+7 I have yet to close any deal after a couple years and don’t really know how M&A works. I’m a monster at marketing materials though Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+7 The Evercore slander lately about their big class has been crazy, exits are still top notch because having a big analyst class isn’t always equal to worse exits. Also, there are some really strong groups (e.g. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+7 Pendelum swings back and forth, and at the receiving end of it are always those without power. Funny how that works. Companies appease government policy across countries and across policies. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 “Literally the opposite of what I would have done” alright buddy. Prospect in IB - Cov
+7 At least top buckets at both Citi and BoFA get live deal work unlike UBS.  Maybe I am just coping as someone at BoFA/Citi, but the real money in this career isn't in your first few years. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 Dumbest post I've ever read Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A

+7 We used Aswath Damodaran's method. See below link, but the basic idea is: Use mature market risk-free rate and equity risk premium (i.e., use the US percentages), but add on a "country risk premium". Mastery 7 IB Shitter
+7 GDP growth means absolutely nothing if it's levered to the t-ts on debt. The U.S. deficit has reached 7% and is nearing $2 trillion dollars, most of it owned by foreign private investors. 8'Banana_Stacker'2

+7 Second on taking a mental break. This is also a tough market with all the uncertainty. Investment Analyst in HF - Event

+7 tonythebrief odog @digitalimmortality.com
+7 I agree that pyramids are getting longer with more titles. That’s not a secret. You can still make good money in the meantime though. I’m not sure I agree with this though: VP in PE - LBOs

+7 Ignoring for a moment how arrogant you sound and how little thought has been put into this question Monkey.D.

+7 Ling is a woman dawg ubersomesam
+7 Sunlight is the best disinfectant Prospect in IB-M&A

+7 Shes gonna catch more than a stray if she's not careful. (My dih that has STD's) RestIess
+7 You can’t fix broken relationships and bluntly no one should be yelling at you in a professional white collar work environment. Look to leave immediately before this ends with you getting fired. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+7 In my opinion, most analysts (Wharton kids are different) do not actually know what the fuck they’re talking about and can’t even begin to graduate to the level of being an actual “person” until like their 2nd year of bein SOFRsoGood
