Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 I familiar with them ghosting once eliminated but given the stage of the process, them asking for feedback from me and the interviewer saying “well definitely be following up with feedback” I feel like some level of commun Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 . econsmith
+1 bump Dodo_Lab
+1 bump Jobless Monkey
+1 Would tend to agree with the above, with the caveat that from consulting, it all depends on how you market yourself. Do it right and you could do pretty much anything. Partner in Legal
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s how you can leverage your current role and position yourself for better exit opportunities in finance: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 It’s a regional target with ability to get to Wall Street. They have alum everywhere, even their MBA and MSF seemingly have alumni across major firms. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 lol no VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Impossible for us to say. Best is to try to call them back Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 M&A culture is good, ideally better than some coverage groups because they have so many analysts. something like 30 first-years in M&A. They exit well and spend a lot of time prepping for recruiting Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Your problem is thinking that just because someone is working at a better firm or went to a better school they will be more successful than you, when these things are not a given. Research Associate in AM - FI
+1 It’s the Best Buy that makes the difference in the later interview rounds acardboardmonkey
+1 Linden is at $5.4bn fund size, it's larger than funds like Lindsay Goldberg or AEA or Providence, etc. Linden is moreso an expected going on-cycle name. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 What platform did you use to check for these random openings? Did they show up on Trackr or Adventis? CuriousGeorge1024
+1 Bump whoooo
+1 gravy seals is elite humor +1 Wish_I_HadTrustFund
+1 Large cap biotech? Do you mean…pharma? Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+1 Totally - was more leaning towards thinking about negotiating for an extra ~$10-25k if the comp is lower than expected. The “setting a precedent” part is definitely the big factor here. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I don't think it'll matter as long as you're having a degree in the US and going the OPT route. If you only went to Canadian schools as a Canadian then it might be a bit tricky I guess randomfreshmanguyuva
+1 target is a stretch when it's a daycare for dallas kids who couldn't even crack into a t50 Intern in IB - Cov
+1 We put a LinkedIn opening with hundreds of applications and 99%+ of the applications were straight garbage. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Yeah that’s what I heard but similar situation with OP. A lot of ppl i know haven’t heard back yet for the second Zoom (including myself). Do they ding a lot of people from the first Zoom? whoooo
+1 Interned with a shipping company pretty recently. I think it definitely helped me get to where I am now.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Thanks for the advice! med2ib
+1 Farallon takes dei interns sometimes. Weird place to work now anyway. Some funds occasionally take interns. But a Berkeley kid screams nepo baby  Principal in HF - Event
+1 French background student with mid tier BB graduate offer in London at hand guillaume.alexandre
+1 Generally no. Can maybe squeeze out an extra $10-15k if you have another offer that’s higher but be willing to be told to pound sand. CEO in IB - Gen
+1 It’s gonna be a reckoning for most tech PE firms. I am in PE and am very bearish on PE overall but software PE nowadays is even worse  The golden era of software investing is way over imho Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 So you didn’t tell your boy he’s being a goofy cornball, but you come on here to complain about him?  dukeblue2019
+1 Am interning in a BB but have contacts there who I used to go uni with Genuinely shit is what I've heard They are mainly fwik to be a financier and less an advisor in anything specific Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Thanks for the story and advice haha Let's say the highschool randos spam-add my colleagues — and get accepted — is that even something to worry about? user.n@me
+1 I’ve had the same experience. A lot of coffee chats feel friendly but kinda… nothing after. From what I’ve seen, networking doesn’t really “click” in real time, it’s more like delayed payoff. gentlegains_taylor
+1 bump Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Family office pretty cool and do some nice multi developments partnering with other similar family offices [email protected]
+1 Underperforming funds, like Platinum and Clearlake, should definitionally be disqualified from a list of “top industrial funds”. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Tech for VC is very effective for scrapping and gathering serious databse. If an analytical tool is supervising it, this is very powerful to assess both, investor sentiments, market trends/shift, potentail bubble... Hedi Mesme
+1 Hey, could you just explain what was weird with the recruiting this year? I’m a British citizen studying in the states that was recruiting for SA 26 (because of the whole h1b debacle). Intern in PE - Growth
+1 Curious Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Curious Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I'm at a lower ranked BB (Citi/BofA/Barc) but this imo. Comp delta between EVR and GS/JPM is around 80-100K a year in your associate years (probably more once you hit VP level). Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I think if anything, growing up poor and now spending so much time in an industry all about money has resulted in a  pretty unhealthy attitude towards it  swe2ibd
+1 This. Too many emotional and insecure people in positions of leadership drive too much wasted time. Plenty of logical secure culture driven shops out there that don't have countless hours of wasted busy work.  Managing Director in AM - FI

+1 IRR you ready to rumbleHe also lives in fucking Omaha. Read a book PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 an plusherelf
+1 The game has changed. Hedi Mesme
+1 Why bump someone to a 2nd 30 min zoom if you're gonna ding them already based on their poor performance on the 1st one? Doesn't really make sense imo Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Intern in PE - Growth Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 When do interviews for non dei/insight come out? wso warrior
+1 I don't think there are any fixed target schools list here in London for US but HRs are elitist AFFFF so make sure your school is globally known. brtfedd1312
+1 I think you’re doing great, you have your foot in the door which is a good step in the right direction. FleetingSpirit
+1 Rejected with 10 chats and MD referral from semi target with 4.0 and top tier internships so obv some decisions are being made lmao. What an absolute fucking joke of a firm  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I think a useful heuristic is even if there are 5 analysts (there are not) at each of the PERE 100s (I don’t think most people would know the names past 30-50) plus 70 decent sellside shops (aren’t that many) plus 30 MBA/M Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 It means there will be multiple super days until recruiting ends (prob end of March) youngbuffet
+1 My school isn’t a target at Jeff so not well poised to speak on it, but can confirm they haven’t been sent out yet at least for most people and people without special circumstances. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Thanks for responding and yeah I’m preparing my application to the roles that are open for applying still, I will DM you for some specific questions regarding the cover letter and the application process. bucanero66
+1 There are plenty of threads on this but any list where Goldman and Jefferies aren’t top 2 is a fake list. But if you want to lateral to NY Infra, Evercore or Moelis are great. AnonMonkey1738
+1 That is exactly where my thoughts came from. I took the LO offer because I think I’ll learn more than at the MM. I think that door will always stay open anyways. wannalbothem
+1 I'd focus on a combo of sheer quantum increase (like are you adding enough/too much dollars to each bucket) and implied EBITDA margins. SaaSChimp
+1 Found out after the interview that my case study (model + note) was "leagues above" the rest of the candidates, so I think the team was pushing heavily for me.  role109
+1 lots of them. people who take risks on a daily basis and for short timeframe especially equity are not good people to hang around with. most people hold shares for life and these guy zigzag their positions for a living. Intern in ER
+1 What kind of things are you able to do with it? I generally use my company's internal GPT for organizing notes and helping with slide title options and Gemini/ChatGPT for general quick market research.  Plexas
+1 What’s the move? If you’re ASO3 this year with easy track to VP promote, do you stay for the promotion and then jump ship to a good paying bank as a VP lateral? Do you leave now? Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I felt the exact same way last cycle, every call felt like a robotic script. munky293
+1 The best route would be you time the lateral so that you leave as soon as you hit VP1 and get the promotion at bofa. I would say lateralling as a young VP is harder but not that hard depending on the market. Analyst 3+ in Private Credit
+1 The problem I see here is that he can control compensation and hiring, which directly affects you. So if he gets pissed or plays not fair from the start; he could increase firm costs which you can’t do anything about. pudding
+1 Think answer depends on your deal experience. Would be shit to lateral as As3 and not get the promo because you're the new guy + no deals under your belt. yijocar279
+1 I played Big10 football and had like a 90% hit rate on cold emails to D1, Ivy League, and D3 football players in IB and PE. Also had a 50%+ hit rate with athletes from other sports. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Jef, DB, UBS, BAML, since these groups do alot of the modelling and execution. Also look at FSG at DB, Barc, UBS, Santander, BAML, MS, JPM and WF since these groups actually do model and execute PE buyouts. VP in PE - Other
+1 The only boogeyman we know of is John Wick nooneinparticular
+1 Finance clients expect precision. Study these staples to ensure your speed and accuracy. IBInterviewCoach
+1 I hope you got a reasonable answer on this one: Typical ECM hours: 50-70/week, spiking during deals. IBInterviewCoach
+1 It’s funny because the only thing finance bro knows about growing a business is just acquiring other companies. When if you talk to real operators, you’ll be stunned by how much they know about growth. monkeyvjit
+1 Fantastic group, if you get an offer from them you should definitely take it over every other bank, including Centerviewfor some more color on the group along with other groups, see the list i created here: The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
+1 Law and medicine require more intelligence than finance and consulting? I don’t really think so. Intern in PE - Other
+1 VP in PE - LBOs TechBanking
+1 koder has been talking a big game about trying to displace jp/ms/gs for top 2/3 - plus fees have been healthy and pipeline strong  would imagine/hope comp matches up...otherwise what r we doing Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 PE and PC are explosions waiting to happen nontraditionalchimpforbillions
+1 Yeah that’s most relevant at the VP or maybe Sr Asso level. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 May be ancedotal but it seems like most public banks have been underpaying bonuses and then a mass exodus of top performers leave. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Well maybe I’ve had too much tequila during this snowy weekend… IRR you ready to rumble
+1 That’s a personal question and no one can give you advice on it.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Honestly, fair. I've been enjoying my fair share of Havana Club. Shit's brutal outside -_- PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 I placed from a non-target/party state school. Luck is involved. There are simply too many candidates to NOT be considered lucky if you placed. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Atrocious take honestly. Do you have something against Indian working professionals in PE? Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 they do sponsor - just got offer smhsfj
+1 Honestly it isn't a bad thing to have multiple internships on a CV as it indicates experience, and you can explain at interview that it was non-convertible. Count WACCula
+1 there’s a great post about this from last year. Let me see if I can find it. Pulisic69
+1 This summers interns are for late 2027 starts. There will be a new CEO and head of IB by then Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Im dumb but what is EE, EM, MM? Intern in IB - Gen
+1 GordonGekko87 financeabc
+1 AN2 in coverage group - strongly interested in exploring the pivot as well Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 How about vs. Fundamental Edge? Associate 1 in ER
+1 Curious why you say this. What is your understanding of comp? From all the packages I’ve seen, it looks solid. Obviously, slightly lower than a risk taking seat but comes with the turf. Junior Trader in S&T - Comm
+1 This is what I was sent by a friend and former colleague. You are free to agree with it, or disagree with it. I thought I could contribute it to the dialogue. GordonGekko87
