+1 Investment banking is the only job where you can be 10th percentile at your job (MD) and make seven figures.  Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 If you’re cracked it won’t matter if u go to stern or Wharton Intern in IB - CB
+1 I think data centers have a long runway. Society is becoming more online, not less and regardless of AI we're going to need more data storage. Multif@mily4Life
+1 It's @jpmorgan.com  not sure if the other one would route through to the indiivdual  anon1982
+1 @jpmorgan.com Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Tier F firms requiring 2-3+ years experience at GS/MS/JPM/EVR/PJT/CVP for An2 Education wise, strict on Oxbridge or the big EU biz schools Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Lil bro has no rebuttal so just copes and calls me emotional. How boring. arossi11637

+1 I did! I wonder when r2 come out… ifr3ijri33rfr3f
+1 I went to columbia and have multiple friends from both columbia (from econ to philosophy to CS) and cornell (ILR/Dyson) did MBB. Associate 2 in ER
+1 To prepare effectively for a full-time role in corporate banking, here are some recommendations based on the most helpful WSO content: Financial Modeling Skills: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 I think you should use ur Stern offer as leverage for the Wharton Financial Aid offer. I'm fairly sure that can work.  anonymousmonkey123414314
+1 So did this work out? Btw low effort post, you could've at least asked "Should I put all my money on Hynix" and roll that 20-sided Korean dice and hope KPop Demon Hunters would exorcise the bear demons. pbandjpartners
+1 At the risk of asking a lazy question, I've seen you posit that timeline in a handful of threads - what gives?  ABSurdity
+1 Bayside scarcity is real, from both what I’ve seen IB analysts I know and the constant discussions here. I’m just not going to believe your point without contradicting data. arossi11637
+1 I feel like it's one of those "no harm no foul" situations; idk how you guys save files but I would consider fixing the version you have on file? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Thanks fellow analyst 1 - weirdo....  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I agree, and that's why I think it's a long runway, generations long. Multif@mily4Life
+1 Really solid breakdown, especially the point about founders needing to be genuinely obsessed with the problem they’re solving rather than chasing an exit. khan.mmua
+1 We could be here forever if you want to argue what career is "better" out of banking, law, medicine, engineering, etc. but that's a waste of time since it's too subjective.   rolo25
+1 Mine passed far too young two years ago. I'll send you a DM.  CRE
+1 Interested  Dj.BaconX
+1 Weird strawman. No one here has ever said you pay things like rent by the hour. Ironically enough, you’re working more so you still pay the same price for renting a space you barely even use except for sleep. arossi11637
+1 Associate 1 in Private Credit Dj.BaconX
+1 Real. rolo25
+1 d Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Yes.  Slightly off topic, I opened a restaurant because I felt the Indian food scene in my city was mid. My most directly applicable experience going in was knowing how to negotiate a lease and build out a space. mclovin1225
+1 An1 and don’t know much about Asia market but bro, seems like u have great experience. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Ts gotta be rage bait Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I’m primarily a distressed buyer (lots of notes) and I’m just not seeing rent growth in a lot of these markets. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 live events seems to be hot and somewaht underdiscussed rn (see the big apollo deal last week) + we've seen a number of industry conference + data providers in the last 2 years Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 tbh I do wonder what it would be like to work for them or their related real estate group Pierogi Equities
+1 Well known Tier 2 firm, founded by ex-FTI ppl primarily. Big in the retail space, good culture and WLB, comp is on the lower end though. Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+1 It’s not but interviewers were ex those firms and others. Probably that’s why they were similar.  lbt1023
+1 MF of retards? Is this Carlyle? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Once you stick it out to VP+ it’s worth it. I work 50 hours/week and make 600k+ RBOB_squarepants
+1 According to the retards that run that country you can just come over and you are a citizen.  ioncewenttoschool
+1 Are data centers a fad? No.  Are they a good place to have a career in? Likely also no.  I think we are 7 - 10 years away from pretty much all new compute being done in space or on the edge. ioncewenttoschool
+1 Imagine needing a visa when literal terrorists are getting permanent residency for showing up in a boat with a fake sob story lol PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 . energytraderrr
+1 That’s wild. I did something similar, although the first deal I ever put an offer on I closed. Partner in RE - Comm
+1 I always heard restaurants were a shit business… low margin, highly competitive, etc., although the Greeks and many others have figured them out… I hear liquor and breakfast are where it’s at. Partner in RE - Comm
+1 Parents have a net worth in the mid eight figures. I also think because I was able to make that money myself pretty easily, I don’t view it as THAT much. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 Thanks, really appreciate the perspective. Very encouraging to hear. Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 We do both growth strategy and buyout. We give our an/asso candidates a 4-hr LBO modeling test. I normally just check if dem balance sheet is balanced (lol). Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 You'll have a grad visa so yes of course. Had a friend that landed a summer at MM while on the visa after LSE Intern in HF - Other
+1 Holy ai slop Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Very strong and have been on many notable LMEs the last few years. Probably in line or right below HL and below EVR/PJT Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Just simply practice. I found the skills come along with the job and not to worry too much about it. E.g., dont use your mouse when creating a model 99twotwo1
+1 Thank you for this, some decent advice, and congrats!  alexcokke
+1 honestly just a good QAT setup Intern in IB-M&A
+1 No bro lol Benson Says
+1 I did a summer at a BB in London last year and went on plenty of coffee chats Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yes. Space removes massive amounts of ground based constraint, it has unlimited power and space, no pun intnended. ioncewenttoschool
+1 He's just trolling dude; respect on your experience. I believe you ;0 IndustrialWarehouse
+1 That's fair, and good on you and your folks, but you have to view it like playing "catch up". equitymuncher
+1 S&T for sure requires social skills, both in talking to clients and communicating with them, but also especially in macro trading you need to understand the political landscape of the country you trade, which is quite Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 I mean honestly, it's not just PE / consultants. I used to hate getting asked, "what do you do?" until I realized how common it was for any adult to eventually ask this after meeting someone new. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 two chicks at the same time .... in a $99.99M house asmith_1
+1 Extremely sweaty. Apollo lifestyle without the Apollo comp Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 First off, if you're at a networking event, no shit people are going to skip the bullshit small talk and get into it.  They don't care about your golf game or home life. Ozymandia
+1 What gets me wrong is that they crash on me for being late. The office is an hour from my house when traffic is bad. A few more questions (happy to PM with you as well) anonymous28777
+1 Could be 5+ years in sunbelt markets before typical deals make sense again. Brokers push back their rent growth projections every year. BoomerVoomer
+1 jeez dude what bank do you work at sounds like such a sweat shop lmfao pbwind2024
+1 I think cornell=columbia for IB but columbia>cornell for mbb.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 ioncewenttoschool m_1
+1 The first corp dev role I had out of IB / PE was purely execution. A pure-play roll-up with a lot of deals moving through the pipeline. thulse12
+1 White collar services. Tougher than blue collar services from a stakeholder management perspective. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Short them then investor45
+1 Hourly pay is ABSOLUTELY a good measure. Is a construction worker making 10% more per week than an engineer after working twice the hours “doing better”? arossi11637
+1 Looking at OP's post history, pretty sure that they'll be coming in at a lot more senior level than an intern lol huitt
+1 Thanks. Understand live deal mode means high hours but how is your WLB on non-live deal weeks?  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Take a week off using vacation. Then say you are sick at WFH following week. Thats what I did. Firm was relaxed with having zoom camera on vs off so made it easier. Short hair obviously makes this easier. Director in IB - Cov
+1 You can try to exit directly from I'm assuming audit/tax, but most exits are with a big 4 deals team in the middle. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 lol investmentwanker123
+1 Centerview Partners Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I'm only a student so apologies if I'm way off the mark but I reckon expressing intent about what you want to do on Excel and AI doing it can't be too far off at all. sp1313
+1 agreed, claude mogs  VP in PE - Other
+1 Ares DL - A1 - £75k (not sure on bonus) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 you use AI to write - i read the fasting and third eye essays and it's very high in AI content Investment Analyst in HF - RelVal
+1 Had a senior I used to work with go to the doctor because his resting bpm was 120. Another colleague got fatty liver (probably from alcohol). clowngrade_
+1 Commenting to avoid bot.  Prospect in PE - LBOs
+1 Prospect in IB-M&A RandomMonkey0628
+1 Excellent contribution to this site! +SB!  Wags_Wagner
+1 It's either A) You have a good network and family background and can swing a spot B) You are somehow super impressive / DEI and someone feels nice enough to give you some mentorship. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Don't have actual data but definitely feel like this is the case as well. A lot of LMM PE firms seem to focus on buy and builds. I see a lot of corp dev opportunities for PE-backed roll-ups Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Partner in RE - Comm mclovin1225
+1 All good advice however good work and taking stuff off people’s plate usually just yields more work because people know you can get stuff done well..  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Obviously depends on coverage team’s headcount / hiring growth expectations, but I suspect that they get folded into the coverage team of the industry that they worked on the most; not uncommon to see even 1st year M&A Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 nobody cares lmao I went to a target school and so did many others on here PhantomGhost
+1 Thanks ever so much. Will certainly heed your advice and focus on volume as the best way forward probably. sp1313
+1 You're most welcome. Keep us updated on your progress, which is certain if you keep the same energy rough diamond
+1 mate I am talking about someone years ago back in like 2018 whos specifically listed (through cold emailing)not the BCBF stuff Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 The only thing I've really contested you on is this idea of true exit opps. Everything else is an argument you've made up in your head. nutmegger189
