+1	Would you guys say it's normal for LO to have bonus exceeding 100% of base?	Investment Analyst in AM - Equities

+1	Thoughts on PFG?	IB2004
+1	Super chill group but deal experience is bad and exits are mid. If you want to chill for 2 years in a not too sweaty group and exit to IR it’s not a bad gig. Also quite small group.	Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1	Stop complicating it.	Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1	Of course take it! Front office of course improves your trajectory, and lateralling from middle to front office at Apollo or whatever is likely not happening	Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1	I haven’t really spent much time there tbh… nothing unique to add. Longer contracts = good but can see that actually making bid-ask spread problem worse… buyers are scared rn.	VP in PE - LBOs
+1	I recommend Miami Ohio, since the Midwest-Chicago connection is stronger. Penn State has a much stronger alumni base on the east coast compared to Chicago.	VP in IB - Cov
+1	Del	bakeoffking
+1	Usually selling stocks you already held isn’t that big of a deal as long as you pre-clear. I had the same issue, had PLTR at a cost basis of ~$10 and had no issue selling after I pre cleared it	VP in IB-M&A
+1	Well that's the thing buddy, if your in the top 25% at any of these schools, you will place similarly if you make the best use of the plethora of resources you have, there is no opportunity that either will hold you back f	Prospect in HF - Other
+1	mayoineko	VP in PE - Other
+1	Missing Desjardins Capital Markets	Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1	I’ve interviewed with them two or three separate times for the acquisitions role over the last 3 or so years, on separate tracks with different recruiters months apart from each other.	CREbruhh
+1	Do it fool	girlwithstonks
+1	Found something that I was more excited about in a completely different industry and role. That said, I felt that the experience I got at the firm set me up well for this next thing.	Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1	Depends what you want. The Pros of each are as follows:	bruvmoment
+1	It feels like the entire management chain in large firms (and not just finance) is more concerned with keeping their own jobs than moving the needle at all.	cp5670
+1	Iykyk. Miami OH has some smoke shows for the Midwest and 8 of the F500 CEOs graduated from Miami OH. Underrated option for college in the Midwest	Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1	USC on top	Prospect in IB-M&A
+1	Berkeley	rooseveltfan
+1	Go to Ross, but yeah if you get off either waitlist go there	rooseveltfan
+1	I think it's hilarious that the clowns who follow this stuff will order untested peptides from a random factory in China/India and inject themselves in the ass because they believe it makes them look hotter.	PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1	Can say on good authority he makes 9 figures a year	Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1	probably strongest db group rn from deal flow perspective specifically in fintech and insurance. sweaty tho. Used to have great culture but is still ok	Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1	Ignore my title and am much senior. You are not their first choice but they expect turnover and are dragging you along. Best way is to get another offer and let them know.	Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1	Nah not yet	XWX Random
+1	I mean, I wouldn't object if someone chose to define ARR with a longer lens instead of as MRR * 12.	Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1	Small team (2 MDs i believe)	Intern in IB - Gen
+1	I think so too. 5-10 rounds of conversations and interviews is almost too much.	Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1	I don’t work at palatine but a similar firm. It honestly sounds like you could be describing my company. This type of culture is so toxic.	Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1	Lateral process from start to end shouldn’t last more than 1-2 weeks if they are serious about hiring you. One round with AS/VP, and final round with D/MD.	Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1	DarthBanker2016:	rf949
+1	I just hope everyone realizes that when a brand new WSO account has only one comment and it’s doing damage control on a thread like this… you need to run for the hills.	Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1	i would like to know the job so i can move to said fuck ass city, and leave the people’s republic of NYC	Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1	This is really motivating and helpful in principle Main constraint atm is just being burned out in banking and the hours of the job	swe2ibd
+1	Totally agree. That’s why I posted lol. Feel as though I should start to do something since this is going on for way too long.	Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1	US was my intent, but would be interested in hearing abt both	dallasnative5887
+1	MongulGeekIncoming Analyst in IB - CovWhat the fuck is this thread	EzgardQueen
+1	Associate 2 in PE - LBOsalways glad to see quality content making it onto these boards	Emillo
+1	My bank calls its security department the Joint Operations Center (JOC)	dolph
+1	Just received AC	jennyd_ng
+1	I think you should only do an internship at a firm where you’d ideally want to work full time.	Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1	All choices are good. Depends where you want to work and live afterwards...	boib_1
+1	Can only be seen as insecurity or weakness.	Eman_Kant
+1	U got the jist, always deny deny deny	Eman_Kant
+1	If it exists within platforms, it will be PMs with a long tenure that have proven ability to make money with more directional trades, but agree it is more difficult to see very macro traders within pods for several reasons	Moonph@se
+1	Not even MDMA would make UBS fun	Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1	Emphasis on the global banks is overstated. Lots of really strong Canadian bank groups with strong deal flow	Intern in IB - Gen
+1	Wondering the same thing. And then didn't get a T1 offer??? Not doubting but plz explain.	rolo25
+1	So IB CM is not as horrible as this forum makes it out to be? I was pretty excited about my summer analyst position in DB coming from a non-target and this forum makes me feel like I got the bottom of the barrel!	IB CM New Analyst
+1	This type of shit has been happening for years. John Mack was shouting “There’s blood in the water. Let’s go kill!” in the 80's.	CRE
+1	moneymaker03The way the mods work on the off section doesn't really make much sense.	CRE
+1	Came here to like this post because I do think it is ridiculously luck-based. The difference between landing nowhere and landing an OK offer is small.	star32trick
+1	im incoming A1 in a software group, should i look to pivot to hardware?	Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1	If you still have the chance to go to a US semitarget (or even transfer to one after first year), please do so… speaking from experience.	Intern in IB-M&A
+1	Ok intern. Good luck lol. Come back to this in a few months. I work here unlike you	Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1	roths >> ubs, they do some international mining coverage and bespoke rx/specialty mining stuff out of TO.	Intern in PE - LBOs
+1	Equals, HEC appears a bit more selective now, LBS still draws great students and is trying to stop increasing their bloody class size so not much of a debate.	goriecs
+1	Be careful on politics. I would if you can but tricky. Just learn as much as you can and get out or go to b-school.	VP in PE - LBOs
+1	James' BondAssociate 3 in PE - LBOs	throwingawaytime
+1	Fenchurch is one of the top, continuum is decent in the MM - besides that all the big usual names	Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1	Everyone is different. Try to get as much information as you can while trying to figure out what's the best career move for yourself.	NewIndustryHorizon
+1	Not a disservice at all.. Look up at/flgsif on instagram and you can see the placements for class of 2028. Pretty impressive for a “non target”	Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1	Hags28:	Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1	I think you are overstating luck here, but it is still the key driver of whether one strikes out vs. getting an offer.	Prospect in IB - Gen
+1	Network, network, network. You'd be amazed at some of the GPA's that get offers.	Tiakola_1
+1	Try to get it up to 3.6 you're so close - also be strategic about what courses you're taking (needs to be relevant but also don't necessarily need to do the hardest ones).	BoutiqueAsc
+1	Hags28Ass to anal Poetry	CRE
+1	I personally wouldn't. I feel like distressed PE now, in terms of profitability, is much more cyclical, competitive, and timing-dependent than it used to be.	Associate 1 in Consulting
+1	Feel you. FT sucks this year haven't been able to land anything lol	Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1	If you see any thread about Escp bachelor you'll see the same guy (boib_1) yelling cash cow and shamelessly promoting his own school rsm in the same breath.	Intern in HF - Other
+1	What I've seen in those types of deals is a GP that knows the promote is long gone, wants to sell and move on but the LP wants to hang on and gamble on a better climate in 27.	bigbob123
+1	It's fucking exhausting. I've interviewed for some larger banks and you get dinged because you didn't get the return and they think you were a shit intern even when that wasn't the case.	Intern in IB - Cov
+1	Bro got his gf stolen by someone in S&T	JaredVennettsQuant
+1	Just going to leave this here:	Hags28
+1	Keep your network warm for fall drops, other than that nothing much	Prospect in IB-M&A
+1	Think it's probably hard to generalize, but if it is an immediate start would assume they'd have a preference for wrapping up a hiring process sooner rather than later.	Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1	10/10 post. Good perspective. +SB	Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1	I investd in search backed deal and he has a good point, assuming this is the type of entrepreneurship youre interested in (vs lets say VC backed entrepreneurship).	subsdsa
+1	Got it, in your case (for PE and HF interviews), have they typically gotten back to you ASAP or normal for it to stall for 2+ weeks	notmadepublic
+1	Oh ok, I understand. Thanks for the response	Prospect in IB-M&A
+1	Taxes are probably much lower in the LCOL state. Don’t forget, the incremental 13% or whatever is really like 25% when evaluated on the take home. Keeping 65% of your salary is 30% more than keeping 50%.	local_finance_bro
+1	Typically things move quicker than 2+ weeks if they like you / you're getting prioritized.	Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1	Not great signs I guess, thanks for the input - I guess not even worth shooting a note to the interviewer or HR?	notmadepublic
+1	Georgetown recruiting is fine if you join a finance club. One thing to look at with SFS is the BGA cross-program with the MSB. Cornell is a miserable school.	Prospect in IB - Cov
+1	Late to responding here - I recruited out of PE 3 months back after spending large portion of my career there.	ALLCATS
+1	This is great advice. I had a period of prioritizing exercise over sleep and didn't work out well for me	Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1	Cope The one field where there's no gender quota driven hiring ends up with all men ----> random woman: "its because the men's egos make them biased against women!"	Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1	It’s illegal for a landlord to make tenants pay their broker fees. Tenants can hire their own broker and pay a fee if they want… kinda unnecessary though, would just use StreetEasy	Generic Banker
+1	I think I’ve answered most outstanding questions. I’ll also write about outside in, how to identify funds that are more likely to be sexist, and people who are more likely to be sexist	James' Bond
+1	Analyst 1 in IB - GenCope	James' Bond
+1	"Load up the guns" = Buy as much as possible "Take no prisoners"= Aggressive negotiation stance "We're going to war"= Hostile takeover proceeding	Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1	i guess so buddy	Eman_Kant
+1	Not reading all that, but basically all are great options. The difference between recruiting results from each is marginal. Just pick the school you like the most.	Prospect in IB - Cov
+1	OMG it was just a jooooke no cap just calm yoself sista Maybe something more than "this" would be even more value-add?	throwingawaytime
+1	meatrocket: At Cantor your boss is Sage Kelly. Let that influence your decision. Watch your mouth	KageSelly
+1	I worked at a BB so I'm biased, but as others said I would not turn down IB for the other opp described. Getting a full time IB offer means you can lateral for other banks with some experience or jump to RE.	fdfdfdfd
+1	Also will write a post on different sector coverages and those that are less averse to women	James' Bond
+1	Don't know Livcor well but have worked with various in house capital markets teams including the BX style setup (from the originations perspective). I have the impression that those operator based teams crank.	fdfdfdfd
