Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+7 It’s funny because their entire goal is to become Barclays (sixth). It’s like the entire bank is built on the rage that one banker had in not getting promoted at Barclays Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+7 Next 2 years will look a lot like the last 2 years Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+7 I think wealth inequality widening is already growing and AI is going to increase that.  And catching up will be harder and harder.  Public companies will cut costs (labor). odog @digitalimmortality.com
+7 Associate 2 in PE - LBOsHeadline: “Aspiring Young ETA Executive Finds Business with Ample Growth Opportunities. One Problem: It Doesn’t Make Money…” luke8
+7 Fair enough - I get it, and know from experience that parental expectations aren't easy to deal with. But it's worth remembering that ultimately you have one life, you have to life it for yourself. falconeagle
+7 The thing I always found funny about pitch books is, as someone who has spent almost my entire career on the receiving ends of those pitches, we never need more than 3 pages to know if a pitch is worth seriously doing work jl12
+7 Keep doing you playa! Tell that bih cool off in the other room you got real shit to do (can we add spacer columns on the sens table? looks crowded. tx)  zed12
+7 Hi OP - sorry to hear you're in this situation, as someone who has been through something very similar I know it seriously sucks. falconeagle
+7 Trying to take these one by one: PE-biz-dev
+7 GS under Blankfein Gamer_Gravel
+7 What’s even more pathetic is this non-stop campaign of yours is either some mental release or trying to sway where college kids go. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+7 "Math mindset" almost certainly helps. For example, when you play poker, you don't do anything more than basic probability, but a good poker player will generally have good comfort with numbers. Prospect in S&T - FI
+7 FWIW, I am 4 years into the job and and 90% of the time, things will always take longer than what a superior expects. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+7 No, nobody said you’re an Andrew Tate. But you write and sound like a mega incel who hasn’t touched a woman since covid, so there’s that Benson Says
+7 The current administration can’t even rationalize this illegal act of war so the fact that some people on here think they can is hysterical. IRR you ready to rumble
+7 once you reach a certain level in technicals, the marginal benefit isn't huge, while there is no such drop off for networking. but make sure you reach this level as quickly as possible.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 Don't think any MFs are "underrated" per say UMM (depending on how you define it): AIP, KPS, TJC Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+7 Congrats on discovering ChatGPT! Tbh, I don't think you are convincing anyone of anything. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 This reads less like analysis and more like a Reddit prophecy thread. WSOBURNER69
+7 no one is taking any of those over ubs or db monkeybiz117
+7 This one might be an interesting. Tanno
+7 Sorry about your losses.  I'd say business school is going to be your best bet. You have a compelling story. PaulAllenIsInLondon
+7 One of the important topics to address early is choosing meaningful extracurriculars.  Sometimes, taking the right steps years in advance allows you to have a much larger impact than if you started those activiti David White
+7 I don't think I've ever had a coffee chat where I expected a freshman/sophomore to be an expert. Quite the opposite. What I look for is passion and curiosity. usernameladiesman217
+7 Sorry, but agree that you will probably quit soon.   oil_quant
+7 Really agreed on the trader title not meaning much in a lot of cases. Plenty of senior traders don’t make a bonus, don’t actually trade their own views, make less than associates at a bank. oil_quant

+7 DEI is a good idea, terrible implementation.  usernameladiesman217

+7 A couple weeks before Thanksgiving, I guess that’s not a thing for the Swiss Intern in IB - Gen
+7 Objectively almost every single hire was a miss. I don’t know how you honestly can miss that often if you are objectively evaluating potential MD candidates in the interview process Managing Director in IB - Gen
+7 IB very underrated career path if you are wiling to swallow pride. Same or better pay than PE esp if your fund returns aren’t amazing and more stable than HF. Plus generally more enjoyable co workers than PE hardos midwest_analyst
+7 In the eyes of MAGAs, if you are a woman or a person of color, but you do not support Trump, then you are a diversity hire. If you are a white male and do not support Trump, then you are a libtard. anon1019
+7 Apples to oranges. Investment professionals get a grant once per fund (sometimes you can get jump ball carry on top if you’re well liked) while non-IPs receive an annual allocation. Ravena
+7 Aren't you also one of the anti-UBS posters? Y'all really love spreading anti-UBS propaganda after you got laid off, huh. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+7 Lol. Unreal ego, someone was receptive to your call that’s why you’re an Analyst today. Some fool will climb become too big and look for way to destroy the ladder davani1420
+7 Hey dipshit, solid reasoning dantheman_1_01_01
+7 Yes, 100%. The drain of walking into an office with people you are fundamentally misaligned with is difficult to convey. I am learning real skills and having to think critically. FundingSecured
+7 I think you are missing the general purpose and reason why an IB analyst is necessary. The reason why IMO Ai won't takeover analysts is that a huge part of the job is to develop the skill set to move up to associate/VP. Recruiter in CorpStrat
+7 This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read on WSO. Let that sink in.  Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+7 Do you have like an auto prompt to chat gpt to rephrase the same thing once a week? Associate 1 in PE - Growth

+7 SAAR Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 The problem is that by asking this very question, you kind of prove the entirety of your knowledge or at least your limitations. Fred Fredburger
+7 If you genuinely hold religious beliefs, banks will respect it. Especially if you are actually good at your job. jl12
+7 Think about AI risk, easy choice CQ2
+7 Again coming from the guy who will always be bottom ranked professionally… I wouldn’t take league table comments too seriously…banks move up and down you are destined for a squigee and plunger my friend…we all play our par Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+7 There are other roles at these megafunds but the reality is 75% have 2-3 years before doing something else. Ravena
+7 Congrats on UBS!  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+7 Love these takes and guys who have them (have a banana!). Makes me realize I actually know a lot more about real estate than others, and have a future in the industry.  asmith_1
+7 Touched a nerve…haha your mom said it’s time for bed son. Please don’t make her take your computer away again. Maybe tomorrow we start looking for that job? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+7 Bunch of cheap bastards who charge analysts to use the fucking gym  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+7 Academy side is a joke - been through it and friends from above and below batches agree Intern in IB - Gen
+7 . Analyst 2 in HF - EquityHedge
+7 All grads there are into that whole Yale thing Dazzling-External-29
+7 Will layoffs target Americans over H1Bs?  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+7 Pendelum swings back and forth, and at the receiving end of it are always those without power. Funny how that works. Companies appease government policy across countries and across policies. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 Wait till he finds out the average buysider doesn't even come close to beating the SPX either. MMPM
+7 Seems like there's 2 different broad questions here. xxx-ThrowAway-xxx
+7 . Intern in VC
+7 Rough reasoning for start and leaving are below. I’m not giving details because people doxxed me a couple years back through connecting posts: Principal in PE - Growth
+7 Given uncertainties around H1Bs have heard they will be prioritized during the layoffs Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 Not to be nit picky but Kroll is hardly “squarely in the middle market”, it’s lower lower middle market at best. Accurate characterization makes a difference. VP in IB-M&A
+7 I think the catch-all term of IOS is really just a way to further bifurcate the industrial space; I've seen truck parking and laydown yards called IOS like you mention, but also sites that have a low site coverage warehous kylejackson
+7 lol wtf did britain do in ww2 other than get bailed out by the United States?  equitymuncher
+7 usernameanon VP in PE - Other
+7 Marco better hide his wife! Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+7 From the perspective of a 1st year A2A at a bank (arguably EB, probably not always considered EB on this site) with a 3yr analyst program. Really the biggest thing is effort for me. PlzFixThx
+7 Feel this majorly. Been in M&A for 5 years and feel completely empty lately. Merppp
+7 go to therapy and stop playing zero sum status gamesyou will be happier (and likely richer) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+7 Again lacking the courage to admit that overwhelming majority of DEI seats are allocated to women, in particular white, and instead redirecting the conversation towards skin color to insinuate that PoC benefit from DEI. Director in IB - Cov
+7 R1 techs typically cover basic misdirection/slight of hand (think french drop, dissapearing nose, candy behind the ear) ILOVEBANANAS123
+7 Economically - top bucket is not with it as an analyst or associate. You put in 50% more effort for a bonus that is 15-20% higher than a mid bucket performer. bluecollarfinanceguy
+7 All banks (not just UBS) love to hire internationals because they know they’re essentially trapped there and the banks can pay & treat them like dirt, making the culture worse for everyone VP in IB - Gen
+7 don’t worry about it - if it ever comes up explain calmly what happened, it was borderline and you thought it was okay, you were wrong, nothing bad happened thankfully but you’ve learned your lesson and are religiously car Partner in PE - LBOs
+7 My 2c - grass isn't always greener. SaaSChimp
+7 Congrats on UBS! Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+7 Type of moral leadership UBS is currently under Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 Source: https://nypost.com/2010/06/25/deutsche-treat/ Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+7 Not going away entirely, but as transaction sizes and company scales increase, they become harder to find as the market is more "efficient." VP in PE - Growth
+7 DK is not good, not familiar with Baupost, Elliott I know well. I don’t think Elliott is a good seat, maybe 10 years ago it was. Elliott might have the largest delta between perception on this forum v actual seat quality. Analyst 3+ in HF - Other
+7 I'd much rather chill but then the kid who spends all day in the library is gonna get the job and I'm gonna be out on the street Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+7 What are you even talking about? What does any of this have to do with maga or dei. Use your brain instead of letting it fill with the molten puss and shit currently floating around in politics and media. Principal in PE - LBOs
+7 I think everyone just spams upvotes to give visibility to threads  Intern in IB - Gen
+7 Ling is a woman dawg ubersomesam

+7 Corporate development jobs at mining companies in Mali and the DRC jp222
+7 But what Am I goING to DOOo Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 I’m so confused by the advice above. You’re highly qualified and should fit in nicely for SA/VP opportunities. Your corp dev experience is just bonus. SaaSChimp
+7 It's the networking ones. overandout
+7 I've worked at a couple of the multimanagers.  sick_willy
+7 I agree with the above. Im now in a 4th yr assoc position and getting promoted later this year so fortunate to have associates beneath me on almost all of my work. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+7 Dad is a MD at a top EB (yes I know I am a nepo baby), and I asked him this before I even started. Obviously one person’s view, but he’s been doing this for decades. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 I didn’t quit finance so to say—but I did pick the most hilariously unfortunate time to go out on my own.  Plenty of time to myself these days twiddling my thumbs.  CRE
+7 RBC NYC Anal 1 $65k I think top? But not sure The whole group knew I was willing to suck dick for this job (or for pleasure) Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+7 "Code Brown"  im not very creative
