+1 Avoid at all costs! Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 I’d advise against this because nine out of ten times, students do not have legitimate deal experience, and it can make you look like a snob. rothschild44
+1 B/c regardless of how moronic NIMBYism can be at times, I don't think the federal govt should be coming in and overruling the will of a locality in which these projects [and their externalities] will exist. jmr206
+1 Absolutely would help, but would recommend going to a top school for brand name if you can afford it - purely to get your resume through the screeners Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 6k wtf Prospect in IB-M&A

+1 It's a community college in boston. reddemon
+1 Escp or HEC are worth it. Then second tier is Essec, but the 60% scholarship is quite good Prospect in Acct - Other
+1 I left before but I heard from my former colleagues that Numis is atrocious. Low quality people across the board and they are not integrated with the DB EMEA teams. It is a very different experience Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Take Zoloft. I did for ten years to survive a brutal feedback culture (not PE but psychologically worse). Keeps the tears at bay. Downside is it makes you a little slower. GrownAssGirlCap
+1 Former emo at a top BB here - it’s tough the first year or two in undergrad, but you can develop enough self confidence to blend these two aspects of your personality. mara20
+1 It’s not easy to make it to a MF but in CRE everyone does the same stuff. Its secured lending, the MFs can just do more scale. There are some smaller groups that lend on super hairy deals. Associate 3 in RE - Comm

+1 It’s situation dependent and often depends on whether the case study is remote or as part of a superday. SaaSChimp
+1 My entire office is male across 25 analysts RE_Private_Egg_Witty

+1 Agreed, but I have associate and VP friends literally building CIM's cos there's almost no analysts - maybe that's normal but just seems crazy to me. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Anonymous Monkey: M&A is sweaty Can confirm. I’m drenched. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 It’s fine…, just make sure you get at least deal experience - whether it closes or not you can’t control. But at least you have the exp, the workis same whether the deal goes through at the end or not  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Did you at least tell them you won’t be able to make it before the time of the chat? Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I think it comes down to the fact you realize despite all your stress and work and chasing of prestige you will not have a yacht or Bugatti or penthouse in your 20s or 30s. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Where did you get these stats from? There’s a mountain of bullshit online and this strikes me as a part of the pile. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Reality of the situation is there will always be someone “better” than you. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 In the end all EBs are either getting doom posted to shit or glazed above what they're worth. Truth is always somewhere in between, and PWP is still far from dead  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 How’s the vp recruiting market? VP in PE - LBOs
+1 UBS is definitely Curaçao, the worst team at the World Cup this year   Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+1 HL monkeylovesbanking
+1 both are dead. hours around 6:45 - 5:15. For linear you trade a specific part of the curve and try to find RV trades. Swaps trading the spread. exits for both are anything in macro hedge fund. no_home_jerome
+1 very real. high turnover to hedge funds. large banks hire 1 to each every year. no_home_jerome

+1 to answer your question that guy is a grifter. Ignore him. He’s just trying to fear monger so you buy is mentorship. I mean this in the nicest way possible but the dude went to UTD. CuriousGeorge1024
+1 retarded take. 'implies the need to fit in' is limited entirely to people from non nepo/non ivy league backgrounds that work in sales. bonjourtovorisch
+1 Highly suggest staying away from this firm. The MP is shady. There are many other better firms to pursue. Don’t waste your time with them.   VP in PE - Other
+1 At DB, HC has been noted to be very sweaty but also does not close deals, Numis teams as well are noted to be avoided as they are not fully integrated with the DB EMEA platform and have a discount of prestige. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Might be an issue - what did the bank say after you said it was an unpaid internship? Usually you still need to provide proof - Why can't the person provide reference you worked there? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 This job is ok if they have relationships with GPs but not as useful if they just read memos and allocate them  newkid2019
+1 probably an offer  Works at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
+1 Could be either honestly. After a final round a call is standard practice either way WSoMonkey93
+1 Not an issue. Say it wasn’t a formal employment. HireRight will simply add this to the logs they give the firm. There is absolutely no issue here. WSoMonkey93
+1 3 years at UBS, no closed sell sides  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Same here IB wrecked my sleep. I left it and that's what fixed it lol. The truth is you've wired your body to be reactive and stressed at night because of late night comments and work for years. Ladd
+1 I've heard mixed opinions. Some say unpaid work shouldn't be included as employment if it wasn't formal. Alvian
+1 Congrats on JPM Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Nope they are nationally and have multiple offices. At an analyst / associate level, it doesn’t matter as you are not an originator. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 LOL, Analyst quality is down to the individual. Anyone clever at both shops can break into what so ever  davani1420
+1 All good. We assume you guys are awkward retards anyways. Won’t be a major factor in your RO decision. Def don’t change who you are to fit in.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 word dddank
+1 I wouldn't say it's super common but it certainly isn't out of the ordinary. Honestly, fair enough as long as you have a clearly defined trajectory. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Good answer. To add on the practical modelling side, try building a DSCR-based debt sizing model with sculpted repayments from scratch. infravc
+1 Where is this job security you guys talk about in IB? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 You’re only real exit is going to be macro funds/pods, and really only going to be at the Director to PM level where that becomes attractive. Analyst 2 in S&T - FI

+1 Never heard of a Mckinsey person on secondment? lol. also the whole networking onto cases is dependent on how you spin it. your staffer does not gaf about you they have so many others. Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 Don’t think it makes sense that u are dying for a return offer when u cant even get along with the team. Whole point of going back somewhere is because you genuinely enjoyed the job. mergers and accusations
+1 Dude I know people who got rejected from an office and then reinterviewed at the same office in a different cycle and got the job. I don’t think anyone really cares Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Friends don’t let friends work at UBS Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 UBS behind almost all shops for most categories juniors would care about Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 With all the underperformance you don’t want to be at UBS right now. Managing Director in IB - Gen
+1 In Europe, GS, JPM and MS are a safe bet among BBs - with MS lagging behind the other two in DCs but are probably stronger in fiber. Managing Director in IB - Cov
+1 Curious where you saw that as I feel wso actually goes the other direction and overblows the intellectual stimulation/big brain work needed in rx. I think it is more interesting than doing PEPI long term though. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 I mean if you search up virtually any post about RX on this forum you'll be bound to see atleast a couple of comments talking about how it's the most mind numbing, legalese work you'll ever do, and that it attracts a very Analyst 1 in Private Credit

+1 UBS intern here, don’t know about GIG and FSG but LF can confirm. Apparently they got staffed really hard and have homework due tomorrow Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Not sure bout London grad programs but in the u.s, analyst programs are typically “up or out” in nature. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Very helpful! What do you mean by 'training' here? Is it about sharpening your judgement on when to buy/sell a stock? bty
+1 Thanks this is very interesting as someone new to the HF world. What would you say is the next 'investing style' that is generating consistent returns for LPs like pods have been doing?  bty
