Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 If you’re truly the most qualified candidate they’ve ever seen, they wouldn’t drop you over your non-target school, and if policy were to never hire from that school they wouldn’t waste time interviewing you… Partner in PE - LBOs
+1 any reputable firm (yes even a firm like HIG) will pay for flights. If they don’t thats a red flag and I would avoid VP in PE - LBOs

+1 Did my HireVue last week. Haven't heard back for SD shiiiiaaaa
+1 Inventory is recognized when sold as COGS, since you just purchased it there is no effect on IS and no *net effect on CFO and so FCF doesn’t change Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Actually don’t go to Lake Lanier😭 if you’re into lakes go to either Oconee or Burton CRB
+1 I am looking at the exact path as well. I am doing undergrad in Europe and unless I want to wait for an MBA in my late 20's, the only way to brake into U.S finance is a masters. solankedominik96
+1 This literally doesn’t even sound like a true story. If it is, you better make sure they know that.. nontrgetplz_
+1 At a target school here, definitely less important than people make it out to me. j1298ohn1298
+1 1 lb ground beef 1 cup of rice 1 can of tomatoes seasoning of choice. Cook rice separately from beef. Mix after both are done cooking. Can toss an avocado in if you're feeling nice.  geekermonkey

+1 DEI should just be abolished all together LockedIn Bezos
+1 This is actually easier to answer than the previous posts imply. Create a map of where the fanciest private schools are. You are done. They are where the "poshness" is, and the posh want to live near them. StreetToStreets
+1 Late to the game here but this thread caught my eye. Would be curious to see where you ultimately shook out! To the extent helpful: thatsnachocheese
+1 Wouldn't even dip my toe in Lake Lanier chrismoltisanti

+1 name does not check out. if you're worried about your WLB as an analyst ngmi. depends on your ambitions - like you said they are very different environments. brosephstalin
+1 Almost right, would put UBS Tech (Menlo specifically) at least in A-tier UBS is Paradise Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Thanks for the advice. I was putting off cold emailing because I didn’t want to start too early since recruiting is in a little less than a year. Should I start now? samanthakatz

+1 not trying to give anyone here chills just trying to tell him that from an inside club perspective a lot of the kids would get offers without the club Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I would choose Fordham (NYC is an advantage if you use it effectively) or Nova (ok mm ib placement typically) get a 4.0 and then transfer into a target school or high semi target with a large alumni network. youngbuffet
+1 my referral was an AN1 or 2 I believe - maybe they take us straight to super (im delusional) wallstreethardo1232
+1 You should try to find other internships once you graduate and move to the US. No point staying as a bank teller and trying to internally transfer if you can just intern at another role. baboonloori
+1 Are you out of your mind? KageSelly
+1 At this risk of not reading between the lines - have you gotten candid feedback on your performance? StillNomad
+1 Data confirms the perception Principal in IB - ECM
+1 lol def not ibibib999
+1 Yes you can definitely do this plan. Just don’t expect the teller thing to be “transferrable” skill-set when recruiting for IB, you’ll need to lean on other stuff you pickup outside of that obviously.  Works at Bank of America Merrill Lynch

+1 It’s tough to distinguish here given at UBS  VPs are called directors and directors are called executive directors Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Santander > Lazard 🤣 Prospect in Non-profit
+1 Yes. They are so bad that both strategic and sponsor sellers explictly ask them not be included in processes. Sellside bankers also often exclude them. Their level of Aholness is a uniquely high even within PE. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Associate 2 Coverage- Quarter zip, pen, and a coffee mug Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Avoid. Roomate works there and it’s a demon sweat shop Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 How often do u see the kid? rolo25
+1 I take it you didn't get the invite to the island? Sucks to suck Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Ask him to split it 50/50. Jk. He’ll cover it man. No need to offer it either or stress it. He’s a partner so he wines and dines clients all the time. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 super chill – all behavioral Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Generally, think you should try to spend sub-2500 on rent in your analyst years with 1 or 2 roommates. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Alr bro this is getting cringe a.guy101
+1 Analyst 2 in IB - Cov Associate 2 in IB - CB
+1 This understaffed
+1 HL definitely a cut above the rest. Fintech as a whole is kinda poor plus you're ripping 110 hours weekly and they work you to the bone. PE exits also not great but think ftp positions you well for vc SmushyPancake
+1 Looking at the wrong tables, still Top-3 in M&A behind EVR and CVP but down year for them nevertheless  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Lol at MS Some guy signed a TPG Offer then never showed up to the office only worked from home. Got a 10K FU Bonus Prospect in Non-profit
+1 Ground turkey or beef, rice, cottage cheese, wilted salad greens, sriracha, other seasonings of choice. Maybe I should add canned tomatoes based on these responses. Ultimate slop bowl Hardo Intern
+1 Been discussed to death herehttps://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/investment-banking/wf-vs-jeff Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Wells Fargo 2x transaction volume in M&A over Jefferies, but Jefferies led in M&A fees due to higher volume of smaller deals. Wells has a much better NYC office needless to say. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Leverage levels for service businesses can vary quite a bit depending on service type and recurring share. Investment Manager in Private Credit
+1 probably gonna end going here haha so if u end up at ftp see you there summer after next goldenboy999
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's a breakdown to help you decide between LSE's REEF program and Bayes Business School's Real Estate Investment MSc: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 I’m not sure where you are in terms of life with spouse, house, kids, etc. but if the opportunity is there I’d say do it. You’ll grow more professionally and personally doing something like that on your own. EdMc513
+1 At places like University of Michigan where one top club controls the alumni pipeline it can feel like a gatekeeper, but it still doesn’t decide your outcome by itself. sophiasmith1
+1 It totally sounds like harassment, though for the time being you probably still have no legal "proof".  MMPM
+1 Ditch the MBA for starters. MarcBahamas
+1 Spreading sponsor provided SREOs into specific templates, summarizing thirds or providing a comparison table of the different data points across different reports for the same deal to make sure address, sqft etc. milkyway1420

+1 Trader Joe’s sweet potato gnocchi with butter and sage Sliced cremini mushroom (8 ounces) Pancetta (4 ounces) guyfromct
+1 Off the top of my head, I think Princeton is like the #1 Mfin program in the country. No idea the requirements to get in, but I'd imagine the bar is absurdly high. Same goes for MIT. Substack_Guy
+1 Hey man, it definitely sounds like your antidepressants arent working properly. I think it is time to check in with your psych and therapist. Associate 3 in CorpDev
+1 It’s the nature of LA being spread out and if you’re from the area you know that.. Finding a social circle post-grad, with a demanding job, and no existing friends / family is a tough ask. It’s not an easy city like nyc. Bank Slut
+1 I can’t speak on buyside laterals because I don’t know the process, but I do know it will be significantly easier than doing the reverse (LA, nyc, back to LA). Bank Slut
+1 Just reach out and be normal I’ve managed to connect with b school alums in the C suite at F500s. Just email them explain the connection and say you want to hear about their career and experiences. guyfromct
+1 Numbers? I know a thing or two about ass comp? Works at Bank of America Merrill Lynch

+1 Can't speak on the recruiting opportunities, but I grew up in LA, went to undergrad/grad school on the east coast, and love LA so much more. jCRE_1
+1 I agree so why do you have to be racist. Asian men don’t get dei benefits or white privilege and we don’t go around blaming less privileged groups. user17367363
+1 go through this post. White women and men are by and large over-represented and major beneficiaries of the system including DEI. Look at the JPM report Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Agree, Wells Fargo apparently poached the Ex CS Head of Cov and Advisory (Malcolm P), Ex CS Head of TMT (Brian G), etc. Associate 1 in IB-M&A

+1 Sheesh. dckogdyioo
+1 You automatically get a 2-year visa if you graduate from any British uni, so a European doing a masters in the UK would have no legal hurdles breaking into London. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Brian is an absolute beauty Intern in IB - Gen
+1 This has been done to death, ad nauseam, on this sub (OP, please search in the threads). Developer in RE - Comm saved you from having to do the search, and is 100% correct.  Assist. VP in IB - Gen
+1 We did due diligence on Banner Ridge in 2025 and ultimately came in as an LP in their new fund. The partners didn't take any money out of the business from the Investcorp GP stake. Jon Glass

+1 Better as in more rewarding or better as in objectively better for your career? (Genuinely asking because I can see both sides) Le_Monkey
