+1 Glazing is crazy crashdummy222
+1 Yeah this is pretty good man. Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+1 High quality Meditteranean/Middle Eastern gyros + platters are my go to. Never had digestive issues ordering those dishes from my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. Very fresh ingredients, taste incredible. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Bump, wanted to get a sense for which shops filled their SF seats, heard Permira and TPG both have seats left Prospect in PE - LBOs
+1 My base salary is $230k, with 40% regular bonus and 20% “long term compensation” bonus, which is just a bonus paid out over 3 years, as long as you stay. I haven’t received any “irregular” bonuses in many years. Works at Hines Interests Limited Partnership
+1 Car deets plz AKBOS
+1 drink a beer pls Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Was once told by a cop that it’s disrespectful to ask if they’ve ever had to pull their gun. I feel like this is a level above that. But I’d be curious too… randommonkey3843
+1 Instructions unclear, now being investigated for running a Ponzi scheme.  Determined
+1 Congrats on Thailand ladyboy wife! Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Amazing but also scary. rcdlobo01
+1 Hardegree (tech), Keller (m&a) and the tech guy fired for compliance reasons lol Ubs bankers cant actually do the job so they jump when their guarantee is over Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Sounds like you got the ‘tism Broketree Capital
+1 Sorry to hear OP. Do you have copy of formal performance reviews handy as they should help alleviate some concerns and having references like Staffer could help too  Exec VP in IB - Cov
+1 You are an idiot. Often these days MDs are unable to meet revenue KPIs and most convenient way to save their skin is to reduce headcount. Exec VP in IB - Cov
+1 Depends; I think the key factor is whether or not you're getting free (or cheap) leverage with your employer. IRR-Responsible IR
+1 Agree, regardless of reason for layoff there is going to be a perception that you would not have been laid off if you were a top performer. If you have some support for that it would help. VP in IB - Cov
+1 Thank you both. very helpful. I unfortunately dont have access to my records anymore but exited with a good standing. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Not completely. Nobody can take away the fact that you got the job done on time and with quality. If seniors tiptoe then you should look for another team.  Exec VP in IB - Cov
+1 Few groups didn’t resign their A2s at all. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Don’t want to share too much publicly. Simply, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Tried something new and didnt like it. Amazon Prime
+1 hope, hit on my micron calls so I’d say we aren’t, pump that shit up Intern in IB - Restr
+1 OP got a New York offer. Barclays’ New York Power team is generally regarded as stronger than Wells’ Power group. Mike Jordan
+1 35, $3.7m. $3.3m equities and $400k real estate. Would like to hit $5m and then call it a day. beattheodds
+1 Couldn't get into exeter/andover? Fucking tard 188m
+1 Is M&C the same as M&T? Would stay far away from M&A and M&T, terrible groups with sweaty hours and poor deal flow.   Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 good point. Assimilation is key typeshi
+1 . Monkey7521
+1 Dude relax spend time trying to be liked and also getting coffee and shit. those matter more and also practice old work as well.  nachocheese
+1 Your whole argument here is that there are almost no valuable AI use cases yet. That they're all empty promises about the future. And that the use cases that do exist today aren't that great. ojapar20
+1 I worked there and deeply regret it. All the bankers there are forced to say good things about it, but talk to UBS alum and you’ll get a honest take of how much the bank is struggling. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 what does "buy side public credit analyst" mean? If you are a CLO analyst and a mid level this is going to be a tough move (in my experience, easier internally first, then externally) Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Same boat weewooweewoo
+1 Put yourselves in a more senior persons shoes (analyst / associate / vp). asdf1248
+1 the usage of H1B and STEM OPT visas in some of these groups is so unethical… not sure if still the case, but my group had unofficial policy of hiring 50% international for analysts/Asos. Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+1 Like Blair, Piper Sandler tier - HL is a MM volume sweatshop - apparently their restructuring not even that good  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You kids need to get a life LMAO Amazon Prime
+1 I thought the same as you at your age. I'm 32 now. maybe 3-4x the worth of someone my age in IB, but infinite more stress. Nothing harder than being an entrepreneur and no guarantee earnings will hold.  CEO in PE - LBOs
+1 That's super interesting. Thank you for sharing. So it's the intersection of deep research and logical reasoning to develop forecast line items.  rcdlobo01
+1 PE funds have been bifurcated for a while now in terms of fundraising. Software funds that have done well remain fundraising well. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Has anyone been able to get it to work well for actually modeling in excel? Big Chimp Sht 68
+1 In Bain's defense, they came in at a valuation and with a structure that let them hold through one of the most brutal NAND downcycles ever, and had the right management and systems in place to both weather the storm operat Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Not really necessary in London (imo) unless you're aiming for a boutique or EB bank. Landed plenty of offers without having attended a single one. Yes, doesn't mean you should copy me - but isn't absolutely necessary. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 I don’t know what you call good health but with the junk I’ve seen eaten it sure as shit isn’t M&A bankers Wacc an Intern

+1 whats more crazy is how she got hired with this atrocious resume format in the first place pbwind2024
+1 Reading this thread very late but laughing my ass off. This guy is probably Stern himself with this kind of shilling. Investment Analyst in RE - Comm
+1 Sometimes it sprays when I shit depending on how my stomach is feeling I cant help it. I do a courtesy double flush when that happens Leverage Hero
+1 working 16 hours on a holiday to own the libs... congrats wso Intern in Consulting

+1 Bumping this thread. How has the market been over the past year for OP or anyone else who wants to chime in?  Still steady, or had to pivot on some deals or transaction structure?    WHDC2007
+1 Intern in IB- Mergers and Acquisitions
+1 Somehow, the bathrooms I've seen at investment banks have been dirtier than factories with way more employees per bathroom lol m_1
+1 Don’t do FIG. You’re welcome. KageSelly
+1 probably got sent to the gulag based on creditor/debtor words Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 How does carry work, how much can one realistically get each year in realization? Babine

+1 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀 Pokemon Master
+1 Not having to do the things I don't want to do so I can spend more time doing the things that I love. There's nothing better in my opinion.  Arnie S
+1 Not having to do the things I don't want to do so I can spend more time doing the things that I love. There's nothing better in my opinion.  Arnie S
+1 Not really if you’re good and hungry and do as well as someone else. But points against you if you gotta leave early to take care of your kids or whatever and are less “on” or available. sick_willy
+1 Wow this is criminal. $85k base with a 14% target for a 3rd year analyst? I know it’s dependent on LOB, but damn. Is it at least in a LCOL or MCOL area, or is comp even across geographical region? Hunky Monkey
+1 Can I DM you? chimpachimpachimp
+1 na i heard some other folks got 1st rounds though Analyst 1 in AM - FI
+1 Bull market from March 2009 till early 2020.. some 11 years incl. QE / free money.. then covid madness with stimulus and other catalysts subject to sector (2y), then another bull market from October 22 till .. what.. Director in IB - Cov
+1 played around with Claude (chat, not an excel plug-in) to calculate the unit economics of a very famous private company, using quite detailed instructions. sanjagolovko
+1 What do you think about someone trying to get back into the hedge fund manager space after doing that for a year out of undergrad at a large name, then doing equity research for two years after that? spudrmonke
+1 Truly over for the 4 cap-cels larry david
+1 ha I did this with one guy and he was pissed but that many is crazy t4rd
+1 TAS for sure. Even if you wanna do MBA, TAS still positions you well for future associate recruiting. TBF, back office people at my bank get zero respect and also might be replaced by AI in future. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I would hope that your not throwing up or falling asleep after 11 beers. You don’t necessarily need to drink but what people are antidotally saying is that you should get some cool experiences you can talk about. brownshoes
+1 chimpychimperUnironically excel might have a bigger impact on my life Ah so you’re racist. Congrats on HL - great bank lol bluebottlesipper
+1 AN 2 at BB here (before I get a “congrats on” comment) rolo25
+1 Outside of PJT RSSG, I think most of the JPM groups are better, but they're definitely comparable Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Definitely worth it if you are commited, just keep it lowkey and don't tell your peers. Not uncommon for UMM, MF, or top IB groups to take FT recruits - especially from and EB. nefynance
+1 you dont need to do a full 3 statement model but if you have the time might as well. rel val would be nice, but if you dont have access to bloomberg i dont think youd be expected to have that. ibmayb
+1 With Insead (or any top US M7 school FT MBA program), you will get interviews given your background. In this market, you will need relevant pre MBA experience - which obviously you have. cabser
+1 Focus on MBA program - more structured recruiting, broader network, and more prestigious degree. You already have a CFA and good work experience.  cabser
+1 Hi friends what is investment banking? TC? Culture? Exits? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I'd lean USBC, they have much more balance sheet and they are trying to grow the S&T side.  Some solid people working there who have moved over from bigger firms. Director in S&T - FI
+1 It's a bit crazy to equate 150M liquid (extra cash) to 200k+ annual base. Prospect in Research - FI
+1 . monkeydonkeys
+1 Isn't it pretty normal to be kept on as an acquired hire? nonu-r
+1 Search fund will not be what you are looking for and is a waste of time for the most part. JJPPMM
+1 PJT RSSG sure – but focusing on traditional banking, what you said is not accurate.  Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 They are not an SM, they are esentially a pod (why they're shutting down). Then you include Jain in there among a bunch of SMs.. MMPM
+1 Harvard = OxfordCambridge = Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT Intern in IB - Restr
+1 Go talk to some huzz man. Please. I’m begging you. chadmaxxer
+1 Yeah there are synergies between WM and IB VP in IB - Cov
+1 LBS by a big margin. HSG is top in Dach, doesn't have the same weight in London as LBS/LSE Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 LBS > LSE >> HSG for London.  For dach HSG slightly ahead but the individual profile will be more important  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Get with the program. Play padel. ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 Bump, curious as well as to why FIG gets hated on Intern in IB - Cov
+1 In the rare times I've encountered this I really don't understand why it happens. It's your place of work. You share your floor's bathroom with the people you work with. Raijin
+1 Lol I was not expecting to see Silent Cal mentioned on a WSO thread. Disagree on the take though, Warren Harding was way less trustworthy than Coolidge, I actually like Coolidge. kiltedlowlander
