+1 UGA on the rise UBSTopBucket
+1 I personally would take the MM Huge gamble as you could end up unemployed if you don’t convert  designa888
+1 What are they feeding the guys at Evercore man, damn...  professional.form.filler
+1 If I had an internship in M&T or M&A or FIG or RELL, I would try to get the return offer but then leave for a different bank. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 On the RX consulting side, but not bad. I think I get fairly compensated for the work I put in. Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 First of all, congrats! I think you should decide based on which colleges location, vibes, or academics interest you the most. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 How do you vet the opportunity? I'm interviewing around and don't want to make a mistake user123xD
+1 I’d prefer a bit more on your own deals, but your carry is the most fair part. Salary and bonus are low, IMO.  CRE
+1 I know Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Mubadala Investment Company are in Dubai and the Public Investment Fund has a big presence in London. Associate 1 in Legal
+1 You’re definitely at Moelis lol Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 He’s a troll who goes to Cambridge and copes over the fact that Cambridge is not as well-known by third-worlders and random laypeople as Harvard/Oxford are. Intern in Acct - Tax
+1 I wouldn’t go to Dubai at this time. VP in CorpStrat
+1 You nailed it. These were the exact emotions I went through when I took a Corp Dev role Pietro C.
+1 Man going to gtown over stern is a generationally bad decision Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Congrats on dartmouth Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 They need your services to open the Strait of Hormuz Consultant in IB - Gen
+1 2 to citadel, 1 to mill, 2 to balasyny, 1 to tg, 4 to p72...  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Congrats on USC of the west (south carolina is a better school) Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 In very broad strokes: UChicago = intellectual, nerdy, and maybe slightly socially awkward. Stern = knew they wanted to do finance at 15, extremely competitive, and technically savvy. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 After spring sports I’m planning to go full throttle into SAT. I’m working on getting an internship at the moment but if it doesn’t pan out I’ll be working that regular old job. MyLossesAreUnrealizedSoTheyDontExist
+1 Agree with this. Also, “strong hiring demand” is maybe one additional seat. They’d rather just give a bigger bonus to their current seats, and if they don’t, most would just poach. whackyworm
+1 Yeah I’ll be going on senior status. I did my secondary (minor for most unis) in economics so I had a decent enough foundation to get senior status. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Del BankingBeluga
+1 Well of course.. Oxford is one of the oldest universities in the world, ingrained in the British culture and the other is a business school with a campus there for a few decades. How is it a good comparison?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Preach brother finestride saved my hair. Started losing stupid amounts of hair at 19 but after hopping on finestride at 20 90% has grown back. I take 1mg daily and it’s a straight up miracle drug. Job Trunicht
+1 I'm curious - in RE is it more on you to reach out to HHs unlike Banking where it's the other way around? wetlamplord
+1 Another point, are you on a visa or not? If you are, it’s a huge gamble as you’re risking getting sent back home Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks to both of you for your comments, ofc the Oxbridge are another rank, but I also saw that there are more ESCP a Sir IB_7
+1 If you want to work in finance and not consulting, even if HEC MiM is one of the best programs in the world, the MS in Finance at Bocconi is the deal (it would be diferent if it had been the HEC MiF). Sir IB_7
+1 Look at this UBS clown, always full of excuses Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 When I first started at UBS they were 5th, that’s why a goal of 6th was originally reasonable on the (now laughable) press tour they did claiming that Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 DB Ind very sweaty but beasts - well regarded across the street. Good exits recently as well (ie Apollo, Carlyle, Blackstone, KKR) nordicsx
+1 my understanding is that its a very strong team and well regarded across the street - good deal exposure (very sweaty) and A+ exits (ie Apollo, Carlyle, KKR, Blackstone) recently nordicsx
+1 Betting is a degenerate activity. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Stern did well this year. IAG placed half top BB/EB and half top buyside.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I have friends at Rothschild. Comp is pretty mid most years, and it’s a total black box as to what it’ll ever be. A close family friend is a very productive MD there and he’s looking to move.  user_5991
+1 Good luck, looking for similar pivot as well. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 it probably means there's no hard cut off policy Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Fantastic culture Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 What ended up happening there? Did Vanderbilt’s career center get involved? CuriousGeorge1024
+1 Friend worked there 2-3 years ago and said the senior folks / overall investment strategy was pretty mediocre. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 UCC won’t carry you obviously, so you need the right internship/grad role to jump to LDN (unless you can jump straight over but that will be a bit harder). You’d be most able to land stuff in Dublin. Murphy_1827
+1 This is great advice. Over-explaining or talking continuously after you made your point will only dig you into a hole or sets you up to say something you shouldn't.   Band of Monkeys
+1 LMAO alright kid Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 JPM actually notorious for this Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You’ll take a haircut vs London in gross base salary but there’s obviously the tax benefit. You should get a relocation bonus but guarantee unlikely as you’re moving from a sell side role.  Rocky6
+1 Your American favouritism is showing. How is it biased sampling? Just because people disagree with you doesn’t make them biased. What kind of logic is that!?! DeletedAccount...
+1 Quora is just a Asian/Indian forum at this point. Most of the Asian elite also send their kids to the HYPSM schools. Know a couple of Asian billionaires and politican kids who went to my school over Oxbridge as well. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I grew up in a rural part of a middle-income SEA country and I think I knew of Harvard when I was 5 and of Oxford when I was 5-6. Didn’t know what Cambridge was until a few years ago when I moved to the UK. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Thank you so much for the insights! I really appreciate it Prospect in IB - DCM
+1 Lol I just saw they were originally estimating $379,506 per unit all-in. Just north of Avondale in Peoria there is a 2021 deal being marketed right now for $210,000 per unit. Multiverse
+1 You can check on team page yourself, but have been told directly by people on the team they give their top performing associate a direct promote offer. Sometimes they still go MBA. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah agreed - if people want to query the platform let them do that in a separate section acardboardmonkey
+1 Idk man I'm a male poc myself and just fit in fine, probably helps that I'm not a fob and grew up abroad with WASPs so it's just regular interactions for me. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 You da man. Did you change your name too? Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Making this about yourself you clout chasing loser Investment Analyst in VC
+1 It's great. I'm from a PE background myself, and can attest that it's notably better in terms of WLB, especially if you join a billable hours firm. More interesting long term as well. Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 Will post a thread here posted in the Slack. Forensically proving this was set up by perplexity. These kids are nepos. Principal in HF - Other
+1 Strong team in EMEA, punching well above its weight. Sweatshop. Best vertical is Services Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I'm not saying this because they were both by Dem administrations. GOP did try to block it but Kim was still discretely enriching uranium which went against the agreement. bddjfj1345
+1 Like who the hell would put in 5 hours of effort on a NVDA pitch when the judges have jensen on speed dial braxtonberrios
+1 Assuming this is Oppenheimer, given the shitty base, aim to live in Jersey City - specifically Journal Square or even Harrison/Newark. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I know someone who does this. They are killing it. Might look to do it myself  Reigns and RedBulls
+1 Go to Stanford. You already said you want to be on the West Coast, that alone should carry the decision. silverbackape2000
+1 Yes, go to a British forum if you would like to be humbled. The facts are:1. The US is a leagues better place to work and build wealth rooseveltfan
+1 No HF is hiring bizecon rooseveltfan
+1 Like every uchi buyside is bizcon Intern in IA
+1 You'll know. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I have seen this exact situation maybe 4-5 times in my career so far and, since I keep tabs on folks, a grand total of one of those firms actually scaled into escape velocity. Principal in HF - Event
+1 IU did above average in terms of placement. Similar BB/EB placement as in previous years but better overall numbers with a couple more buyside as well Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 It’s not lol Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Harvard BA + Oxford BA if you want the full prestige of both universities because advanced degrees (especially at Oxford) are seen as cash cows by the undergraduate alumni. Prospect in ER
+1 The fact these are the kids that made it to the finals proves exactly why tech bros should stay out of finance’s business…nobody on Perplexity could see through this garbage? liquidiot
+1 Do you like workouts?  Principal in HF - Event
+1 interning at moelis is not a good litmus test for your ability to pitch - far from it  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 This is something you chop up with your buddies in college, mentors and people you know have done it frontierflyer
+1 Why don’t people ever leave there? PM Associate
+1 I think bigger issue is that their software investments were already bad / performing badly before the whole Claudecode and private credit implosion, it's even worse now and the fund was already struggling fundraising; thi Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Trinity first year associate is $210 Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Harvard/Oxford are the only unis that have ubiquitous brands in my home country CEO in Non-profit
+1 Can you just backload the math requirements. Realistically, you’ll need the time, especially in this market, and the Gpa. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Combo of Principal stemming from a Life Company, and the fact that most, if not all the talent is local. Prospect in RE - Comm
+1 There’s definitely a lot of noise in rumours like this, and both earlier replies are right to focus on exposure rather than headlines. leoquinn
+1 Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/ubs-pulls-celsius-469… Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Sensationalist. This is a fund redemption issue, not reflective of underlying health of the balance sheet of UBS the bank. Same as all the private credit funds being gated. petight
+1 I’m not saying Obama’s deal was perfect, I’m saying what he got 10 years ago was better than the best case scenario of Vance’s pathetic negotiations this weekend. Soros_
+1 Doxxing a kid on main is vile Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Bump, also interested in a London perspective if anyone could help Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 for oil trading type roles your options are at a bank or somewhere like BP/Shell/Exxon/Trafigura most if not all of them have a dedicated internship program which have been talked about on the site ILOVEBANANAS123
+1 I would say 3.7 or so KR8000
+1 Am a senior at Cornell going to a top BB and involved with clubs. 18 kids got JPM last year, similar amount this year as well. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Is it that hard to write 2 small paragraphs without copy-pasting from chatgpt ? pitchdeck
+1 Borat arbsat
+1 Agreed,You’re pretty much right, it still feels like a “two Americas” situation. On paper things look stable, but on the ground in the Sunbelt it’s still tough. komaldignitasdigital
+1 You are looking at a full reset, the skillsets are not overlapping. This move is quite hard to be honest and would require a huge pay cut. Pods PM usually prefer young people that they can train in the process. CopperStone
+1 with your level of experience, you need to be playing for HSD % of carry, which is where I assume the phantom equity comes from. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Quick update for anyone reading this: I ended up going to HBS and successfully made the pivot to the buy-side (joining a LO fund post-grad). throwaway_17
+1 For post MBA analyst roles at large LO funds you start somewhere around $350k-$400k TC. $180k-$200k base + 100% bonus. Bonus can scale up to 2x-3x down the road, though ceiling depends on firm. throwaway_17
+1 All of your recruiting is going to take place in sophomore fall and winter. So I would say that it could be doable. Most banks don’t check GPA after the offer. They check it during the application. Assistant in Legal
