+1 For those reading along, "scheduled" is doing a lot of lifting in this post.  Guess what happens when you miss your June closing and push to December?  Through the magic of addition, 25 months becomes.... 31! Ozymandia
+1 I had my first round on Friday, second round HR reached out on Monday. Investment Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Damn you’re so cool I hope I can be a bad boy like you one day! RevBuildRascal
+1 Anything Salman Rushdie or Toni Morrison.  tardyparty
+1 You think I am talking about sales of LLM tokens? I am talking about infrastructure utilization. That is a metric that is directly tied to expected value of the user. Is there a threshold where the cost exceeds the value? ioncewenttoschool
+1 The same minimalist bullshit that's corroding sports logos / jerseys. The two-tone blue is horrific but even the font simplification is unnecessary. flipcup
+1 Offering memos spell out the health of the market.  You gain market knowlege looking at historical trends. ioncewenttoschool
+1 I left MM PE to join one. The intensity is equal or greater than trad PE in my opinion and the upside is obviously greater. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Thats what blows my mind or they must be good at selling dog shit then. Maybe Claude is too expensive lol Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+1 Intern in IB - Genwhats the pinpoint lore? Bullet-Tooth Tony
+1 I log off around 7, don't work weekends, and have good upward mobility to VP. I think I'm fine. Thanks for the suggestion though. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 It's about value. Lab diamonds hold zero value, a real stone holds some value. ioncewenttoschool
+1 yah would love to know why you think this. curious if it's a Felix-specific thing or like the whole agentic approach just doesn't work for IB stuff? feels like these tools are just bad at knowing when to stop and ask vs. sundaynightfiredrill
+1 VP. Equity structured closer to what we thought of as phantom equity for platform investment, so definitely higher risk vs fund-level carry in PE. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs

+1 ball knowledge right here Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Starting a company like this would be a dream for me congrats and best of luck. hunchermuncher
+1 yeh in the discretionary FICC space QRs often get pigeonholed into support roles doing all the tech stuff and quantitative analytics for PMs with almost no alpha research/strategy development/ability to take risk. Intern in PropTrad
+1 Depends on if you're at a UMM/MF or not I guess. Is the cash comp around $300k? That's what most corp dev roles at PE backed roll-ups pay (like HVAC roll-ups) Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Explain?? Are you a Rogo employee posting this shit  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Similar boat. Have you actually been getting looks for CFO seats? If so, how have you been finding these opportunities? VP in PE - LBOs

+1 "given how much capital is expected to flow into Asia over the next decade". According to whom? More than to the US? MMPM

+1 Personally, I'd stick it out at the infra. group. If you take the bank role, you'd be taking a significant pay cut and there's no guarantee that you'd get the director promotion. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 Post-Felix launch much better Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Jesus fucking Christ. Comparing LLMs to crypto is just stupid af. ojapar20
+1 +1 odog, very insightful and the kind of divergent, out of the box thinking we need to have as invested industry practitioners generally. If you could do expand on this even more - i think everyone would appreciate it. Assist. VP in IB - Gen

+1 75 people isn't small as far as restructuring consulting firms go. Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 they pay well and honestly the learning is good when the portfolio is on fire so you spend 120h a week straining over your desk trying to squeeze blood from a stone SOFRsoGood
+1 they never asked for my transcript once. doesn’t matter  anonnnn62999.5
+1 They usually don't ask for your transcript, just make sure you network well. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Been tryna revive people talking about deals with this post and the GameStop post. More for me to learn about actual deal making than anything. Intern in IB-M&A

+1 Anyone else trying to move upstream from an LMM shop to a solid REPE or debt platform? Have gotten beaten out late stage in multiple processes because I don't have the brand name... Associate 1 in RE - Other
+1 Is this a real relationship or not? If the latter, rip the bandaid off and be done with it. If there is actual potential, you need to think long and hard about this. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Honestly, I would argue this is the perfect time to do it. Go now while the job market is still in a frenzy. Who knows? monkeyMAN8008
+1 Honestly kudos to you for thinking ahead - I’ll be blunt - no gf’s in the analyst years, it’s better that way and you really gotta focus on your career KageSelly

+1 mdwsteqCRE CRE
+1 Happy to clarify. Feel free to poke any holes if you think I'm missing something. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 There's only 2 firms but yes. It's dumb because I've always found that your actual role and quality of reps matter more than brand.  Associate 1 in RE - Other
+1 Yeah that's my point. They are raising at VC valuations and then turning around to buy a sleepy LMM business at an EBITDA multiple. Huge disconnect in their own valuation vs. the assets they buy. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 The Prize and the New Map for energy tank_monkey
+1 Banking or Co or both? rolo25
+1 It’s a valid point, Ozy. Associate 1 in RE - Other
+1 I worked on Dominion’s corp dev team until earlier this year. It was inevitable. You can look at Dominion’s IRPs and see there just was not enough money to make the investments to get the power that’s needed. jl12
+1 Slammed as in getting reamed by deals blowing up, or are you actually seeing a path to close? jmr206
