+1 WF - growing platform. Great comp. Good hours & people. Insane office. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 FreightWaves is a good newsletter to stay on top of it. mightywall25
+1 I love this site Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 has anyone heard back yet?  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 go for a suit jacket / sport coat. No tie, undo buttons on shirt. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 UBS i cant believe this echo chamber of prospects/interns has gone far enough for people to advocate taking random MM bucket shops over a BB. jewslayer1944
+1 I know it wasn't BSL, but OneStream and CWA both priced pretty well as club deals. Relatively low LTV and the fundamentals are performing fine despite market screaming that the sky is falling.  kuf135
+1 It happens when the analyst is basically running risk, not just supporting. Hanlon
+1 it was sarcasm, im saying they hate it Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 1) liking men is gay 2) women like men 3) women are gay 4) dating women is gay Sir Desmond Glazebrook
+1 Sadly, many people will cling to racist narratives of black people being inferior. I hope for whoever’s sake this is, that they are the son of an MD. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I think I am going to be jobless, but not before many others. rexared
+1 You’re seeing a mix of systemic issues and individual bad actors. Gig-economy services like DoorDash or Wayfair rely on volume, which sometimes sacrifices attention to detail. bobybryan
+1 That might be true. However, once you separate it by income and area code, everyone converges around the same. You appear to be falling victim to the fallacy of correlation and causation. DonDylan
+1 Okay? Who the fuck cares lmao op is asking about DC vs NY. This is a no brainer, you wells shills would tell kids to take wells Charlotte over GS TMT lmfao Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 Full-times, can you chime in? Intern in IB - Cov
+1 In the similar boat but for HK SA Gainone1572
+1 I think a lot of juniors have this glamorized idea of how mentorship should go. That there is supposed to be some figure that you can latch onto in your group or firm and it will accelerate your growth. PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+1 Others shared general postulations, so I'll share some anecdotal experiences on my end with some reaffirming yours: VP in Consulting
+1 Currently work in operations, but have an opportunity to go to FIG. Come from a non-target, have always been interested in IB, but too much time has passed to enter GTP. Operations is a total drag. charliejohn01
+1 So now what? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 AFAIK, there isn't a set timeline for making jumps - People make a jump whenever they feel the need and / or have enough reps in (i.e. as short as 1 year to no upper bound). VP in Consulting
+1 Would it be as an analyst? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 thanks for responding. what would you say is a more realistic target if I'm interning at a smaller group? tiers 6/7? or should I just return and apply as an associate? itswayeasy
+1 WF interns feeling the pain GS interns have had forever. Wish NY was like CA in banning this penny pinching move Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 I just started a couple months ago in a non top-6 rx consulting firm and haven't gotten inbounds from headhunters at all...am I doing something wrong lol? Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 I basically agree with all of your logic, especially if maximizing cash comp in the near/medium term before dipping for a family is the plan (presumably making exit ops a bit less of a priority). Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Confirming this is the case with no changes. Shame the kid I helped out will likely be reneging now. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Would just add to what others have stated (which is very accurate imo) that, while I’ve also heard the BOS office has a leg up in that they win much larger and more significant Debtor side mandates, I also know that credit rolo25
+1 Anyone heard anything for PB and AM? CJinguun16
+1 I’d probably say the best feeders into IB/PE are TAS/RX advisory. In M&A, there will be no threshold where an offer in RX consulting is beating an offer in IB, unless it’s a 1 MD shop in greater Chattanooga. DCFMonkee
+1 Real response here is get the sony over ears -  sony wh-1000xm6. Best in class noise cancellation and call quality with no background noise. I have the xm5s and these are the newer ones. Raijin
+1 For me It’s because i just get along so much more with other Europeans (esp. italians as an Italian). Our culture is very different from British culture and I quite struggle to bond with English people Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 it’s a Superday for both IB and CB candidates schmonke
+1 Awesome, thanks nontargetmonkay
+1 3x / 1 month then to 1x / 1-2 months now. VP in Consulting
+1 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Varies case by case. Looking to exit post-analyst years to PE / HF / CorpDev? Your analyst firm will play a role in how your recruitment processes shake out. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 your misunderstanding the term "generalist" i think. Normally, that means your still in M&A but not with a specific team... like you will work with different M&A industries throughout your time. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 From my understanding, it looks like for some of these banks, you are interviewing under a general umbrella of “investment banking”, which describes it as interns receiving the offer and afterwards networking into whether moneymilken
+1 Market volatility destroys M&A & IPO deal flow but encourages cap market activity (refis, follow on, etc.). Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Second comment in this thread recently saying how  analyst can generate 8 figures and  calling out numbers that do not generate 8 figures. qnt12345
+1 I’m a banker it’s my job to always spin it as a positive thing ;), nonetheless that’s good nuance. liquidiot
+1 P sure Thursday of next week newyorkfatrat
+1 BYU grad and ex-BB IB placement here. Associate 2 in PE - Growth
+1 Holy shit, can they please release results already, it’s been a week Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 By the way I think I came to the answer. It’s 1000% worth it to both set these calls up and ask/show interest about the summer 2027 internship. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 The loudest people in the group chat are usually the worst analysts on the desk. Focus on your finals. Once those are done, you can catch up on the technicals in like 3 days if you’re smart about it. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 DM me, I know both well jjywm
+1 From what I've heard about other CB firms (source: talked with an analyst on WF CB), techs would be mostly basic accounting (how the three financial statements connect, how a change in depreciation affects the three statem Prospect in CB
+1 mon Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Did both unis, would tend towards HEC to be honest. You will likely find a Summer in Sept with HEC if you have a decent CV, so no need for a second try one year later. jjywm
+1 First of all thanks for responding. Wow so you did HSG bachelor + HEC MIF. Actually the dream combo. Congrats! When you say I can secure a summer internship with HEC, are you thinking Zurich or London? BiggestMonkey21
+1 BUUUUUUMMMMMMPPPPP Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Congrat! What's the program you applied to? Also, can I DM you for a bit questions? Thank you! WeiLeqian
+1 Anybody hear back / know anything about the Global Technology Program (27 summer)? Seems like a new program, no info on the Internet. WeiLeqian
+1 Not the bank cibc-CIB is just a division banks have for corporate and institutional banking gejjl
+1 Is it all of BB IB or some groups only? Like would someone from a non GIG/Levfin group at UBS have the same ease / be viewed the same as someone from PJT RSSG to get into distressed PE, based off this? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 If not going for a PhD, your best option is the Quant Trading job at a prop trading firm. Try to avoid the market making side and aim to get placed on a slower team if you eventually want to move to a hedge fund.  PM in HF - Other
+1 Did you do your SD today or yesterday? DungeonMaster
+1 Anyone from PFG heard back after 2nd round? aggihc
+1 Agreed with the prior comments. These people are trying to flaunt their preparation as a way to cope for them feeling nervous and underprepared. Dolla Bill Stern
+1 blessed with an insightful comment from Isaiah. I agree.  hutcointraders
+1 Does most of your analyst class come from Stern? wuandale33
+1 As someone who worked in IB, Corp dev, and PE, I’d recommend you to do IB to star your career. Lots to learn and friends to make Green Zeus
+1 Doesn’t hurt to catch up imo. You can mention you landed an offer if you are concerned about the optics Green Zeus
+1 Scotia NY lost all relationship managers in a year and currently has no senior banker on that team Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Joined MMHF directly from IB. I don’t think PE would have given me any marginal benefit into public markets investing given they really are quite different. beethovenvirus
+1 Do you log back on from home? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Just got one for next week today mrninjadood
+1 agreed - ik thats my plan as well can never hurt to know people. just make sure you stay in touch with your contacts here and there evzieailwkdo
+1 A lot of bitching and crying by femcels today on LinkedIn over GS’ decision. Now you know all of them are DEI Beckies, right from 22yr old to 60yr old grandma in C-suite. They hate men and pitch white men vs. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 fuku Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 .. starwars1234
+1 to be brutally honest, I've seen a lot of people of a particular race that abused this power over the past few years and believe it or not, some of them go to an Ivy league school who end up applying for IB SAs. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 PU&I co-head Andrew Rosenbaum seems like a nice guy; came to my school a few times for recruiting events and coffee chats in the past 6mo. I've spoken with him 1:1 or in small groups for at least 45min total. Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+1 Canadian at mbb Chicago. Chicago is a much bigger office and given you are already at Kellogg/Booth, it makes a lot of sense to recruit Chicago and get a US salary. You can always move back to Toronto later. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 port ops is important. and honestly depending on what role you really could move to asset management or if its loan portfolios, underwriting. fuku
+1 I feel like this is pretty common? Especially if they are taking freshmen/sophomores who otherwise would have a hard time finding summer internships. apetrynamakeit
+1 You only made $30k less than MM first year associates at your old office. Probably for the best that you didn’t ask to come back after your offer got rescinded Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 ranking MBB is crazy ranking Bain as #1 is even crazier putting S& and EYP so high is just as crazy Prospect in Consulting
+1 Holy cow, the placement does seem to be way better than reported. Vanderbilt looks to be on a huge upward trajectory, especially with the new NYC campus. blackbird_
+1 Probably cultural fit and motivation: tell me about yourself, why are you studying x, why real estate, why did you reach out to this firm, any deals interest you, (soft technical) what sector would you invest in right now. Investment Analyst in PE - Other
+1 Wells . id only take DB if it was LevFin  Analyst 1 in IB - DCM
+1 40 hour work weeks unpaid? All of my internships prior to landing my junior SA have been paid, doing all that for free is insane invessttr
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know: MF PE Analyst Recruiting Timeline: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Just keep grinding. I know it sounds too simple to be true but if you’ve done everything right or are just unlucky keep playing the numbers game. I was in a worse position than you before I landed my BB offer. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Here’s what high performers in finance have shared about building structure and maintaining productivity while working remotely or in a hybrid setup: Create a Physical Workspace: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 What is CIM?What is their source of capital? Particularly interested in their real estate business. Raising from HNW/ insurance/ pension plans?? What’s their NYC office culture? Gordon_C
+1 TD above BMO lol, congrats on TD! esdeekid67
+1 I’ve heard anecdotally that you hit a mil at the top LO AM (capital, t Rowe, Fido, Wellington) year 5 post mba, and that you tap out as a career analyst closer to 1.5mil. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 You could probably apply for S&T summers nutmegger189
+1 What about ESE AND EUR ( Erasmus school of economics and Erasmus University Rotterdam)?  rayyanmohd
+1 Hey, thanks for your response.  SaintK
+1 LBS by far is the best option, as long as you actually make the most of it (network like crazy). Investment Analyst in PE - LBOs
+1 I wouldn't worry too much, I'm at a similar shop. VP in Consulting
+1 is it technicals or you’re just a bot or? fknq
+1 I don't think Altman Solomon / ClearView are comparable to the rest of your list since they're very industry specific.  Business School in CorpStrat
+1 If you have any inklings of wanting to make a career in IB, the exposure to a suite of products* (thanks ANL1) at a BB will set you up much better. Associate 1 in PE - Other
