Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Sorry you’re going through this. Knew a guy from undergrad who made it to a top EB and got dragged along by a MM for 5-6 months and got no offer. He’s now at a newer L/S equities fund and killing it. RevBuildRascal
+1 quite a few opportunities in my mind, albeit slower at places which are sponsor focused Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Anonymous Monkey: Black Diamond Capital Management Works at Goldman Sachs
+1 When you're younger, cut your teeth at a shop with stellar returns and care about comp and culture second. DBLBonds
+1 Do not speak slower lol, Cali natives are already known for speaking slow. In fact, speak faster so you blend the accent into the flow of the sentence and get rid of the draw. monkeyvjit
+1 Lazard has better exits than Centerview, CVP just a better bank tho (coming from someone at CVP/EVR lol) Intern in IB-M&A
+1 the best analysts ive met all love investing... that is to say all of them focused on building the skillset and less focusing on setting themselves up to exit - the exits come naturally when you're prepared DBLBonds
+1 terrible takes and probably paid off by Israelis. fgdgd
+1 I just went through a process with a prominent developer in Denver. Turned down the offer after negotiating pay due to the contract. It’s more critical than ever to pay attention to contracts. Investment Analyst in RE - Other
+1 Does this mean that S&T (the trading side) would not be open to a normal MiF candidate from the usual targets, such as LBS or HEC? Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 My advice is to not attend user82348919
+1 t Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Thank you so much! Would it be possible to pm me so I can ask you further questions since you’re anonymous? It would mean a lot. wso warrior
+1 Applied and haven’t heard back yet [email protected]
+1 Santander's US IB has really only been around for about two years, so there isn't enough data yet, even though YoY growth is very high. It will be interesting to see if they can keep that momentum in the US. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 Live as a Christian? And actually try to be like Jesus in all you do. VP in IB-M&A
+1 I don't think you need to rush into hiring a career coach because you're already in a great position. Entering Stern is a significant step, and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to study and get ready. dollyartasia
+1 You are a senior in high school? Spend time with friends and make lifelong memories. No one wants to hire someone who isn’t a real person. DumbassMBA
+1 It's for sure a target, apologies if the wording made that unclear - but definitely the lowest target by a decent margin in terms of reputation. professional.form.filler
+1 Not cooked, just unnecessary. They’ll teach you how to do everything when you get there. And chances are he won’t even be holding pen on model for like a year Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 This guy is legitimately mentally ill. Feel like he’s been at it for ages. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 I'm not sure. But I did have one HH submit me and say that I had already been submitted despite me checking my email and being 100% sure that I never approved sending me in. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Any insight on Genstar, TA Domodomo
+1 Did the OA earlier this week. DingalingMagnet
+1 Why? DeletedAccount...
+1 Castleknight? Clearklake if you count them as a distressed fund? CD&R if you count them as a distressed fund? Every MF sponsor other than Warburg if you count them as distressed funds? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Sending 47 cruise missiles to kill one janitor is a true Adam shit Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+1 They’ll probably announce it after interns leave and sign their offers Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 ‘27, originally from India, at a west coast target going to a BB. I’m pretty familiar with K1 and adjacent shops and would recommend spending a few years here before moving back home. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 Congrats on Greenhill Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Longest hours at the bank without deals to show for it. Seniors don't care and toxic culture which is why there's so much turnover. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Probably the only true distinction that matters. Kills me when people do those online programs and then claim alumnus in their LinkedIn headline. Those things yield certificates, not degrees. lesbiangirlscout
+1 Where are you getting these numbers from? 99891
+1 bless your soul forever king. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 quarterly EB deal table posts this generation's attention span is beyond cooked flipcup
+1 Thank you! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 It should be pretty straightforward—there’s not a ton of talent in RX, and demand seems strong this year. VP in IB - Gen
+1 Despite the shills for NYU on this forum it’s not viewed as impressive/prestigious at all. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 The vibe there is quite hardo, down to all the Stern kids sending identical networking emails. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Investment Analyst in HF - Other James' Bond
+1 Citi’s DCM is very good. Great hours and culture supposedly, but no modeling. I think the only capital market groups that model are going to be infrastructure advisory and CMBS originations. TrySomeMalort
+1 MatchabeeI will treat your points with respect since I don't want to assume you're coming at me with ill intent. longandshort
+1 before I opened this thread the first song that came to mind was must be the money I can't believe this codemonkey7
+1 There is plenty of archeological sites post 70 AD and government records that show a continuous Jewish presence in Israel despite Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic conquests. Matchabee
+1 In addition, would say that asset backed private credit roles are a common exit as it’s similar modelling to what you do in SP world. Direct lending is not a common exit Analyst 1 in IB - DCM
+1 Used Pitch book a while back and was generally useful for pre-ipo and even early stage company analysis. Their industry insights reports were quite informative. Global Banker to Founder
+1 HBK, Carlson. Hell, just go on Bloomberg and search people profiles based in Dallas. MMPM
+1 Such an overplayed narrative 3.5 is the cutoff to get looks, 3.7+ and you can land virtually anywhere with the proper social skills and experience. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 the m&a vs rssg exits thing is so overstated…they exit the same ceteris paribus. Maybe used to be true in like 2018-2022 but not anymore. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Thank you for the insights. I do think securitized products is a very interesting space, but coming out of college, I place a high value on keeping my options open longer terms. pp5
+1 Any advice you’d give to younger women in the HF industry? Thoughts on the SM vs MM space today and where you’d recommend a younger version of yourself go? Thanks! randommonkey222
+1 before i even started interning at my BB i was told “it’s never too early to bring in business” so would assume the when is as soon as you don’t look like a kid anymore and people take you seriously Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Yeah spot on. In the bad situations when you don’t care about the sponsor or ownership relationship going forward, take the company. Equitize, conserve cash flow. Once (if!) it stabilizes, recap until you’re whole. Swine-Linked-Notes
+1 For your goals of breaking into VC, PE, or HF directly out of college, attending a top-tier school with strong finance placement and alumni networks is crucial. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Does not sound like BX offer is front office - sounds more like portfolio support. Can you give more color on the second offer? burningboat
+1 Worked with them on a process. If you want to do consumer, obviously better here than at a JAMMBO, but still have some reservations. burningboat
+1 I can second this. Queens has way more funding and much stronger alumni/pipeline.  Waterloo kids just put in work to create opps as semi-target. FinnesseGod
+1 A ddtl draw is one type of incurrence test….which is one of many covenants!  There are maintenance covid, the are info rights covs, there are incurrence covs, etc.   CPDDOUGH
+1 Wtf?? yopierre
+1 Alexaa2788does this apply to all cap markets roles? I did hear Citi's DCM was very good  unkcptl
+1 Anything is possible Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Not sure how it is outside of NYC, but MS LF NYC is a sweatshop that strictly does PowerPoint, cap tables, reviews credit agreements / OMs and they do comps. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 LF at most BB's is typically nested / considered capital markets. Hence, typically the groups focus on execution, document reviews, comps and do not focus on modeling. unkcptl
+1 Anyone who knows ball would take Allen & Co if they got on offer from Allen & Co.. incalculable networking opportunity given client base + Sun Valley. These tier lists are not a reflection of reality. burningboat
+1 For what it's worth there was a guy who moved from a CLO/lev loans trading desk to a Levfin RX group at a BB. You can find his interview under the WSO channel. Think his name was Jeremy?? or something  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 dude you have 4 comments on this thread hating on Lazard, we get that you got rejected, but you don't need to be that salty about it VP in IB - Cov
+1 Ok I’ll say two weeks difference? Not 4-6. You’re not getting a pc deal done start to finish from a new issuer in less than 4 weeks. CPDDOUGH
+1 You can get one done in 4 weeks for sure.  If it's an industry the firm has experience in / your committee is comfortable w/, that's very doable. Associate 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Bump  MandAman
+1 More detailed financial disclosures can indeed increase the complexity of financial spreading, even though they provide richer data. Here's why: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Huge congrats on Mizuho! Intern in IB - Gen
+1 delete borneo
+1 It sounds like he went for an interview and didnt get the offer. Its moelis sweaty form what I've heard, anecdotally the TPG guys used to have easier hours than the TSSP guys pre separation that still holds.  VP in PE - Other
+1 The ESCP top ranking is for its masters, and does not consider bachelors, although yes the name is prestigious by itself in the industry. Their bachelor has a very German cohort for some reason I've noticed.  Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Lol "jack" right?  adrien3
+1 Hey, thanks for sharing this, super helpful perspective. Based on your experience, what did exit opportunities actually look like from LevFin in your case? DistressedDD
+1 If you’re agnostic about the exit opportunities, and it’s purely about fit for you, choose Citi. If exit opps are more important, M&A is probably the best place you can be so you should probably go with WF. Analyst0910
+1 Never Principal in HF - Other
+1 If you want to get out ASAP EVR if you are ok to stomach 3 years of banking for higher pay CVP Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Differences are marginal, so would go to the uni that you prefer from both academic and (more importantly) non academic perspectives Intern in IB - Cov
+1 For a very lean shop, a lot of people handle the basics themselves at first, like invoicing, expense tracking, and bank reconciliations, as long as transactions are still manageable. ledgerlabs
+1 ojapar20But they're run by a theocracy ideologically hell-bent on destroying the West. North Korea is not. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+1 I know people who invest in small multifamily properties (ie - 2-10 unit properties), with portfolio sizes in the 5-20 property range, and they hire a full-service property management company that handles the project-level jl12
+1 Mega incel confirmed lol. Thanks for playing bud GL getting touched by anyone who’s not your mom or your fleshlight Benson Says
+1 (1) Hyperscalers all have data center teams. You can get in on these teams directly or you can get a job in a finance and DC-related role at one of them and lateral. jl12
+1 Dead Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Sorry, i forgot to flush Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 You don’t go to HYPSM or Oxbridge so give up Donkey from Shrek
+1 You’ll be fine regardless. Donkey from Shrek
+1 Ngl it’s probably stuff you’re eating that you haven’t clocked. I’d start to be more shrewd around my diet if I were you. Monaco Man
+1 I picked my top 3 groups and allocated my time pretty evenly across them. If you have a clear #1 group, make it clear to them and tell them. Still network with ~2 other groups though as backup. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Did this last March, rested until July, found a new job in January. I moved back to my hometown and it was scary but it was so worth it because my field is 1000x better.  dab1
+1 Yes Oxford I would say also boib_1
+1 I quit the VC world almost 2 years ago and started my own company last January. I see a lot of upside to building this AI-native bootstrapped business and am incredibly happy with how things turned out. Investment Analyst in VC
+1 Warwick for the course. You will learn way more even though UCL has a better brand name! boib_1
+1 I think the attempt to optimize dating and marriage like this is a big mistake men our age are prone to making. You are focusing only on the quantifiable values of relationships. What about your personality? newtown_creek_superfund
+1 You network with the groups, and the analysts tell you how well you are doing ranking-wise. If you have a top choice, tell them so that they also rank you first and 'guarantee' a spot. Incoming Analyst in IB - Gen
+1 Ascent uptown and Vue are both nice buildings and are walking distance to office. In south end I know the Winston, Winnifred, Penrose, and Ashton south end are all nice, close proximity to bars too. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 No one knows. The only certainty is that this is an inflection point. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 little different for QR (have had interviews centered around topics learned in grad classes), but i don't think any of Optivers, SIGs, etc. care for trading Quant in HF - EquityHedge
