Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+7 “Literally the opposite of what I would have done” alright buddy. Prospect in IB - Cov
+7 All very different. Would not focus on year 1 or 2 comp but on upside. Publics are not a good place to shoot for median outcomes. Managing Director in HF - Other
+7 I have yet to close any deal after a couple years and don’t really know how M&A works. I’m a monster at marketing materials though Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+7 Basically no difference. Actually I'd argue that UCL/Warwick recruit equally if not better than some of the super targets. I study at Oxbridge and it's kinda disappointing how school name doesn't matter at all in finance. Prospect in S&T - Other
+7 I run a long only strategy on my PA, there is definitely opportunity and have done quite well.  PM in HF - Other
+7 Yes - Prospect at IU IBW Associate 1 in PE - Other
+7 Xhamster02Maybe RE expanded too hard post covid and now there’s a hangover effect in the industry MultifamilyGuy
+7 Stop shouting  Research Analyst in ER
+7 How are u enjoying NYU bro lol Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+7 My prediction is one of two scenarios: 1. We are done in one week, then in a few years we return with more force. seekinthealpha1
+7 why did you steal the post from xhs lol plzgivemeajob
+7 Discretionary Macro PM thoughts (I run about 300mm so in line with the 'mid' level as described) -  PM in HF - Macro
+7 Fuck this I’m moving to the states đź’€ Prospect in IB-M&A
+7 From the perspective of a 1st year A2A at a bank (arguably EB, probably not always considered EB on this site) with a 3yr analyst program. Really the biggest thing is effort for me. PlzFixThx
+7 Rankings have been discussed ad nauseam and have a significant subjective component, so I won't get into that. kegari
+7 This is an absurd post Intern in IB - Cov
+7 Yeah.. their Equities S&T business is very strong even in US, and it's actually one of the top players in Asia, including IB. I guess it's all about US IBD that UBS gets all jokes about Associate 2 in S&T - FI
+7 Congrats on OSU and GL with PE recruiting!  #SellSide4L rolo25
+7 People will post shit like this and wonder why they neither get the girls nor the internships Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+7 Someone please stop this guy before he does something he will regret for the rest of his life  investmentspanker
+7 I’m at a developer set up like the OP. Everyone does a bit of everything. Our senior MD and head of the team still gets into excel when things are busy. The only thing he doesn’t know how to use is Argus. pudding
+7 all of the interview questions are posted to this site btw. https://bit.ly/4qDrz3d i was able to get the offer but am accepting another bank  Intern in IB-M&A
+7 Don't think any MFs are "underrated" per say UMM (depending on how you define it): AIP, KPS, TJC Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+7 Congrats on JPM! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 The firm is Boston HQ'ed and every team has a presence there EXCEPT for tech, so in a lot of ways Advent Tech and the rest of Advent are quite distinct. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+7 It's the networking ones. overandout
+7 Used to work there. Dont know everything and might be outdated Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+7 essketitcuhqfs = cvp, sof = gs, fs = jpm, peg = evercore, ssig = pjt, iag = ?, cmc = barclays. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+7 God I love WSO maestro_
+7 theres a lot of resources out there for SA but found technical questions for lateral to be a lot more case study like and open ended. Also behaviorals go deeper. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+7 GDP growth means absolutely nothing if it's levered to the t-ts on debt. The U.S. deficit has reached 7% and is nearing $2 trillion dollars, most of it owned by foreign private investors. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+7 Reply telling him you deleted it; leak it if you don’t get the offer. Intern in Consulting
+7 Please update us on your feelings in a year when your PM gets fired PM in HF - RelVal
+7 Re-recruit ibmeatball23
+7 Congrats on the UBS! Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+7 Wait till they start stealing your bonuses. You will pick up their slack and get paid less. MD wants them to succeed over you so he can collect a fatter bonus.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+7 Start cleaning out your desk lol Regional_pubfin
+7 Associate 1 in Consulting has the right idea about how to use Claude Code. I've been using it myself in the same manner, and it works beautifully.  VP in PE - LBOs
+7 Moelis or Evecore  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+7 This is a wild thought.  For most situations, who cares? Ozymandia
+7 You can’t fix broken relationships and bluntly no one should be yelling at you in a professional white collar work environment. Look to leave immediately before this ends with you getting fired. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+7 McKinsey is generally recognized as number 1 globally. I’d pick them and never look back. Both super elite firms though. Analyst0910
+7 I've done some research into this, so I can take on a bit of a formal ish definition.  FinnesseGod
+7 At least analysts are working 5 days in office! That will turn things around  Intern in IB - Gen
+7 If it's not a top BofA group (M&A, Sponsors), then LAZ by a mile. If it's one of the stronger BofA groups then LAZ has a slight edge but not that crazy to take BofA over it. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 Rip Credit Suisse, and they were always better than UBS Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 If you really crown one MD a winner of WSO’s worst MD poll, are you going to send that guy a glass deal toy of a Monkey Shit?  Hags28
+7 Intern in PE - LBOs
+7 Man what is wrong with you? Is recruiting not hard enough already? Prospect in IB - Cov
+7 Various project management roles and/or small business ownership. Real estate, or at least my experience in development, makes you an ideal plate spinner and deadline driver.  CRE
+7 IB technicals across groups are largely very easy and a commodity. Yes that includes FIG and Infra, maybe a longer learning curve, but a commodity nonetheless. VP in PE - LBOs
+7 EVR M&A Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+7 DingalingMagnet
+7 Rumor on the street is MV is negotiating an America's IB carveout sale to barclays as part of a broader UBS sale. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+7 How do you know you’ll be able to lateral after 1-2 years? yummyyummy
+7 Sounds as rotten as UBS’s deal flow Prospect in IB - Gen
+7 Doesn’t take much at UBS Prospect in IB - Gen
+7 Im at an EN would more likely hire an analyst with 3-4 closed deals from a MM, than one from UbS who struggles to even know what steps a typical deal follows Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+7 Yeah never UBs, it’s worse than MM and worse than standard corp fin roles Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+7 Complete joke absolutely let them know these are peoples lives HR is playing with here... Quick side story since we're on the topic of dogshit interviews. Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+7 congrats on jpm Intern in IB-M&A
+7 Word. But if possible if you have an issue with your MD best to try to solve it directly with them. If not through colleagues. Publicly shaming someone should be last resort. Hags28
+7 My friend - do not for a second doubt that you did the right thing. I dare call you friend because that decision took courage very few people have and it is to be admired.  Swashbuckler
+7 I landed an eb and mfpe and went to a hypsm while being on erome all day🙏  trust the process man. Too many people hate on gooning but gooning will get you far if you don’t chase sex on top of it tbh  Intern in ER
+7 My point is just the way you’re going to resolve those debates consistently is probably just some form of data someone else can see. Even if they can’t, the way you trade will reveal a lot about what you think. Works at Citadel Investment Group
+7 Is moving to PE that hard if you don’t do it on-cycle? intern67
+7 Just less seats. It's not just the lack of on-cycle, but more so the recruiting in the period right after on-cycle. Within the first year most seats are probably gone for firms with a multi-billion fund size. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+7 500k cash for a 5 person LMM startup fund as a VP3 seems like a pretty sweet cash position to be in. Is it just the carry piece or does it feel like structurally you're stuck in your role?  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+7 It’s straight forward - you can get unlucky and have a US CBP officer go on a power trip, but if you have all the correct documentation and your lawyers prep you properly it’s fairly low risk. VP in PE - Other
+7 Early 30's RE debt guy here, doing well in my career, will probably be doing this till retirement. Director in RE - Comm
+7 Just my two cents. The better opportunities, especially for juniors, are not in equities. The asset class is getting commoditized fast, and people early in their careers will hit that ceiling sooner than they think. MarginSpark
+7 Why would anyone want to go to a bank (UBS) that is all over the Epstein files and banked Maxwell after Epstein got arrested Summer Associate in IB - Cov
+7 The hour comparison seems totally out of whack. As someone who worked at MBB, interned at an EB and has friends in both .. hansdieter1
+7 Grubhub, DoorDash, and Uber Eats appear to employ a significant number of workers who may not have legal authorization to work in the United States. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+7 The issue didn’t jump from equity to credit. SW PE is in a tough spot, the most aggressive lenders to SW PE deals are in a tougher spot. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+7 Patriot  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+7 It’s a complete betrayal from all angles. Our government, businesses, and universities are all in on it. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+7 The Social Network is also just one of the greatest movies of the 21st century. Worth a watch for Fincher's direction alone.  jarstar1
+7 Objectively almost every single hire was a miss. I don’t know how you honestly can miss that often if you are objectively evaluating potential MD candidates in the interview process Managing Director in IB - Gen
+7 You should choose a career that you're genuinly interested and curious to learn as much as possible. GS under Blankfein
+7 Ah yes, the US will lose to China (which basically has no immigration) unless we have massive amounts of immigrants.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+7 Always didnt understand why non S&T guys shit about things they dont know. qualea
+7 OP sounds pretty toxic… Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+7 There are very few licenses that go up for sale as they are owned by publicly traded companies and well integrated within their ecosystem. JZJammer
+7 Nothing more stable than an empty pipeline. It’s stable as in not changing anytime soon… Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+7 Quick take - this is business, you’re making it personal. Aine
+7 Commercial insights come from consistent work in industry, not pitch contests and school funds. Pitch and case contests to me are to help with scholarship funding and have no barrier of entry. VP in CorpFin
+7 To echo others, real estate skills just aren't transferrable, unless you're going from a CRE firm to a corporate user (like a SBUX, as mentioned above) - but you're still 'in real estate' in that scenario. asmith_1
+7 You need to balance your time here. Mastery 7 IB Shitter
+7 What do the non Americans do? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+7 How is this even a question? If you pick BofA over Lazard in any capacity you are legitimately retarded. BofA is a shit bank with shit bonuses and shit people. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+7 This is a bad faith argument. No one is arguing that the most qualified shouldn’t get the job. They are arguing that IB’s hiring H1B’s is a clear abuse of the program. Associate 1 in AM - Other
+7 I would not do it this seems like such a bad tradeoff. hansdieter1
+7 Lol. Unreal ego, someone was receptive to your call that’s why you’re an Analyst today. Some fool will climb become too big and look for way to destroy the ladder davani1420
+7 Yes, 100%. The drain of walking into an office with people you are fundamentally misaligned with is difficult to convey. I am learning real skills and having to think critically. FundingSecured
+7 Partially true.  Quant in HF - Other
+7 BP they actually groom you and teach you. Citadel is for you to run your own shop/pod. Matchabee
+7 stop outing yourself as low iq buddy. thats middle school snapchat shit. especially being in college. full retard shit. no_home_jerome
+7 OP here. Update 9 months in. I have partially gone gray and I feel deep dread every day. So whoever said give it 6 months, it was about 9. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+7 Sounds like autism.  Associate 1 in IB - CB
