+1 Getting primaried for caring about the Epstein Files is unsurprising, yet still wild.  I wonder if he runs for president, and if he does, if he has any real shot at securing the Republican ticket.  CRE
+1 Worth adding Nodem Capital to this list. They're a specialist NAV lender focused on family offices and institutional LPs — portfolio-level financing against private equity, private credit, and co-investment holdings. ajkb

+1 I think you're good to walk in for a Datejust, I got mine (desirable config) really fast. MonopolyMoney

+1 A few years back I picked up a DJ from a reputable secondary market. I don't have an expansive collection, and it is my most expensive piece. T_Dog
+1 Why not. That's why. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 It's one of only a few tools we have access to right now, so it is great compared to nothing. I agree that Felix stepped up their game quite a bit and has made my life much better, but... T_Dog
+1 If he is the rainmaker, you are in deep trouble. Otherwise, you are good   Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Unclear if they blatantly rigged this or if money in politics can prod the cattle along so blatantly. We are probably heading for a political revolution. usernameladiesman217

+1 Have you tried therapy and dating my guy? What a sad little boy you must be based on your post history WSOBURNER69

+1 Bro's acting like making NTM EV / EBITDA charts is rocket science gtfo  yopierre
+1 Good luck, but just want to say that if you don’t work at a fund that has enough scale/resources to get big in a name, you’re screwed. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 Lots of “Dr. appointments”, “recruiting calls for intern and FT analysts”, and late nights studying. Some firms are more flexible than others about letting people take personal calls/leave for appointments. ks3257
+1 Rising sophomore at a different school - be active around campus. Join clubs, do competitions, go out, don't stay in and scroll reels all the time. snal
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, hedge funds like C/P72 often rely on a combination of advanced modeling techniques, alternative data sources, and deep industry insights to predict earnings deltas with precision. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Honestly, if you value sleep and being able to take care of yourself / have a social life outside of work, IB / large cap PE is not for you. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 it's a bad option for 99% of people because 99% of people aren't good enough to even get in. of those who do, 50-60% aren't good enough to stay in more than a few years. Prospect in Research - FI
+1 My whole mental model going in was that commodities is a "golden ticket" industry  hard to get into, but career-defining once you're in. he_return
+1 If the team happens to be casual dress, then would you go in casual too instead of whole suit and tie monkey2145773
+1 Post is a good one for engaging users with what's been going on in the world. In my view there are two reasons that created a cycle where Jews head the world of finance: 1. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Harvard is the leading university of the American Empire which has spread its culture to every corner of the globe. Oxford was the leading university of the British Empire which did the same. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 Call up Jefferies, Lincoln International, Houlihan, Piper Sandler and all the other banks that deal with "storied" and "misunderstood" names. VP in Research - FI
+1 deleted warsteiner
+1 OP Here - I don't disagree, but I think you are looking one-step further then I am...I am thinking about how to even get into the space to be around the people I can learn from to then figure out how to cultivate an edge, Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Hey man, at 25/30 you are really not in a great position for a top MSc. I suggest to leverage the Bocconi undergrad brand and apply to jobs/internships for a while, do a solid GMAT and reapply to grad school after. internationalst
+1 You network, apply, and interview like any other job.  IsItREPE

+1 Thank you for sharing your thoughts here and I’d tend to agree with you (am from a rural part of the states) that a good portion of his voting base will follow him around doing whatever he says, not seeing the direct contr seekinthealpha1
+1 Writing was on the wall the minute he pushed for accountability for the epstein files.  Protecting pedophiles is a pretty key part of the GOP platform bigbob123

+1 Any rbc group Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 No need to disclose it. It’s 2026; most people, especially under 35, won’t think twice about it. If anything, depending on the role, some people may view it strong (sourcing/BD roles). Analyst 1 in PE - Growth
+1 Sorry friend. You are MORE important than those acq/dev losers. jmr206
+1 OP here, comp is low $200s and no equity. It’s good experience seeing the whole business and working cross functionally, but a lot of pressure at the executive level for what feels like not enough comp. Director in CorpFin
+1 BMO and TD Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Lol who said he had to work at a MF/MM sweatshop? Plenty of buyside seats (especially in PC space) that offer substantial carry potential + solid wlb (~55 hr weeks) rolo25

+1 I recruited FT last summer. FT technicals significantly more challenging than SA Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 I spent 10 years in MBB. Office selection matters, but not because there’s some magical “less competitive” office. The real question is where you have the cleanest story and the strongest recruiting channel. Ex-consultant in Tech
+1 At a MM. We have Gemini and co-pilot firm wide. Currently in pilot stage for Claude but being rolled out firm wide. Think they are going to switch over to Claude. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I think quant funds have a high base but lower pnl linkage, even for fairly senior but non-partner people. cp5670

+1 Craig this is straight up lies and propaganda. Are you also a dual loyalty "American"? anonymous investor
+1 Happens in IB all the time as performance is subjective and not tied to P&L. DEI made a lot of these shady relationships kosher as they can disguise them under mentorship Director in IB - Cov
+1 how do you network with other people at other banks while an intern? Prospect in S&T - FI
+1 Thanks for the fun facts lil bro Intern in IB - Gen

+1 Yes but building a model from scratch is a great way to learn the model itself. franker014124
+1 Associate 1 in RE - Comm CRE
+1 Depending on the corporate job, could be reasonable, but nobody really takes on IB just for the immediate pay, more so for the opportunities it opens and the network is provides. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 no clue Intern in IB - DCM
+1 It's more bank dependant than group dependant I think. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Think I read a WSJ article earlier this year about zombie funds and they quoted Onex multiple times…. asdf1248
+1 Larger deals at a well known corporate will likely be more complex and you will have to partner with many groups internally and externally. It would be easier to network with bankers through that context. birdhouse890
