+1 Bump Anonymus21
+1 Bringing up networking is all I need to know about your experience in this Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Yes that’s effectively what I’m saying. Think back to Econ 101. You have a supply curve and a demand curve. Rents on Y axis, units occupied on X axis. larry david
+1 I think $4k is reasonable but would be a little more than I’m comfortable with if it were me. When I was an ASO1 with around 400k TC, I was paying 3.1k. VP in IB-M&A
+1 Caffeine pills are so fire Intern in IB-M&A
+1 I use it for everything in consulting. I don't particularly like my job (no room for growth, terrible culture) and I know I'm underpaid by a good amount (my company cut salaries a few years ago by a good 15-20%).  NewIndustryHorizon
+1 The internet is dead go outside  HitTheAsk
+1 Not sure it will be that straightforward to pivot to any of these  without some loss in seniority given you‘re a VP already (maybe excl activism). Associate 2 in HF - Event
+1 Bars… straight bars ngl brother. I’m taking notes… gkk1234
+1 Buy land AJ, God ain’t making any more of it! God's Sanest Cokehead

+1 Have you ever interviewed mid-levels? The reality is that there are hundreds of qualified candidates. What puts one candidate above others is often very trivial. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah, strictly talking off-market deals. I've done it in the state I have my license in, and that's not a problem. landacqclt

+1 Those are ridiculous bonuses to get treated like crap.  chasejames677

+1 Associate 2 in PE - LBOs buyside_only
+1 Usually it's all team dependent and market dependent, but between those two, could also be product line dependent. From my experience, H&R is usually Net Leased/Retail Investment sales and CBRE could be anything. MonopolyMoney
+1 Classic clunky monkey
+1 No. Blue owl is always at the lowest rank on the comps. I honestly wonder how anyone will even join the firm. BBB pays much more than they do on the base to associates. pombidoo

+1 100 hours a week doesn't guarantee success as an entrepreneur. try it and let us know how it goes. CEO in PE - LBOs

+1 Collateralized Fund Obligations 😎 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 good southern school and non target school don't go hand in hand. if you are at UVA, UNC, Duke, maybe even SMU, then you are not cooked. if you are at a non target, yes, you are cooked since 3.5 will kill you. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Equities portion was just tracking the S&P. Nothing special. FraccDaddy
+1 You can find a lot of color about SP on other credit HF threads. I also used to know someone there. Their culture is brutal. Associate 2 in HF - Event

+1 GHL used to be the top EB in the 2000s/early 2010s, probably along with BX Advisory and LAZ. They were still doing quite well in the second half of the 2010s, but they clearly diminished in the last ~5 years. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 I’ve considered it but not sure what I would go do instead. While we may have some transferable skills it seems hard to market those to people outside of CRE who don’t really know what we do. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
