+1 ARGUS Helpline is your best friend: 1-888-692-7487.  Never had a question they couldn't answer.  asmith_1
+1 yeah those two things are not a coincidence and are in fact highly correlated.  "if we don't pay him, he'll leave" "he can't leave, the job market is ass rn" "oh so dont pay him lol.  when's our tee time?" asmith_1

+1 Sometimes the weaker acquirer has the extremely rare corporate asset: self awareness  leftcoastlenny

+1 So you're telling me I spent 4 years grinding at target school, networking events, case comps, 3 internships... and this person outsourced their MBA to Fiverr?  Analyst Ficc
+1 where are you going? no_home_jerome
+1 What you're describing here is "tall poppy syndrome," which isn't unique to hedge fund contexts and men aren't the sole perpetrators of it. PEPrincess
+1 I can't believe a discussion like this generated so much engagement.  Pulisic69
+1 Good point here, allow me to rephrase: "most people don't have much sympathy for social pressures for people above X age." You're well into adulthood, have some personal agency and take some personal initiative to achieve PEPrincess
+1 Might as well make it 8 days at that point VP in IB - Cov
+1 Re-read my original response. Forget your life, the trajectory of **your family**, your entire bloodline... you're going to let it hinge on one number on your resume? WestPeaker69
+1 Millions of people died during COVID and this is what we get? A disgrace Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 If you beat Ramzi in ping pong heard you get axed. Is that true? Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Did the same thing with no repercussions Intern in IB - Gen
+1 comp touches 400k as ASO1. Culture is rough. you invest across the capital stack so it's interesting what stage are you at? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 funnily enough i have also heard the same about HL. all the mm sponsor mills have a rep of this to some degree or another Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 When you start asking whether it’s time to leave, it’s probably time to leave jimbofisher55
+1 Most likely, this will be a 2010 Obama type result. 50-60 seats lost, multiple senate seats. If the Senate map wasn't extremely advantaged to Trump, he'd lose that easily.  usernameladiesman217
+1 The Republicans / GOP deserve to lose the midterm election. Maybe they will produce sane centrist candidates for 2028 then.  NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Honestly if you’re mid-20s and the role is better than what you had before, I’d probably take it. Going from unemployed back into the industry you want, with a promotion and higher pay, is already a win. alexthomass
+1 Bumping this to see if anyone has more recent insight into how the credit platform has evolved over the last few years under Pablo Salame. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 JEF has always been Bear Stearns maxxing Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Must be the tism  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 its funny to read out loud the 'solve to purchase price' because when things were hot, we had to start with the highest number possible for purchase price otherwise there was no way we'd be competitive. pere797
+1 Not yet, do you know if anyone heard? BTNY1296
+1 For federal surely you know you have to hold for 5 years - for state totally dependent on their rules so no idea how to answer just talk to someone at novoco with experience in your specific state. brosephstalin
+1 I think back to what was said in the beginning of the job, if those things held in place or not. If they didn't follow through, was it the fault of the company/team or was it out of their control? Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 Front office (IB, S&T) recruiting is brutal and happens earlier and earlier each year (and recruiting is concentrated to a small subset of schools). PEPrincess
+1 Development is not as stable but it is intellectually stimulating. Brokerage seems like it's not stable, which is true, but it doesn't rely on as many economic factors as development does. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 It depends on your campus, but you can always circumvent the GPA cut off by networking and having someone from the firm refer you or pull you into the process. PEPrincess
+1 Uhh…have you read the news buddy tryyuav
+1 You won’t get cut because of your GPA but your resume also won’t get picked at random because of your GPA. Network.  tryyuav
+1 Wells Fargo is unironically paradise  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I mean that AUM needs to contract and pricing needs to go higher or the industry won't make more than its cost of capital. Basically every publicly traded credit vehicle trades at a discount to nav. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 bump + interested Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Sounds like a great opportunity, wonder if they are going to focus recruitment from the DC area Assist. VP in IB - Gen
+1 Well I can understand that. But if positions are so hard to come by, why are there no quality applicants? Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Saw somewhere they were looking from the top bulges so NYC/SF/LA definitely in play VP in IB - Cov
+1 IMO, no. You don't need to pretend your family lives there but you can make up some reason about the nature, the city, wanting to get out of NY and into a smaller city... Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 interested on others thoughts VP in IB - Cov
+1 Anyone have the link? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Yes, very possible with your background. I speak only for the EMEA region, however, during my recruiting experiences into and around FIG so take my opinion with a pinch of salt.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Here is the link to the 2026 CRE Annual Bonus Survey, hope this helps nontargetdemon
+1 How do you get in contact? Or is it only if H&S reaches out to you? The_Riddler
+1 How did you find your weaknesses? wso warrior

+1 Large LO >30B7YOE, all on buyside2024: base 145, bonus 1802025: base 155, bonus 195 Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 bump how is MBA 2+2 recruiting these days? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 RBC is very inclusive. Plenty of gays in the Calgary office  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You really have nothing better to be doing? Super weak comeback by the way. rolo25
+1 I think this is originally Stifels team so expect LMM deals  overlord481216
+1 He knows ball Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I heard back at 2 weeks, with a MM HF. I felt that was on the slower side too. buysidepanda
+1 Any degree program makes you an alumni. What doesn't count is those $5K online courses and Harvard Extension courses. Executive MBA is borderline, but counts.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 If you're dead set on commodities all the way then Geneva is the best city to be in. If you get a great traineeship then go for this option i think Revama69
+1 It's okay to be uncertain about your profession because you're still rather young. You can obtain employment in accounting, auditing, or finance with the "ACCA" qualification. dollyartasia
+1 It must be that guy who is a DB brand ambassador, who is an incoming summer analyst there. Wears pinstripe suits. Saying that he's working 80 hour weeks... He's at university still.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+1 Finance larpers are worse than AIDS curtisleeroy
+1 Be thankful it’s not 6 days in the office! Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 Sounds interesting in theory, but the strict 2-and-out nature + need to move to DC probably turns many people away who want to stay in top markets. $250k comp is actually pretty great for DC. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 They’re MM, OP is talking about”traditional BB”. And they’re going to crash too as their own RX is so shit they can’t help refinance themselves with those shit loans.  as-dfg-hjk
+1 That's what I did. Honestly, it wasn't easy. I was also recruiting during COVID. I ended up at a middle-market shop but probably could've gotten a BB in a normal market. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 It's really going to depend on the state. HTC-Guy
+1 There’s a number of assumptions in here about AI that I want to push back on. Will the hallucinations ever go away or is it baked into the design of an LLM? guyfromct
+1 How did he get like 9+ SW and more I sincerely don't understand afteryoualphonse
+1 you're a fucking jew how dare you monkey shit me Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Nowhere near as experienced as you, but also think people you work with also matters a lot in how you perceive specific deals to be interesting. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Really appreciate this thank you! habloyablo
+1 Yeah I met some NYU Stern kids once and I'm sure they all got good jobs, but it seemed like they were obsessed with finance and their placements lmao. Sup_Bro23
+1 Aren’t these guys killing it? They just had a monster exit this week and their last 2 funds are top quartile Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 suu Ozymandia
+1 Dyal has highest aura of all gkk1234
+1 This would be a great option for bankers who have deferred MBA admits or if banks agree to bring back bankers who left to do this secondment Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Decided not to pursue but still have option to do it. I didn’t want to be tied down to where I am and want to pursue something more interesting later so staying at my PE job for now. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Their entire MO has been do everything like JPM and GS and we will become them. That uhh hasnt happened  Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Got it.  Thanks for that.  Been in IB for a couple years and for many personal reasons have no interest in PE/PC route, although I've had a few opportunities. rolo25
+1 I can never understand why people ask these kind of questions but don't add any details.  mayoineko
+1 You sound like some of the MDs sons who go to regional colleges that they are hiring for internships Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah one of the main players in London VP in RE - Comm
+1 Sounds like a terrible partner. Need to work with experienced partners.  The experienced partners who know what they're doing often work less and get more deals done. AZ2222
+1 Just take interviews in the office. It's definitely not ideal but can use a huddle room or something for 30 minutes and dip out.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 It's Canadian, so, flaming.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Sheeesh bro on gawd this take got mogged frfr, and sent to the shadow realm whole thread is straight yappacino deluxe. Investment Analyst in AM - FI
+1 Yeah OCM team in London is good. Well I’m more concerned about the London/European than the US which is more or less a white space for them. davani1420
+1 please touch grass… [email protected]
+1 Interesting, I definitely see the value-add I could bring. The only concern for me is the valuation and modeling chops. willibzk
+1 No scrounging14
+1 rooms in basement in 2B are clutch for interviewing too. You can be logged in on a UBS desktop and keep your teams green, plus the risk of people from your group walking by is low. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Bump nontargetkidatunc
+1 depends on the bank gkk1234
+1 Getting into a big 5 in Canada is like factors more difficult than getting into a US BB.  Now factor in the substantially lower pay (esp after analyst/associate) and it's a pretty tough proposition Managing Director in IB - Gen
+1 should be fine imo, even BB's barely check gkk1234
