+1 I've heard apps open this fall, not sure on the exact date though tx.re

+1 what position is this for? ecm? or something different? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 those would be the firms that actually know what they're doing. As we're seeing, it's possible to raise billions of dollars while having terrible mid level folks. And then some senior folks. 1AB

+1 kya baat h crow0982026
+1 Am at a MM. it’s true, but the knife cuts both ways. You get more experience “in the weeds” cutting data, building the model, designing the slides. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 I spoke to them for an open role and their salaries are incredibly low. no wonder their DL team left for Nomura though I would have expected them to reassess their compensation approach by now gtras12
+1 I’ve got a bridge to sell you Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 This sounds Like a porn plot, or is it just me.  faz5346
+1 You worked as a teller. I was literally able to do this whole work at a top 10 bank in commercial banking. Yet you are going to tell me you can’t do this, because again, you worked as a teller. Got it. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Probably, but that’s also where all the best opportunities and innovation is. I also think every role will eventually be what we consider tech to be now. sappy
+1 Of everything I have ever set my eyes on in this wretched site this takes the biscuit moneymaker03
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, there is no specific mention or evidence in the provided context about "Wall Street Discriminates" being a scam or actively deleting stories that don't align with a particular narrati WSO Monkey Bot
+1 This sounds great in paper, but 1) it's much harder to get a VP or senior associate seat at these growing firms, if there is any, as many like to promote from within, 2) you have a lot of internal backers for the future by Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 this is so made up.  are you kidding me?  the guy's wife found out he was cheating and in a moment of panic, he spun up some fantasy of "sex slavery" that has gotten away from him  Cardale Jones

+1 I’m not exactly hearing much reason from you to take Accenture other than brand name. You see to quite clearly prefer the Danish option with reasonable logic behind it. What’s the question here? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 i voted Ross but JHU is strong in VC because a lot of JHU alumni seem to work in biotech VC Ross is better for traditional IB, but JHU isn't bad there if your son can network harder Prospect in Consulting
+1 Hey would love to make an intro if/when you're hiring. Currently an unemployed Sr. Assoc with extensive roll-up strategy experience (market has be so tough to get back in). ezbread
+1 Seems like an enormous stretch to me. One junior employee who happens to be from Saudi Arabia is not going to make any difference (unless you're leaving out that you are the crown prince's son) Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Yeah looks like this is the latest update: h NuclearPenguins
+1 Just search up anyone who was in the March madness fintwit bracket, can’t really go wrong and you’ll also be tapped into interbank gossip like the jpm thing from yesterday. And zerohedge Prospect in S&T - Equities
