Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 BYU grad and I start my IB internship this summer. This is spot on. Broadly speaking, Mormons love it when others take real interest in and have real appreciation for either the religion or the school. jupiter03
+1 WF is paradise Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I just think they’re screwing the incoming class and it doesn’t make me happy that they waited a year to do it Intern in IB - Gen
+1 What does the associate hiring process look like for MF asia offices? Do they prioritize PE analyst experience, GS/MS HK or BB/EBs in the US for the 2 years? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Prob LO AM but those seats require CFA+MBA and are really rare. wuandale33
+1 I see your point, but do those giants actually have a footprint in CEE? Moelis, Centerview, and Eastdil are major players in London and Paris, but they typically don't look at anything sub-€100m. Rauu44
+1 Investment Analyst in CB CRE
+1 Senior VP in CorpDev Works at Goldman Sachs
+1 Definitely UBS. I think especially since you have a BB offer lined up it would make the most sense to come into your junior summer with some serious experience under your belt. LBOneKenobi
+1 Let me guess - you use the free version of ChatGPT and think it's indicative of the frontier LLM models? Newspeak
+1 If TX value mattered more than avg deal size then EY would beat GUGG and Natixis beats Qatalyst in your twisted schizo scenario. esdeekid67
+1 MM AS2 --> AS3 Base: $200K --> $225K Bonus: $180K All-in Comp: $380K Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I'm going to point / cap. This is insanely accurate. StockEnjoyer
+1 Depends on your allocated commute time. Paddington is a nice place IMO and you should be able to get to the Kingsway campus in under 30 mins. That can also be doable from Maida Vale. stayfrosty1337
+1 A macro / rates pm might look to hire a desk analyst at the 2-5 year mark. iku22
+1 Nah, you're not shit out of luck, or at least not any more than anyone else is. Your background is fine, and sure an MRED/MSRE would help, but the biggest problem is just the market right now. CRE
+1 no, some places will prorate you at 110k or whatever and so you just get paid monthly the same number the analyst is making. Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr
+1 You’ve got the wrong guy bud Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I’m in PE at a MF. Your reasoning makes sense. Senior VP in PE - LBOs
+1 I think the central problem with that idea is that it's starting to look awfully close to communism. neil88
+1 M Klein with 1 deal worth $103bn??? And who tf are redbird advisors Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Bump jkvbdgeorbsn
+1 Following Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 In your view, are companies rewarding or punishing juniors who (ab)use AI too much? Soros_
+1 Pretty sure he meant no tie, top button unbuttoned. Not like a full unbuttoned shirt… CRE Credit
+1 Two issues here: neil88
+1 Firstly,Congrats on getting four internships. I mean hell that's dedication from freshman year. Won't fault you for that. Substack_Guy
+1 Hi, is this still true? What’s the updated corporate bank reputation now pigearth122
+1 PJT RSSG too low. PJTesus
+1 Keep the DEI Bettys where they belong in M&A. Restructuring is still a sacred space. PJTesus
+1 You got this bro Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Not idea, they seem like a clear JAMMBO from the outside tbh, just very good JAMMBO investors who have seemingly been great at add-ons / bringing down EBITDA multiples through multiple arbritage. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Stub bonuses are pretty mediocre for year 0s at BBs due to name discount (GS/JPM/MS). BofA pays dogshit because BofA. JamieDimonkey
+1 Risk and Compliance are two places I've seen a lot of good traders start out at. Trade support as well.  Substack_Guy
+1 Time will tell. I wish you strength in the wars to come. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 As someone who’s done exactly this here’s my two cents: 1. Execution is easier than putting your name behind the deal. Green Zeus
+1 Biggest way I changed my work habits is to pause before I do something (for maybe a minute) and think of the absolute most efficient way I’m going to do something, especially if it’s repetitive. seekinthealpha1
+1 The personalty type of a PE person and an IB person are very different. I do not like pure sales - I like technical sales (i.e. product specific, value-add). SeekingAlpha180
+1 Not the original disagreer up there. Some of of your views are reasonable opinions that I agree others may share. But some are outdated/stale, and some flat out objectively incorrect. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Bump Analyst 1 in CB
+1 The real question is why would the Swiss recruit anyone who doesn't speak one of Switzerland main languages fluently (Zurich being in Swiss German part, German >> French >>>> Italian) ? Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 I work in the space (project finance at a top bank). Nomura Greentech is the better choice between the two. They’re one of the top 3 specialist renewable boutiques alongside Marathon and CRC-IB. Longisland1829
+1 Username checks out Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Really appreciate your feedback. Would you be able to share any insight on the MM opportunities that are still in process? davidli10
+1 Congrats on BMO!  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 AmSec is the BMO of the MM world. It's also just not a UMM. I understand you Canadians are weirdly proud of your crappy banks, but nobody in the US respects the Canadian banks. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 DB is the worse UBS whether that be historical reputation (historically DB has been viewed as the worst BB), exits, or historical America's deal flow. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 FYI, it genuinely takes years of grinding before you can get to a position where having a good year will pay out. The years of grinding are truly a slog with very little guarantee of you making it. (i.e. Analyst 2 in HF - Macro
+1 HSG probably have the advantage because it's a Swiss university, but HEC remains top notch everywhere else. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Bonuses man WSoMonkey93
+1 MS office does suck. Nothing like watching homeless fighting while you wait for your uber at 4am :) mara20
+1 Associate 3 in PE - OtherActive deal experience in an underwriting group will always trump an asset management role. Or at least it should… VP in PE - Other
+1 The universe itself is very small and the list of credible investors is even smaller.  If you're thinking mining buyside, I would encourage looking at funds that invest across the cap stack.  Rabbit
+1 Appian had a solid rep and is one of a small handful of reasonably good firms in the space PM in HF - Event
+1 I was joking but clearly it didn’t land kms mrjackpots
+1 1000%. Ha, should: 1) make a spreadsheet of the HR ones and file a class action Capital of Structure
+1 Which MFs are active in SEA and what’s the reputation of each? Associate 1 in Private Credit
+1 congrats on evercore GDUDs
+1 should be a bunch of spanish people my guess that moved together maybe boib_1
+1 I work at a boutique middle market investment bank in a Tier 2 city. We typically leave the office around 7pm during the weekdays and have limited work on the weekends. Mr.FinanceGuy7
+1 Dumb idea. 0 shot anyone sponsors you for this. Having the 86/87 won’t help you recruit for ER anyway. You have to be basically retarded not to pass them so you wouldn’t even impress anyone on the hiring side Benson Says
+1 AI "sucks" in legacy projects where you have undocumented context and decisions scattered about within the people working there jim3
+1 Congrats on MIT! Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Michael Nessim. Who is the other one?  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 If you are a persist 2 Sharpe PM, why would you be doing YouTube videos :) That's why you learn "efficient market hypothesis" in college finance class that is totally useless. The useful stuffs are not public. Discretionary Global Macro PM
+1 love some good Richard Toad slander  Mike_wacczowski76
+1 Pretty long hours but strong comp. Would recommend if you can get in. Analyst 3+ in RE - Comm
+1 Technically, TN isn’t considered sponsorship. Only H1B is.  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 This is a good point - I've used AI in a lot of ways, but you still have to check what it does. Invalid_CREdentials
+1 What does comp / lifestyle / responsibilities look like for this type of role?  (PE BD) MnIGuy
+1 Artificial value creation that worked out well during ZIRP. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Why everyone talks about Excel? In my internships I definitely spend more time in PP to prepare slides... Pitch decks, CIM... I never touched a model during my first... afdhfg
+1 Bump wheydgahwhd
+1 Trump can go through a republican controlled congress to pass tarrifs. All tarifs weren't made illegal, the president just cannot unilaterally set tariffs. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 no there were 4 waves. recruiting went well into march  Anonymous Monkey
+1 also how do you know? Anonymous Monkey
+1 no offense, idk why black people get preferences over asians in IB roles during interviews and why they have 4 slots aimed towards DEI.. like bro... we're fucking smarter retard. Intern in IB - Cov

+1 They crushed last cycle in my market... second above. ThatGuyBalls
+1 Spoken like a true bottom bucket analyst Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 you have to be slightly retarded. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 The data in that JPM deck shows that whites are 33% of the junior levels, and there is an even distribution, making white women 16% of the incoming class.  How does that show white women are unfairly advantaged? Soros_
+1 holy get back to your job at stifel lil bro. ur opinion means nothing to anybody Intern in IB - Restr
+1 The kids who are JPM interns and juniors are grunts today but will be leaders the of JPM and other financial services companies in the future. Soros_
+1 Great well listen switzerland has the highest salaries in europe. IF you find a job there you will never leave. France is against foreigners and don't speak English. HSG is the best school to find a job in Switzerland. boib_1
+1 Great program with an awesome ROI for students. I did not do the program but have some friends that did and they said you need a strong level in maths or you will struggle. boib_1
+1 Pjt? Partner in Consulting
+1 Most people who go into A&M's restructuring group aren't interested in transitioning elsewhere. They get compensated well and usually aren't risk-takers interested in being a principal investor. eyt23
+1 avoid at all cost. With lower intern pay, no point in doing Wells appleidappleid
+1 Strong also! boib_1
+1 Intern in IB-M&AI was asked if I was working part time when leaving at 1:30am so there's always worse Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yo, Let us know who's got those aspen offices! PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+1 Bump, end of Feb had 3 Sds no offers.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 No. Recruiting is a lagging indictator and it has a very long lag time (i.e. look at GHL; which was practically non-exsistent in M&A for years but still had UMM/MF exits). Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 didnt MOE send 10 to MFs this year? Intern in IB - Restr
+1 I'm in a similar situation at 28yo, I make 800k$/y at SMHF (not a big name) but I always wanted to get the pod shop experience with sharp people who love the game. CopperStone
+1 I second Default, that’s a fascinating read and it makes you appreciate how orderly the bankruptcy process is. big_dawg
