Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Not a great idea in general, but a terrible idea for quant. S&T folk will eat that military shit up, not true for 90% quant recruiters.  Pulisic69
+1 just assuming. No confirmed source itsesketiyeti
+1 Funny, but GS does virtual superdays. Prospect in IB - Gen

+1 Yet another "I'm 15 and this is deep"-tier post from someone who just simply doesn't get it Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 How does FP compare to these others? Are they viewed as a true comp to TB / SL? Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 This is brutal LittleManiac
+1 1. Effectively zero use in LDN/SYD. Chinese in only required for mainland/HK/TW coverage from HK office. For cross-border deals, the China side's taken care of by the HK/BJ/SH banking desk. 2. No. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 would really doubt ud be automatically dinged (plans always change and HR knows this and p sure they are concerned w kids delaying their grad date, not advancing it). Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Got in 7am (was doing a load of public markets stuff so needed to be around for the RNS go-live), spent a full day on that and two other live deals and some other pitches, finished up at maybe 3am once the next 7am announc Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 Weak franchise often means having to take more risk to make pnl compared to a Jp type place with monster flow Intern in S&T - FI
+1 Similar career situation albeit worked in IB for 8 years VP in IB - Gen
+1 If this is for HL RX LA, it’s going to be 5 rounds or at least that’s what it was for me on the superday. zoomizoomi
+1 can confirm, quite helpful. They are doing first round of r1s this week for candidates who attended the event Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 Not sure to be honest… Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 How do you think about DCF modelling given all the moving parts that can be easily manipulated (wacc,Tv, g etc.) to align with your thesis? And generally valuation? mg2000
+1 Google war dog
+1 Full team VP down didn't leave the office from 9:00am Thursday to 5ish PM Friday. I took an hour nap on my MD's office couch around 7:00am on Friday before getting back to my desk. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Just say 'This time is different' bro moneymaker03
+1 What sector/group? VP in RE - Other
+1 Oh man I feel awful for you. That’s a tough situation. I would suggest sending me your allowance each month. At least that way it goes to a deserving person  Works at Citigroup
+1 Ken may sound like a clown but he does have real mandates that he places. As with everything in life, this is a numbers game. Benson Says
+1 Yeah so at my firm we’re either biggest or 2nd biggest team on the FI side. Analyst 1 in AM - FI
+1 FWIW I know someone who broke into IB last minute (June after graduation) when an 10 MDs at a BB got poached by a smaller bank trying to grow their IB practice - it started his career. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 gentlegains_taylor: Mr. Moe
+1 Wells  VP1 promoted to VP2 $520k all in, middle buck  Overall satisfied, from what I’m hearing VP2s and VP3s are clipping insane numbers. VP in IB - Gen
+1 TBH, IB interviews aren't that hard to prep for. The material is well known, it's a lot of behavioral stuff. usernameladiesman217
+1 ChatGPT please explain to me what girls are. Thx VP in IB-M&A
+1 Depends a lot on if the firm staffs locally or nationally. If nationally, nyc still has a slight edge in terms of your chances of being utilized, followed by Chicago / LA, and then Houston / Dallas. Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 Fundraising is almost entirely a sales-focused career. Used to deal with a lot of the guys at EVR/LAZ PCA in my prior role doing fund manager research. ConfrmFUT
+1 what are you hearing about VP2/VP3? Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Just to clarify - you meant VP1 getting promoted to VP2 in 2026 VP in IB - Gen
+1 I’ve been accepted and am considering going to Vanderbilt so I’ll give my two cents having networked with many within the program. mrguy
+1 therealgekko IsItREPE
+1 I've been playing around with ClaudeCode and was able to make this map based crm https://pinpoint-crm-x278.dartup.dev/ as a proof of concept. Director in RE - Comm
+1 Only in the dating market chickenp
+1 Bump CuriousGeorge1024
+1 It's hard to know without understanding the specifics of how bad your conversation was, but in the people I've seen get bad reviews, most ended up leaving. BoutiqueAsc
+1 Of course lol, they are the king word-cels. Love armchairing things. Epitome of theoretical but not applied. Raijin
+1 Aware this isn’t PE focused but have you considered going downstream into VC (and maybe growth)? Wouldn’t your skillset/long-term ambitions be more aligned there? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 all the reasons u mentioned make FT harder, but i would say in my personal experience (this literal past FT cycle), i would say how random the process is what makes it difficult. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 supers out no_home_jerome
+1 This reminds me of Lehman Brothers 2008. I knew there was fraud happening within Wells Anchorage (insider trading, stealing company snacks, etc), but I never thought it come to this. anonymizeplease
+1 Oxford Brooks obviously. MarcBahamas
+1 thank you for making me feel bad the tax reminder, friend... Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yes after cost of living and taxes adjusted it's certainly indeed above NYC. brtfedd1312
+1 Has anyone heard from SF TMT monkeyman_5
+1 Sweet Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 i think we just have to wait in this case, jan is for people with diversity and strong referral. Aweco0429
+1 Every firm is different. Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 I actually had a tax advisor/accountant long before VP1. Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Also (speaking from friends and where I'm due to intern this summer) the hours are a little less than in the US so it is possible to enjoy life a little outside of a live deal.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 As someone currently in the TMT group, the IND group makes us look like heaven lmao.  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 This has got to be the dumbest argument and comparison I have ever heard. If you need to stretch that deep to make your argument, then you probably know how weak of an argument it is. anon1019
+1 Rates is most interesting imo Pulisic69
+1 Got it. The COS pitstop though muddies the story since you made two short stops before searching for your fourth role now, so I can’t fault your old firm.  SaaSChimp
+1 Did any offers go out for AM PC Dallas? str342
+1 to gain conceptual understanding you have to run different versions of the same qs on the guide. just ask chat to spit some out, all structured differently. don't just solve for it in ur head, verbally walk through it. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 People do move from BB to MBB, so it’s not insane but it will be competitive and you’ll basically be re‑running a full MBB recruiting process. prakhargoel
+1 The only answer here is to network. It's too messy of a story for any HH to really push you hard unless you had already cultivated that HH relationship way in advance (which you clearly didn't). overandout
+1 What’s the comparison lol Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 TBH the AI bot pretty much covered it so won't repeat it. Associate 3 in IB - Restr
+1 here's the case in point on the risks of leaving corporate and starting your own business. Kevin25
+1 Yeah 1 year as an associate is tough. You will need to be an associate 1 again most likely and you will be older (but I assume late 20's so not that old) so you need to convince someone you're really hungry. kuf135
+1 +1 to this. A large majority of neighborhoods for some of the LIRR train lines have homes that sell for at least $1-2M. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Fair enough. Pre-tax you’re looking at a high end of 14,314 McD’s quarter pounders (with cheese of course) So, just about enough to feed OP’s mum Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Bump, or any Infra resources people found useful for that matter Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Grocery store flowers, a nice card, and dinner at a restaurant we like. Maybe a box of chocolates if I see one I like when getting the card. Together 10 years now DealFlu
+1 Xxx smokingdatpack
+1 Is this for the FT Process  Prospect in Non-profit
+1 Damn can't believe a Canadian school is bigger target that my school lol  user_21b8123
+1 What TC comp are you expecting in corporate roles? I am a SR associate meagfund, is it fair to expect $250k-$330k or am I delusional?  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 WF Aso3 -> VP1 Total Comp: ~$450 Base: $225 -> $275 Happy overall. Group had a strong year and I worked on some interesting deals. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 What groups have heard back in CSG? vvvson
+1 Banger wuandale33
+1 Thank you so much for putting this together. I have exploding offers between two top groups that I'm really torn between, do you mind if I PM you? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks. How's the SA experience would be? Would you say MS's Houston commodities S&T is less coveted than GS and Citi? Prospect in HF - Macro
+1 Yes, a scaled private equity GP is one of the best business models on the planet, and this is one of the reasons. kuf135
+1 bump guccigang82374192837569134875
+1 These days fees charged to portcos get offset against the mgmt fee lot of the time  Works at Goldman Sachs
+1 The bump was announced today, it was $250 prior to today Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 5+ YOE, 3+ buyside, event driven SM. TC $415k. Decent fund performance and above avg team performance. >$500m AUM per IP. Thought # was fair to low ish, but feeling underpaid after seeing thread Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Pen and paper method is underrated—spend the time to work out the flow of the fundamental questions on paper, after that curveballs and different scenarios make a lot more sense on the fly Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Absolutely, feel free to PM/DM me, happy to give my two cents. The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
+1 Only go to PE if you want to work as a professional investor. If that isn’t interesting or exciting to you, then stay put. The marginal difference in comp (other than outlier carry situations) is likely minimal. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 absolutely crazy that you are making about the same as some bofa ib assos while working less than 40 hrs Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 berkeley? macromonkey001
+1 Depends on the bank. DB LevFin is probably their strongest group for exits, and does really well in credit exits and leauge tables. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I don't think capital market groups at even GS should be put above the top groups at the mid-tier BB's at least from an exits perspective. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Not advice but I did something similar and didn’t say anything until after my summer ended once I had the return offer and made a good impression. Didn’t want to jeopardize the chance I had before it started. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Im pretty confident the reason banks require SA to be students after the internship is for tax-purposes. As another comment mentioned, I think they get some sorta subsidy. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I’d like to chime in because I've had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Phoenix Learning and was one of the best investments early in my career.  Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+1 UBS VP1275265540 all inAsia coverageMid-top i think. Small team VP in BB
+1 You need asymmetric upside and that takes risk. PE isn’t risk…it’s just a lot of hard work. I’m in tech and most of my net worth gains (2x, 3x some years) have been because of RSU appreciation. ConfusedGuru
+1 Well let’s hope for the best lol, I’ll keep you updated  Anonyous1
