+1 I'm not sure if these posts are trolls? EQT, at least in Germany, is arguably one of the most sweatiest/toxic funds. Never heard anything good coming out of there. It is k*ss your a** goodbye kind of environment.  Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 Incoming analyst (already did SA) in CLT who grew up on Long Island (like 25 miles from Manhattan). I think the city is honestly great for people in your early 20’s. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov

+1 Trust me if I could’ve stopped it I would’ve. It was not a conscious decision. analyzinganalyst
+1 I’m curious to hear why you think this has no chance of succeeding. There are plenty of examples where founders started small and rolled into much larger funds. I don’t think they are aiming to become MLP or P72. abracadabra345
+1 (1) i would prefer bar > apps every day of the week - never understood why this one gets hate; if you're a girl in your 20s what else do you do on fri/sat night? Wish_I_HadTrustFund

+1 If you are currently still in school, your university goes on the top. If you have graduated, then you put work experience first and move education down.  Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 Same thing I’ve heard for Tishman Speyer - are the majority just being pushed out? because of tough times? Developer in RE - Comm
+1 i go to a similar NESCAC. no nepo, no sport but ended up getting an offer. i think the connections i had were useful but surely not at the same level as you would expect. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov

+1 Holy dyal does not belong in S- whoooo
+1 Accurate but touch grass Any 2 IB - Cov.
+1 What is AEC advisors? Why is Eastdill Securities up there? Its a RE banking Firm that basically lose deals to JPM, BofA, Wells REGAL groups.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 In the bullpen at my bank, the MDs with kids at NESCACs (or some bush league liberal arts schools like Hobart, frankin and marshall, haverford, etc. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Thank you for the incredibly thoughtful response. Essentially all of your aforementioned points align with why I'm leaning towards making the pivot (as well as echo what I've heard from others in the space). Associate 3 in PE - Growth
+1 Can only speak on the US. I would pick Rutgers. I'm pretty sure if you lock in there IB is possible. Idt Umass has a consistent IB pipeline. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 .. starwars1234
+1 GS Chi only has IND, CMG (mm focus), and FIG which is smaller Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Dude Ik exactly who you're talking about lmao. Cannot stand those types of videos Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 I did REFM, it was alright for basics and really heavy on waterfall modeling, but I didn’t feel like it really gave you the ability to go from blank excel sheet to full blown functional model. samstidham
+1 Yes, $3k is actually absurd, and would caution very highly DO NOT pay that if you are an AN1. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 I don’t know if it would be transferrable experience but something I would definitely do if you were a teller. NPV
+1 Incoming SA and should I be concerned? I don’t wanna starve😭 Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 bankerbuddy498 Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 Have some friends at ES, have heard it’s a sweatshop with hours in the 60-80 range. That being said, phenomenal shop with (arguably) the best training and fantastic exit opps. CREMonkeyz
+1 You think aligning logos has less margin of error than capturing a president? Sober up dude.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Do you actually believe they're not a threat? We spend 30% of the budget on pure handouts to people who dont work but you cant spare 0.2% to topple one of the most dangerous anti-american regimes in tbe world?  SnoopyIB
+1 Secure offer in writing and tell the other place in 6-12 months that you have some extenuating circumstances and can no longer do banking  Intern in IB - Gen

+1 We must be thinking of the same people.  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Pretty accurate thinkpad_1739
+1 Roger that, prospective student Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+1 Seems like an awesome outcome lmao. You get a great junior internship for a FT job, but can go back home for sophomore summer and spend time with your family / friends. Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 From what I heard from a friend last year who did the hirevue was that the questions were technical so you have to focus on that only and its mostly basic stuff, but you should expect a curveball in terms of difficulty. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1  - More individual (vs. team-based) work --> I'm an extrovert who generally enjoys teamwork, but the personalities in PE (extreme neuroticism, even compared to IB) makes me lean more individual Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 "optimizing your path to recruit at these funds is not a good plan as you essentially need to be at the right place in the right time." Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Exactly. Data is the name of the game here. Think first step for you should be running scripts to get your internal data (whether on BBG or drive) into SQL databases ASAP. crownsforkings22
+1 I will become a prostitute.  Instead of fucking staffers, I'll just fuck clients.  Honestly better given more visibility to my pay.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 “Incoming SA at a BB” is enough to land a local boutique Analyst0910
+1 No what I mean is if pershing sq hires 1 kid from GS and KKR every 5yrs, don’t make it your life mission to get that seat and think your life is over if you don’t get it… plenty of great funds that hire w/o that background Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Senior guy at a small local boutique. With AI we are already seeing the ability to replace 25% of the analysts, namely the bad ones. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 So here's the deal: not a single HireVue has been the same. I have heard from friends from semi-target to target that they had simple behavioral questions. snapvelocity
+1 I am quite frustrated with the sheer amount of people I must churn through (and time I thus waste) to find just one who is remotely aligned with me. Ozymandia
+1 bamboozlednincompoop Ozymandia
+1 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀I would argue NYC real estate is probably among the top 5 largest instances of money laundering in the world. London as well.  Ozymandia
+1 Is this a Lawrence of Arabia reference lol?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 . incrementalalpha
+1 I am so confused by your post/thread.  Seems your bigger issue won't be getting overtime approved; the bigger issue is your ineffective communication skills.  Pulisic69
+1 If you’re going to defend this you cannot use historical justification. What current things, as in right now and today, does Iran do to us, to where we need to be involved in this conflict? seekinthealpha1
+1 Really depends on the office. Top offices are SF LA and NYC. All the other offices don’t work that much and prob work more on top IS teams at JLL etc. [email protected]
+1 Charlotte is ass.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You do realize Iranian proxies such as Hezbollah are active in Latin America working for the cartels. The Houthis bomb international ships in the red sea and the straight of hormuz. Matchabee
+1 Arabs hated the US and the West long before they intervened in the 1973 Yom Kippur war though. The US has interests in keeping the sea channels to flow freely though and not be filled with Islamic Jihadists. Matchabee
+1 They recruited from my business school and had an associate a few years ahead of me come along with a partner and analyst. Very nice. Very put together. Very sweaty from what the associate told me. modafman1
+1 RUN!!! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Chill out Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 By TPH, do you mean the energy group of PWP based in Houston/Calgary? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You only say this because you want America to fight israel's war. LockedIn Bezos
+1 Thanks so much! Just wanted to ask some things about your reply. CLeclerc16
+1 It’s likely the same guy who’s been shitting on Gugg all over this forum in the same manner. DelusionalDave
+1 Iraq!!! starwars1234
+1 Maple Sirup Slurper......... GordonGekko87
+1 Disagree, it depends on what you want to get out of it. If you think it’s NYC , it’s not. It is cheaper than NYC however and is a lot more amenable to suburban lifestyle Enforcier
+1 So it’s Israel’s fault that ISIS terrorists decided to bomb European Christmas markets and concerts where there were 0 Jews and Israelis?  Matchabee
+1 The number one reason why there's so many Muslims in Europe is because of the wars israel started LockedIn Bezos
+1 Osama Bin laden said that the reason he did the hole 911 thing was israel(mostly) LockedIn Bezos
+1 Maple Sirup SlurperThe number one reason why there's so many Muslims in Europe is because of the wars israel started GordonGekko87
+1 Iran hates America because it supports israel. I haven't heard any middle eastern country say death to Canada or Poland. LockedIn Bezos
+1 You guys see recent UBS news cutting dinner expense? Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Can’t remember details now, but they were things I’d never even heard of. Extremely niche and complex aerospace crap. modafman1
+1 financeabc PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 $20 HR for interns which makes up 3/4 of their analysts is the real answer. Great sophomore yr internship but not much else unless you die by living in grand rapids. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Couple of questions: Determined
+1 No idea for S&T at a BB, but I can share my personal experience as an intern at an IB boutique where anything over 40 hours a week needs approval from HR. Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+1 Also in cap intro. You are 100% spot on Intern in ER
+1 I disagree,  but I guess it depends on what you define as significantly. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's how you might approach this decision: Chattanooga Apprenticeship: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 I agree that Iran is not Iraq, it's a much more serious foe than Iraq ever was. Sharky286
+1 This is not a straightforward answer and you certainly shouldn't be letting this decision to a poll by strangers in a chatroom. Anonymous Monkey
+1 Go for it. You're not "transitioning". You just had one summer internship. Anonymous Monkey
+1 Drop gugg down. move Lazard up. Otherwise right. Source: A1 at pjt/evr Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 More black-mailed US government officials? More US citizens money going to support Israeli families? More US state goons getting training from Israelis? More dual-nationals in top clearance roles? pjm.priv
+1 Tip: headhunters are leeches  weezyfbaby
+1 9am-2am everyday (not so much on weekend but expect 6 hours across sat and sun) random_in_lm
+1 If I were you, I would probably bump up that budget and target trendy neighborhoods in Manhattan. For example, I loved hanging out in the LES / East Village area in my early 20s with friends on weekends. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Barclays.  HandlerDick
+1 Because of idiots like you we ended up with DEI in first place Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Problem is most of them have no clue what it is. A girl once thought my friend at KKR actually worked for Kelloggs.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 We should return to war in the Middle East because a middle eastern nation is angry at us for murdering their neighbors and/or distant relatives under provable false pretenses (weapons of mass destruction) Matchabee
+1 Based on my experience, banks hire laterally at the Analyst and Associate level. sultanoflondon
+1 How about just doing your job and collecting the money and then you can do whatever the hell you want later earthwalker7
+1 It’s probably not relevant anymore but European LevFin team is strong and seeing good exits both for buy side and other banks. Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
