+1 Any insights on Jefferies London ? RecruitingintoIB
+1 FSG’s class is tiny — I think ~5–7 interns most years — so you naturally get a ton of reps. Chimp444
+1 You’d be surprised a difference in what a good personality has, and arguably more important than 100% technicals. sol42
+1 worked for a director w/ a stuter. he still crushes it. keep going.. own it Director in S&T - Other
+1 Mate when r we hearing back after R3 for NYC Monke345
+1 Has anyone done R1 for ECM but still not heard back? I did mine almost a month ago.. anon5106
+1 I was only ranking the Coverage/M&A placement track for incoming interns, which LevFin isn’t part of — believe it’s now grouped with capital markets like DCM/ECM. Chimp444
+1 just be good at the game. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 if you're at a target you'll end up somewhere. 1. just be personable. 2. play the numbers game and apply everywhere. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 More competetive versus a undergrad student MAYBE (what about the UG who got into IB right out of school), it is merely a chance at re-recruiting. Salary ranges are pretty standardized, especially in IB. hutcointraders
+1 I’m an MBA Associate at a top BB or (GS/MS) and all of us but two here work in the trenches with our analysts. Aso-1
+1 EVR M&A - ASSO3 --> ASSO4  Base: 225K --> 250K, Bonus: 285K (top bucket) Total comp: $510K Associate_123
+1 Right, I shouldn't care what the bill is if it's not coming out of my personal wallet. What a ridiculous take VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Seriously guys, enough is enough!  END THIS RHETORIC NOW CharlesCheese
+1 miracle1111 made a lot of really great points. And I agree generally with him. I think the most important thing you can do is have a mental checklist of red flags and green flags. usernameladiesman217
+1 The asset owner/allocator space varies in terms of quality (education + comp.). To put myself as a datapoint, currently in a LCOL city at a well-known FO. Base $150k, with bonus that gets me to just right under $200k. gullible
+1 GCM has many groups and exits are very group specific. ECM/DCM gets exits to IR roles, but sometimes you might get a capmarkets role at an alternative investment firm (like ECM at Blue Owl or Apollo). helpiamstuck123
+1 fake and gay  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Brand and comp vs certainty of progression. If you want optionality and bigger future paydays/exits, go MF. If you want a predictable timeline and less ambiguity, stay. Not a right answer just what matters most to you. bobybryan
+1 When did you do yours? chimp125
+1 Not sure why no one is saying luck. At a hard target, and can confidently say there are far fewer offers than qualified candidates. randomname2
+1 Honestly, both are solid. HL top group will likely look great on your CV and give you exposure to marquee deals. wirkutskijkarl
+1 bump! gojosatoru
+1 Respectfully, 300 emails is low. If you really want to break into the industry, send 100 emails a week for the next few months. Also, stop emailing VPs or Directors. randomname2
+1 I would take Hl. Look at return offer rates if you are that torn. Congrats! randomname2
+1 substantial amount of your career, particularly as a junior, is out of your control. Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 After reviewing all of the incel cringey comments reeking of toxic masculinity, it is confirmed that indeed all men are gay. I wonder what your mothers would think of the way you all speak. Fuckin embarrassing. IRR you ready to rumble
+1 Why would they have a sourcing advantage? I met with them and they felt like carbon copy of my JAMMBO. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Congrats on virgin Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Unless HL RX NYC, then go Greenhill all day. Better exits, culture, lifestyle, RO rate. No brainer. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Can completely relate to this post and I think this is very transparent - I go to a solid target with a phenomenal freshman internship on my resume (T10 hedge fund). bankersheep617
+1 What do we do Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Never been, but make sure your less endowed friends compare prices of flying to Malta vs. flying to the major European cities. CRE

+1 Prospect in IB - CovWhat are exits? Nubml
+1 Sponsoring at the analyst level has been cooked for the past few years it’s just now becoming more public. H1B is not cooked. TN is harder now. Evercore got caught. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 vibe code an email sender, can start sending 2-5k emails a week till u basically run out of emails. Then send follow ups. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I don’t understand how you could be a HYS with a low income background and have crippling student debt, thought they all had pretty generous financial aid for low income students Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Congrats on Mizuho! Intern in IB - Gen
+1 The MBA Associate process will consist of behavioral and technical questions, with no modeling. You will need to be able to do quick math, and usually pen/paper are acceptable for harder valuation/M&A math questions. leopoldIPO
+1 bump Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 At a BB in London and quite a lot of the new analysts (usually European) are 24/25/26. You’re fine Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 Any idea what's going on with the NYC IB recruiting process? Are more waves coming out?  IceCreamCake
+1 Did anyone who had GS SPD Yday hear back? bvabcd123
+1 Update: I have come to realize that even the hiring managers themselves are human. So they probably themselves don't know what you are actually capable of.  rm5339
+1 Imma level with you, I was A1 bottom bucket with PWP in 2020 and I got $65k jesus you're getting hosed.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Honestly, it's group dependent. We don't usually splurge for bottle service and so clubs aren't that important for us. Hell, some people on the team don't even drink. FiloPastry
+1 I'd probably stay if you are sure you are getting the promotion and leave if not. Getting the SA promote is the biggest difference in this career path early on. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Lol A&M no debate  Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+1 Did some research, looks like last year's Superday was on a Thursday, and offers went out the following Friday. thedogcaller23

+1 friends lmk if anyone hears back from AM public investing spd 2/11 (also anyone know how many ppl they can take historically?) monkeybanana3
+1 I love my $15 Skull Candy buds from CVS ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 I think the most important thing is to never let your age affect your ego or sense of progression. Back when I was an analyst, we had a guy who joined in his 30's (as an analyst) and man he was hungry. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Pick a company from each sector, so Consumer & Retail, TMT, Healthcare and go from there, Walmart / Target, Tesla, Netflix, Amazon. sol42
+1 you're an intern, nobody will care because nobody genuinely thinks you're a major contributor/doing anything of consequence to the operations of the fund lol unless it's literally Bernie Madoff, you'll be fine PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Yes, friend got r1 chirpmonkey
+1 if you want a real answer literally 90% of people on calls use some variation of Airpods / Airpods Pro bob6764

+1 No joke look at the epstein emails. He was doing some great macro trades Pulisic69
+1 Started as an An1 at 25 because studies take a lot of time in Europe, and most of my analyst class was around that age too. You're completely fine Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+1 Nailed it Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Absolutely no value. Vista loves them and I know a few kids at my top group that got eliminated in the associate process in the CCAT / personality test round. So dumb. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 No not yet. By any chance have you completed your interview? aakash_maskara
+1 Sure thing. Yeah my FT SD was 8 people and 2 offers. My assumption is they’ll do the same for you as they will host multiple super days. But 25% is still great odds and maybe it’s higher.  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 How can a firm be high stress but no deal flow? What are you actually doing all day and what makes the culture so rough? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Send it to the client SomeCaliberTalent
+1 Oh, and very rarely do I work after I leave the office. The furthest it'll go is an hour of work on the weekends at most, and some email-checking in the evenings. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Not an insider but today I just saw over LinkedIn that another guy/girl started in this team at the London office. :P Prospect in Research - Other
+1 Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all my questions. They were very helpful in crafting the trajectory of my life. I don't want to take more of your time, but these would help me a lot too. mahsocialside
+1 Congratulations on the success – I know how hard it is to build from scratch (obviously anecdotally). brorangatan
