Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Feedback is rarely objective. Even when it feels unfair it can be useful to dig deeper and understand the specifics behind it. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 I understand GS has cracked down a lot on PE recruiting and many funds are hesitant to interview GS analysts out of fear of damaging the relationship. gru_from_despicable_me
+1 magnesium financialrepublic
+1 why wont the founder just confirm you did free work for him???? financialrepublic
+1 I used to do this when I was a broke student and often sipped on coffee until I had my meal around 5-6pm. Big downside is the ketosis during the day can give you bad breath. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Id suggest Judaism or Mormonism.  Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Appreciate it. I was more so focused on if I am 'navigating" this new WLB correctly. I constantly ask my boss and team what more I can do or what else I can take off their plates but its always nothing. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Weakest Industrials team out of the big 3 and they are huge I think nearly 50 ppl - leads to a lot of internal politics, cliques within subverticals forming etc. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I recently moved from ER to a startup and yea its incredibly different than working in research (even more so for you). spudrmonke
+1 Unironically the play is to run up a bunch of 100 hr weeks as an intern, get that sweet overtime $, get the return offer - then go somewhere else lmfao  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 In my experience asking you get vague guidance that can always claimed to not have been followed… Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 You cannot take reviews of Rx IB and apply them to Rx Consulting, and vice versa. You should spend some more time looking at the numerous threads on here that are specific to Rx Consulting (there are a lot). RCJ92
+1 Hey retard, if he did not mention why take it for implicit. Ask him instead #idiot boib_1
+1 This did work for me but I was actually ready to take the other offer and was on track for the promotion anyways (basically just sped it up / made it a certainty). Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 The website is filled with corporate bootlickers. You must work 80+ or else you are cooked!!!  LBOnlyFans
+1 Before CS acquisition, UBS Aso/An culture was top tier with great camaraderie. Now it’s way more cutthroat / backstabby / weird.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Not sure about the whole bank but UBS tech and FIG definitely overhired analysts last year  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, your concerns about lacrosse or rowing being the "missing piece" for success with women or social dominance might be misplaced. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Start recruiting KageSelly
+1 “Choice in health care” is dripping in irony here. IRR you ready to rumble
+1 How cooked are Permira growth / Permira tech vs avg tech fund? Prospect in PE - LBOs
+1 Permira growth is dead, permira buyout will live on. In terms of who is doing better Francisco Partners, TB, Silver Lake (barely). Vista is doing worse and Vitruvian in Europe is worse. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Had this issue before with a Spring Week… just call their number and explain the issue and if possible add some form of email where your offer for the internship was in MaggiesAso
+1 Here are a couple that you might run into  Determined
+1 WSO Monkey says a post-final call could go either way - You say no, when I last got rejected by them it was via email - You have answered your own question..? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I don’t really understand why Laz gets so much shit, even in the US. Analyst class is half the size of EVR yet they’re consistently top 3 EB M&A advisors (YTD so far #1) both in US and Global league tables. gru_from_despicable_me
+1 WB is not much better lol. Interned in one their top groups (tech, hc, etc.) and fucking hated the people Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Send it, yolo Amazon Prime
+1 Very similar story - love my dad but don't want to be in business with him. Much easier to maintain that relationship outside of doing business together at least for me.. ymmv. kuf135
+1 I would push to fall 28 if you want to target the funds you listed. Believe some have already wrapped up S27 recruiting or will wrap up this fall at the latest. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 ~70 hours Raven621
+1 An alternative point of view bc I was in this situation at a top BB - HR threatened to push my start date until I could get my work verified by the founder (despite me already signing my lease). Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 On first glance, I would say that is a super ambitious list for your Sophomore year summer. Obviously shoot big but I'd keep my options open to any decent shop that'll let you get involved. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Anyone do off cycle with any of these firms? Curious to figure out how far in the process I got curiousbanana123
+1 It’s ok to ask your manager questions  [email protected]
+1 Hey I’m in a very similar situation but different backstory can you dm me please SheRideOnMyPIK
+1 I had the exact same thing happen to me. Hireright absolutely sucks. I called my employer’s HR and then they verified my employment with no issue. coffeedrinkinghardo
+1 Seem interesting but also perhaps somewhat of a “nepo” firm. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Obviously the one without a rich daddy and legacy into harvard Intern in IB-M&A
+1 you know how much they made from streaming and how much a Netflix account costs at the same time, you can back into pretty much anything you want waccAF
+1 At least in my network, the people that did ESCP mim vs bocconi cems, the latter had stronger outcomes. I had to decide between Bocconi MFin and ESCP mim and wil be attending Bocconi this fall.  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks for sharing. Just to clarify, did the founder eventually verify the work, or was it resolved through alternative documentation? The situation is messy, happy to hear you solved it. Alvian
+1 Nothing changed - most of PE are snake oil salesmen, they dress luck as “edge” etc. but realistically all of them are levered beta (and especially at MF level) and sometimes you get clapped. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 WB sucks. Interned there in theHC group and the people just suck, incredibly two faced. I’m sure tech is the same way since it’s a top group. Can’t imagine HL is all that different. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Is there a large difference between shops in terms of quality? If not, I’d probably recommend leaving. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 This is true. Recruit FT to another bank ASAP! Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Best thing I ever did was accept DB ft offer over UBS...have a buddy in Tech there and seriously think he's losing his mind.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information available in the dataset regarding compensation bands at Blue Owl for the Real Assets business. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 2 never happened while 1 has happened ducudvsb
+1 Senior Managing Analyst is the only goated role at GS - should ask for that  Monkey.D.
+1 I know a decent amount of kids who choose to take an extra semester to graduate to do an off-cycle internship in either the fall or spring just to pad their resumes. Substack_Guy
+1 is rd2 out then? 1bst2005
+1 Tech may be the most dysfunctional group in terms of revenue per headcount but it’s far far from the worst group culturally at UBS  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 My 2 cents: Your best move is to try to lateral to London within your industry first, and then try to change team once you are in London. But this will take considerable time. Someone correct me if I am wrong here... PaldBenis
+1 There are always after 9-5pm work events around all across Manhattan in different industries. Might be worth checking out, I'm sure there are some out there for finance. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Friend was at Citi last year and the head of IB literally told them at a speaker series that they had seats for everyone and that “they are not the type of bank to hire 120 and take 60”. Intern in S&T - Other
+1 skydome215great post. how would you compare today's job market to the one you faced in 2010? odog @digitalimmortality.com

+1 nah it's back to 110/125 I believe, forget the exact rationale they gave for lowering it but the whole reason they did it in the first place was that they had an incredible 2021 and were riding high and figured that things FTPanalyst
+1 35 dinner credit comes in very early in the day, theoretically you can get busted for not staying past 8 but doubt anyone is leaving before then. Uber home past 9. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 The 1st. The offense made is that you talked too much, it's not like you were breaking/doing anything rancid. reddemon
+1 Dr. Rahma DikhinmahasInteresting response to a comment where I say negative things about Trump.But he's an easy choice over the party that belives: IsItREPE
+1 On_The_EdgeHow did you get such a low interest rate? I've never heard of anything below 4, but I only started researching personal interest rates in 2021 CRE
+1 Bump Associate 1 in RE - Res
+1 Have heard from friends toxic culture and tough hours with not much upside Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Hopefully someone else chimes in about 2025 bonuses as I GTFoutta there by then but regarding the base nah it's back to 110/125 I believe, forget the exact rationale they gave for lowering it but the whole reason they did FTPanalyst

+1 Get an offer than talk about biotech  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 LPs are honestly complete clowns. LBOnlyFans
+1 JPM and GS are brutal most cases I’ve heard it’s 60%. Know of some top kids at targets that didn’t get returns and they performed well. Have heard mixed things abt MS youngbuffet

+1 ojapar20At this point, AI compute has become a modern life necessity, like food, water, oil, and the internet.  IsItREPE
+1 Think you get a nice box of donuts asdf1248
+1 ESCP obviously is way better in France, but I dont know how they regard non prepa people doing a grande ecole degree tbh. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 building upon that, what do you think of capital raising / ir as a career? Dach_monkey
+1 Business School in IB - Cov enzogenevois10
+1 They all pay like garbage and pretty much every group fell off / saw significant attrition from 2022, except LF and maybe REGL. If you’re at BofA I pray for you  RBOB_squarepants
+1 You can lurk without an account Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+1 These pretzels are making me thirsty! Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Snooty but from Rutgers at all. The irony. Non-target Nancies got a big head with Rutgers to back it up Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 I agree. With only 1.5 years of GC experience, I'd try to make the move now rather than wait for an MBA. davidrobbin
+1 Totally fair! Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You’re splitting hairs at this point for NY HC groups between these banks. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 I don't know how things look now but when I was there around 3 years ago this was a very prevalent problem with the student body. Regardless though, I would still 100% recommend anyone in-state in NJ to attend. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 To OP’s favor, slogging through 20-30 years of corporate versus working hard at entrepreneurship are two different things entirely. Obviously neither are easy. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Congrats on RBC! akpsiontop
+1 All SA recruiting is completely random  Just do your best and something will come . First internship doesn’t have to be the place you stay at Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Background check sign off ultimately sits with team head if any issues. It’s not HR deciding you won’t be joining We had similar situations and the MD just signed off. I’m sure this can be resolved Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Could you please explain what infrastructure means? Isn’t picking stocks just… picking stocks? Intern in IB-M&A

+1 Fresh account one post obvious rage bait You should reflect on how you’ve decided to use your time in life Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 KPS and Veritas funds are consistently >2-3x net MOIC and >20% net IRR. In comparison, these returns are in the 3rd or 4th quartile. Yes if you compare them to distressed funds their returns look much better. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Bumping this because I have the same questions and aspirations here, and because I know fixed income can be/is 'harder.' Best of luck to you out there. aspiringficc.monkey
+1 Greater than 50% regret… I hope i get a return offer and can shop it Summer Associate in IB - Cov
+1 Quantamental exists at the firm or strategy level. Doesn’t exist at the individual level. Skillsets don’t overlap at all, per above Source: I work fundamentals within a “quantamental” strategy Benson Says
+1 As a general rule, HK pays higher than London but lower than US. Just say no to HFs in Europe. Don’t know specifics tho Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
