Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Can’t speak to SREF as I was RESF (Real Estate Syndication Finance), but it was mainly behavioral, the few technicals were kind of more so to see if I’ve applied real estate skills in my previous experiences. cmolt0918
+1 It means wrong nutmegger189
+1 Georgetown's placement into IB is absolutely what people make it out to be. It is a target school, and virtually all firms recruit from there for their US roles.  COO in HF - Event
+1 Within Oxbridge, Oxford is primus inter pares. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Tell us more about what a TikTok retard thinks recoveringalc
+1 I was raised in a rural part of Eastern Europe and the only two non-local universities that I knew of as a child were Harvard and Oxford. VP in Private Credit
+1 Harvard and Oxford > Harvard and Cambridge VP in Private Credit
+1 Fellow vet. Have seen many, many vets aspire to be bankers after serving and then crash and burn out after a year or two tops in IB…. VP in IB - Cov
+1 What is comp for WF around? Chan@
+1 If an athlete, Williams easily, but it not, definitely go for Cornell. I say this as an eph. Best of luck and congrats Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Houston and Dallas...the brother cities plagued by urban sprawl and drought of culture. Corporate slop fest towns everywhere, concrete jungle or barren land with just grass, no in between. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Associate 1 in IB - Cov asodhausd
+1 Seeing GGP being referred to as formerly known as Brookfield must seem a bit alien to anyone old enough to remember the original GGP pre buyout Prospect in RE - Comm
+1 Low headcount and landing mega-deals wuandale33
+1 rutgers really did kill it with ebs this year. have heard a little bit more in numbers than what’s been listed above. It is very impressive. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Went to Princeton, can confirm it's extremely easy to get into any BB/EB IB role though some firms like CVP/GS are still competitive to get even as non-diversity. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Ok great. That'll be solid experience. If you prep appropriately, I think you'll place well, particularly within MM (which is more flexible on branding than MFs which are more myopically MBB focused). SaaSChimp
+1 Sorry but unlikely to land BB IB in SG/HK from canadian colleges, only UST15+Oxbridge (or UST30 + LSE/maybe but less likely IC & UCL for local residence). WUOUVV
+1 Like how? blipbloop123
+1 No lots of people break in directly through the summer --> full-time role pipeline too.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Probably another SD occurring today, since they usually occur on Friday. Best of luck. Will keep you updated. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I work in co investing / secondaries at a family office and I think the people I work with are really not that smart. VP is kinda just dumb and I don’t trust my MD’s judgement when it comes to investing. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 Being post grad in Houston is rough. The bar scene isn’t great. Sure there’s Kirby Ice House and the other bars in the Heights but chicks are mid and just not super fun venues. rockiemountainoyster
+1 As a first-year at Harvard, go to Stanford if you want to avoid the wrath of Dean Claybaugh. Pro Veritate
+1 Stern will get you all the looks a columbia/uchicago type school will get you. Very solid placements into mmhf l/s. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Super interesting report. tbh I’m surprised that the number of students without offers isn’t higher given the change in job market and increased competition. Still shows how tough it remains to get your foot in though gilbertstocks
+1 I could probably help with a few of these, though as already mentioned NYC MF market tough.  MaxCRECapital
+1 Yeah my list is primarily based on social prestige. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 dude don’t compare yourself to these kids who went to wharton -> GS -> Blackstone or whatever. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Probably market dependent, but I've had a lot of success at department stores. They usually have some diversity of options and in house tailors. MonopolyMoney
+1 Unlikely. VP1 is usually $450-500k range at Canadian banks. If you are at Scotia then $350-400k VP in IB - Cov
+1 Either you land mega deals like Dyal / Allen or you land a ton of deals that can vary across $100M - $2B like Ardea Group or AEC Advisors Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Hi.... so I am basically in the same position. Applied for the Fig group on march 25th completed the hv .. and got 3days later an "under consideration" email. Nothing else since.Have you got any updates? ibd_qwerty

+1 GPS  Prospect in HF - Other
+1 What is unclear about that green_duck
+1 at ~$1.4M at 30 and feel like shit after reading this haha Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 German is the combination of bad culture and long hours. guillaume.alexandre
+1 Any thoughts around potential for an exit to a HF role from co-invest? On one hand, the job is relatively similar, you have access to lots of research / data and your job is simply to make investment decisions. Prospect in CorpStrat
+1 Any from Loo this yr? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 yeah close/below 42 gets a bit grimey. overall, i think its a great first neighborhood to be in. rents will be cheaper as the housing stock is older, less/no amenities and walk-ups. MrWilliamEmerson
+1 Hell’s Kitchen is paradise  gayerthanchristmas
+1 definatley learn vba and maybe python/sql (build a few projects and learn how to use different libaries) ILOVEBANANAS123
+1 10 days is a bit too long. I'd lower your expectations and accept the ding after 14 days. Best of luck, though. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 let me work for u Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 It ain’t over till I see someone post on LinkedIn abt it😭 cmolt0918
+1 . vermillion235
+1 Rather than a specific trend I think there has a been a measurable shift away from target schools across the street this year, targets still placed well but a lot of non-targets have been eating away at traditional target Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 This is crazy. I assume Evercore (M&A only) is probably like half the size of MS or JPM? Yet they are generating ~70-80% of their fees Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 To answer your question: Harvard BA + Oxford BA. Not even a question lol Donkey from Shrek
+1 Know it's hard to say, but do you think the mid-level market (which to my understanding has been rough since 2023) will permanently be this competitive / sparse? As in there's a permanent reduction in seats across PE. innoutfan
+1 Start interviewing now to find somewhere else to go, it’s a declining franchise Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 How do they rank? Can anyone at UBS explain how it works from the inside perspective? Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Especially for smaller groups like FSG and C&R Intern in IB - Cov
+1 How many interns does each group take on average? Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I’ll give another data point: 35 - SM - somewhere between $4-5mm NW ($2mm liquid, rest is privates and equity value of primary residence), not counting carry. Principal in HF - Event
+1 does this answer his question ya dimwit Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I agree, I always thought a more accurate categorization would be: Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 These roles have been popularized and glorified through social media + excess spillovers from rough job market in tech/med/engineering fields has led to this current terrible state Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 They start June 7 (tuff 6 7 reference) Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 it was less competitive for me this year because I already did an internship banks are really pidgeonholing people into specific roles based on their backgrounds Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I mean it's not exactly entry level since they have years of experience beforehand. That's high, but if it's something like Insight that's not particularly surprising. Determined
+1 BA >>> any DPhil programme at Oxford in terms of prestige. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 You’re the only person to have made such a claim on this thread. Is there a reason why you believe this? It seems to be objectively false. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 School does matter, but it’s along the lines of people in groups helping other alums get their preferred groups. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 im a freshman finance major at uf right now and my gpa is a 3.55 cus of mental health problems throughout this year. shawn24
+1 Sounds like Goldman Dallas  tryyuav
+1 Isn’t AEC Adv. and Gugg above some of these? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I think REB is out cmolt0918
+1 An1 (first full year) -> An2 fx/rates sales 125k base, 100k bonus. Feels pretty good. Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 Junto isnt anything special. Myriad of better places to work Principal in HF - Event
+1 how long to hear back after SD? bpity
+1 Clients won’t start seeing your face until you make it to Sr VP, so no one will care about your appearance. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 A good chunk of wells fixed income operation is in Charlotte, so if you want to be in NYC I would go with BNP. Director in S&T - FI
+1 There is a somewhat long tail of no name shops but working at these firms may cause some issues in the long-run, a few names (indicative list) worth looking into include: klpd_klpd
+1 I don't think it's a super target in the traditional sense that Wharton is, rather a case of it's still super easy to get an offer from Princeton because A) people respect the school meaning all the major banks will try to Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Vandy and Georgetown do well. Never heard of the other schools doing well in my research, but could be wrong. accidentalanalyst
+1 Salary progression is terrible. As a junior, brokerage is only good for the deal reps. lemickey
+1 man just fucking clear it up. There are drugs that help you out with this. Accutane, Tretonin, Lymecycline etc Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 On the junior levels the bankers easily win. Then in mid+ potentially the consultants. At Partner level it’s irrelevant. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 What does (EVR/PJT/CVP) calibre firms even mean? There aren’t any other firms of that calibre Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Incoming first year corporate banking analyst at a BB in London £60k base + £6k signing No clue on bonus expectations  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 What is it about Canadians that are so hardo. You will very rarely see a “How did SEC schools fair in NY recruiting” or a “How did Italians do in London recruiting” thread. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah, you are right. It’s a painful theme across most BBs and European dominated team. I despise having conversation in local languages during working hours but it’s so well penetrated and hard to change unfortunately davani1420
+1 Harvard BA, Oxford MA Consultant in Consulting
+1 Whatever you do, do not go to 47th street if you’re serious about the authenticity of your watches. Super hard to verify that everything is authentic, and you’re more likely than otherwise to get a Frankenstein. LogiSticks
+1 Both two of the top desks. Macro credit is more versatile, yes, but try to end up on the nonlinear side (options/tranches/curves). Rates vol would lean towards gamma pod to start. Intern in S&T - Other
+1 Thank you for the insights man, I have the same view. I think I will opt for ESCP Sir IB_7
+1 Negotiated this a year ago but was a lucky case. B-school buddies essentially indistingushable from me in the class of 2023-4 (!) are still looking and messing around with CorpDev and startups. flipcup
+1 You might find OperPokerAI interesting. There's a thread on r/poker right now Lancer
+1 Ducera as well rooseveltfan
+1 Do not do this ^ Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Yes, true. I’m an ASO3 at a BB and probably make less than ASO1 at these shops. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Essec is 1/3rd French, 1/3rd Asian, and another 1/3rd is African. Escp is like 40-50% Italian if I remember correctly. I think the network effects are much stronger for you at ESCP. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Mine wasn’t, but are you also waiting to hear back from a SD before GF? Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 You need Propranolol  newlymintedbooth
+1 clientkid420Curious about a few things here: lujanahum
+1 Their M&A grouphead bought a crazy $5m New Rochelle waterfront villa, reflective of the crazy pay package he must be getting Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 lol EVR is the same size as LAZ and not sure where you got the data for MS having less bankers vs EVR... EVR has 1.6K bankers globally (not just M&A), pretty sure MS has much more lol Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
