Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Has the consolidation of the HVAC or dental industries driven down consumer prices at all? How have these benefited anyone but us? Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 I’ve been in a similar boat, just do the best you can and give it a couple more weeks before you make any decisions. A80A90
+1 IND, LevFin and TMT are the strongest teams. Fig has been getting good momentum and has better culture. Recently also started M&A exec group Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 nontargetmarket
+1 as my mom would say, if you walk in a store and something catches your eye, you either get that or nothing at all. MnIGuy
+1 If you're mainly interested in Sports media, I would recommend Raine. All the people there love sports, and they're one of the main leaders whenever its time to do a media deal DonDylan
+1 Oh I meant mostly in terms of culture I guess. But to what you're saying - the regulation comes with adoption. Startups these days are super hit or miss. Raijin
+1 maybe a pessimist but this reads like median PM  Or at least its most PMs behavior some % of days... the good ones its closer to 10% than 100% qnt12345
+1 i saved $230k (GBP 170) but i blow money left and right. 4.5 years of banking. i was also working in NY for half that where pay is higher tho IB_assoc2
+1 Well done. The £150k outperformance is incidentally exactly the tax saving / benefit. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 ah nice, so similar playing field here, even more so at the VP level this pertains. MnIGuy
+1 Search fund is paradise Fred@EB
+1 As an A3, 225 base and 200 bonus seems pretty standard.  lignin.objects02
+1 Any speculation on what this guy looks like? Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Depends if you're trying to be 2 and out or a career banker but Moelis will defo pay you more and give you more complete experience. creditking
+1 Was wondering the same Intern in IB-M&A
+1 To push back against some uninformed comments regarding Bristol falling off, in fact, they are doing particularly strongly for a solid semi target, for example, just below Imperial/LSE/Oxford/Cambridge and matching Warwick Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Superday results? Goldmansachspls
+1 Did anyone invited to the Capital Solution Group call take any notes that they could potentially share with me? Was trying to understand what the different teams within the group actually entail - i.e. Goldmansachspls
+1 Has anyone interviewed with Sunstone Partners lately? Username0908
+1 Who cares what I or the other person looks like. I just want an EU citizenship and there's gotta be someone out there with that who wants a US citizenship.  Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 Assuming you got the call for Spd. Good luck. kd2006
+1 Would you be open to a 25 year old indian guy? I have EU citizenship, but I want to consummate marriage it is important to me Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Would definitely do GS or MS M&A here, look at exits across the board and particularly at top shops, overwhelmingly they’re from those two. Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 What are you solving for beyond being burned out? Work product quality, friendlier colleagues, fewer hours, more predictable hours, more flexibility, more ability to take vacations? How much does comp matter to you? Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Missing some pussy, get laid brotha Intern in IB - Cov
+1 The answer is No. you're fine pandemonium99

+1 Never ceases to amaze me how private equity provides you with the best business training possible yet few people think about starting/buying a business. Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 I'd take the higher base personally unless the sale of the business is happening in the next 12-18 months and you are confident the sponsor can make 3x equity (although newsflash as you know, more often than not returns ar VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Bump Intern in IB - Gen
+1 bump Jobless Monkey
+1 What part of public finance interests you? It's a shrinking/low fee industry and the modeling is less transferable to all the traditional exits. TrySomeMalort
+1 Basically, lump sum equity up front, 39 month payback period, 21 month profit period with sale in month 60. So distributions to equity in month 40 go from 100% to 50% for the next 21 months. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 You should be focusing on:1. Having a view (current macro economic regime, geopolitics, rates higher for longer? why? next big trade? why?)2. Composure and confidence during conversation FoxMulder
+1 The DEI copium here is amazing. Just wait until there is a SCOTUS case codifying it's illegality, it's coming whether you like it or not. hedgehog9
+1 Thank you for taking the time to put these thoughts on paper montauk scumbag
+1 Not as much of a slam dunk by any means. Doesn't carry the same branding, comp diff is wider, and so many of these JAMMBOs are basically dead man walking at this point + doing DD to determine who that describes is harder. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 I'm undecided ohyeahfinnancé
+1 Who gives af about returns if the culture is shit? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Audax, One Rock, Lindsay Goldberg  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Most people exit to an agency debt broker after a few years given that is where you gain reps at Freddie Mac Multifamily. OG Killer 67
+1 EU citizenship is going to be essentially necessary IMO. Speaking as someone who has been on both sides of recruitment, most banks don’t have appetite to sponsor visas. Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+1 You've got a long career. Make sure you understand the reason they are dragging their feet on promotion and if there are any performance or growth gaps work on fixing or improving on those. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Reps and experience matter more than optics especially in the MM/LMM. You also don't have to finish the associate program at your next job - you can recruit for senior associate roles mid-stint or towards the end. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Thanks for sharing this. I have Portuguese citizenship, so I believe I shouldn’t have any issues. You mentioned you’ve been on both sides, could you share your perspective on the language aspect? Bruce Grayson

+1 GS / CVP >>>> Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Why dont you email HR lmao Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 It was for 2026 off cycle. Same. No idea how they filled someone else so fast either, guessing it was someone they already knew. Super rude as this impacted my other scheduled chats which I had to move around for this. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Firm pays for virtually everything when on an engagement (food, tickets, hotels, transport, gas, dry cleaning, etc). Consultant in Consulting
+1 Bump, bankers aren’t replying to my emails anymore lol. Trying to target UMM still wso warrior

+1 MMs are ALWAYS hiring/firing, and there is no reason for the rate of hiring to accelerate or slow down materially from one year to the next.  MMPM
+1 They pay 260 base for VP1 and 285 for VP2 and VP3 Stuff like this makes it obvious how many people are just straight making up numbers.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 are they still giving out sd for nyc coverage? lkfdshfkhask
+1 Bump Prospect in Non-profit
+1 Implicitly they do have to care what happens after 3-5 years. Part of being a good PE investor is to think about the next buyer and how the company needs to be positioned to get maximum value at exit. deals1228
+1 Same here man, top target high GPA, 2 pe internships, will be interning at a 10B pe fund this summer, got refferals from partners/md/ed, 0 interviews, but im international jsjajsj
+1 Might add that i did GS ELS (Im a white dude) still didnt receive super day jsjajsj
+1 So, I just re-read this post, and it doesn't really make any sense. If it's not an AI post I look forward to hearing more about your story. StreetToStreets
+1 Any Charlotte numbers? KingofMonkeys
+1 American century is well known. If you are earlier career, I'd be mostly concerned with experience over pay. StreetToStreets
+1 You wrote a long post but didn't address why you think the reasons why people hate PE are not justified. Kevin25
+1 Analyst 1 in S&T - EquitiesWow was it a particularly good year or is this normal?Can I ask what desk? Executive Director in S&T - Equities
+1 Don’t think I’d survive four consecutive years of 80+ hour weeks (2 years IB and 2 years PE). Also, even if I don’t land MF PE I’m okay with that (though I’ll still be gunning for MF PE from MBB of course). DeletedAccount...
+1 I just got an interview invite at a firm I really like, so there is that, but then like converting an offer is so hard Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Is that Citi Houston? Was also in the process. Also class of 2027, at Yale/Princeton, not yet secured 26 SA though. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 That's a really interesting data point... that would point to a fundamentally skewed risk-reward for PE as a career path, right? srzjmy
+1 I’m in an English speaking office/country so can’t speak to that too much unfortunately. Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+1 Would stay away from most MM firms in Boston Associate 2 in IB-M&A

+1 Del Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Can confirm. At another bank and heard Citi Software is punching up and picking up share for large-cap deals. Did hear that hours are absolutely atrocious though Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 It would have become a bit like Barclays. Good in EMEA LevFin, has good markets desks in EMEA, perpetually trying to break into the US but never succeeding packet
+1 Main programs are WP, Charlesbank, Audax, Lindsay Goldberg, Bain, and Parthenon and they all seem to focus on the top schools if you look at backgrounds of their analysts. sourcesanduses
+1 saying what part of london you work in will help a lot pal anonf0fty
+1 You will never find short-term accommodation via the typical lettings route - in the UK the lettings are usually long-term (1Y+). You need to check with your hiring bank if they can help you find accommodation. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+1 Great post SA_CorpBanking334
+1 Based in London but at my MBB you're graded on Education, Work Experience and Extra Curriculars. Associate Consultant in Consulting
+1 I don’t know much about Audax other than performance seems strong, but One Rock and LG both raised upsized funds in one of the toughest fundraising environments in recent history. Good fact pattern for juniors to grow. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Hi!  med2ib
+1 Keep pushing dude something will drop eventually. Some  European balance sheet banks will have roles in markets or S&T open up and that will put you in a decent position ahead of FT. youngbuffet
+1 Damn international applicants catching strays. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 That’s huge man good for you  youngbuffet
+1 Any way to preemptively provide positive references from that job? I do have a couple senior people who have been good references for me. Think it just depends on who they ask.  VP in PE - LBOs
+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 it’s rude more than unprofessional. and 99% of bankers don’t know what tf calendly is. this isn’t bay area jo_x11
+1 Does LevFin has a group placement ? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Banks:EVR, PJT Park Hill, Moelis, Jeff Dallas, Lazard Boutiques:Campbell, Rede Buyside:Adrian, Lexington, Apollo S3, Carlyle Alpinvest, CVC, Coller, HarbourVest, Pantheon Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 That's actually wild I also had mine on Tuesday with healthcare and the only tech I got was how do the three statements link. Which group did you place into because 80% techs is insanely unlucky? badburi09
+1 I did LMM PC and recruited FT to RX IB. From a non-target, but I got plenty of interviews and landed at a great firm. big_dawg
+1 Congrats and thanks for the advice! Need to mention that I'm international so most places wouldn't even consider me. So I am broadening options to tech (products/operations/sde) etc. Prospect in IB - Cov
