Distressed/IG trading on sellside with good P&L is a common route. VP in PE - Other
+1 VP in IB-M&A
+1 would guess it’s nepo and they basically show up and put it on their resume… dan is so sharp though that general rule of osmosis would say it would be hard not to take away a lot though Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Just want to point out that PE has definitely bought point solutions; not every pe portco is a vertical ERP kuf135
+1 Current Kelley student who was in your position a few years ago here, a lot of these responses are not that helpful or even straight up misinformation. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 what about for commodities?  hashbwalk
+1 Currently at a MM. I have had headhunters on behalf of multiple BB and MM reach out to me over the past year. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I mean, they won’t get a sanity check from you forever. Having to vet every single email seems like a but much. Do you think the analyst will never develop? Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 You won’t find a clear “#1” recruiter for PE in HK/SG, especially at the Senior Associate / AVP level. It’s pretty relationship-driven and fragmented. A few names that consistently come up: lilyroberts
+1 I went to IU and was in the IBW - DM me if I can be of any help.  datboi1234
+1 somehow in line with Thoma Bravo's view their thesis is that some firms are at risk, but not all of them, so it's a buying opportunity because the market is penalizing all the sector equally GS under Blankfein
+1 Networked my way in, actually. But that was because I came from a very non-target and had no prior experience in banking. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 PERE at a smaller startup full timelow pay BuySideIntern
+1 Why are you trying to make this move? Might be tough  Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen

+1 + Citi, BofA, RBC, DB, WF, A&M, HL, BNP, Mizuho  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Hey man, if you are graduating this year I would focus on breaking into anything adjacent to the field. It is extremely hard to get into banking or PE rn without some sort of related experience. CallmeTony
+1 Summit is one of the top GE funds, very much a name a lot of people would turn down many 10bn+ fund size funds for. In terms of potential to get to 10bn+, 90%+. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 No reason for Hg to wind down. As long as you deliver alpha relative to your peers, you will be fine in all of investing. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Only Harvard/Oxford do. Donkey from Shrek
+1 How much has O&G PE shrunk since the early 2010's? I don't have the stats, but look at the shadows (or carcasses) of sector focused GPs that were leftover from that period kuf135
+1 This is very useful. Thanks! Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 What are your views on credit / event driven desk in SG Research Analyst in HF - Event
+1 you should have no problem. the pod grad program are in new york but after the program itself can place onto pods in a variety of locations. Intern in HF - EquityHedge

+1 Prospect in IB - GenWhat are the best UMM names in healthcare?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Opportunities with only English as a requirement do exist, but as per the above commenter are few, and you will still be competing against people who speak multiple languages. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Currently doing this exact thing. It's possible but painful. You need: Singapore employment pass, Malaysian residency visa (MM2H or work permit), and a company willing to deal with cross-border tax mess. Jody.Harmon1
+1 Brand name tax, more overhead, different profit/ownership models. Gold-ManSacks
+1 I agree with all of these as someone with 4 years in this industry. That said, banking is still one of the better ways to start a lucrative career path if you’re willing to tolerate the shit for a year or two. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 "It will be extremely difficult for the young kids to do long complex math without a calculator" This sentiment just repeats with every piece of new tech. VP in IB-M&A
+1 Global inflation. The petrodollar can not be supplanted. Not by the Chinese, not by the Russians, not by the BRICS. This is what the war is about in my opinion. pjm.priv

+1 I started drinking and playing Rust akpsiontop
+1 Significantly less overhead, smaller teams, some focus purely on m&a. Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+1 Was also told “they love to go on ski trips” Intern in IB - Gen
+1 HEC evcfluminense
+1 Yes, I understand what you mean. It may be rather shocking to go from a laid-back collegiate schedule to banking hours. According to what I've heard, most individuals simply try to make up lost sleep on the weekends. dollyartasia
+1 Appreciate this! I actually think their Financial Institutions Group (FIG) may have an even better lifestyle! flipcup
+1 If I were you I’d rather work at Shea & Co. and make 220k all in than work at one of the MM churn shops (HL, etc.) and make 160k all in for 100+ hours a week on avg mrchicken
