Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 This is great advice. I had a period of prioritizing exercise over sleep and didn't work out well for me Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Cope The one field where there's no gender quota driven hiring ends up with all men ----> random woman: "its because the men's egos make them biased against women!" Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 It’s illegal for a landlord to make tenants pay their broker fees. Tenants can hire their own broker and pay a fee if they want… kinda unnecessary though, would just use StreetEasy Generic Banker
+1 I think I’ve answered most outstanding questions. I’ll also write about outside in, how to identify funds that are more likely to be sexist, and people who are more likely to be sexist  James' Bond
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - GenCope James' Bond
+1 "Load up the guns" = Buy as much as possible "Take no prisoners"= Aggressive negotiation stance "We're going to war"= Hostile takeover proceeding Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 i guess so buddy Eman_Kant
+1 Not reading all that, but basically all are great options. The difference between recruiting results from each is marginal. Just pick the school you like the most. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 OMG it was just a jooooke no cap just calm yoself sista Maybe something more than "this" would be even more value-add? throwingawaytime
+1 meatrocket: At Cantor your boss is Sage Kelly. Let that influence your decision. Watch your mouth KageSelly
+1 I worked at a BB so I'm biased, but as others said I would not turn down IB for the other opp described. Getting a full time IB offer means you can lateral for other banks with some experience or jump to RE. fdfdfdfd
+1 Also will write a post on different sector coverages and those that are less averse to women  James' Bond
+1 Don't know Livcor well but have worked with various in house capital markets teams including the BX style setup (from the originations perspective). I have the impression that those operator based teams crank.  fdfdfdfd
+1 James' BondthrowingawaytimeOMG it was just a jooooke no cap just calm yoself sista throwingawaytime
+1 Yeah I think it’s more or less invisible to men unless someone that they care about goes through it. Or they have daughters and worry about the future that their kid is going to have. 1AB
+1 Georgetown grad so take with grain of salt as the guy above, but I think Georgetown and Cornell recruits very similarly. Intern in IB - Restr
+1 You should probably also mention that none of your USC and Georgetown friends got into Stern. sm17
+1 georgetown > cornell’s number of students gunning for ib seats and depressing ah winters johnathanw07
+1 vandy at 5??? Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Lol you are confirmed retarded. Take a look at the junior class of most hedge funds - non-white is more than represented on a per-capita basis. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Also curious about Apollo HF as well actually Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 All the women I know in PE except 1 truly bad one are technically better than the average guy and at least as / more intelligent than the average guy. 1AB
+1 Can also throw in my hat on Dartmouth. Much more common name on the street from what I have seen. Hags28
+1 Hags28
+1 In the analogy where UBS is the legacy BB's and Carlyle is the legacy MF's, yes. UBS once had titans with top performance like Ken Moelis and Blair Effron pre GFC, just as Carlyle was a top PE shop pre GFC. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Congrats on Carlyle Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 If the HHs aren’t actively reaching out to you and chasing you down, you probably aren’t a target candidate; at least at the moment. Hags28
+1 The reason i ask is because i have various friends in debt who say their targets/goals are to put out $1bn/year.  Unless your average deal size is $200M and you're doing ~5 deals a year, idk how you get that done. hard assets
+1 Is PGIM actually sleepy though? Naturally they have general account money, but I was under the impression they were focused on more fund business/higher yielding stuff (core + debt fund/mezz). hard assets
+1 congrats on wells fargo blubberz
+1 You're traveling more than me then lol. As I mentioned elsewhere, around 40-60% travel. Usually on the lower end of that range. Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 My favorite HY desk is MS’s for what it’s worth. Easiest to deal with and such. Have considered doing some stuff with JPM and BofA but ultimately MS has been best overall. Hags28
+1 Ranger oil & Baytex, Duke energy sale to Brookfield, California resources & Aera merger, Viterra & Bunge Merger, LKQ acquisition of Uni-Select, all domestic deals. Not bad for a small team information2
+1 If you are willing to pay then Dartmouth is your best option wuandale33
+1 Agreed, have seen this play out across diff settings where low competence/mediocre individuals slip through due to fitting a certain mold, it breeds more entitlement and mediocrity. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Just do BHP and decide to transfer to UChi later no? I don't see how this is a hard decision. Haas also isn't really good for much if I'm being honest.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 There are lots of layers. Systematic vs. discretionary, RV vs. value, expression vehicle, FX vs. rates focus, etc. Directional punting is discretionary and mainly focused on value (e.g. Haidar and Rokos). longandshort
+1 Feel like everyone calling Cornell shitty is just coping hard. The school’s rankings are now respectable across every national and international ranking. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 This list is mostly accurate for exits, but RBC should probably be higher up next to the US BBs for the Toronto market specifically. They dominate the deal flow here. elsizinie939
+1 Although free college would be a source of pride, paying for Dartmouth is a non-issue. heavyweightcollege
+1 If (and only if!) Zara fits you, don’t be a sissy - buy a pair of sewing scissors. Cut off the badge, and tell anyone who asks that it’s no label, entirely bespoke, and full canvas. sanjagolovko
+1 Bump fungiblemonkey
+1 bump! interested as well Analyst 1 in AM - Equities
+1 NYU with no doubt. If you want to have a single shot at quant roles ( & better chances at IB), econ and math is the way to go Anonymous Monkey
+1 If she’s in banking, she’s probably not pretty Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 No, cuck. She has to follow YOU! Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 No CUCK. She should be following YOU!!!! Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Got it, yeah as someone else mentioned pricing wise your best case scenario is high 200s or low 300s unless it’s low leverage or a leased fee deal. JamesPukeCannon
+1 Feel free to PM unders
+1 I have a friend who went on to become a VP at GS. I have not seen him in person since he joined that bank. We spoke on the phone around the time he made the bump to VP. Hags28
+1 Any of you bring up looksmaxxing in an interview and you'll be walking out the door maxxing Rabbit
+1 Bump nontargetkidatunc
+1 If tech so prestigious why tech bros so pussyless?  Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 CB PE probably needs to be put into context. Hags28
+1 I go to Stern and you should pick Northwestern btw. sternkid1
+1 Where do you want to end up? You're talking about deal activity which suggests you want to jump to the CorpDev world- if that is the case, I'd jump for any corp dev role you can find (at PE or a public company). Corp_titan
+1 I guess the question will ultimately come down to is the burnout and being stretched thin worse than training up a risky candidate or not? jarstar1
+1 Echoing the feedback you've already received, start going to networking events and reaching out to your alumni base to develop a rapport with folks. NYCreDev
+1 Personally, have higher regards for a Georgetown SFS grad vs. one from Cornell. VP in Consulting
+1 Summer Associate in Risk MnmgtLooks like one of the main headhunters is sending out info on scheduling chats... worth engaging for these yet? jatego3574b
+1 lol this is OP Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Probably a slight edge for Cornell recruiting wise, Georgetown serious edge for quality of life unless you want the rural campus-centric Cornell experience. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Right after bonus season, rent an expensive car, but not too flashy, for a month. Something that's 2-3x your bonus. sanjagolovko
+1 I feel like you are trying to say Cornell is more prestigious than Stern and therefore stern can't do better on buyside. The difference is minimal in prestige buddy and stern is absolutely better for top buyside. 188m
+1 Withdraw from whichever classes are killing you rn and take some online courses over the summer to pull the gpa up a bit. Spreadsheet Sasquatch

+1 Yep I'm there with you. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Harvard been around since the 1600s. If you want a “safety” school, seems like a decent choice. If you want something newer and more adventure and risk, Stanford seems the way to go. G Hags28
+1 At this point the only midtown slop bowl I’m eating is the office candy jar Hags28
+1 Grades go to F so why start at S++? Evercore though small I think is on par with GS / MS. The brand is as good and pay would be top notch. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Here is the story on why MMs are now starting to get into credit (again) Hags28
+1 Am at GSAM alts, NYC office. Analyst 2 in Private Credit
+1 Anything but ubs Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Buy a handheld taser from Amazon and have a fellow analyst tase you every time you drink a cup of coffee above a pre-defined daily allocation (maybe two per day). NuclearPenguins
+1 Analyst 1 in IB-M&AAssociate 1 in PE - LBOs Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 If money is not an issue it's Dartmouth. That said, UNC does place kids into banking and is considered a semi-target. NuclearPenguins
+1 Clowns shop, underpaid, no deal flow, most senior ppl have no clue how to source (overheard from a friend that they ask associates to source deals) Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 Combination 1 for obvious reasons. Pro Veritate
+1 North Dakota state, Doug Burgum is that you? Chr1sM0lt1s@nt1
+1 I am Paul J. Taubman and can confirm that this is true CEO in IB - Restr
+1 sorry for the lack of compassion above. if you did well for anyone at BX, ask them to pull for you. tons of BBs hiring right now, so it definitely could work. always helps if clients pull for you Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Heard good things about the culture over in Anchorage, would lean towards them. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 No way Greenhill is that high and especially now that BMO poached 2 of their MDs Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 According to their respective 2025 Employment Reports, 9% of GSB grads went into “Investment / Portfolio Mgmt,” while for HBS it was 7%, but for Northeast firms HBS probably wins. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 sure intern Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr
+1 Same. I went to (a much lower caliber) school in SoCal and would pick USC from this list. Unbeatable college experience to be a young guy in California. johnny-mnemonic
+1 Thank you for your insight! But one thing I was thinking about is that for Cornell my BS would be from HumEc as I mentioned prior. _TimeBolt700
+1 What do a few short tenor high IRR low MOIC really do for you as an LP. Not much Senior VP in PE - Other
+1 Michigan Ross, IU Kelley, and UT Austin are way better than dartmouth. GL! Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I only work at the sweaty ones but sometimes they get good when the market was slower in '23. I think firms like Midcap, Twinbrook and antares are pretty chill commercial banking esq seats but comp will be commensurate. VP in PE - Other
+1 Bump frontierflyer
+1 I have a friend there that I met their playing Age of Empires 3 online. His username is Mr. Tuga. No recs but thought I would share.  anonymous investor

+1 false. its the streets way of trying to become a millionaire. there is no prestige in the hookers way of getting money. im seeing a lot of pe analyst programs. boutique ib shops or boutique investing shops hiring ivies. fuku
+1 Congrats on MS (CRE lending) rolo25
+1 anyone who says mid-tier BB (BofA/Citi/Barc) has an offer from Barc anyone who says upper MM (HL/WB/Baird) has an offer from Baird anyone who says MM has BGL/Stifel (KBW) Prospect in IB-M&A
