Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Echo above. Not as large of a bank as guy above it seems but my team is a credit group. Underwriting/executing and have many exits to notable PC platforms or internally to LevFin. Even LMM PE Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 i dont think they will get fired for the cringe photoshoot itself (although it is cringe make no mistake), but it just really shows poor judgement, unnecessary vanity and just too much time on their hands lol. biscuitsandgravery
+1 Not crazy if ur non overtime is slightly above 50 braxtonberrios
+1 Analyst for a debt broker, we close ~1.5 per month, average check size ~$20MM. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 I would put “summer analyst” or “fall analyst”, I wouldn’t put intern. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I think the way to play it and someone will is to pitch it as a trained AI black box model which has been trained with 100s (more?) hours of the founders who need to be serious pe investors time. Senior VP in PE - Other
+1 Honestly it's still pretty late to be starting even as a sophomore, you would have needed to be networking soph fall as many offers have already gone out. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Refer to my response below. But the one sentence summary is I wish I was more prepared on commercial questions. TBDZ
+1 I answered this question in one of my reply previously. In SEA I'd say KKR, TPG, CVC, and WP are the 4 most active MFs. TBDZ
+1 Hi there, The practice for MFs now is they, almost 100% of the time, hire only junior levels (analyst and associate), or only very senior people if they want to poach some dealmaker. TBDZ
+1 So many incredible characters in it too. I wish they had more seasons. I rarely rewatch shows and now after reading this comment, I want to start this show again lol. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 If you want numbers - I know about 10 women who do what I do, in investing in a specific hf niche. Of the 10, 4 have involved employment lawyers at some point for things similar to what I described. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I really wanna say PJT lol. RSSG is deservedly elite, you could say M&A is rlly good etc, but those aren't the only two groups at the firm, and the rest are somewhat lacking. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 My take on why there's far more women in PE than HF is more structural (although the stories above are very real and those situations do happen). About 20-30 years ago, girls started to get the same opportunities as boys. Quant in HF - Other
+1 nah bro, I'm at an actual EB with dealflow and good trajectory that pays better than PWP. Congrats on PWP, though - the UBS of EBs Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Yeah got a lot of advice that I internalized, but they might have been lenient. I'm trying to find people who I can trust to interview but not being in a top club is hard to find those people. idkwhatimdoing123
+1 Yes exactly they are analysts on the same deal team and they log off completely when they go home (has never responded to pings) and when I confront them about it they just say they’ve been going through a lot and don’t ne Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Ready for all the downvotes given this forum is mostly prospects and interns who are scared of DEI and of women.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Currently watching Industry.  Also watched Billions.  Vardalon
+1 Watched both of those.  Vardalon
+1 I think that’s actually about advertising.  Vardalon
+1 Nobodies mentioned The Associate, or Working Girl.  Or Capital, which is actually a French film.  Vardalon
+1 There was also the Canadian show Traders.  Not sure if you can find it anywhere now, though.  Vardalon
+1 Are you tring to say a woman did a sharpe of 2, lost her bonus to a man with sharpe of 0.8, and doesn't get recognized?  dcccc
+1 do you think someone will commute for an hour to make your lunch slop bowl for min wage? Let’s use our brains here Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Thanks make sense! I think we might have graduated the same year (or 1 year apart) Kudos to you for the jump! olamiemie
+1 afdhfgWhere performance is actually important, actually generating money, there is no room for diversity BS. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 m_1Associate 1 in PE - LBOs Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 It is usually a sliding scale depending on investor size, but being 15-20% over a 6% is pretty typical for a high yield fund. Most of the firms that focus on core debt do it for fees only. CRE Credit
+1 Well said  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 In terms of prestige and outcomes, hsg and bocconi are MUCH higher tier than RSM. Milan and Switzerland aren't exactly cheap though.  Qwentin8
+1 Graduating early is not helpful for finance since the timelines are pretty rigid. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 This is so not true, international can still say no and slack if they are analyst and leave after 2 years of banking since laying off anyone will need to pay them 6-7 months of salary - I am an international w green card a Intern in IB - Gen
+1 if you are asso and want to stay in banking long term then sure, but for analysts who are going to buyside, no need to grind at all and anybody say have to is harming you in the long term. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 orked with a few of these, and the biggest bottleneck is always compliance speed. GT and Stonehaven are massive, which sometimes means 5-10 day turnarounds. For independent dealmakers, that speed kills deals. jasper.thorne1
+1 +1 to this. My current manager on my project has a very social life it seems outside of work. She's awesome to work with and I don't mind going the extra mile for her when asked. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 I really don’t see a problem with it.   Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 So i didn't know they were in FIC, I assumed they were in O&A. In terms of culture, i cant say ive had any interactions with them, they all seem nice. Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 Survivorship bias is a thing. The question didn't specify just finance though even just limiting it to that universe you're wrong, but that's ok prospect.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 congrats on britehorn retard jewslayer1944
+1 waste_management_consultant JonnyDrama
+1 UBS baiscally had no women across at all levels and women are amongst the first to get laid off. Anti DEI if anything. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Know Parthenon has an office there and Trintum is a ~$1bn fund based in Austin. The largest firms in Austin are all tech investing in different flavors so not as ideal if not interested in tech. Vista is tech buyout. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Actually by the responses on this post, Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 What type of bank are you at? BB, MM, EB? That will determine what kind of exit op you can get. Won’t lie PE is very similar to IB, and the WLB isn’t great. Same with MBB consulting. Analyst0910
+1 delete Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Congrats on UChicago Penguin2006
+1 $35 dinner, ubers after 8  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 insert customary congratulations on UBS comment Jokes aside, bump, hope you get some good responses LendingFanatic1
+1 Would say there is a unique disdain for Moelis on this forum among its EB peers and few shills (sweatshop lol)  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 IB might be better as all cash comp and easier to move up  midwest_analyst
+1 What do you suggest instead? Too late for tech and consulting is even worse with DEI and simply not a fit for me I think  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Honestly the branding isn’t that great and you lose 4 years learning not so much Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Grizzled guy bumping this for those studying. EV is up 100 because you gained $100 in operating assets (the PP&E). Debt is up 100 because you issued 100 in debt. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 It's possible but it really depends what other schools you're weighing it against. Stern alums will be focused on the tidal wave of Stern alumns emailing them. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 I get the sentiment, but I am also not of the belief that WE have to be the ones abandoning the great cities just because of the bottom 20% of society. JulianRobertson
+1 The peak exit is to move to a LCOL country once you reach your desired/necessary net worth and chill for the rest of your life playing GTA VI, not a HF. Pro Veritate
+1 Definitely not too late, I've seen guys make the move in their 40s. Just keep trying. MMPM
+1 Czechia, Poland, Slovakia, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia all have a much higher quality of life than anywhere in the US or Western Europe. Keep coping mw1337
+1 Yeah, would probably agree with that sentiment. There's always the chance that this will be like '08 for TPG, and they do end up recovering, but I think that's impossible to underwrite as a junior. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" studentmonkey101
+1 right... liberal arts Ivy students get these roles because of their "skills." Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr
+1 CEO or regional head of a major firm pays well. Amusingly, at that point, you’re also essentially doing your own deals.  CRE
+1 Moelis is overrated as fuck. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Better be some good reasons, is the under performance between a few concentrated investments? Struggle to see a story LP’s would accept. [email protected]
+1 could be wrong so if anyone from IU wants to chime in feel free too, but non IBW break in just fine into IB if thats your ultimate goal — just not top groups. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 If you graduate early, you will not place in PE. Firms aren’t impressed you’re doing it early — you’re expected to beat out older competitors just the same. Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 I’m all for making fun of women or any group for that matter but this critique is completely stupid and reeks of the ‘tism. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yes that’s for sure the goal to bring in my own deals and use my producer for credibility and grey hair. Analyst 2 in RE - Res
+1 Becky spotted ^ Principal in IB - Cov
+1 It's very selective. They only take 25 people per year. Taught in English I believe but the cohort is all French so you're at a disadvantage even if you get in. Goj5979
+1 Def a good UMM bank from what I've heard. Not sure about the groups specifically but culture is nice! IceCreamCake
+1 That's a terrific fairytale of what you'd like to see. It's a stark contrast from the actual actions of the current administration. And don't mistake the trump administration to be moving within a vacuum. FinnesseGod
+1 Looking back, I made the move from MBB > PC. If I could go back I would try to go into PE first (modelling and general commercial learning seems to be magnitudes higher). First_Lien_Larry
+1 Clearly very solid but S&T grad roles are few and far between, I'd still recommend applying to summer internships or off-cycles if you have graduated already.  leefbmp
+1 I (somehow) got an interview with Selby, but can confirm they are the worst. Have heard horror stories subsequently with others and would never risk interacting with them again. Same for AC as well as Dartmouth. Broketree Capital
+1 Typically carry is awarded during fundraise but some funds tie it to promotions or allocate annually. You have a solid case to get carry in the current fund if they expect you to work on new deals or portcos in that fund. PEanon
+1 Bumping given the Eterna spin-off: which fund would you rather be at, the legacy PE or the new tech? flipcup
+1 As a Chicagoan, I must add that Chicago is a perfect mix of fun and affordability (assuming you can handle the cold coming from the north east) ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 Kipps, Raymond James, and Baird are your big three players focused on Gov and Defense. Other banks grab mandates here and there but are likely to be less attractive assets. anonfinance1
+1 You should look to start out in Trade Support,  Trade Settlement, and Market Risk roles.  Substack_Guy
+1 You will not be underpaid at Citadel. Sorry, I'm not willing or able to divulge further on personalities. Although worth mentioning that Edwin Lim - perhaps still on sabbatical - has a great reputation. Burke
+1 Its a target by now, and Dartmouth is full of nepos but that seemingly doesnt matter to how its perceived.  Atlcalling
+1 I think the problem is these guys come across as absolute chodes and they're publicly tying themselves to working at the bank. NuclearPenguins
+1 You could also test them and argue for 'shadow carry' to make you whole and bridge you to the fundraise (which would probably be more work to set-up and less tax advantaged than giving you real carry). SaaSChimp
+1 I hear good things about Solomon especially the consumer group. Great place to get exposure, amazing culture. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Just join a unicorn bro alex50
+1 GOATed show, not about finance tho. jarstar1
+1 Mayb your carry might suck for a little, but the asset class is here to stay. It’s like of like asking if banking is dead post-2008 (not that we are seeing a GFC level scenario here. We’re not) mullah123
+1 People that say AI will never replace humans are coping in my opinion. evcfluminense
+1 A very small minority. And those who could/do have this lifestyle certainly aren’t just answering phone calls and golfing. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Use apollo.io to find his email address and send him a message Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Happy to help, most BBs (except my own) I think are ok if you're final year but I suppose even if you are, summer '26 is already done. leefbmp
+1 Repeat offenders of violent crime. If you find a cop that has falsified evidence the number of times that some of the NYC bums have violently assaulted someone then yes, add them to the list. lake_michigan
+1 ryanyorkmanOn that note, Emory >>>>>> UGA>Gtech SECfinance
+1 From a life experience perspective, I would have 100% jumped at the opportunity to work abroad in my 20's. If you don't like it, you can just move back. 9percent
+1 Its definitely a FO role and it's good program. If ur interested in quant finance its great place to start Associate 1 in S&T - FI
+1 Juniors are cross staffed across coverage and m&a despite there being 2 recruiting paths mediumrare
+1 MFPE - A2: 200k base, 250k bonus I think we raised our first year associate comp to 175k / 100% bonus floor Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Congrats on 1500 Sqft Townhome Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
