Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+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
+1 im a freshman finance major at uf right now and my gpa is a 3.55 cus of mental health problems throughout this year. shawn24
+1 Sounds like Goldman Dallas  tryyuav
+1 Isn’t AEC Adv. and Gugg above some of these? Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I think REB is out cmolt0918
+1 An1 (first full year) -> An2 fx/rates sales 125k base, 100k bonus. Feels pretty good. Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 Junto isnt anything special. Myriad of better places to work Principal in HF - Event
+1 how long to hear back after SD? bpity
+1 Clients won’t start seeing your face until you make it to Sr VP, so no one will care about your appearance. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 A good chunk of wells fixed income operation is in Charlotte, so if you want to be in NYC I would go with BNP. Director in S&T - FI
+1 There is a somewhat long tail of no name shops but working at these firms may cause some issues in the long-run, a few names (indicative list) worth looking into include: klpd_klpd
+1 I don't think it's a super target in the traditional sense that Wharton is, rather a case of it's still super easy to get an offer from Princeton because A) people respect the school meaning all the major banks will try to Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Vandy and Georgetown do well. Never heard of the other schools doing well in my research, but could be wrong. accidentanalyst
+1 Salary progression is terrible. As a junior, brokerage is only good for the deal reps. lemickey
+1 man just fucking clear it up. There are drugs that help you out with this. Accutane, Tretonin, Lymecycline etc Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 On the junior levels the bankers easily win. Then in mid+ potentially the consultants. At Partner level it’s irrelevant. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 What does (EVR/PJT/CVP) calibre firms even mean? There aren’t any other firms of that calibre Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Incoming first year corporate banking analyst at a BB in London £60k base + £6k signing No clue on bonus expectations  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 What is it about Canadians that are so hardo. You will very rarely see a “How did SEC schools fair in NY recruiting” or a “How did Italians do in London recruiting” thread. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah, you are right. It’s a painful theme across most BBs and European dominated team. I despise having conversation in local languages during working hours but it’s so well penetrated and hard to change unfortunately davani1420
+1 Harvard BA, Oxford MA Consultant in Consulting
+1 Whatever you do, do not go to 47th street if you’re serious about the authenticity of your watches. Super hard to verify that everything is authentic, and you’re more likely than otherwise to get a Frankenstein. LogiSticks
+1 Both two of the top desks. Macro credit is more versatile, yes, but try to end up on the nonlinear side (options/tranches/curves). Rates vol would lean towards gamma pod to start. Intern in S&T - Other
+1 Thank you for the insights man, I have the same view. I think I will opt for ESCP Sir IB_7
+1 Negotiated this a year ago but was a lucky case. B-school buddies essentially indistingushable from me in the class of 2023-4 (!) are still looking and messing around with CorpDev and startups. flipcup
+1 You might find OperPokerAI interesting. There's a thread on r/poker right now Lancer
+1 Ducera as well rooseveltfan
+1 Do not do this ^ Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Yes, true. I’m an ASO3 at a BB and probably make less than ASO1 at these shops. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Essec is 1/3rd French, 1/3rd Asian, and another 1/3rd is African. Escp is like 40-50% Italian if I remember correctly. I think the network effects are much stronger for you at ESCP. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Mine wasn’t, but are you also waiting to hear back from a SD before GF? Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 You need Propranolol  newlymintedbooth
+1 clientkid420Curious about a few things here: lujanahum
+1 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Their M&A grouphead bought a crazy $5m New Rochelle waterfront villa, reflective of the crazy pay package he must be getting Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 lol EVR is the same size as LAZ and not sure where you got the data for MS having less bankers vs EVR... EVR has 1.6K bankers globally (not just M&A), pretty sure MS has much more lol Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Lateral to IB brother Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Interviewed here about a year ago. Absolutely some of the worst people I've ever met. Managing directors have 0 personal or social skills and are condescending. Founder is also just a strange guy. Rev+EBITDA
+1 Definitely interested to know how things turned out for OP. I'm hoping they were able to secure something. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 In IB but only on post bc did SD with NY office during ug. RX CO (along with RX IB, Levfin, and opportunistic PC) is just a technical field in general. rolo25
+1 One other issue to consider. Unfortunately, your acne is likely to get worse during IB. The stress, lack of sleep, and unhealthy diet all will exacerbate things. 23mich
+1 Yes, 2am Mo-Th is quite standard. You ll definitely also have weekend work, but for most shops I wouldn't say it's every weekend. More like every 2nd/3rd weekend or so. GoPikachu
+1 UGA on the rise UBSTopBucket
+1 I personally would take the MM Huge gamble as you could end up unemployed if you don’t convert  designa888
+1 What are they feeding the guys at Evercore man, damn...  professional.form.filler
+1 13 in HC ggtzjnsiksbai
+1 If I had an internship in M&T or M&A or FIG or RELL, I would try to get the return offer but then leave for a different bank. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 On the RX consulting side, but not bad. I think I get fairly compensated for the work I put in. Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 First of all, congrats! I think you should decide based on which colleges location, vibes, or academics interest you the most. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 How do you vet the opportunity? I'm interviewing around and don't want to make a mistake user123xD
+1 I’d prefer a bit more on your own deals, but your carry is the most fair part. Salary and bonus are low, IMO.  CRE
+1 I know Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Mubadala Investment Company are in Dubai and the Public Investment Fund has a big presence in London. Associate 1 in Legal
+1 You’re definitely at Moelis lol Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 He’s a troll who goes to Cambridge and copes over the fact that Cambridge is not as well-known by third-worlders and random laypeople as Harvard/Oxford are. Intern in Acct - Tax
+1 I wouldn’t go to Dubai at this time. VP in CorpStrat
+1 You nailed it. These were the exact emotions I went through when I took a Corp Dev role Pietro C.
+1 Congrats on dartmouth Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 They need your services to open the Strait of Hormuz Consultant in IB - Gen
+1 Congrats on USC of the west (south carolina is a better school) Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 In very broad strokes: UChicago = intellectual, nerdy, and maybe slightly socially awkward. Stern = knew they wanted to do finance at 15, extremely competitive, and technically savvy. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 After spring sports I’m planning to go full throttle into SAT. I’m working on getting an internship at the moment but if it doesn’t pan out I’ll be working that regular old job. MyLossesAreUnrealizedSoTheyDontExist
+1 Agree with this. Also, “strong hiring demand” is maybe one additional seat. They’d rather just give a bigger bonus to their current seats, and if they don’t, most would just poach. whackyworm
+1 Yeah I’ll be going on senior status. I did my secondary (minor for most unis) in economics so I had a decent enough foundation to get senior status. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Del BankingBeluga
+1 Well of course.. Oxford is one of the oldest universities in the world, ingrained in the British culture and the other is a business school with a campus there for a few decades. How is it a good comparison?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Preach brother finestride saved my hair. Started losing stupid amounts of hair at 19 but after hopping on finestride at 20 90% has grown back. I take 1mg daily and it’s a straight up miracle drug. Job Trunicht
+1 I'm curious - in RE is it more on you to reach out to HHs unlike Banking where it's the other way around? wetlamplord
+1 Another point, are you on a visa or not? If you are, it’s a huge gamble as you’re risking getting sent back home Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks to both of you for your comments, ofc the Oxbridge are another rank, but I also saw that there are more ESCP a Sir IB_7
+1 If you want to work in finance and not consulting, even if HEC MiM is one of the best programs in the world, the MS in Finance at Bocconi is the deal (it would be diferent if it had been the HEC MiF). Sir IB_7
+1 Look at this UBS clown, always full of excuses Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 When I first started at UBS they were 5th, that’s why a goal of 6th was originally reasonable on the (now laughable) press tour they did claiming that Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 DB Ind very sweaty but beasts - well regarded across the street. Good exits recently as well (ie Apollo, Carlyle, Blackstone, KKR) nordicsx
+1 my understanding is that its a very strong team and well regarded across the street - good deal exposure (very sweaty) and A+ exits (ie Apollo, Carlyle, KKR, Blackstone) recently nordicsx
+1 Betting is a degenerate activity. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Stern did well this year. IAG placed half top BB/EB and half top buyside.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I have friends at Rothschild. Comp is pretty mid most years, and it’s a total black box as to what it’ll ever be. A close family friend is a very productive MD there and he’s looking to move.  user_5991
+1 Good luck, looking for similar pivot as well. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 it probably means there's no hard cut off policy Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Fantastic culture Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 What ended up happening there? Did Vanderbilt’s career center get involved? CuriousGeorge1024
+1 Friend worked there 2-3 years ago and said the senior folks / overall investment strategy was pretty mediocre. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 UCC won’t carry you obviously, so you need the right internship/grad role to jump to LDN (unless you can jump straight over but that will be a bit harder). You’d be most able to land stuff in Dublin. Murphy_1827
+1 This is great advice. Over-explaining or talking continuously after you made your point will only dig you into a hole or sets you up to say something you shouldn't.   Band of Monkeys
+1 LMAO alright kid Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 JPM actually notorious for this Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You’ll take a haircut vs London in gross base salary but there’s obviously the tax benefit. You should get a relocation bonus but guarantee unlikely as you’re moving from a sell side role.  Rocky6
+1 Your American favouritism is showing. How is it biased sampling? Just because people disagree with you doesn’t make them biased. What kind of logic is that!?! DeletedAccount...
+1 Quora is just a Asian/Indian forum at this point. Most of the Asian elite also send their kids to the HYPSM schools. Know a couple of Asian billionaires and politican kids who went to my school over Oxbridge as well. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I grew up in a rural part of a middle-income SEA country and I think I knew of Harvard when I was 5 and of Oxford when I was 5-6. Didn’t know what Cambridge was until a few years ago when I moved to the UK. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Thank you so much for the insights! I really appreciate it Prospect in IB - DCM
+1 Lol I just saw they were originally estimating $379,506 per unit all-in. Just north of Avondale in Peoria there is a 2021 deal being marketed right now for $210,000 per unit. Multiverse
+1 You can check on team page yourself, but have been told directly by people on the team they give their top performing associate a direct promote offer. Sometimes they still go MBA. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah agreed - if people want to query the platform let them do that in a separate section acardboardmonkey
+1 Idk man I'm a male poc myself and just fit in fine, probably helps that I'm not a fob and grew up abroad with WASPs so it's just regular interactions for me. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 You da man. Did you change your name too? Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Making this about yourself you clout chasing loser Investment Analyst in VC
+1 It's great. I'm from a PE background myself, and can attest that it's notably better in terms of WLB, especially if you join a billable hours firm. More interesting long term as well. Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 Will post a thread here posted in the Slack. Forensically proving this was set up by perplexity. These kids are nepos. Principal in HF - Other
