+1 Prospect in IB - GenWhat are the best UMM names in healthcare?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Opportunities with only English as a requirement do exist, but as per the above commenter are few, and you will still be competing against people who speak multiple languages. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Currently doing this exact thing. It's possible but painful. You need: Singapore employment pass, Malaysian residency visa (MM2H or work permit), and a company willing to deal with cross-border tax mess. Jody.Harmon1
+1 Brand name tax, more overhead, different profit/ownership models. Gold-ManSacks
+1 I agree with all of these as someone with 4 years in this industry. That said, banking is still one of the better ways to start a lucrative career path if you’re willing to tolerate the shit for a year or two. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 "It will be extremely difficult for the young kids to do long complex math without a calculator" This sentiment just repeats with every piece of new tech. VP in IB-M&A
+1 Global inflation. The petrodollar can not be supplanted. Not by the Chinese, not by the Russians, not by the BRICS. This is what the war is about in my opinion. pjm.priv
+1 James' Bond Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I started drinking and playing Rust akpsiontop
+1 Significantly less overhead, smaller teams, some focus purely on m&a. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 There are lots of Chinese kids going by their Chinese names and lots also going by made up English names. Same applies for those of African origin. nutmegger189
+1 Was also told “they love to go on ski trips” Intern in IB - Gen
+1 HEC evcfluminense
+1 Yes, I understand what you mean. It may be rather shocking to go from a laid-back collegiate schedule to banking hours. According to what I've heard, most individuals simply try to make up lost sleep on the weekends. dollyartasia
+1 Appreciate this! I actually think their Financial Institutions Group (FIG) may have an even better lifestyle! flipcup
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - GenWhat is this supposed to mean lol? Does Dan workout constantly? VP in PE - Other
+1 Go to the keys and catch a tarpon Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 For sure. Yes, typically the execs are all white dudes. It's accretive/strategic for them to push DEI for (1) marketing to rainbow pension money and (2) keeps their seats uncontested. Capital of Structure
+1 Deals are plodding along in development. We have some STNL deals we're doing with nationals and regional users. Grocers are signing deals all over our market, we inked one for one of our sites. CarolinaChimp
+1 Stop commenting on my posts. You are less than half as smart as you think you are… laughable response and not worth engaging. You write like GPT-2. Really bad thinker… VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Hey, currently in process with a couple PC funds and am also looking into some of the workout groups. In Industrials M&A, though. Just can’t keep doing the 90-110 hour weeks. rolo25
+1 well if you’re in one of the grad programs it could be as soon as the program itself is done. Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Yup. When I lateraled, my processes ran the gamut from "instant superday" after a coffee chat to "17 rounds across three months" (and then being ghosted). flipcup
+1 lets go band for band after you fetch my coffee and detail my S-Class, in that order mgw19
+1 very broad question, and a bit tough to answer succinctly. Associate 1 in Private Credit
+1 financialrepublicwhy dont you exit into something on the buyside that is much more chill like secondaries or private credit   VP in IB - Cov
+1 Industrials = insane sweatshop. C&R = lifestyle group but have seen them on a handful of deals $25-100M EBITDA deals in recent months so hours are probably up. Small let team. Seem like nice people. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Very well put Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I hear this. Thanks for sharing. Could be summed up by just the revenue per MD / revenue per head number. If the MMs have higher rev per MD and the BBs, they can afford to pay junior bankers more. 🤝 Hags28
+1 Hags28
+1 venture is a ridiculously small market. firms like adams street and harbourvest are some of the only ways in the world to get access to top tier venture gp’s, although there’s a double fee. Intern in PE - Other
+1 Similiar process but no need to network. Just ace your interviews which I would say in line with EB-level technicals in the US + standard behaviorals + situation Qs + some understanding of the APAC market. streetsurfing
+1 Have seen very negative things on this platform but never used myself so curious to hear other thoughts. They seem to have some good fundraising momentum/ new clients wins. cremefraiche
+1 I would recommend doing something off line about this. It’s possible none of your in person colleagues have noticed your health issues. Hags28
+1 I did a gap year (more like 3 gap years lol). Was a ton of fun but professionally like a quasi disaster that I am still trying to fix Hags28
+1 Given what I know about EVR and maybe putting on my EVR shareholder / management hat, being extremely busy better / probably means they are about to announce a $30bn (at least) M&A deal and like $100mm of fees on Monda Hags28
+1 Yes I worked with them. They paid a little but then said more money was coming but have yet to pay. I think they may still owe me something like $100. I have been pencils down for months now until they pay me. Hags28
+1 Where are you working that are you sleeping 2-3 hours a week? That is horrendous LosingMyHair
+1 Leave Woman and focus on your career in London. Guys are running away from European Satellites to London and then you’re chasing skirt to those offices. davani1420
+1 Someone wanna make a tier list for BofA groups here? Lmao 😂  Heavy-Monkey
+1 1) the people leading group specific recruiting 2) seniors if they have a preference Intern in IA

+1 Harvard + Oxford + Tsinghua would clear I fear… VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Are you OK bro?  I'm always here to talk if you ever want to.  What you CAN say that helps: "You’re not alone. I’m here for you during this tough time.” VP in IB-M&A

+1 Congrats on Stifel buddy Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Absolute word salad. MMPM
+1 It's clear that this person is experiencing unsustainable and unhealthy results due to his time on the sell side. No one cares that you're a MF associate btw  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 not bad as a starting point but your shitposts need more work too wordy codemonkey7
+1 “I was in his frat…and uh….you gotta THINK LIKE AN INVESTOR…uh….like an OWNER” Yeah, That’ll show WSO.  ProbablyEngAnyway

+1 Yeah exactly haha. Yes I am smilepoppy12
+1 Building on the points around perception -in environments where idea discussions can be pretty direct, how did you learn to advocate for your views and challenge others early on in your career in a way that landed well and Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Don't think you can bucket IFM as Mid-cap. While they target Core returns, they invest out of their USD 55- 70Bn funds. pointyfishook
+1 As a random side note I need 1-2 search fund interns if there’s anyone looking for a light internship 2-3 months before summer. apetrynamakeit
+1 Been at this tech corp strat role for a few months and it is awesome...I stand corrected. Doing cool M&A targeting lists, dd, strategy etc. Pretty sick, highly recommend a strategy + corp. Manager in CorpStrat
+1 What changed your outlook? Assume pay still sucks swe2ibd
+1 yes ofc boib_1
+1 If you want to play rugby you probably want to go to the top UK or Aussie unis. You are very unlikely to get into the American football teams. Also, do not do psychology, you will struggle to get into IB. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+1 when you find out please let us know i am curious but candidly too lazy and not curious enough to do the research myself Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Congrats on UBS! Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 0 value if you don’t speak the language. The only worthwhile differentiating factor you have as a junior is if you actually speak the language of the country you want to work in. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 No ones gonna know the difference mate nutmegger189
+1 With regards to the cycling question - I cycle between East London (Spitalfields) and my office in Mayfair (off Regent Street) every day. Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 I feel like speaking with MD or even associate or HR about it will lead to a layoff, cause they'll just "counsel you out" cause they'll think you're not cut out for IB due to your health, and they don't want to risk having Kevin25
+1 Ok tell us the story.  Whose wife did you sleep with? Soros_
+1 The only thing I have to add is what is the blended maturity of your current loans and what would be the maturity of the ~4.5% loan? jl12
+1 Bro, just stop. Everyone told you that is Harvard>Oxford>Cambridge. Cambridge still great obviously. Now stop arguing and stop asking questions, how are you not banned already goriecs
+1 "I figure I aim for the moon, land on the stars" OG Killer 67
+1 Lost out on a Moelis offer because I wasn’t willing to lie in a similar situation. Looking back I should have gambled as I was on the payroll for a couple months.  VP in IB - Cov
+1 what package do they send? wannabesweat
+1 I woudln't assume a 40% bonus on any analyst team unless directly tied to originations team even then a 40% tgt in written is hard to achieve, typical is 10-15% analyst, then PnL tied people see 20-30% there are bonus trac CPMA's15
+1 Go to whatever’s cheaper and then transfer to a target perspiratingmonkey
+1 have very good friends at both. McCombs finance is very sweaty to get into WSFM. Middlebury is not sweaty to recruit for finance. Very different lifestyles. 11Belitist
+1 those don't seem like very sick exits... Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Agree with this, some people seem to be born to just be good at investing, doesn't mean they aren't putting in the work and effort that others do but they can quickly grasp the main point that others miss. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Easy to get NYC and other locations from Cornell while its harder to get NYC from Berkeley, but being a part of the right finance club on campus is better than the school itself. Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 Go get my coffee, intern.  user_5991
+1 The last year’s thread a post from 8 months ago says that this year’s cycle has 2 waves of CIBD superdays one in mid March and one in early April. Let’s hope we’re in april notttinx
+1 For credit hedge funds and private credit placement, would focus on trying to get placed into LevFin or capital solutions / structured finance type groups. sweatymonkey
+1 Has anyone heard anything? GoldMorganStanleyPartnersCapital
+1 You will get far better, more diversified experience in IS versus government agency. I wouldn't think about this long at all. Your salary at 23 does not matter at all. Southern_cre
+1 Are you conflating property management with asset management on single asset multifamily? You do not need to work the leasing office to learn how to buy and run a multifamily property. matced
