+1 No promotion means you're getting fired broski Research Analyst in ER
+1 Best advice is coast till they fire you and recruit as hard as you can. It’ll take a few months to build a case - by that time you need to be gone. Associate 2 in Private Credit
+1 Agree it is goddamn tough alexthomass
+1 hc has way too many sas I don’t see many returns being handed out Intern in IB - Gen

+1 FIG is a sweatshop  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I’m curious about these roles, I feel lol like they’re very rarely discussed here maroon
+1 Simplest answer in the world - lateral to a bigger bank, known for a better culture, but do your diligence through coffee chats. rolo25
+1 For HFs, bridgewater is brutal. Source: my psychiatrist has multiple clients working there. They’re all super depressed. The radical transparency stuff and rating people after meetings are the main issues  CuriousGeorge1024
+1 Any law firms you would recommend?  Assuming you are working on TN, have you noticed increased scrutiny everytime you enter US after international travel?  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 i would say very few funds in general over $3b are charging 2% fees anymore. I'd say 1.65-1.85 is far more common.  VP in PE - Other
+1 Those are two separate points. I’ve done well. Am I doing well now? Lol no.  IsItREPE
+1 If ur on smth live yeah you might work on Sunday, culture is pretty chill otherwise. Ur not getting grinded to death on pitches unless ur in M&A or M&T / another equally shit group Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Nah my friends who did lacrosse  at prep school than hypsm did no clubs and landed everything. So chill keep the sport and shit don’t do no clubs.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 Appreciate the insight. I’m at a lower level ivy not hyp, so would u say still the same affect? Summer Associate in IB - Gen
+1 Congrats on lead left! Oh wait  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 That’s such a tiny fee, and UBS bankers didn’t do much on it with MS and GS doing the real work: Having AI make up a TAM so high retail fell for it Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Thanks for the heads up. Acidnide
+1 following Acidnide
+1 any intel on comp? Enough to justify?  Acidnide
+1 Choose life Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Is the new company also a bank? I would at least take the first interview so you can get a firmer feel for the job, but if it isn’t what you want, bow out of the process then. CRE Credit
+1 Any learnings / cautions you could share with us from your experience of the ETA route? Anything you wished you knew earlier? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Have you had the conversation with your seniors on what you want? That would be my first step if you like the team and could see yourself wanting to stay there. CRE Credit
+1 Definitely possible. Plenty of analysts recruit from Boston and end up in NYC PE. The bigger factor is usually deal experience, headhunter process, and firm brand rather than the city itself. rogershe
+1 PJT and PWP really need to merge at this point. jasp88
+1 You have no idea how demoralizing it is hearing that. I left my first job thinking equity research would compliment my first experience well. Now it seems like it was my first major regret in my career. spudrmonke

+1 Thank you so much for the detailed answer, I really do appreciate the feedback. Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 Thanks! Happy to share info as a Chinese! MoneyEUMonkey
+1 Fee compression has started, and it will only get worst over next fundraising cycle as the balance of power has tilted heavily towards LPs. Then, once those discounts are in place it is impossible to revert. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Yea I totally understand. spudrmonke
+1 Same deal with the New York office? Do you know anything regarding their recent performance? Looks like they’re still investing out of a fund raised in 2021. Thanks for the insight.   Acidnide
+1 Brotha you might be a little too soft, time to grow some thicker skin and focus on the outcome of getting your job done rather than reacting to every little thing your deal team tells you. zoomizoomi
+1 Is this your first job out of school or have you worked other jobs before this unfortunate issue? If you have a good track record (i.e. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 +1 to that second comment. A junior coworker of mine got a sick apartment in Brooklyn via a housing lottery. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Early-mid 30s. ~5% of my net worth is in cash (I usually try to keep myself liquid for at least a 6 month emergency fund). Rest is invested. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Yeah valid. Middle market or non-M&A work isn't flashy but it pays the bills. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 comrade, if you are getting yelled by associates and HR, it means you are a rug at your firm UBSRising789
+1 I had a similar decision and chose Cornell Dyson. If you want to go into IB, Dyson will be far, far better. I’m much later in my career now and the $115k will (hopefully) not be material. VP in IB - Cov
+1 Genuinely curious, but which sport? Can’t be cricket, rugby, or padel given the organizational and financial considerations unique to each (I work in sports PE at a mega fund). Principal in HF - Event
+1 A sticker and a pat on the back Intern in IB - Gen

+1 AriannaisdabesttThanks but past getting IB offer does it really matter what school you go to? VP in IB - Cov
+1 Bump. Build on the stream. What is your inkling? Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 I’m considering entrepreneurship. Have an idea for a small market in FinTech (not big enough to need/get VC funding but a start). Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 I think the idea of quantamental is very ambiguous. how do you define quantamental? is it the fact that you use lots of alt data to catch signals and trade on them? equitystrat
+1 It sounds like 20 years down the line you might regret not taking the leap. From that lens, it’d probably make more sense to jump. asdf1248
+1 Above posts got most of the ones.  Sentinel Dome, Foreword, and Irenic all have SF headcount I believe as well on smaller HF type places.   VP in Research - FI
+1 there is no competition, an intern once told me he had to work past dinner time since this large (20k + EV) trucking business was based on the west coast. tough racket Intern in IB - Gen
+1 This is obviously a joke Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 these are strategies i dont work on but I did hear lots of algorithmical implementations in fundmanetal seats. I guess these are quantamental to your definition. equitystrat

+1 Thank you for such an honest take. I really resonate with it.  hollyflower695
+1 You are doing well. Try to write good and thoughtful essays that tell a good story supported by your background. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I have no idea why all of this AI shit has to be 100% in or 100% out or why you nerds are constantly polluting the RE forum about it. There is no possible way you used the Cybertruck as an example of cool or innovativ IsItREPE
+1 I really need to share my experience here. Lexapro did the same thing to me. dean787
+1 Then just get a respectable degree from both Harvard and Oxford so everyone in the world knows your almae matres Probably easier said than done Senior Consultant in CorpDev
+1 Should be fine. I was scared to take those off when I first started and didnt take my first real PTO until like late May. In hindsight it really wasnt that deep. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Any employer worth working for will know HYPSM and Oxbridge. If your life purpose is to impress a random villager then I guess Harvard and Oxford are the only unis worth attending. Prospect in HF - Macro
+1 There will be some funds closer to VC than GE that may appreciate your operating + investing skillset. Though likely no vanilla growth funds will value it at all. Associate 1 in PE - Growth

+1 It's possibly the "safe option". TobyTwoTone
+1 One MF offers fee free carry free coinvest with free leverage (3x or something ridiculous). But the liquidity (and returns) are dogwater. local_finance_bro

+1 Hah, I wish my personal projects had more profit potential. CRE
+1 Depends on what job you want after business school but if it's PE, you'll barely get any looks from Booth other than from a small handful of LMM firms in Chicago. If you're going for IB / Consulting, Booth is fine. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Agreed. I did a brief corporate stint in '21-'22 and $310k cash even then when money was cheap and startups were flush w/ cash, these would be all clear comp outliers (sure, offset a bit by inflation but still). NuclearPenguins
+1 Upload into chat/any other ai, tell it to ask you the questions and to ask follow ups. practice speaking out loud like in an interview by using the voice to text feature to ballknowledge
+1 "Anyone else feel that RX is not some immutable, technical beast that it is often marketed as?" jl12
+1 "Now for the ego point, and I may get a bunch of MS for this, but it's not big secret that IB is full of insecure hardos who desperately need to believe their job is rocket science." jl12
+1 Don’t believe anyone thinks ECM is complicated  Shelly1
