+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about a BNP Paribas Montreal to NYC pipeline or the North America Mobility Program. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 I havent heard anything about m&a as a product group getting folded Research Analyst in Research - Other
+1 Depends on what seat it is. Is it one of the grad programs (specifically P72 Academy/CAP)? Would take it in a heartbeat IF you want to do publics LT. Prospect in IB-M&A

+1 Shutup freshman go get laid KageSelly
+1 first go take care of ur distressed sex life Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Agreed - it still gets things like circ refs, formatting, organization, inputs, and optionality incorrect without strong context and the user already having a clear vision of what and how they want to accomplish something. MrTranche
+1 Yes you can go to an EB or BB plenty of people have done it. Just network, write a good blurb on your internship, have good technicals, and get a return and you will have a great chance.  asi123
+1 How'd it go guys Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Can someone start a megathread Intern in IB - Cov
+1 useless peanunt
+1 Commercial towing is absolutely popping off right now. Fastest I’ve seen PE activity pickup in a 6 month period ever for a specific sector loud_bathroom
+1 Actually reaching out with genuine interest / intent to build a relationship (having great questions that show you've done your research) vs. having really generic conversations that lead you nowhere. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Any idea how comp scales at MD level? Fair to say late 30s and into your 40s youre in the 2-5m/yr range? Director in PE - LBOs
+1 Nope. Dr. Carlos Wesley in NYC. Expensive, but worth it IMO, top notch work. 15-25k (I was about 20k) vs. probably 5k in turkey. Director in IB - Cov
+1 Sponsor Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 You either fall up the ladder and inherit someone else’s relationships / rely on brand name, or you get out there and make it happen. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I’ve worked with several expert networks in the PE space and have had a very positive experience with Nexus Expert Research. albertjhon
+1 being bad at job = bad being smart about allocating your time and energy = good SOFRsoGood
+1 you're a human in the world with agency. come in at like 4a one day with the chair. get a very noticeable lumbar rest accessory that goes on top of the chair. SOFRsoGood
+1 ppl that got 1rs - what schools? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Hi there! I came here with the same questions. I'm not sure if you're still active on here, but I'd love to ask a few questions and brainstorm together if you don't mind me DMing you or chatting here. autumn.komorebi
+1 What do you mean solid stuff? Never seen PWP on any major deals and they aren't in any conversation in tech banking Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 Hi! This is helpful information because I'm also trying to understand what the EH Academy is looking for and if it's worth applying if I don't have previous finance experience.  autumn.komorebi
+1 Honestly, calling data centers a "fad" feels a bit like calling the internet a trend back in the 90s. mithusjc
+1 Well, the base property management fee itself is actually pretty low margin. gwennyh
+1 Honestly, both are amazing schools, so there’s no “bad” decision here. But saving your family nearly $500k is a huge factor and something you shouldn’t ignore. Divyanshu
+1 Thank you for sharing this it genuinely resonates. Divyanshu
+1 Non targets are just insecure Once in a blue moon a target kid will descend and post something related to this But every week some non target is bashing target kids Möbius'
+1 How? All these numbers seems low? Atlcalling
+1 not in PE but it's gone either way for me in the HF/LO land... one fund/recruiter gave me a rejection/said I was a 2nd choice over the phone... and other times it was basically a soft offer i.e. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Is there a way to turn off this AI swill? These answers are generic and terrible acardboardmonkey
+1 hrpowers gave a very good summary. I would give this an general advice. you need to have an opinion, on everything. All the time. Follow markets constantly, have an opinion on everything you read. leefbmp
+1 This is fine  throughthewire
+1 Depends how much work a given fund does in Poland. It is definetly a plus, but would not change the overall assessment of a candidate. For a German speaker you would sometimes compromise and accept a weaker candidate. Vp in PERE
+1 Absolutely. Was growing in certain pockets before, but since rates increased I would argue it's the primary strategy you see in the MM now. Pretty difficult to pencil a >2.5x w/o M&A these days. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Every other week another kid thinks they’re a genius for creating one of these AI powered networking tools (myself included) but no one has actually scaled a product as it ends up creating more friction than it solves. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 Congrats on the new move! When I finally decided to upgrade from my basic Ikea stuff, it made a huge difference just picking a few quality pieces like a solid sofa and a nice accent chair. Hanlon
+1 My whole team got replaced by AI.  thisisanexampleofausername
+1 Depends how confident you are about getting into FMA and how hard set you are going to NY compared to Charlotte or Atlanta doorstop
+1 I would take Wharton but look for as many avenues to lower the burden as possible—reapply for fin aid every year, apply for need based aid, apply externally for aid programs, etc. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 This is the problem. Don’t focus on exits as an intern. By the time you come in it could all be changed. You know what won’t change? The culture. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Shave your head and grow a beard. You don't need a hair transplant any more than girls need filler.  CRE
+1 It’s doable but very hard, have met a handful of Auburn alums on the street.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 xyz zzzzzzz11
+1 Not to be negative, but genuinely trying to provide sound advice, as someone who attended an SEC school (albeit still a “target”/semi target school-UT/Vandy) if you’re interested in the culture/student life of an SEC schoo rolo25
+1 This might be survivorship (I broke in from one of those lower schools) but I partially disagree, if your stats are good (think 33+ ACT, 4.0 college GPA) you can make it from a lower tier SEC school like Auburn, Bama, FSU. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Similar story / upbringing for me. love it - rooting for ya  MnIGuy
+1 I mean, what exactly are you disagreeing with? rolo25
+1 Arguably the best industrial investor in the US. Owned by Calpers obviously so not sure how that impacts comp, but they're highly respected by pretty much everyone in real estate TQQQ999999
+1 yes, but you do know about such book.... dangerous ideas... very machiavellian... had me look different at my frends ... makes me scared.... GS under Blankfein
+1 Yes. The problem is that building one of these businesses is significantly harder, requires different skills than PE, and is relatively high risk. throw-away-account1
+1 The only thing you can control is the timing. Apply the day offers are posted. Do hireviews/OA the day you received them. And just pray. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 I would suggest trying to get the full-time offer at the MM IB. Then attempting to re-recruit and getting a FT offer at a BB IB and trying to place into a Lev Fin or DCM group. arw444
+1 Seems like it depends on what you’re recruiting for - if principal laterals, then can omit or just mention to show that your existing firms values you (why not?). SaaSChimp
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's a breakdown of your situation and potential paths: Path 1: Accept the Nordic Boutique Offer Pros: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Similar to JPM - usually EMEA teams considered better with top UK students getting EMEA teams That being said, it feels like the UK team is getting better every year and you have a bit more sector flexibility Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 CVC Credit - Asso 1 is 120k base Tominc.Ba
+1 that's great to hear, makes me a lot more confident in the plan.  xxx1
+1 heard its group placement and there's heavy/disproportionate rush for the top groups Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Can anyone share what to expect for first round interviews? frozengrape20
+1 Open to correction, but I’d say similar to SMBC, SocGen, Natixis, BNP, Truist. rolo25
+1 Can anyone speak to the Amity technical assessment? Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Hey if you know any PC shops with a legitimate satellite office where a VP can work remotely most of the time, please DM it my way. Just haven’t really come across that in my search.  arw444
+1 What 2 non-citizen placements in the US did Rotman have this cycle? Intern in IB - DCM
+1 Rare bot W PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Work in your own country  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 LA office, HCS and CSA were historically best for exits from 2022-2025 but ultimately comes down to the person more than the group as far as exits go at Moelis (M&A had strong placement this past year). Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 couldnt agree more.. as ive aged ive seen people in this industry who are "formless" as that book suggests. barely living.. SOFRsoGood
+1 offers out animatedmonkiwi
+1 Impartial here but if Stern is mediocre then so is Dyson, and the admission standards at Stern are higher than Cornell (SAT/GPA) and equal to other low ivies. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 I mean, you’re definitely not imagining it, but that's just the nature of the beast in this industry. mithusjc
+1 You’re not impartial, you went to Stern lmao. You’re the guy who made the trash vs garbage. You ain’t slick. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 agree. Made it from an SEC program even worse than the ones you mentioned w/o any clubs, on campus programs, etc. Doable if u network well and want it bad enough. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 hahahhaha no way kid, i am totally impressed. Maybe read Notes From Underground, Geanology of Morals, War and Peace - to dismantle grandiose ideals of “Great Men” and Status Resentment  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 Jajaja de rien frérot ! Samur8
+1 God damn you have to be a top contender for WSO hater of the year lmao VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Considering the capital inflow here. Is this a space to get some good transaction reps in? Or is it too niche and likely wouldn’t apply to other sectors. moose13
+1 You're assuming Wharton and Stern are the only two options for banks. Associate 1 in PE - Other

+1 That 188m is in high school and is spewing garbage across his several accounts. Wouldn’t be surprised if you were one of his accounts. Brahhhhhhhhhhhh
+1 LatAm should be more feasible to recruit for FT if you also speak Spanish I'm assuming. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 What for you constitutes easy to work w? Asking bc idt im the most outgoing person ever nor was i in a frat so im a lil worried  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 hilarious and sad that kids these days can't seem to see beyond parties and hot girls a well trained mind is an appreciating asset of a lifetime honeyroastedcashew
+1 I don’t have a full-time housekeeper, but I’ve found there’s a middle ground that makes a lot of sense when work gets crazy. Hanlon
+1 188mCongrats on Cornell ! Nobody Man
