+1 Congrats on radical transparency! Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 The salary is top of line and any additional bonus is eventually a bottom line expense so PM has incentives to pay you at the 200k salary cap (at our pod I default to 200k base for everyone who I expect will be earning 300 PM in HF - Other
+1 I heard it was slightly better this past December .... still bad a below street tho wsouser00

+1 Which was your idea I see all theR2 ideas  Principal in HF - Event
+1 Yes Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 (1) Stat arb - NO. It's an entirely different strategy. It goes back to the point that the ideas need to have fundamental rationales, not just statistical significance. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 What was the optimal networking window for recruiting London SA '27? Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Agree with what you said. But IR jobs don’t come around all the time. investor45

+1 Sorry guys but JPM is ahead of MS in every possible group in terms of dealflow. gelato_cuspids1d
+1 You’re lost. JPM runs an IB analyst headcount almost 3x the size of MS and still underperforms in Tech, M&A, Sponsors, Media, Power & Utilities- just to name a few. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 Chris Powers was a guy with zero talent. Complete bozo. Fort Crapital.  QueefLatifah69
+1 Are you in levfin lol Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Brigade used to be very good place to work. Think somewhat less now but worth considering and doesn’t get discussed. CPDDOUGH
+1 26North ended up raising 6bn, so your prediction came true. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah but “he looks like he was born out of his mother’s butthole” is new to me. Can’t wait to let that rip on someone MacBuilds
+1 I was dating a highly demanding / turbulent young woman coming out of college / starting my analyst program. If I could have had the mental clarity of no fights, no check-ins, I probably would have done much better. johnny-mnemonic
+1 sounds like a search fund heize
+1 How is FSG? Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Very legit point Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Nexpoint and their flagship REIT NXRT. Over levered with interst rate caps falling off and NOI compression. Bad reputation and a slew of legal issues.  QueefLatifah69
+1 VP in PE - LBOsLook at "economyisland" comment history - 5 comments all defending Onex economyisland
+1 People said the same thing last year, and the year before that. They underpay because they deliberately choose to, not because they have a bloated headcount. RBOB_squarepants
+1 Spain is just more well rounded. Argentina has gotten to the finals on the back of luck and very good striking, but their defense and ball possession is not to the same tier as Spain. usernameladiesman217
+1 You wouldn't be competitive for GSB Intern in Consulting
+1 UBS - easy choice Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 JBG reddemon
+1 Username checks out 👍 Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+1 For this type of final round, I would focus less on building a perfect DCF and more on showing that you can quickly understand a business and form an investment view. DavidBakerr
+1 Ray Dalio is Yertle the Turtle. And Yertle the Turtle is the King of the Mud. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Are you cutting analyst hiring because business is down or because AI makes things more efficient? larry david
+1 Bouse mogger. The prestigie doesn’t count if you’re ugly. It’s just doesn’t register as impressive and nobody cares. analyst1238
+1 No Works at Morgan Stanley
+1 2.5 year cycle with a winter stub - base is now 110/115/125. Used to be a 3y cycle with 2y early promote option. ebitd4
+1 Heard he’s doing terrible but will still get an offer Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 move alani nu up and reign down Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Mega cap deals are typically on much tighter timelines, which naturally causes late nights. Some firms also just require more in depth memos for IC so that’s a consideration as well. Associate 1 in Private Credit
+1 I would think of Stanford as more traditional entrepreneurship via startups. Harvard definitely has that route too. Another common thread across both is entrepreneurship through acquisition / search fund. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 You are clearly using terms you do not understand. Stat arb is a quant strategy that is almost always fully automated by design. Benson Says
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, Blackstone's culture and team dynamics can vary significantly depending on the group. Here are some key insights: Culture: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 I know a Director dealing with this rn with a 2nd yr associate. She shows up at 11am and leaves at 4pm, goes on long coffee walks, doesn’t do much work, etc. Will go around saying he’s too intense / not being inclusive. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 You’re fried bro Intern in IB - Restr
+1 Definitely thinking about joining a startup as well. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Ignore my title. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 They just raised an oversubscribed 3.5bn fund above their target this year, so can't be that bad. Maybe it's just due to the longer-term nature of PE, but looks like they at least have another shot.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 keep it lowkey but im defaulting on their private credit simbarawr264
+1 Fixed + Floating is also pretty decent troymclure2876

+1 This fund is an absolute joke and they are primarily SF based (actually Burlingame) VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Yeah LBS is the best masters you can do to be honest, outside of HEC Paris (imo). Yes, have seen people roll straight into the grad scheme / FT after internships - all depends on needs of the team and/or how anal HR is. Gray Langur
+1 IB - best training/experience plus pedigree and maximizes how many doors stay open SaaSChimp
+1 Test will likely be on healthcare sector and involve a three statement + dcf but keep in mind this can be delivered in many forms. wm3
+1 True. Also ex-CS ones Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Disagree, it's too niche and not anywhere near as established as the s tier ones. May personally be an S tier, but can't extrapolate it. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 ex-CS deserve less  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Ah damn not sure why I forgot the green tea. B tier for me, it's got around 45mg of caf, so like a quarter of coffee, and can't compete with the heavy hitters imo. Basically too gentle. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 QueefLatifah69Chris Powers was a guy with zero talent. Complete bozo. Fort Crapital.  Rick Kane
+1 Strawberry Dreams / white monster s+ tier and most alani flavors Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I recruited FT last summer - basically no hits networking until last week in July/early August, and most of the FT interviews were the last week of August through September. big_dawg
+1 this guy knows. would also second tropical vibe. Prospect in Research - FI
+1 I’d be totally guessing but meaningfully less than equivalent at a traditional fund, maybe 30-40% haircut to MM comp but get carry??  SaaSChimp
+1 Ashland Greene is having a ton of trouble. Underwater on most of their assets. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 tryyuavThe 3rd worlders must be happy their team won.  Guarantee you’ve never left Florida  IsItREPE
+1 Untrue, but will help. Am at BB S&T in HK, not many people from analyst to MD in sales who don't speak a lick of Cantonese nor Mandarin.  asian monkey

+1 Also depends on company. If you are at Bain with more local work - may be tougher. If you are at McK or BCG (especially if at a smaller office with less in-office work) you may end up traveling a lot anyways Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 Ghosts are so good bru Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 did 1st round last week haven't heard for 2nd yet ascephius
+1 Thank you and best of luck on rd2 when it comes! Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Depends on which group. Exits ops are lagging the current standing in deal flow and league tables, expect it to normalize in 2-3 years. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 If those AMERICANS did not get the job, then they are not qualified, period lenoxhillrunner
+1 So you're probably replying to my original post. In retrospect, I actually became a lot more "hardo", but I do have the knowledge and social acumen to back it up now, at least I think I do.  Prospect in Risk Mnmgt
+1 Anyone else notice this? Every single One Rock thread (and many MM threads) has the same "VP in PE - LBOs" (rank "H") showing up to defend/promote the firm with a silver lining, often quoting his "friend" who works there. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
