Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 There are loads of 15 year olds out there if you're into that Sharky286
+1 Brand matters, but so do reps. If you’re at a platform where half your “live deals” never close, the logo only carries you so far. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 Jeff is solid, but I'd go A&M any day of the year if I wanted to be / stay in SS / RX Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Heard NY is a sweat fest Intern in IB - Gen
+1 PJT Intern in IB - Gen
+1 No but chewing mastic builds masseter muscle mass which helps facial definition. As someone who munches on equity you should be familiar with the effects of chewmaxxing plzgivemeajob
+1 Came from a similar school with great culture. I'd say give a chance at transferring from Babson. The network and pedigree does matter in high finance. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Starboard breakdown of Darden is a classic. Determined
+1 There is broad bifurcation in the MM world. Even in the challenged fundraising enviornment from 2023 onwards, some MM funds have massively scaled or raised huge first or second time funds. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Moreso two sides of the same coin, there is overlap Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 PJT probably will provide a slightly more enjoyable analyst experience but I'd be tempted to go Evercore M&A. Both great and congratulations leefbmp
+1 List above is US-based client for 2025/2026. Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 If it’s a BB in NYC then you literally have your answer. BB in NYC>any MM yummyyummy
+1 All the BBs are global. Depends on what your future goals are and if you connected rly well with all the people at the MM ig it could go either way but vast majority of the time, the BB is the way to go. yummyyummy
+1 Don't lose hope brother. MM's can recruit all the way until the fall before the summer internship. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 bump WaltSim
+1 Most PhDs don't have finance experience before pivoting..they lean on their scientific expertise and learn the business side through MBA programs, post-PhD internships at banks/ER firms, or biotech consulting roles. pharmacoach
+1 Don’t be a pussy. Take both and reneg. Who gives af. Say your family member died if you really care about optics and not burning bridges. The game is the game. chadmaxxer
+1 thanks! Kinda briefly discussed comp expectation but only base... unsure about bonus etc...  Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 Agreed this guy sounds like an insufferable hardo to work for apetrynamakeit
+1 Lots of Emory Oxford students get great investment banking offers. I’ve hired students myself (JEF/GHL/HL). I’ve seen students in recent years go to (EVR/JPM/GUG). Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 you apply the moment it opens up. To know when it opens up, subscribe to their newsletters/talent networks, be in touch with the recruiters and alumni. recreational.ears
+1 Alix is there, look at Tier 2. PWP I didn't know what to put as, haven't heard enough about them to put a little blurb ailyn
+1 Using it to pay taxes. Nice try, IRS.  thisisanexampleofausername
+1 Same here, referral that pushes 2 kids per year to superday (non-target), heard nothing for r1 nyc after HV as well bgrantp
+1 Agreed. But most miss that these schools have placed well for years due to proximity to Manhattan. rolo25
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - CovHeard DB culture is great in SF, and my friend said they’re hiring aggressively at senior level for tech group. roamingroman
+1 curious_cookiejust had my R1 today~ Which position did you apply? hahshshshsh
+1 Putting ducera on but not PWP is a decision of all time Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I've seen a shift of some people going back into banking to their old groups or more targeted products / groups since they are more aware of what they actually want to do (easier to figure that out at 26 post associate sti Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 FSUs Noles on Wall Street / Willow Partners club has been crushing it this year with several top EB placements. incoming_unemployed
+1 Put it all in SPY and forget about it. I save like ~20% of my base and save all my bonus. Still make ample money to do whatever I want including various trips a year. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Definitely not a place for the faint of heart given the nature of their investing. Like to turnaround messy situations and have seen them act as stalking horse on a few bankruptcy deals. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Even if live deals brought to market don’t close, you’re saying there’s zero exposure to buyside or sell side mandates? What exactly are you doing all day? Creating pitch decks and posting on WSO? VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Been eyeing a pair of Loro Piana summer walks. Some money to my parents; they don't need it but it makes me happy. neil88
+1 Bump thelegend272829
+1 As stated not giving actual reccomendations as not familar with all the names on the list. Just asked GPT for names and posted it to start a convo. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Agreed and the guys throwing MS at this know nothing. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Yo this actually sounds like the worst job in the world  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Evercore is massive, pretty sure their intern classes are like 80 people. They’re also expanding into ER, WM, etc. Probably what they meant by “Evercore is a BB” Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 A&M>>>>>>> FTI Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+1 I’ll also add that I’d take the ECM EB for junior summer (assuming you can successfully recruit FT) because the brand name is strong. CuriousGeorge1024
+1 gg queue next lifetime buddy chadmaxxer
+1 I’ve seen several decent FSU & ASU placements on LinkedIn Summer Associate in HF - Event
+1 Pretty much echoing the above, plus Evercore has been hiring tons of non-targets and increasing their analyst size. Sure, not a BB technically, but the trajectory they're on, they will inevitably become one.  Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Likely structured as preferred / hybrid equity with priority cash flows, distribution sweeps in early years, and structural downside protections. Think KKR / Norfolk is similar. infravc
+1 There is very little value in trying to build connections in PE or Corporate Finance first and then transition into Wealth Management. Wealth Management is deeply personal. In many ways, it is better to build from cold. RedChamps
+1 Industrials #1 team within the bank in term of fees generated in 2025, but very sweaty team Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I love ubs Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+1 The elite boutiques you mentioned do not offer true ECM (which, from both a technical and regulatory standpoint, can only be provided by banks), but rather ECM Advisory. Frankfurt Monkey
+1 I have only seen it from the sidelines, so take this with a grain of salt: the relationship with the entrepreneur behind it is absolutely everything. FailedInFinance
+1 Was told more rd 1s coming soon. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 anyone know anything to the CIB/CB timline in CLT/NYC? non-target Intern in ER
+1 When I lateraled in banking I surprisingly got good traction from applying to roles on bank career pages / linkedin. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 Kids from alternative study paths at top schools don't deserve the seat? Maybe you should realize that they already did land a fucking seat. At a top school. smolchimp
+1 This is why fund/pm matter so much. If you are under a stable PM and strategy life is great. If you are at a pod with high volatility, then its extreme highs and lows. Analyst 1 in HF - RelVal
+1 I'm in favor of looking out for one's own best interest, but this is not a situation to accept two offers to renege. Take the IB job and reject the consulting gig up-front. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah it feels like a blood bath in the tech industry right now. Although I dislike my tech consulting job, I can't deny the fact I likely have better job security than most. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Imagine every dollar you have is about to get tied up in this deal and also every dollar your parents have and that if the deal goes bad they won’t be able to retire or move into a nice old folks home. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 WF CLT is paradise Intern in IB - Gen
+1 That sounds like rewriting history. The transformer was literally invented at Google, I don't know what part of their strengths in AI was hidden. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Wrong. It’s all for league table appearance. Go ask someone on the deal team. Ion26
+1 MF PE I think gives you better HF opportunities. I did not do HF recruiting, so not super familar. The downside of the MM path is that it's very hard to know what firms will keep growing. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Questions been asked a million times here. Always take an offer and renege if you have to. You're an entry level candidate nobody's going to bat an eye. Trader in S&T - Comm
+1 I liked the MD I worked most closely with and would absolutely send them deals if I were ever in a position to do so. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 $35 meal stipend after 8pm but can order at 6pm the earliest Ubers comped past 10pm Free swag items from EVR shop (vouchers given during training) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 No use burning a bridge or being passive aggressive. You don't need to be best friends with the guy but you never know when the tables might turn and he could be helpful to you at some point. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Both very respected, but PEPI is by far stronger for ops exits. Jeff IB is obviously much better suited for investing exits. You will make great connections at both. In terms of optionality, both give you different types. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 will mm/lmm pe also grant decent HF opportunities? WaltSim
+1 Congrats on UBS TMT! Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I think I’m misunderstanding how the CRE CLO is set up. It wouldn’t be up to the Special Servicer in this instance but the B-Note holder since they are the DCH / CCR. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Congrats on Corp Banking lol comp is garbage and the best exit is Burger King summer analyst Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Go to Lazard… BofA has terrible group placement and bad pay. As a HYPSW graduate, we used to make fun of kids going to BofA. Current MD at EB, think about your career. Mashallw
+1 finally we have someone logical here Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 👍 JP Minion
+1 Power/Utilities still strong. Other than that would go Industrials. Avoid Healthcare, it‘s dead Analyst 3+ in PE - Other
+1 Interested in others' responses here.  VP in RE - Comm
+1 Just look at their stock post Gemini release Partner in PE - LBOs
+1 ^ incoming sa as well also interested Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I agree OP should focus on changing what he/she can and not dwell on past but your characterization of the difference between students at targets vs non-targets is not accurate. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 This is reality for many VP / Principals. A guy I work with was emailing while in the delivery room next to his wife giving birth. Last email I got was ~15 min before the baby was born. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Honestly if you have to ask, spending minimum 8 years for medicine does not seem like the move.  hutcointraders
+1 A model that is logically built, with reasonable assumptions, actually works, is auditable, and I don't have to hear about how sick it is. Five Star Man
+1 I've never been more bearish on office (even when accounting for COVID). Why? Look at the tenant mix of most of these buildings. The tech company? They're getting disrupted. The law firm? goodL1fe
+1 No P&U any more . Yeah HC left to Gugg.  davani1420
+1 Of the folks you view to have had more success and credibility in this model, are they GPs slanted more towards an operating background vs. dealmaking? Or the other way around? TheApatheticAnalyst
+1 We don't have a generalist program in NYC, Boston, or San Francisco. The Analyst and Summer Analyst programs are siloed into dedicated biopharma and healthcare services/MD&D junior teams. Works at Leerink Partners
+1 I have this impression that at lot of PE firms decision making is controlled fairly tightly by a few key decision makers. TheApatheticAnalyst
+1 All this for 20bps of carry Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 You take that back, its 25bps of carry associate schmuck /s VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Will say hours are group dependent - knew someone that worked there and had weeks where he was cranking 90+ hours. Can confirm pay is dog shit Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Bump schmonke
+1 Both ways will be hard since you're going from ops > investing or vice versa, but I'd go out on a limb and say Jeff to PEPI is marginally easier than vice versa, mainly because PEPI likes to hire people with prior exper Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 You can get a banking job at colgate and hamilton. I wouldnt go to Hamilton unless you're an athlete. I also wouldn't go to Colgate if you don't envision yourself being in greek life.  Broker in IB - Cov
+1 Is CIBC in waves or is this the only IB interview going out. And was this just for Ivey or for everyone.  Some1O
+1 Top biopharma group on the street. You’ll get worked like few other banks though Analysts get worked and Associates still get cranked and routinely up past 2am Works at Goldman Sachs
+1 option A depending on your age (assuming mid 20s) guarantees you a upper-middle class lifestyle for life with pretty low risk, depends if you have any ambitions beyond that esdeekid67
+1 received r1 for cb TTMog
+1 Amherst College Fin Aid Bowdoin College Fin Aid Brown University Full Carnegie Mellon University Full Columbia University Full NFazem
+1 You don't see them as much as ND/UVA/UMich because those schools have tens of thousands of students and a school like Hamilton has sub-2000... Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
