+1 Stop commenting on my posts. You are less than half as smart as you think you are… laughable response and not worth engaging. You write like GPT-2. Really bad thinker… VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Hey, currently in process with a couple PC funds and am also looking into some of the workout groups. In Industrials M&A, though. Just can’t keep doing the 90-110 hour weeks. rolo25
+1 well if you’re in one of the grad programs it could be as soon as the program itself is done. Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Yup. When I lateraled, my processes ran the gamut from "instant superday" after a coffee chat to "17 rounds across three months" (and then being ghosted). flipcup
+1 lets go band for band after you fetch my coffee and detail my S-Class, in that order mgw19

+1 financialrepublicwhy dont you exit into something on the buyside that is much more chill like secondaries or private credit   VP in IB - Cov
+1 Industrials = insane sweatshop. C&R = lifestyle group but have seen them on a handful of deals $25-100M EBITDA deals in recent months so hours are probably up. Small let team. Seem like nice people. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Very well put Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I hear this. Thanks for sharing. Could be summed up by just the revenue per MD / revenue per head number. If the MMs have higher rev per MD and the BBs, they can afford to pay junior bankers more. 🤝 Hags28

+1 venture is a ridiculously small market. firms like adams street and harbourvest are some of the only ways in the world to get access to top tier venture gp’s, although there’s a double fee. Intern in PE - Other

+1 Have seen very negative things on this platform but never used myself so curious to hear other thoughts. They seem to have some good fundraising momentum/ new clients wins. cremefraiche
+1 I would recommend doing something off line about this. It’s possible none of your in person colleagues have noticed your health issues. Hags28
+1 I did a gap year (more like 3 gap years lol). Was a ton of fun but professionally like a quasi disaster that I am still trying to fix Hags28
+1 Given what I know about EVR and maybe putting on my EVR shareholder / management hat, being extremely busy better / probably means they are about to announce a $30bn (at least) M&A deal and like $100mm of fees on Monda Hags28
+1 Yes I worked with them. They paid a little but then said more money was coming but have yet to pay. I think they may still owe me something like $100. I have been pencils down for months now until they pay me. Hags28
+1 Where are you working that are you sleeping 2-3 hours a week? That is horrendous LosingMyHair
+1 Leave Woman and focus on your career in London. Guys are running away from European Satellites to London and then you’re chasing skirt to those offices. davani1420

+1 Congrats on Stifel buddy Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Absolute word salad. MMPM

+1 Don't think you can bucket IFM as Mid-cap. While they target Core returns, they invest out of their USD 55- 70Bn funds. pointyfishook
+1 As a random side note I need 1-2 search fund interns if there’s anyone looking for a light internship 2-3 months before summer. apetrynamakeit

+1 Congrats on UBS! Prospect in IB - Cov

+1 No ones gonna know the difference mate nutmegger189
+1 With regards to the cycling question - I cycle between East London (Spitalfields) and my office in Mayfair (off Regent Street) every day. Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 I feel like speaking with MD or even associate or HR about it will lead to a layoff, cause they'll just "counsel you out" cause they'll think you're not cut out for IB due to your health, and they don't want to risk having Kevin25
+1 Ok tell us the story.  Whose wife did you sleep with? Soros_
+1 The only thing I have to add is what is the blended maturity of your current loans and what would be the maturity of the ~4.5% loan? jl12

+1 "I figure I aim for the moon, land on the stars" OG Killer 67
