Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 I interviewed this week and my spd is next week Amf72
+1 It’s about per capita exits and choice of opportunity. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Yea ur getting skull fucked buddy. My CVP / PWP / EVR interviews were all fucking brain teasers, mental math, and 5 step accounting questions. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 This is a good one too. If you can make MD at a large FoF or similar LP roles, it can pay well and be pretty cushy. Tough to get there though since there tends to be little turnover for that very reason. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 As they say... CRE
+1 Was in a non A&M RX consulting firm that went off billables, and generally, it's what you want it to be, based on what I've heard. Most people have a target comp that they want to get, and work towards that. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Laz above PJT and Moe LMFAOOOO Holy shit the Laz shills have gotten bad Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I'm gonna assume you're talking about exiting from A&M RX to traditional PE, in which case you're absolutely right. BUT, there's nuance. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 ojapar20Define slop.  IsItREPE
+1 I think you should search for slidedecks or Infomemos firstly and see what they look like, what graphs and illustrations they use. Then you just go into it and try to rebuild something similar, with shortcuts. afdhfg
+1 that was a really bad joke. bulgebracketmonkeyintern
+1 Da Davidson? Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I will be 0 help on your q’s about learning how to use it and setting it up, but I will say we used to have a model with this integration (?) and it made life so easy we wouldn’t let new analysts use it because we wanted hardcode4u
+1 Bruv just speak English Engineer Monke
+1 Agree with all of this. I'm also at a target school (MBA in my case) and was surprised by how many classmates took their BB offer, given the choice of a BB and EB (which many had), and despite the higher EB comp. Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+1 west village girls will think goldman is more impressive PJT/EVR higher comp and broader exposure, depending what you wanna do. exits will be decent at all 3 Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+1 No, plenty of people come in from IB or OCIO/investment consultant jobs. However, some endowments tend to hire alums of that school. Associate 1 in AM - Other
+1 ironically, even my female friends hate working with them too. its not a gender exclusive thing. they make finance so much worse. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I mean I had a conversation with a market lead at trammel crow company early in my career and he mentioned the profit share once you get to the top of the ranks of the regional office was in the millions. patrick_bateman_
+1 Spoiler: It’s dog shit Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 HL Rx? Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 I'm bored rn, so I'll nitpick this list: Only CVP Biopharma should be in S++. CVP (Rest) in S+ Jeff (Energy) should be separate and placed in S Move PJT M&A down to S- Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Most people choose citadel over point, but point has higher returns, a bigger class (so you can hide if you're not the strongest unlike citadel which takes ten killers), and focuses on teaching far more than citadel. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 In my experience the window is 5-10 YOE on the buy side. PM in HF - Other
+1 Very likely that the office is probably screwed. MDs have been mass leaving GreenHill after the acq. Look at Lazard closing it's Canadian office not too long ago VP in IB-M&A
+1 I’m at a BB and I agree with this take. All the prospects want to focus on M&A but it’s valuable to understand how the capital markets work and to get experience running a few equity/debt financings. batman12
+1 Just to clarify. Based on Esdeekid's post history, he is a BMO shill, and has been making 10+ non-sense rankingsto ensure that BMO ranks above TD, which has gotten him so frustrated in the original version.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Isn’t fund IV already 6 years old? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 BMO isn't high enough! That's_My_Quant
+1 congratulations on rbc Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Exits will still be elite, even for mid-tier analysts pelicanlover31
+1 I don’t speak Punjabi CEO in Research - FI
+1 Not sure if super common; but was told by there's a spot for me to be a senior associate at the fund at the end of my two years in my 2nd year associate mid-year, which I accepted verbally. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Didn’t know BMO had a M&A team in the US. What have they led that’s non M&M related? Unitranche Terry
+1 Yeah but still not impressed with the outcome. Mostly mid to low bucket quality. Unitranche Terry
+1 Thats what Kelley makes. Quantity > Quality or smth DonDylan
+1 Ivey is still better. Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 This checks out based on my experience during my MBA last year when I graduated. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 good list just stratify gs tmt from the others in its list crazyplayer135
+1 People on this forum need to learn how to do what’s best for them and not just what random people on the internet think. If you think going back to banking is the best move then do it. No one on here knows who you are Works at The Blackstone Group
+1 which ones?  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 first and last bmo shill  Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Somewhat decent list but BMO is actually taking me out  Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 . IB Intern in IB-RX
+1 I think the idea of choosing hobbies just to attract women can backfire. The most attractive hobbies are usually the ones you genuinely enjoy and stick with. mshahzaib44
+1 Good shop overall and generally great people - have made a lot of friends. Comp is above street and bonuses have held up well in recent years monsterofcookies
+1 I'm not crying about it. I'm laughing at losers that couldn't make it in because they're entitled rich kids that couldn't believe a poor kid was given a chance for once. Sharky286
+1 totally. Sorry to hear our experiences are similar.  earthwalker7
+1 bump Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Me as a second year IB analyst seeing these (fake) numbers after signing a PE offer instead of going to a MMHF Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Dyal & Co at number 1, we got a real ball knower eh  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Yeah those types I don't give a shit about. I don't even really support DEI stuff by the way, that was an assumption by the first guy that responded to me. I see the argument for DEI, though. Sharky286
+1 Focus on being correct and delivering high quality work. Speed comes with time and experience. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Nah no participation trophies Associate 2 in Consulting
+1 I'm a member, happy to review  vegasicilia
+1 Sounds like creative accounting Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 econometricksAnalyst 1 in HF - RelVal Analyst 2 in HF - Macro
+1 Yep not TMT or others Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 Because if you only have 100m to invest in PE you can’t possibly build a diversified portfolio or get access to managers below the mega cap names  m8
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen Director in IB-M&A
+1 It seems pretty clear that DB NY is cooked and has been for a while. Better off going to a MM firm  RM2817
+1 GS has a FIG team in Chicago, 1-3 summer analysts a year. JPM has mid cap M&A, industrials coverage, midcap coverage and midcap financial sponsors group in Chicago. All in probably 15 SA spots across the 4 groups pls_touch_grass
+1 This has to be a troll post pelicanlover31
+1 Cold email, cold email, cold email. Honestly, that’s all I can say survivor007
+1 Rambling in interviews is almost always a structure problem, not a knowledge problem. You know the material, you just don't have a clean skeleton in mind.  thefinalpitch
+1 NYC is chill given its easy to hide. The niches get wrecked given lean teams and some of the niches having good deal flow. Would low key reccomend a niche for the experience. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Some additions: buyout_boy: Wharton UG, I think MS (one of his TikTok’s had an MS water bottle), talks about being gay in IB CuriousGeorge1024
+1 I grew up in the Bronx projects, never met anyone “rich” till I got the banking. It’s all about reaching out to folks and selling yourself, the firm and team. AngelOfMusic
+1 Trust, UBS is gonna turn it around. Just need to give Marco more time DonDylan
+1 Think you mean, 1.) Jeff HOU 2.) Jeff M&A 3.) Jeff Tech 4.) Jeff (rest) Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 You can call me an AI doomer dimwit all you want, but why would increasing the productivity of junior bankers result investment banks hiring more of them? Hoomst MD
+1 I wanted to update and also ask a question. I had a call with an MD at a really strong bank. He put me in contact with someone below him on his team. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I would definitely do it, if for no other reason than, when work kicks off, you will have very little time, and will enjoy the fact that you spent some time getting your apartment set up the way you like, you might make so Aine
+1 When did you apply? drdrdr123
+1 Superdays for IBD ended last Thursday. Some offers are out already yummyyummy
+1 Happy to chat from my view Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I think he’s saying just because PE activity decreases in software doesn’t mean there won’t be other buyers (and sellers) that move in to fill the void.  kuf135
+1 Bump. Saw a posting recently jan.x5746
+1 can't speak on the US Med School process, as I am not familiar with it. That information does change things however. It becomes a constrained optimisation problem, you don't have the option of doing both (I assume). Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 could you elaborate more Intern in IB-M&A
+1 bump Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Would disagree there. Would say this is the case because MM MDs also usually have no idea how to manage unsophisticated clients. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I think the less public info there are on a shop, the more glaze they get from college kids. No one else considers these to be equivalent. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 not the quant job as you think; you gotta think about how to add value to your client everyday and the ability to make decisions and make your book better;  The Monk
+1 when did you guys finish hirevue? Also are you target or non target.  Anonymous Monkey
+1 You need to get into GSIF or Founders Fund, (preferably GSIF) your freshman year. Apply to the MSF program in the beginning of your sophomore fall. Anonymous Monkey
+1 My fund has been fine (no direct tech exposure thank god). Doing a few industrials and data center picks and shovel deals. earthwalker17
+1 Ask Jamie Dimon Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Was really gassy and I accidentally let out a silent but deadly as I walked past an associate I didn't like on the way home, like as I passed his desk. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Congrats on the new role - been seeing your posts for the past year and glad to see the work paid off. Could you share what you think made you stand out the most in your rx interviews? Incoming Analyst in Private Credit
+1 In a similar spot!! Would love to hear  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Maybe he thinks  50% of his unrealized carry is worthless…  chromium73
+1 I messaged you, I am down to split. If anyone else wants to join it’ll be even better/cheaper. zaraahmed
+1 Yeah hoping so, would send follow ups to connects to get your name in case that makes a difference but gotta try as much as possible cuz what do i have to lose lol dnskndke
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information available about Blackstone (BX) Credit and Infrastructure roles for Summer Analyst (SA) 2027. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Yes sir, second year Asso! I dream of exiting to your LMM group so please put in a good word for me  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Leerink BP? ProspectMonkey102030
+1 All the buyside shops i mentioned in canada (pensions, mm and lmm pe, altas etc) all wrap up by august/sep so it’s super imp to get a search fund for summer asap ans start networking for 2nd year summer. dnskndke
+1 Not this Monday, i think they release sds next week and batch 2 r1s next to next week maybe or later next wewn dnskndke
+1 Jefferies if you think you can handle the horrible culture and hours. If not, then Piper. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
