+1 Just on BB recruiting -  VP in PE - LBOs

+1 Oh nice! Second year analyst too, at another BB, received an email from lawyers saying will reach out to my manager and me for info to file. But no one has contacted us yet. 62991
+1 Bad culture, meh comp, if you don’t have ties to Newport as others said there’s no point Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+1 What PE funds have the public heard of outside of KKR and Blackstone (often confused for Blackrock)? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+1 This is seriously the craziest thing you’ve ever seen? Not associated with either by any means, but neither WF nor FTI RX are “bad enough” to bat much of an eye at a GHL lateral. rolo25
+1 Don't we want more hard workers though? invessttr
+1 Keep your official major on the resume, and just list the classes under Relevant Coursework. Don’t claim the program if it’s not on your transcript, but it’s totally fine to show you completed the full set of classes. wirkutskijkarl
+1 Thanks for starting the thread! Excited to see everyone’s updates. Good luck to all applying — fingers crossed for R1 → SD! huanlamunov

+1 At the right firms, yes and depends. At firms like A&M/Alix/select few industry-specific boutiques, these are some of the highest paid guys in finance. rolo25
+1 True, but would caveat the FP&A type work by saying that it depends a lot on the firm and engagement details; RX consultants frequently have to do liquidation valuations and 363 sale vals, for purposes of informing the Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Congrats on Stern! Intern in IB - Gen

+1 Those are nepo kids, and they will be just fine without a job too. We are discussing accelerated non-nepo promotions here.  Director in IB - Cov
+1 2nd year in ECM at BB. Would recommend you go coverage. First 6 months it’s exciting but gets so monotonous and mind numbing really fast. All my buddies and myself are actively recruiting out. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Have processes for non-targets started besides for accelerated & diversity? IceCreamCake

+1 240K a year without doing anything? Gang you can chill out for a year or two. Hell I’d work for a on profit or fashion. Do whatever you want. Substack_Guy
+1 Unlikely to be a negative if it doesn’t succeed, but it begs the question why you don’t just start your own fund if you are taking this kind of entrepreneurial effort/risk (unless the founder is legendary). Investment Manager in RE - Comm

+1 It ultimately depends on the firm and your hours, and the sleep you’re willing to sacrifice. Cooking (even if late at night) Reading (later at night) Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 …unfortunately it is not GS. complexdriver
+1 VP in IB-M&A

+1 Pls do not do the leg lengthening thing if that’s the issue war dog

+1 Do not do this. A meth habit would be more intelligent than this fds
+1 Isn't there a dedicated RX group under LevFin? I don't think there is much online but something interesting exists that I think would speak to you.  wetlamplord
+1 Personally I’d do banking first. Developing some fundamental business/finance skills to fall back on if you end up not being cut out for HF. Also SF is ass Broker in IB - Cov
+1 Think might be an issue w HR. People havent heard back after r2 and r3 as well. No clue whats going on. Monke345
+1 If you don't have to, don't take a job just for $... not a common recipe for staying power (or fulfillment). iMamba
