+1 As I understand it, moves internally in Europe/UK only happen after you've got your ACA. It's also a lot easier to exit after you've got your ACA. nutmegger189
+1 LOL, where is Fenchurch?? davani1420
+1 CMU is a small grinder school. But like anywhere else there are people who are down to have fun. I was in Greek life and enjoyed it a lot. pants_pooper_67
+1 Appreciate the response. Makes sense that EQ and being intentional about being open and meeting people at the onset are how the relationship gets going. CRE Mamba
+1 underpromise and overdeliver clown159
+1 Thanks this is helpful. When negotiating my offer, I asked if that's something they would do, and they said no unfortunately. Your point about figuring out what is really valued (might not be an MBA) is well taken. Developer in RE - Comm

+1 Unfortunately can't comment on Odyssey specifically but know there have been a handful of spinouts recently - Fusion Capital, Chimney Rock as two that come to mind. NuclearPenguins
+1 Not the above poster but for family offices needing sponsorship likely even harder, a lot of places are too small to be set up to support this / don't want to deal w/ the hassle. NuclearPenguins
+1 Where's the proof of that? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 "It never ceases to amaze me how there are so many ways to make a buck and you are stuck thinking you can’t make real money unless in IB/PE/HFs." jl12
+1 Hmm, explain more, I'm not really understanding  nutmegger189

+1 This is pretty standard. If you train appropriately a simple model (ie no balance sheet) should take you roughly 20-30min to complete. A 3-statement LBO with PF balance sheet & projections should take 45min. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 If you have family money, no.  If you don't and sacrificing a few years of your 20s will set you up to provide for your wife and kids in a way you otherwise couldn't, yes.  Associate 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Slightly opinion based but still I think this is still objectively correct. Pensions: CPP, OTTP, Omers (Oxford), other Pensions would be slightly lower. MaxCRECapital

+1 Germany culture is not that hard compared to some other countries. It's more than there is a huge difference between the "usual" jobs and leaving at 5pm vs banking hours. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 When you say MiM, is it the Programme Grande Ecole Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Recommend going on LinkedIn and searching for usafa grads currently in IB to speak to. There’s actually very few of them compared to usna/usma grads but most will help and be willing to do a call with you. Works at Goldman Sachs
+1 Other vets will help you, but the vast majority of bankers (for better or worse) will be pretty indifferent that you were in the military. Outtadistrict
+1 This is true indeed - and make sure to height maxx and meth maxx. Oh, and congrats on UBS! fuckshampoo21
+1 Hours are good (average 50-60 but haven't been on a deal sprint in a while) because we have weak deal flow so good from a WLB perspective but bad from an experience perspective which is why I'm trying to leave. innoutfan
+1 In that case, you'd be well-served to peruse through the LinkedIn's of some of kids that have placed. They will likely have something in their activities section, from which you can pick up some common organizations. goodegg123
+1 No international positions are extremely discounted in US recruiting, especially Asia.  Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Just weak deal flow overall.  Manager in CorpStrat
+1 If you already have Michigan on your LinkedIn, then when you search specific banks LinkedIn will automatically filter by "People that went to your school." Kick the tires on that for an hour or two, and you will begin to s goodegg123
+1 Sorry in advance that I’m not answering your questions. But the NYC multifamily market is currently a bloodbath and it’s going to be hard to find an analyst acquisitions role. Not impossible. But hard. pudding
+1 Japan imo. Stay in a ryokan, especially one that has an in-house onsen or one close by. Pierogi Equities

+1 CBS is like the Stern of MBA programs. Solidly a top target with enough prestige, but it's really a very competitive, high-paced environment where people only basically just care about outcomes.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah I was thinking having it capped at 18% on a deal like this is a negative but I guess with the junior equity it would only be so high. And with it being a failed lease up works more in your favor as well.  cragfar
+1 Just went through a FT process at a MM and the technicals were extremely light. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 nowadays nearly every top ~75 school has kids place  It’s not the same as it used to be and it’s only going more in that direction WCWP1
+1 Ask your team for good examples of pages, excel backups, etc. that they liked and conform your formatting to them. Lift pages when you can otherwise try to modify / replicate Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 ispreadaidsIB is for mentally deficient losers. True analysts pass the CFA Too much work. I’m lazy and I like money, thus IB. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 Depends on bank, even among the BBs. Analyst 2 probably ~90-100k TC. Base probably 70-75. Analyst 3 probably materially higher assuming you get promoted ~115-130k. Base probably 80 or so. nutmegger189
+1 130 pounds base, up to 100% bonus.   betachimp
+1 With your background and all of your activities, you're already in a great position. dollyartasia
+1 I'd want to say Japan as it would definitely be a beautiful recharge but I think Japan is better experienced in a 10-14 day minimum. There's a lot and it's not a place you want to have rush and urgency with. Raijin

+1 Stop jerking off Stern. You're crazy if you think they were 3rd to none per capita.  Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Not impossible, just hard. RX consulting will get your foot in the door for elite RX IB, but you’ve got to do the rest. The problem is more so the people you’ll be up against VP in IB - Restr
