+1 Try for UChicago will be way easier for you. Otherwise IU but make sure u get into a good club / workshop. Those places are only worth 2x the price if you make sure you get a top job (which is entirely up to you) Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 For IB and for nyc? wso warrior
+1 The brand name on your resume matters for about 2 years. Hedi Mesme
+1 It isn’t a bubble. It is just a lot of companies with no path to profits valued as if they already have AWS margins on unlimited demand with a technology base that can’t do what they claim it can. jl12

+1 Miami alum here. The answer is probably SMU given the longer track record of placing ppl on the street. That being said, the UM alumni network has exploded as of late (probably 2x over the last 4 ish years). southern alum
+1 Had a guy who was obviously reading off his screen, word for word. We asked whats the recipe for some obscure dish and he started reading it out before realising. Dinged straight away.   Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Not sure if it’s showing but ignore title. Recruiting is far more luck based than people like to admit. Put in as much effort as you can, which it sounds like you are, and you will end up where you’re meant to end up. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Del Anonymous Monkey
+1 It's really easy to tell, wouldn't recommend it unless you can really improvise / sound natural.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 BofA EGRC is a horrible place to start out your career. If you want to be in Los Angeles, try for JPM’s Mid-Cap team in LA, PWP, Jefferies, Moelis etc. VP in IB - Cov

+1 I think it’s actually worse than bofa this year Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Yes you need to sit down and do a 1 tab practice LBO 100 times. Literally should be at a point where only limiting factor is typing speed because you have mechanically memorized every single formula. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 If the person is fine at getting through the modelling; it's likely they are fine. The bigger issues that people spend too long trying to make their model complex and perfect. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Agree there, but my VP or anyone on the floor is not teams pinging me. I got MO/BO working on the 10s of fires I'm trying to put out Winthorpe
+1 DO not choose RJ over GS lmao. Take the GS offer Intern in IB - Gen
+1 just whip it out bruv Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 this is concerning  Principal in IB - Cov
+1 Given how hopeless your initial question / replies / general writing style is, I am shocked you have even have a single one of these 3 offers  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Thank you - very helpul. Have you seen anything that would be of concern or maybe favorable to MBA graduates in this job market? Investment Analyst in HF - Event

+1 Heavy and non-existent, respectively. Next question son Research Analyst in HF - Other

+1 Junior PM here How heavy is the work in markets and how heavy is the writing/presentation aspect?  usernameladiesman217
+1 Can only speak for EMEA - would be your classic BB suspects, especially MS & GS. Citi is decent as well but not close to the former two. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Associate 1 in IB - CovGuess the non-revenue generating ex Barclays MDs ate the bonus. Better luck next time!  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Associate 1 in IB - GenASO1$45kMiddle gg Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 If you knew how bad this group is, you would not be saying this. Think about the worst group at UBS. No deal flow, just worthless market pitch books and crappy pay. Works at Goldman Sachs
+1 Heard first year analysts clear 200k+ cash Intern in Private Credit
+1 I believe these numbers. Seen something similar at BOA with my own eyes and ears. Associate 2 in CorpDev
+1 I don’t think it’s a bubble. Some of the companies might be overvalued, however. acardboardmonkey
+1 UBS seems to be making up for bad top line numbers by aggressively decreasing junior comp. It’s a win-win, increases short term profitability and helps push out the weakest hands who are only in it for comp Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - GenAre these numbers being posted real? They are worse than anything Ive ever seen Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 No, unless you think that work-life balance / culture / exits are more important. GL on your superdays, would prioritize getting a feel for those topics to decide. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 That’s tough. Hard to know w/o more detail on founder. But I would lean the tried and true BB to PE to SM. ProbablyEngAnyway
+1 . fadedbannana
+1 Any thoughts on newer funds like Baypine or Haveli? Understand less of a track record as a combined fund, but founders at both seem to have really strong pedigree. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Director 1Middle$130k, but 30% in stock. Trash Quitting this year odds up to 100% Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Seems generally right but upper end of range is higher for top bucket VP in IB - Gen
+1 Please do not goal seek. Make your own assumptions that are justifable instead. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Hate is warranted but what bank is doing cola lol Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Actual an1 here. I will say every class thinks their class is the hardest year for recruiting. The class sizes are all generally the same outside of some banks expanding and some banks cutting. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 "even the college newspaper's business board" lol this is definitely referring to CrimBiz at Harvard which I was a member of during my undergraduate years Donkey from Shrek
+1 Do I gotta spell it out for u bro? thegreatspoofing
+1 satire? iercurenc
+1 > gadly
+1 Ignore title but having received a couple PE offers and got past the case studies, I personally found it way more impactful to focus on the drivers of the business. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 PE exits same at both so if priority is comp / experience - easily Evercore. If optionality and brand name outside of finance, obviously Goldman. Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+1 Yes and no, depends heavily on the school and its processes (ie. Kelley (C tier non-target) vs Kelley IBW (semi-target to target) Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Case Team pipeline, literally just weeks of grinding PE case studies canadianibftw
+1 Personally didn’t comp CrimBiz but have a few friends that did. What was it like for you and are you aware of how much it has changed since? Pro Veritate
+1 Hey man, I appreciate you taking your time to provide your insight. I kind of figured this would be the route which is nice to hear because it’s of my interest as well. evan11

+1 BMO? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 HV's are currently being processed, and it will be a direct to SD like the targets have, just a bit delayed. Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+1 I appreciate from your point of view that reneging isn't ideal but this is absolutely a no-brainer to go for the FO role. Broketree Capital
+1 Yes, if timeline is ASAP, get on HHs’ radars immediately. The earlier you start (while you still have a job), the pickier you can be.  SaaSChimp
+1 I think they are, haven’t seen any good numbers aside from those on guarantees Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Chill the fuck out bro lol. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 BofA numbers look like this. They getting a good competitor from UBS in trash comp. Associate 2 in CorpDev
+1 Also interested rotatingpizza
+1 It's good to be realistic. If I'm being honest, you'll probably have to start out in Ops at a MM or Lmm bank, Compliance, trade settlement, IT support, so on and so forth. Substack_Guy
+1 FIU kid - Cross Keys -> WF -> EVR  Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 Bumping, don't have much to add but am in a similar place. Main thing is - I'm currently gearing myself to understand how shit actually works on the live deals I'm on. Prospect in RE - Comm

+1 employees for sure Developer in RE - Comm
+1 Wharton is on the same level as HYP among the Ivy League schools which is why I added it to the acronym. Doesn’t necessarily indicate that I go there. DeletedAccount...
+1 Why the move from Singapore to London? Surely the quality of life/lifestyle is worse in London along with higher taxes. Genuinely curious as I've been trying to make the opposite move Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
