+1 Stop jerking off Stern. You're crazy if you think they were 3rd to none per capita.  Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Not impossible, just hard. RX consulting will get your foot in the door for elite RX IB, but you’ve got to do the rest. The problem is more so the people you’ll be up against VP in IB - Restr

+1 He's being serious, I couldn't handle AKPsi, but I'm happy in PBL now. And I outplaced all of them treymckenney
+1 I'm in PBL as well, it's an amazing community with unparalleled alumni and upperclassmen mentorship systems in place. Definitely where you should try to rush if you're looking at a prestigious career like IB elliot cadih
+1 My r3 sounded a lot different than yours. Mine was fully behavioural. Yours sounds like my R2 which was very statistical FleetingSpirit
+1 Soggy biscuit too treymckenney
+1 Take a quick look on LinkedIn... there are plenty of UCC alumni in London. All from the BSc Finance though, so I hope you're doing that.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Interned over there my freshman summer, as I’m from Miami area. Pros: it’s real IB even though it’s super super niche. You also get to be in Brickell Miami, which is kinda awesome. Analyst0910
+1 Ok understand, so yes 7-10 days seems appropriate imo Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Harvard AB and Oxford MA is the perfect pedigree. VP in IB-M&A
+1 The Prestigemaxxer himself has spoken Teller in Non-profit
+1 lol this is so incredibly wrong. Anomaly? Junto? wtf MattsMatt12
+1 Harvard and Oxford are in their own league when it comes to universal name recognition. So a well-respected degree from both of those would be ideal. Manager in Consulting
+1 After your first few years in the workforce nobody cares which unis you went to. Managing Director in IB - Cov
+1 Curious, what are typical hours? I have heard it’s better than banking but curious if that’s true and what that means.  roofers_ionic_3k
+1 No. Just assuming I’m dinged at this point Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Oxford yes, Cambridge no. Manager in Consulting
+1 Can’t comment on the rest of this, but 2.1 is not sufficient. c.35% of all graduates get 1.1s days, and only 0.1% (or whatever) land high finance. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I didn't realize milk was cheap bc I only got milk and yogurt from the hotel buffets. On_The_Edge
+1 Can’t speak to SREF as I was RESF (Real Estate Syndication Finance), but it was mainly behavioral, the few technicals were kind of more so to see if I’ve applied real estate skills in my previous experiences. cmolt0918
+1 It means wrong nutmegger189
+1 Georgetown's placement into IB is absolutely what people make it out to be. It is a target school, and virtually all firms recruit from there for their US roles.  COO in HF - Event
+1 Within Oxbridge, Oxford is primus inter pares. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Tell us more about what a TikTok retard thinks recoveringalc
+1 I was raised in a rural part of Eastern Europe and the only two non-local universities that I knew of as a child were Harvard and Oxford. VP in Private Credit
+1 Harvard and Oxford > Harvard and Cambridge VP in Private Credit
+1 Fellow vet. Have seen many, many vets aspire to be bankers after serving and then crash and burn out after a year or two tops in IB…. VP in IB - Cov
+1 What is comp for WF around? Chan@
+1 If an athlete, Williams easily, but it not, definitely go for Cornell. I say this as an eph. Best of luck and congrats Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Houston and Dallas...the brother cities plagued by urban sprawl and drought of culture. Corporate slop fest towns everywhere, concrete jungle or barren land with just grass, no in between. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Associate 1 in IB - Cov asodhausd
+1 Seeing GGP being referred to as formerly known as Brookfield must seem a bit alien to anyone old enough to remember the original GGP pre buyout Prospect in RE - Comm
+1 Low headcount and landing mega-deals wuandale33
+1 rutgers really did kill it with ebs this year. have heard a little bit more in numbers than what’s been listed above. It is very impressive. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Went to Princeton, can confirm it's extremely easy to get into any BB/EB IB role though some firms like CVP/GS are still competitive to get even as non-diversity. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Ok great. That'll be solid experience. If you prep appropriately, I think you'll place well, particularly within MM (which is more flexible on branding than MFs which are more myopically MBB focused). SaaSChimp
+1 Sorry but unlikely to land BB IB in SG/HK from canadian colleges, only UST15+Oxbridge (or UST30 + LSE/maybe but less likely IC & UCL for local residence). WUOUVV
+1 Like how? blipbloop123
+1 No lots of people break in directly through the summer --> full-time role pipeline too.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Probably another SD occurring today, since they usually occur on Friday. Best of luck. Will keep you updated. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I work in co investing / secondaries at a family office and I think the people I work with are really not that smart. VP is kinda just dumb and I don’t trust my MD’s judgement when it comes to investing. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 Being post grad in Houston is rough. The bar scene isn’t great. Sure there’s Kirby Ice House and the other bars in the Heights but chicks are mid and just not super fun venues. rockiemountainoyster
+1 As a first-year at Harvard, go to Stanford if you want to avoid the wrath of Dean Claybaugh. Pro Veritate
+1 Stern will get you all the looks a columbia/uchicago type school will get you. Very solid placements into mmhf l/s. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Super interesting report. tbh I’m surprised that the number of students without offers isn’t higher given the change in job market and increased competition. Still shows how tough it remains to get your foot in though gilbertstocks
+1 I could probably help with a few of these, though as already mentioned NYC MF market tough.  MaxCRECapital
+1 Yeah my list is primarily based on social prestige. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 dude don’t compare yourself to these kids who went to wharton -> GS -> Blackstone or whatever. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Probably market dependent, but I've had a lot of success at department stores. They usually have some diversity of options and in house tailors. MonopolyMoney
+1 Unlikely. VP1 is usually $450-500k range at Canadian banks. If you are at Scotia then $350-400k VP in IB - Cov
+1 Either you land mega deals like Dyal / Allen or you land a ton of deals that can vary across $100M - $2B like Ardea Group or AEC Advisors Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Hi.... so I am basically in the same position. Applied for the Fig group on march 25th completed the hv .. and got 3days later an "under consideration" email. Nothing else since.Have you got any updates? ibd_qwerty

+1 German is the combination of bad culture and long hours. guillaume.alexandre
+1 Any thoughts around potential for an exit to a HF role from co-invest? On one hand, the job is relatively similar, you have access to lots of research / data and your job is simply to make investment decisions. Prospect in CorpStrat
+1 Any from Loo this yr? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 yeah close/below 42 gets a bit grimey. overall, i think its a great first neighborhood to be in. rents will be cheaper as the housing stock is older, less/no amenities and walk-ups. MrWilliamEmerson
+1 Hell’s Kitchen is paradise  gayerthanchristmas
+1 definatley learn vba and maybe python/sql (build a few projects and learn how to use different libaries) ILOVEBANANAS123
+1 10 days is a bit too long. I'd lower your expectations and accept the ding after 14 days. Best of luck, though. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 let me work for u Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 It ain’t over till I see someone post on LinkedIn abt it😭 cmolt0918
+1 . vermillion235
+1 Rather than a specific trend I think there has a been a measurable shift away from target schools across the street this year, targets still placed well but a lot of non-targets have been eating away at traditional target Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 This is crazy. I assume Evercore (M&A only) is probably like half the size of MS or JPM? Yet they are generating ~70-80% of their fees Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 To answer your question: Harvard BA + Oxford BA. Not even a question lol Donkey from Shrek
+1 Know it's hard to say, but do you think the mid-level market (which to my understanding has been rough since 2023) will permanently be this competitive / sparse? As in there's a permanent reduction in seats across PE. innoutfan
+1 Start interviewing now to find somewhere else to go, it’s a declining franchise Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 How do they rank? Can anyone at UBS explain how it works from the inside perspective? Intern in IB - Cov

+1 does this answer his question ya dimwit Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I agree, I always thought a more accurate categorization would be: Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 These roles have been popularized and glorified through social media + excess spillovers from rough job market in tech/med/engineering fields has led to this current terrible state Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 They start June 7 (tuff 6 7 reference) Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 it was less competitive for me this year because I already did an internship banks are really pidgeonholing people into specific roles based on their backgrounds Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I mean it's not exactly entry level since they have years of experience beforehand. That's high, but if it's something like Insight that's not particularly surprising. Determined
+1 BA >>> any DPhil programme at Oxford in terms of prestige. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 You’re the only person to have made such a claim on this thread. Is there a reason why you believe this? It seems to be objectively false. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 School does matter, but it’s along the lines of people in groups helping other alums get their preferred groups. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
