+1 My company is still looking at multifamily in select markets, most notably SF. We're currently underwriting a low 4's going-in, stabilizing to a low 5 in Y3, and selling at a high 4 after a 10 year hold. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 MF PE or MF PC what type of role was it for your junior summer? Also, I don't think you would be competing with lateral hires as a fresh graduate. Intern in IB - Gen

+1 Lavar Ball did this, seems to have worked out well for him. Tough part is this isn't some unique idea, you are competing with a lot of other wealthy parents on the AAU circuit. Nobody Man
+1 Typical DEI scum. The way she waddled away with the trashcan lmao fitting birdhouse890
+1 Sounds more like he took a better offer laka
+1 I currently work at Hines and reiterate what said above, the firm is rapidly changing and has a lot of growing pains as part of that shift. Pay is not that standardised and subject to negotiation. Director in RE - Comm
+1 Raijin: Sir Desmond Glazebrook
+1 Bump Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks for the answer. I’ve never really considered the short side of it given no real incentives to do so. It’s simply not what I think about when researching new ideas. ElusiveAlpha
+1 These numbers are substantially better than what I was just quoted for a Director title in a T-2/T-3 east coast region. Can you share generally where you're located? Principal in RE - Comm
+1 Unironically this is method Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 Congrats on JPM Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 Missed opportunity to say she got “canned” in the title smh IsItREPE
+1 Now that you see her, her morals, that Chase has this position and senior leaders who created this position and put her in it, and that dozens like her are in federal government, I hope you see what the future holds. pjm.priv
+1 Yeah didn't cantor give a HC equity research analyst a 5 year, USD 40 million contract recently? That suggests they're investing well in their HC practice generally. PaulAllenIsInLondon
+1 can anyone acc say if it was any good? im assuming it is more for those going right before internship or FT to gear up for work Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 I agree competence is important and there's not much you can do outside of showing you are a well-adjusted person who is competent; but think it's a bit of a naive take to say it's half the battle. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 For what it’s worth, verbally accepted the following offer: Title/Level: Manager Base 150k Bonus: 50% (Cash, paid quarterly) Signing Bonus: 15k Associate 2 in Private Credit
+1 It depends a lot on your PM and team size and how spread out they are. More and more, there’s a lot of flexibility. Most of our jobs can be done from home as effectively or more effectively than in an office. investor45
+1 Exits are all inertia based as headhunters are not very tuned into the IB leauge tables. As long as they get paid, they will continue as they have been. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 How’s Atlanta? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Haha fair enough... why is Bellwether subpar exactly? Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 If only she knicked two, then she’d have cannons… The_Fisher_Account

+1 Gugg is not cracking top 5 even for rx dude, like 90% behav process Replace with either hl rx or greenhill (M&A or rx) Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Not really the hardest I guess but this one person from Oppenheimer treated a chat over the phone like an interview. bcbandar
+1 dayumsam: They pay analysts $110-125k base, so disagree having gone through it and rejected the aso offer. There's also phantom carry at the junior level. TopBucketIsOverrated
+1 EVR RX for SA. The stuff they ask is disgusting  somethingiswrongwithmyfactset

+1 Oh sh*t. That hit hard Curious MONK-ee
+1 Interviewed with them last year for their FT analyst program, had a great experience overall (liked all the people that I met and enjoyed the process) Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Knowing the guy's background, it's bizarre why either party chose one another. It was very unlikely it was ever going to work out. MMPM
+1 Because the kids from Ivey that they've hired in the past did very well jacobcrawford

+1 Is this the TPG/Pellium/Apollo Asset Management? If you're an intern I can more or less tell you what's going on. If not, I hope it helps. reddemon
+1 Thanks. Any insight into interview process will be helpful - do they have a modeling test or case study type technicals ? I understand it’s a fairly new program. Monkey7521
+1 Hi @Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎&nb Pizz
+1 It is fine, remember that these analysts have been out of uni for just 1 year. Now banter is great but be careful, do not overdo it and do not say things on the floor that can damage them Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Great to see dutch clubs become more ambitious! boib_1
+1 Of course. Even though I’m chill w them I’d never have the balls to roast them, I still treat them with an extra level of respect given they’re my superiors. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 If you work out of the Montreal office, it is probably like working at a BB given how absurdly nepotistic the Quebec government is. acardboardmonkey
+1 He was repping a Rolex on day one 😂😂😂 Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Not only does FIG not pigeonhole you, but there’s a slew of buyside activity in the sector when you look at FIG adjacent industries - being a specialist isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and all the bankers I know in FIG genu happydad2
+1 CMC (Capital Markets Club), FIR (Finance Investment Review), PMC (Portfolio Management Club) are the best ones. There's a couple other decent ones like SOF (Scholars of Finance), TAMID, and Crimson Investment Group. Monke345
+1 Pompous and slower than his peers Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 They didn't have a modeling test, but there was a case study for one of the rounds. Technicals were fairly light (focused around the drivers of an LBO) Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Highest sharpe guy i know this year is an big4 accountant who joined the buyside at 35. This is his 3rd year on the platform. Anything can happen borg1523
+1 Lol please do not be overly casual. Typically, the moment you try to be too casual it looks forced and/or you overstep the boundary. happydad2
+1 Give it a rest Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Congrats on Leerink embezzzlement123
+1 If software or tech is the goal, not having CS education or SWE work experience is a negative. There are other industries. ABSurdity
+1 you do not need a coach lol keanbeut
+1 1. Leverage  your treasury sxperience 2. Networking with alumni through linkedin or email 3. Master technicals early  4. Stay on top of the  recruiting timeline and apply quickly keanbeut
+1 Start playing lacrosse paulrabil33
+1 "Top super target" and it's just stern bruh. Stern is not a super target paulrabil33
+1 Not everyone who is doing better than you is larping. The Commenter has a point that while all these people grinded long hours they dont have much to show for it. Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+1 Every response you've made here only proves one thing: your insecurity. You never dispute the actual claim: you just attack the messenger. If the argument was so weak, you'd poke holes in it. Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+1 How have you been?  Pizz
+1 Started as a analyst after 1 year doing audit. Been at 3 locations with one firm, Chicago, NYC and San Fran. Noe back in Chicago, 1 year in SF and I wanted to be back. Love Audit Money
+1 For $120M of AUM, your budget is going to be tight. If you can get Claude enterprise + Bloomberg that's half the battle. I doubt you'll be able to afford alt data that creates meaningful alpha with your budget.  Determined
+1 Functionally speaking, what is the leading cause of UBS's downfall? Are the shitty Barclays MDs the main reason? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Great growing fund; has grown steadily to 4.5bn now. The big downside is that they are located in Providence, but think that is doable living in Boston. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs

+1 It's called sarcasm, have you ever heard of it? Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 One thing that's been on my mind is whether software vendors should be evaluated the same way investors evaluate management teams. Hazel_Parkery

+1 Analyst 1 in IB - GenWhy is Wells Fargo’s BB claim so disputed while Barclays, DB and UBS are all considered BB and they are doing much worse? Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Charles Tyrwhitt/Suitsupply are pretty nice  Investment Analyst in AM - Other
+1 As a Scandinavian go to LSE. Gainone1572

+1 We have a hard cap at Methuselah nooneinparticular

+1 He was definitely cool and a sound guy, nothing against him personally. Moreso on his presidential qualities. Raijin
