Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 What the fuck Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Schrodinger's joke here. You swipe, if she is receptive you go for it, if she isn't its a "hahaha funny seeing you here" Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 strange that the industry adopted distressed PE as a term given it's an oxymoron GS under Blankfein
+1 analyst on the racing simulator is crazy how are perks at the other HL offices (LA or CHI)? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I don't know where you are coming from, which could make a difference. For example, if you are coming from NYC you might not care about getting more of the "city experience" because you have already had that. RCJ92
+1 If you wanted to take on more risk, why not go to a merchant shop? Prospect in Risk Mnmgt
+1 Well are you considering the lower COL? I’m assuming you’re from UK. You can live a good life just on that salary, and then the bonus is pretty much unheard of it Sweden. Associate 2 in PE - Growth
+1 Because ya'll some fuckin nerds Abusement Park
+1 probably very good at putting up a front helpful in interviews. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 this isn't an industry that values character .. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Swipe yes and keep swiping until you find the MDs wife. Fast track to top bucket Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yeah but it’s not the euphoric, LFG drunk feeling, it’s more of the blow comedown, nauseous dissociated drunk feeling unfortunately Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Just clarifying the first commenter, IBSA 2027 roles have finished recruiting in the last couple of months. More importantly, 3.5 is unfortunately the bare minimum, especially at a nontarget. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 make all-nighters great again GS under Blankfein
+1 Damn that doesn’t rlly make sense to me, MBB interviews were probably more difficult than my IB interviews tbh (excl. EBs) but I’d go with BCG unless it’s A&M RX in which case I’d go with A&M RX. rolo25
+1 If she is pretty and any of the seniors are single / cheaters, they are already banging her. IYKYK. Happens way too often Director in IB - Gen
+1 “Clock off during normal hours like nothing past 1am” Lol this fucking industry Teller in Non-profit
+1 I actually started a SFR portfolio about 2.5 years ago which I absolutely love working on. Doing that honestly is part of the reason I really want to get a job where you’re part of the entire investment life cycle. Flurpy
+1 hi did it make a diff if u dropped the second major? in a similar situation rn Intern in IB - Restr
+1 It is different as RBC usually does not have analysts in Corp banking, that would have to be in CCG. Corp banking is more associates Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 The line that stood out was "this is the only job I've ever had." That's the actual question. Test it cheaply with a side project, a class, or an interview elsewhere, and see which one you actually show up for. stephengeluz
+1 Fax… think it comes with knowledge Analyst 1 in IB - PubFin
+1 Hired a couple really sharp juniors in my network recently... lappingezcomps
+1 I think you would be fine.  We don't have pictures of what you're wearing, so we can't really say. But designer dress clothes don't mean they're some sort of ostentatious garb.  Prospect in Risk Mnmgt
+1 Their name is so annoying and every time I spell it I have to look it up to make sure I’m including all the necessary “e”s Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 100% go with BCG. Angus Macgyver
+1 Thanks for your sage wisdom captain bitch SOFRsoGood
+1 So you’d rather have the candidate that did not use easy resources at their disposal? When I recruited from IB for PE forever ago, two things I read on WSO were materially beneficial, one probably extremely so. SOFRsoGood
+1 start in around the fall septemberish, do good in ur internship. rn all ppl are thinking of is current ‘26 summer interns not ‘28 recruiting Intern in IB - Restr
+1 You did NOT work at a "top consulting shop" lol MBBs pay just a slight discount to London. CoL adjusted you're better off in EE working at any of the MBBs. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Congrats on fent Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Congrats on IU JamieDimonkey
+1 I probably average 50-60 a week at my Dallas PE shop. Definitely not banking hours haha Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Banks reopen spots. Renege exist btw. lkfdshfkhask
+1 sonion wuandale33
+1 I'll assume you have an offer. Otherwise all these shits are pointless. Associate 1 in S&T - FI
+1 idk if u already committed but can u negotiate with middlebury to match gwu? Prospect in Consulting
+1 Building a meaningful professional network can be challenging without being physically present in Switzerland. Kevin W.
+1 Great analysis - thanks Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 how can u look yourself in the mirror doing something you aren't proud of? almost sounds like you're mentally fit to be a prostitute GS under Blankfein
+1 I also… confuse by this issue… this writing… strong... very good… i congratulat GS under Blankfein
+1 Would be a bit cautious this is somewhat unusual for Zurich. Kevin W.
+1 Associate 1 in IB-M&A Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 It's a "back office" role that pays 300k first year out of undergrad chill lol I have a friend who intentionally chose this over actual QT roles, it's a very strong opportunity and firm Intern in Consulting
+1 Thought I'd come back for quick update. Tried and networked with all major banks for public finance. Ended up getting SPD for Wells after starting in February.  blueberry_muffin123
+1 A work ethic can be a good thing, but you may find that self worth predicated on a position within the petit bourgeoisie may hold you back at some point as well. SOFRsoGood
+1 OA is now out fleche
+1 Bookmarked for future, thanks! newkid2019
+1 uh. one dd at a time. yall are doing 3-4? Intern in Consulting
+1 . altitude78
+1 That doesn't make any sense from an interview conduct perspective.  If it is really understaffed and a senior made time to for an interview they would be 100% focused on being efficent with their time. ioncewenttoschool
+1 I don't know, vibe was they couldn't be bothered with the interview. CPMA's15
+1 Just tell your friend he works with a bunch of assholes and leave it at that. ioncewenttoschool
+1 Simple - just don't speak to the current process. No need to raise flags or bring unnecessary attention.   VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Following Overseass
+1 I’ll be waiting for an update in 2 months! Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 bump nastycaptainrex
+1 Yeah and ultimately if you grind hard with clubs, no one in or out of the school will bat an eye at you being from GS, given that you did national service (shows resilience at least versus the average silver spoon kid). Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 As a newly minted “unc” (by one of my braver analysts) what does “herb” mean? YellenForYield
+1 Dude, who cares about the “official” rankings? People in the industry (the same ones that will be in charge of hiring/recruiting) are giving you candid judgement around the school’s reputation on Wall Street. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 People who work at $1B AUM SMs are scared their seats are going away due to AI and industry pressures...I cant imagine the lack of stability that comes with such a sub-scale SM. Factor
+1 How do you fuck up so badly that you get a 3.3 from a non target?? I mean at some point autopilot has to take over… idk if you have the mental capacity for finance man Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 bump VP in IB - Gen
+1 Happy to update down the line, I think I'm going to take a hands off approach here and hope the kid realizes on his own to stick with the basics. wjhamilton
+1 Feel like it’s happened to this site in general over time, more and more ai slop posts/replies. Although the trolls are pretty fucking funny Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Just leave. They'll yell at you for probably 10 mins, talk shit about you behind your back, but you'll be long gone by then and will probably never see most of those people again. Leverage Hero
+1 I shitposted on wso 24/7 and replied "congrats on Stifel !" under every ranking placing them higher than Z- pitchdeck
+1 I'm in the same boat (Stern 2030), except I went to a Bay Area public lol. 1550 SAT, multiple ECs and leadership, 13 APs all 4/5, and I thought I was the shit, but was also rejected from all the Ivies I applied to. kanyewestlover
+1 About a week after the superday, ru interviewing? Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I said top 30 undergrad for finance, not to study business. But here: Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Not saying Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 is this rage bait RogerTheAlien
+1 Money of Mine sometimes has energy episodes that are good acardboardmonkey
+1 currents podcast jaart
+1 They are all the same. They do the same expert calls to the same expert people. The difference is slide formatting.  Relentlessly Pragmatic
+1 Not sure what that guy above was talking about. It's not meant to block only DHT in the scalp, it never was. wsa007
+1 Yeah you’re right, came on here to lie about my comp on an anonymous forum. Wasn’t top bucket either btw Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I think it's 50/50 degree of intelligence and actual obsession with what you do. That obsession is why people with all the money in the world still go to work in a variety of fields. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 "Oil and Gas This Week" is rly good Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 Followed by a very akward 15 - 20 seconds when a nervous junior who wasn't sure if they were senior enough to announce themselves remained silent and a frustrated MD would ask the same "who just joined?" question 2 - 3 fur Count WACCula
+1 lmao I read this and thought this dude 100% works at EVR hahahaha Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 ooooh I really liked this Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 It's a numbers game; don't be lazy. You should try to get as many people on the phone as possible to maximize your chance of success. That's all there is to it. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Can vouch for the lateral, seen a buddy go FVA SA to LMM IB FT (eg. Stout, BGL, Keybanc) then EB after 1 year AnonymousRabbit
+1 More the specific vibe, my dad had a 93 and later a TT and it’s a fair bit of nostalgia. I like the Miata, but it’s just not going to scratch the itch.  guyfromct
+1 funny how students always think in black-white dichotomies. "Quality or Quantity" / "Work hard or smart"Erm both?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Wait until bonus clears in the account.  Be prepared to pack up and leave immediately (especially if going to a direct competitor).  Mezz_Star
+1 Selectively ignoring Medallia lol. Nice. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I dunno. I think if I'm giving IB my 200% for 2 years just to leave to PE, I'll start PE already burnt out. On the other hand, if I chill in IB while having PE lined up, then I can hit PE with all my energy. Kevin25
+1 Yeah this has to be one of the most inaccurate statements in a while… Sometimes better to just not say anything when you’re not informed. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 Let me pm you but sure. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 I think you just summed up my problem so well. I have not gotten into either program, and honestly, I will be making a decision based on fellows. I understand TCU is a grind. monkeybanana22
+1 lol I didn’t know they don’t host earnings calls… handler too busy to talk to analysts now? Analyst 2 in HF - Event
+1 People think funny but this is actually true (for good or for worse). Not even necessarily insecurity, just a desire / need to prove yourself (either to yourself / others / the world). Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Wow helpful, and congrats on nailing the case lappingezcomps
+1 You’re overthinking a bit, this is a very positive signal. Kevin W.
+1 Say Wallahi bro wuandale33

+1 At Mind Mingles, we are a results-driven digital marketing agency dedicated to helping businesses grow, scale, and succeed in the ever-evolving digital landscape. pandayadhira
+1 You need to show the associate that you are going to bat for them to the seniors. Otherwise why should they grind for you? SOFRsoGood
