+1 Up to you, but if ur at Middlebury, they place lights out at GS at a per capita rate far above Cornell and a lot of other top schools. tappedintonothing
+1 Practical advice is to develop a stock pitch (a for real stock pitch). Read up some pitches on Value Investor Club to see what a good one looks like. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 LMAOOOOO 😂😂 Prospect in IB-M&A

+1 bump monkeyblues
+1 Could you elaborate? bankerbag
+1 Congrats on UBS! IWorkMoreHours
+1 This is comical. Call your VP a misogynist because he’s giving you work lmao. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Alphasights is by far the best from a quality standpoint, no questions asked, but would imagine a lot more expensive than others, so kind of comes down to how much marginally better they are vs marginal cost (which I am no Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Thank you very much for linking the guide and your pointers on what to avoid— will definitely take into account! That being said, I would also like to ask you to please approach with a little bit more empathy. sock@girrafe
+1 Insightful, how would you think about PS in terms of exits? Domodomo
+1 This is one of the most helpful comments I've seen on this site, thank you. Any chance you can opine on the smaller firms below? All for NYC area  hc8765
+1 lol bro it's kinda full over there i dont think they need to convince you with that half-assed motivation biscuitsandgravery
+1 Thanks so much for this — especially the tier breakdown and the point that interview prep matters more than the differences between these programs. That's a useful reframe. juicecake
+1 Not a recruiter or expert by any means so take this all with a grain of salt. From my understanding what you put on your LinkedIn is relatively subjective and people will say different things. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 It’s not really about them getting mad it’s more so I’m not tryna hear the lecture, and having to justify myself withdrawing with me getting an offer that they just won’t understand is prestigious. But I get your point. WalterWhite21
+1 If so I almost understand this IR issue… JL is a 10/10 Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 del VanillaMan24
+1 SWs are very important imo, but at the same time if you don’t get one it will not be the end of the world - rather more of an uphill battle then it otherwise would have been. lonesomesquirrel
+1 congrats on UBS bobj789
+1 Hybrid is more subordinated debt (ie deep mezz on sponsor deals) and structured growth equity at scale. There is still senior / unitranche in Asia with global sponsors ex Japan given banks are cheap Research Analyst in HF - Event
+1 No, sorry. Burke
+1 I think there's been a huge misconception of how ready the IRGC are to wage war and despite a lot of their leadership being killed and their replacements being killed, they decentralised their operations effectively to kee unders
+1 175 Works at DivcoWest Real Estate Investments
+1 Definitely. Allies don't even want to be involved because they just know better. Looks and sounds like Trump was the sucker who got scammed into it and is only now realizing it. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+1 I've been where you are with quitting tobacco, and honestly, swapping out habits made a huge difference for me. I was a dipper for years and found that breaking the routine was just as important as battling the nicotine. Hanlon
+1 bump! - from what I heard you don't progress quickly (app. promotions have been frozen and lack of work going around at accenture only) at all not until 3 years and stuck on same base for 3 years but hey PM me! mrgogetit
+1 Interesting insights, thanks. What is WLB like across these firms? When you say that French bank comp is "pretty bad", what does that look like? I imagine that worse comp would correlate to fewer hours worked. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 What are they giving for mid bucket Intern in IB-M&A
+1 anyone hear back after r1?  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 From the strategic side of things, I presume the hope (originally) was to give the Iranians a quick and decisive thrashing over a week or so: destroy their nuclear sites, kill their leadership, and then go back to the nego newtown_creek_superfund
+1 There are smart kids at every school. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 iber/Digital Infra valuation. Multiples are high, but the regulatory overhang is becoming the primary driver of exit risk. grant.mitchell
+1 Associate 3 in IB - GenScandals never hurt banks in the medium to long-term, fine em and move on...it's all headlines. Analyst 2 in S&T - Equities
+1 In the arms of the angels war dog
+1 60 - 75 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You're not knocking anything out of the park by strawmanning and discrediting something entirely different. Raijin
+1 Top 20 in prestige lmfao you people are insane VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Western addiction treatment is moronic because it puts the bulk of the work on the individual and not the environment. Daemon145
+1 Be cautious about making accusations like "you people" without starting to sound coy.  ohyeahfinnancé
+1 If your parents are angry about you dropping a class in order to secure a six figure salary right out of college (and that college was paid for by a scholarship) then they are being unreasonable. seekinthealpha1
+1 Just an anecdote but I know some very qualified people that went down this route and were shocked at how competitive it has become to find and buy a somewhat decent business. It sounds pretty brutal. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Thought exercise: What happens if Jefferies goes bankrupt  theshotgunthebriefcase
+1 If you don’t care about exits Perella is a much better place to be. Culture is significantly better there and nowhere near as bad as JPM. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 hardo alert! fillerm
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's how to approach your decision: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Likely some woman accepted the offer  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 It's coy because you are making accusations "you people" and you're very adamant that it's not top 20. I have no stake in the theory just denoting the factions.  ohyeahfinnancé
+1 Faction in the colloquial sense not political ohyeahfinnancé
+1 HIG is open to promoting internally to VP+ without MBA, not sure where you got the above comment Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Adamant and coy are separate thoughts here. It isn't serendipitous that I used both. I was being the opposite of coy in the use of that syntax. I'm curious but yes have no stake in the theory. ohyeahfinnancé
+1 Have a blessed evening brother VP in PE - LBOs
+1 and without mentioning F.ive A.rrows G.rowth Partners... SageKellyjr
+1 Chill she's just an affiliate partner lmfao Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 This is well thought out and written - I appreciate commentary like this in these forums.  Addinator
+1 Bump, gl LendingFanatic1
+1 I'm not sure I follow. If it's one of the brand name multi strats, can't think of which this could be. monk_of_the_land
+1 Generally agree most analysts aren’t paid shit - the deal is that they get paid shit wages but get mentorship and experience in exchange for doing the shit work no one wants to do. patrick_bateman_
+1 read the title and didn't bother with the text. Don't do it  I tell people that really want to not to do it, so for you, no way. bleep
+1 Real firm with a decent rep. Run into them on deals. Don't know anything about their WLB or comp, unfortunately.  arkman
+1 EOD you’re entitled to your opinion, I can brush off anonymous comments on WSO. To get on your high horse and act like you’re doing anyone any favors on this forum is disingenuous at best and comical to a degree. dantheman_1_01_01
+1 lecom infrastructure deals. The valuation is obviously there, but the deal execution risk is increasingly tied to regulatory speed. grant.mitchell
+1 REPE? Credit? LifeCo? Acq/AM? YOE? Location? SSN? Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 The good thing the admin has done: radicalize gen Z beyond belief. Corp_titan
+1 She was also a terrible candidate. She would've done bad, but not nearly as bad as trump did. he had us all fooled including me pbwind2024
+1 🤡🤡 skdkcnc198456
+1 Appreciate the breakdown. What are you weighing when comparing policies on both sides? I think that’s where the real misalignment between you and me lies.  Determined
+1 In his first presidency he was surrounded by competent people who contained him. Sharky286
+1 Cornball “HBO Industry” larper. “Thats literally me”🤓 as an intern chadmaxxer
+1 Missed that this is for FT. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Perella and not close. Significantly higher comp (almost 2x lmao) with better culture. Will get same experience they have a ton of deal flow in HC. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Stay away from powder, adderall, and energy drinks. Seems difficult when everyone at your desk is taking a 40 mg Vyvance M-Friday, but if you need, just stick to coffee & Zyn. rolo25
+1 Is that 50+ physical books or e-books a year? If yes, good for you - that's a solid achievement. Deo et Patriae
+1 I was a Princeton undergrad, but took many of the MFin classes there, as they were cross-listed for undergrads under ECO/ORF. I found them all very topical and they definitely helped me in recruiting. Research Analyst in Research - Other
+1 Is it possible for coverage to go to PC? And how if so? Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+1 Not really, time better spent networking doobeedoobeedoo
+1 This has to be troll and, if not, it's not a concern that is high leverage for my engagement.  PEPrincess
+1 Analyst 2 in IB - Gen: Congrats on UBS! case and point Intern in IA
+1 Working in public markets is not for soft hands like yours.  longandshort
+1 U think others are nice? Lemme tell u a story, when we were doing summer internship and a friend did not get return, many just chose not to talk to that person anymore, these ppl are way worse than not nice. eatbanana1234
+1 Not crying because you remember 100 people from your undergrad alone who wanted your seat and didn’t get it  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Every year or two they would send around an updated PDF at a couple of schools introducing Abdiel, and our investment club would send it around. AfterCarry
+1 Intern in IB - Cov Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Was just in the same scenario but for US and took the T1 LO offer from one of the places you mentioned. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah this is troll. rooseveltfan
+1 Good question although I’m not sure the delineation holds up. BX and KKR just staff more lean in the buyout midlevel, so I’d be more confident moving up at those platforms than the other two. flipcup
+1 I don't speak french but I do have a European citizenship  L.O.H.
+1 bump, have an offer for bnp afs for sa27, would love to know more about that group, comp, hours, culture, etc. ty! jaart

+1 Accurate rooseveltfan
+1 4-8 books/yr. exclusively non fiction. Most time spent reading online - articles/research papers/reports, I am a big fan of reading insight pieces and industry advancements. spreadsheeter
+1 Yes and no. Banking has a massive advantage in experience in just the sheer number of reps you do, and often people who do a stint in banking come out much stronger than their peers who did a stint in PE first. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 How many companies can you realistically have time to write meaningful 1-pagers on? Its a bit of a law of large numbers in terms or PE reach out. Rob-the-chimp
+1 Got me an interview at a large shop. The partner basically gave me the run down and showed me the correspondence his group had with AC - they brand your resume with their logo and basically spam the firm. nove
+1 ready to run through a wall CharlesCheese
+1 One side effect that has a pos and neg angle that's been under-discussed  therealgekko
