Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Can you please develop a bit if you don’t mind? I feel that is a tricky decision Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 I wish 🫩 Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I'm a finance manager (FP&A/Strategic Finance) in a MCOL city, make $130k and work 40-45hrs a week at age 31. My wife makes $55k in a super easy job, so HHI is around $185k. We own a home and have a kid.  Manager in CorpFin
+1 Definitely worth asking as some ER firms, especially when hiring ex-bankers and those from industry research backgrounds, expect far too much on the modelling side and train you little, if at all. LendingFanatic1
+1 Can’t speak for Canada much unfortunately, but a good thing to do (if you’re not already doing so) is trying to get coffee chats with as many people as possible, especially those at smaller firms without HR/ careers teams. LendingFanatic1
+1 midwest_analyst Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Very strong in london, considered no 4 or 5 in consulting ranks (with MBB taking the top 3). Great option, good exits (seen people lateral to VC, IB, REPE etc) LendingFanatic1
+1 Del weblamston
+1 Yea I feel like RX consulting especially should get atleast a little respect on here, it's really not MBB or bust, they don't even operate in the space. Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 1st year - $100K + 10% bonus. 2nd year - $105K + same bonus. That's a good bonus if you have that. Very high for a REIT at analyst level in HCOL city. VincentChase1
+1 Had a buddy who had a similar experience. He did Vandy MSF and landed EB FT. If you have former high finance experience, recruiting is insanely easy out of Vandy Msf according to him. Analyst0910
+1 OzymandiaCREI'm willing to bet that person hasn't left the country much.  LMBurn
+1 Don’t have anything to add aside from what I wrote originally, but happy to give more detail: Research Analyst in PropTrad
+1 IHateHardosIsn’t it passed your bed time old timer? "Past," dumbass   CRE
+1 Any DB numbers? Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 wow great stuff OrthoepicTrack
+1 This just made me sad and mad Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 These are all the most awful, time-consuming parts of the job. Love that I can spend my time elsewhere. Too much to do.  modafman1
+1 Ye agreed, but these are also 60-70% of what most analysts do (at least first years), and these tools are only getting better every day at an exponential pace  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 ppl have said trading will be gone since 2000 and cash equities is still alive so  Incoming Analyst in S&T - Equities
+1 That you felt the need to respond proves my point.  Back to the cuck chair with you. LMBurn
+1 Definitely doable in corporate banking. My VP is out of the office everyday at 5 and pulls in around $350k, doesn’t seem like he’s very stressed, if at all. Analyst 2 in IB - CB
+1 When was the last time you lived in London (or even visited)? Honest question Bruvver
+1 20 in my class afaik and just because Stern is a top feeder doesn't mean everyone is getting Evercore M&A/CVP/PJT RSSG. I'd take LACs 10/10.  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 - assocn12
+1 NY PU&I team  a7789
+1 There is nothing positive to be said Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 This is one reason I'm looking to jump ship. Comp and promotion progression is looking stale at my current firm. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back after SPD? btc7604
+1 Fwiw I spd’d last year in july Prospect in S&T - Equities
+1 yeah CB, Chicago and Houston are after this wave from what I was told. Clouds115
+1 remove Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Think about like this, what do you gain from putting it on ig other than stroking your own ego? mo bamba
+1 I have infra modeling case studies and training materials to trade - DM if interested yeehardo
+1 In market conditions of today, I think the correct option is actually C. Take that stable $500K/yr job then start to manage your own book with excess income on high-risk strategies. pbandjpartners
+1 Nice! Make sure to not spend that Dennys gift card all at once (I know how you anchorage people are)! anonymizeplease
+1 Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas howtomakeitinamerica
+1 He was a VP when I was born. Made MD when I was around seven I believe Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Is this rage bait? DealFlowDan
+1 Spot on - additionally, Bloomberg was an independent for 1/2+ of his stint as mayor, and a Democrat after. But of course Dr. Fugue
+1 How do you have service if you're stuck in the mine? lucien_de_montclair
+1 6 MS thrown? come on yall this is definitely ragebait lucien_de_montclair
+1 genuine question, is brown even an ivy anymore? feel like its the credit Suisse of elite universities. cornballjones
+1 I should add, Amherst invented the concept of currency itself! lucien_de_montclair
+1 I should add, Amherst invented currency itself! lucien_de_montclair
+1 I might add that John Amherst literally invented currency! lucien_de_montclair
+1 Not to mention, pretty sure the idea of currently originated from Amherst anonymizeplease
+1 r1 out Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+1 Reading through that report from Citrini Research got me hella depressed. We are soo cooked....... mikeyaperta
+1 By luck you mean going to Appleby, Crescent, or UCC Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 True that haha  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 it’s hard to turn the impression around. You are well positioned for the buyside so what’s stopping you? If you are truly passionate about banking you can lateral as well. Green Zeus
+1 I saw Alpha Fund placement post last year and it seems insane (P72, 2x EVR, CVP, BainCap, etc). Some of them also seem to be only in alpha fund. Was this a fluke? Context: incoming freshman at Cornell barce
+1 This reads as BofA EC am I wrong? Works at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
+1 Works at Bank of America Merrill LynchThis reads as BofA EC am I wrong? high hopes
+1 Being good needs to translate into deal fees. We have revenue per headcount targets. If Group Heads fail to meet them then they game the system prior quarterly with layoffs.  Exec VP in IB - Cov
+1 Nomura is pretty solid in securitized products and rates. I know a couple of people who work there and enjoy it. Director in S&T - FI
+1 Get a job first Becky Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Just say you got dinged by EVR bro lmao Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Emory down to bottom of A- anonmonkey025
+1 PE. No other exit opps besides corp dev are shared between the 2 Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 That protection is reserved for underperforming women exclusively. MD bonuses are tied to DEI metrics.  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Tier 2 (not PIMCO) West coast buyside AM gig. Marketish hours (7-2:30) maybe sometimes you gotta come in early if something big is happening. Director in S&T - FI
+1 Associate 1 in PE - LBOs goodL1fe
+1 you already said you would enjoy S&T because you like markets. and why would you care of exit options in Credit Research path if you are already in the AM? Associate 1 in S&T - FI
+1 Terrible choice, junior here heading to a BB this place will fuck you up in unimaginable ways and grind you to a pulp for nothing. Avoid at all costs  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 … Principal in PE - Growth
+1 More nepo than anything but yeah. No room for top talent to stick out at most NESCACs. I genuinely believe you are better served going to your state school Intern in IB - Gen
+1 All of those people were massive nepo kids (ones dad was a blackrock exec, others were GS, MS, JPM group heads etc). Intern in IB - Gen
+1 As a A/W student who thinks you should not come here under any circumstance, I don’t think they’re lies. I think smart people from A/W don’t break into banking for the most part. It’s almost all athlete and nepo. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Tbh second this (also at one of the A/W). Wish I had also gone to my state school; this place does not reward effort and connections/pipelines are greatly exaggerated if you're not nepo/athlete.  Prospect in CB
+1 AKKR. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 I think you're good for all. essec should be easiest to get in, Oxford maybe the most difficult, but doesn't mean it's better than the rest for you. Associate 1 in VC
+1 Not seen it, but I only knew 3 people who worked there personally and those were the exits they went for. Hopefully someone else can give more insight LendingFanatic1
+1 Might as wall put it in your instagram notes pitchdeck
+1 The London teams will be quite fluent in those areas still - many will have bachelors or masters in geology and what is called "petroleum sciences" in the UK. The focus will be more Middle Eastern and African. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+1 I find it unfortunate that two people evaluated your opinion as "Inaccurate" though I personally found it to be informative. Let me go through every individual point. Sharky286
+1 Not from SoCal but it’s accurate. Just under a 5.5 cap with ~14 years remaining on the lease. If the developer paid 800/SF for the land under the building, 1,500 PSF probably isn’t that far above the cost basis. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 No, this ranking is very useful for people to make the right choices. Some unis cost over 100k !!! boib_1
+1 IND/M&A/FSG/HC strongest teams, Telco/Tech/Energy/C&R are the next strongest. Aggressive hiring in Tech particularly, Energy has fallen off slightly in the past 7 years but still strong. Senior VP in IB - Cov
+1 "I don't want to dox myself." jl12
+1 SA. Don't you know the requirements for banking? There is a reason why so many in Epstein's circle were finance bros ;) jl12
+1 Brown is one of the best targets for CVP. There is a dedicated alumni recruiting team and firm really likes Brown.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Put it all in the S&P 500. If you are concerned of the AI-concentration in the S&P 500, put half in the S&P and half in an S&P ex-AI fund.  jl12
+1 Brown places really well actually. Last year had PJT RX, 7 EB and more BB. No one wants to do IB so offers%applicants would imagine is higher than Wharton. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 HEC cares but it's mostly in the context of making up for something. LBS absolutely doesn't. iuc
+1 Congrats on UBS Sharky286
+1 John Amherst literally invented electricity lucien_de_montclair
+1 . east.block
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s how you can assess a candidate’s understanding of options mechanics and strategy beyond just theory: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 99% of the people who get offers from LACs are (i) varsity athletes, (ii) rich parents already (maybe they also did the tuck bridge program), or (iii) DEI. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Thank you for pointing out that NYC has such a law. I'm wondering why those places are so unsafe and violent? Ozymandia
+1 .. starwars1234
+1 bearboarbat: Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I feel like for GS/JPM compared with McKenzie/Bain prob the case. But I feel like EB has no recognition outside finance? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 This sounds sus lol Prospect in HF - EquityHedge
+1 "I went to a networking session on my campus with alums and I overheard chatter about banks automating the analyst grunt work..." (Internal quotations omitted). jl12
+1 There is almost no protectable IP in building financial models. Basically every single element of it is public knowledge, especially since most of the modeling is just doing what's required by tax law/regulators.  jl12
+1 I'm not saying that we should institutionalize someone who happens to be smelly and potentially antisocial, every MD fits that description. Sharky286
+1 You're better off trying to become more attractive, expanding your social circle, and maximizing your IG to start. Organize group trips: skiing, Coachella, yacht week, and F1. AnonymousMonkious
