+1 Such a great post, thanks! shortsqueeze6767
+1 Del shortsqueeze6767
+1 Congrats on TD Vancouver Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I came for the sexy comments and instead found a bunch of men arguing with each other about why the other one also never gets laid. Great night spent on WSO as always Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Cornell A&S. The recruiting output fromGeorgetown vs Cornell isn’t much different. However, Cornell gives a way better college experience academically if you ever decide to explore other interests. californiakid2003
+1 If you are pre-law but still want to recruit for IB, Columbia. I am a Columbia grad and currently work at an EB and I am applying to law school this upcoming fall! californiakid2003
+1 I just know the brand name and it s very well seen. No clue about their bachelor though. In some countries like France you can't get hired with just a bachelor so stack up springs and go for a master Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+1 I do not know why did you rule out UVA. Id argue as an econ major, UVA is the best option compared to NYU and UT Austin Econ. californiakid2003
+1 Switching majors at Cornell is easy, even across schools, with the exception of trying to switch into Dyson. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 That hasn’t been true for a bit now - see initial comment.People say worst Ivy like it’s offensive. It’s like saying worst top 10 school or poorest billionaire. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 Rule out Williams. I’d likely be between Penn and Columbia. But Georgetown given the school you got into could be a good option. You’ll be fine from any. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Their source is literally this thread, check their ig WeezyWizzard
+1 If by R1 you mean the DP VI, candidates got emailed yday that DP had forwarded their profile over to CD&R and that CD&R will be in touch in due course to schedule interviews if selected Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 A lot of it is origination heavy, working with your coverage/sector teams to try and secure mandates. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 the reason you guys don’t think it’s prestigious is because everyone around you is a banker who went to a multibillion dollar PE fund and an M7 b school. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Hasn’t this been answered in your other hundred posts? Pro Veritate
+1 Just wanted to update &  thanks for the advice - I took A&M in the end Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 i interviewed here not too long ago... i was told it's a short process, first 2 rounds meeting the team and then a week long case. Didn't make it past early round  Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Did superday on Monday pptmaster395
+1 Bump pptmaster395
+1 The only MM credit/distressed pod I have direct connection to doesn’t really hire juniors as far as I know. Hags28
+1 Use your head. Just take it off your resume. Problem solved. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Please delete ts Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Firms that dont lead many deals (aka are on the right) are more likely to be chill. Like Neuburger Berman, Monroe, Corinthia, Barings, etc VP in Private Credit
+1 which BBs?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Hey, feel free to PM me to discuss cansitik
+1 Could you explain how you spoke about you shorter stints in interviews? In a similar position to OP and trying to figure out to navigate those discussions. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Hey, feel free to pm me cansitik
+1 You’re overweighting some of the globals just because of the brand name. A 5 person Toronto team made of 3 seniors, a vp, and an associate, is not better than RBC/TD/BMO Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Charleston forsure. I remember first time I went down there and we’re waiting for all of these students from the college of Charleston to cross the street and it was like 30 girls. Greenspan's Panties
+1 also a senior and have had a few chats already. baka
+1 Yeah hahaha Intern in IB-M&A
+1 . greaterworld223
+1 Special situations and liquid credit? Those generally don’t go hand in hand as SS deals are longer term in nature, and generally trying to hit home runs (from a credit returns perspective). Whey2Leveraged
+1 If you want S&T, I'd definetly go for UT Austin. They are a target school at several banks on the block due to their large and loyal alumni network. ATL Trader
+1 Best of luck as well brother — it will all work out eventually for both of us.  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I'd pick Tuck just because New Hampshire is awesome. Surprisingly underrated golf. You could go skiing in the winter, go boating in the summer on one of the lakes, or go white water rafting in Maine. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 you're conflating competency with prestige. prestige is aristocracy. its the british upper class. it has no basis in merit. all those you mentioned are competent in some way, so you revere them. fuku
+1 Bibibop Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 . warlord100
+1 In a lower tier RX consulting shop and will say that right now we're swamped with applicants, and a very respectable portion of that is people from IB, all the way from boutique to BB to EB. Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 Depends on the level. Should be fine as VP1 but wouldn’t recommend as VP2/3.  Director in IB - Cov
+1 holy wow congrats on greenhill, and rothschild is not in the same tier as EVR or JEF blubberz
+1 Back in the day bankers would have power lunches regularly and have drinks (not anymore). My group does the occasional happy hour around the office, not really places I’d want to hang out at. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Did you put your numbers into HBS' financial aid calculator? What did it say? I got into both schools, but HBS gave me more money. BuySideIntern
+1 Yeah, I was getting really excited thinking about the chance to be in nature and really enjoy my time there. A lot of what I was hoping to do, you already mentioned. monkeynevercramp
+1 I did. At most, it estimated I might be able to get ~$4K a year in aid sytycd
+1 Ok buddy, this gotta be the most performative post I’ve ever seen on WSO. Wrote a whole book and somehow left out bonesmashing (basically invalidates your entire post). Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You sound retarded Ngl. So many logical fallacies and lack of planning, even for a freshman. rooseveltfan
+1 this made me chuckle Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Will do, thanks. Enjoy the final 4. thereisnochoice
+1 Thank you Dave. Intern in PE - Other
+1 Just got CB SPD for SF Tablesz
+1 Biased but Dartmouth by a million years. Yes its remote but it is insanely fun if you are involved on campus, whether its joining clubs, greek life, societies, etc. blaedrose123
+1 Go to UF. MSF will still be tough if you can't get into one of the investment funds (Founders Fund/GSIF). If you are able to get in, those funds/MSF have great placements.  anchimp
+1 In my opinion, any finance internship is good training for your next summer. There's something even to be said about getting used to going in and out of an office at 9-5 everyday for people who have never done so. Tiakola_1
+1 OP here - while everything you said was really helpful, last part of your answer was particularly nice. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 This sounds like punting with huge stakes… slippageeater
+1 45 minutes actually isn't that short (mine are usually 30). SaaSChimp
+1 junkinthetrunk25 VP in PE - Other
+1 It’s purely a person by person thing. I went to an Ivy for ug and HBS for my MBA and I am generally pretty responsive to anyone who went to an Ivy for any degree (and random people in general, time permitting). Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 Bump. Doing legit the same exact thing Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 Yeah for sure - I think I’m leaning HBS as well at my core. sytycd
+1 Oxymoronic KageSelly
+1 Do commodities S&T in Houston Intern in HF - Other
+1 brother i know the feeling. in 2023, i didnt get a return offer after slaving away the entire summer and the girl i dated during the internship dumped me at the same day. it was truly brutal. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Holy cope. 20% of IB and PE is balding and has erectile dysfunction but you guys tell yourself this. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Why does this look like a dump from Gatto’s book? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I’ll loop you in on what happens. Thanks for this idea. ethannucdata
+1 Big tech is cooked boys RBOB_squarepants
+1 I'll play devils advocate and say UNC - Chapel Hi..... Is what an idiot would say, send the boy to Dartmouth, congrats on getting him into an Ivy. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Realistically marrying rich is for females only. Most relationships don’t work out either, better off betting on yourself than some female. If this post isn’t just troll. MyLossesAreUnrealizedSoTheyDontExist
+1 Why not both? Banking career is yours, your woman might be not in the future. Green Zeus
+1 Yeah I'm envisioning my life getting way better once I land a FT role or at least getting back to a large IB, when that is I'm not sure. I also was not in a good place this summer as I said in the original post. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Fellow Cali resident here - don’t rule out the cc route. Have a few buddies who took full advantage of the 2-yr free program offered by Cali cc’s and transferred to t20 schools, and broke into top eb / bb groups. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 The mistake here is comparing industries instead of seats. Ex-consultant in Tech
+1 Industrial team is well known for paying up for assets. They are almost always a tier 1 sponsor for relevant processes. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Minerals will heat up a bit more, upstream cooked with volatility as mentioned above. No buyer wants to give full credit to current pricing cases. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 “Semi-target” is crazy rooseveltfan
+1 Don’t renege. rooseveltfan
+1 It would have to be extremely robust with insane amounts of training data for any firms and bankers to consider using it. rooseveltfan
+1 Agreed UVA Econ is definitely the best choice out of the three. Not being in business school at UT and NYU is a major disadvantage  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Go to a West Coast target but happy to shed light on Midwest recruiting as I recently went through the process… AdviceMonkey10
+1 I guess i don't fully understand how people are using AI to underwrite deals.  What exactly is AI doing?  Setting the MLAs? Picking the rent comps? Finding sales comps? hard assets
+1 I think this is pretty bad advice. Tons of people recruit only for ny. I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t solely network and recruit for Chicago banks. If anything I think it will likely yield maybe easier results FortPill
+1 First those are rolling transactions so special situations allways have a deal pipeline. bluemonkeyeu
+1 This is a no brainer: Imperial. Either the MSc finance or MSc finance and accounting  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I would say largely similar advice - I don't see a ton of commodities moves but there just aren't many of them about. Commodity derivatives/options/volatility trading is probably best rather than spot.  Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 Similar skillset, my desk only really uses Python and I guess hedge funds might like C/C++ which is quite rare for people to know. But altogether similar, date science/regression/ML, the usual.  Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 Correction - the biggest cost is your forgone savings***, not your income.  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Getting a spring is not the be all and end all. https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6940372 nutmegger189
+1 Depending on the city, I've heard FTI M&A is a pretty sweet gig. Solid WLB (40-50 hour work weeks). Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Just saw that on Bloomberg and couldn't believe it. I have a friend who works there not focused on tech and a few weeks ago he said the mood has shifted  but it didn't feel dire.  ballsdeep singh
+1 Fairly straight forward move. They’ll hire out of industry / M&A seat just like traditional PE. Generic Banker
+1 Spot on. I'm at a different bank working on a team under H1B seniors. One of them gave me 200+ comments on a standard, routine annual review. Associate 1 in IB - CB
+1 Congrats on the acceptances, you're in an amazing position and I'm sure you've worked hard to get there Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Bump Intern in IB-M&A
+1 You kinda sound like a chode NuclearPenguins
+1 Not much, just get something on there - school clubs and positions of responsibility, random jobs, your own business, volunteering meaningfully - basically show you've been proactive in your life (not necessarily within fi nutmegger189
+1 3x LMM. But we do selectively reduce in some cases BooHooHoo
