+1 LOLLLL throaway56784

+1 26 here. Moved away from my hometown to a super fun city at 22 to start my career and raged hard up until 25. HitTheAsk
+1 I'm assuming you go Warwick? It's the only semi target (msc level) outside of London. I also don't understand why you'd even remotely consider doing a 2nd masters?? Maybe IB is just not for you.  Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Depends on what you’re solving for out of a PE associate program. B-school / HF looks? Would assume you’d be better off at a legacy name given connections and brand. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 +1 to DavidBakerr -- What I would do though is spend time tracking and researching adjacent sectors.  Determined

+1 Piling on only cause I was a Cap One BA intern and now in MBB - you take MBB in every world. C1 BA (excluding strategy) is a not a good place for career progression. ktest2021
+1 because nobody in this forum has ever done anything on their own, bunch of NPC box-checker linear-thinkers who want directions to the next rung on the ladder to MD  HuskiesRE

+1 S Tier is missing Gorilla Mind. Plz fix, thx. (Bonus points if you combine with zyn) Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Bro if Qatalyst isn’t considered an EB, Leerink sure is not. There’s no such thing as an “EB for biopharma” and additionally, most actual EBs’ HC teams are better than Leerink. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 You must be french Jokes aside I've seen plenty of people do OCs outside of uni. Doesn't change what I said though about the competitiveness of a semi target. nutmegger189
+1 Yes exactly - this is a great use case for affirmative action.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 IB to HF is infinitely easier. In a good Banking group you become a modelling machine. First_Lien_Larry

+1 Celsius is the Chick Fil A of energy drinks but without the Christianity or friendly service. crazylifechoices
+1 you're probably right.  i've seen it done and i think those guys are pretty happy/doing pretty well.  nobody on here likely knows the answer to that or wants to do that, but you're prob right. HuskiesRE
+1 have seen it done (well, to acquisitions off the top of my head),.... albiet w less expeirence than what you have, prob easier the less you have in some ways (pigeonholing and all, you know how it goes) .... HuskiesRE
+1 Patriot Raijin
+1 Not sure if its you but someone else said this on this forum. But would love to get to know more about this is going. Not that I am going to do it, but just like to see how other industries are. VP in RE - Comm
+1 Agreed, no one here likely wants to do that and if they do, they aren't here in the first place. That said, it's still a decent question to think about.  Works at CBRE
+1 ok jeet spamreporter11
+1 Its an unfortunate name match, the indicted Weiss (who is interchangeably called Mordichai/Mordechai in media but only Mordichai in the DOJ filings) is married to a "Basya Weiss" who helped him conspire to commit wire frau loona252020
+1 If you're working 80+ hour weeks as an associate, you are incompetent with AI  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 yea my actual mistake was giving a guy free airtime to project his insecurities and let it get to me. Need to get better at cutting my losses faster Anonymous Monkey
+1 Correct, the team followed Lori to Cascadia. Cascadia seems to be scaling rapidly and have expanded their reach into both restructuring (from intrepid) and equity capital solutions (from HL / Triago). ccappwwrr
+1 I left as a VP to healthcare tech. You’re looking at a base of $250-$300 + 20-50% cash bonus + equity. Structure varies by firm but you should be looking at total comp of $450-$600 in Bay Area or nyc VP in IB - Cov
+1 I don’t have a whole lot to say other than I also feel that way. Wish I had an earring and visible tats. My friends at work and outside of work couldn’t be more different honestly. tfgf

+1 Business school will never have the same prestige as undergrad Prospect in Research - Other
+1 They have the lowest comp ratio of any bank (within corporate and investment banking). That likely will not change under Moynihan. IB fees have recovered significantly for BofA… along with all the other banks. VP in IB - Gen

+1 Go touch some grass kid californiakid2003
+1 the only leverage in IB is your ability to walk away  Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Congrats on UBS Tech! But no seriously, you will be fine. If people from consulting can do fine and get promoted, someone even in a banking team with no deals should have more than enough required technical knowledge. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 . Investment Analyst in IB - Gen
+1 Ty sir! Investment Analyst in IB - Gen
+1 Nothing like an early afternoon round on a Friday WMjockey

+1 I think in 5+ years we could see some real headwinds for younger analysts/associates who recently have entered the space or are going to. VP in PE - Other

+1 Great achievement! We’ve seen a similar impact in Accounts Payable, where automating invoice validation, PO matching, and approval workflows significantly reduces manual effort and errors. rohit3
+1 bro really cooked in here, gotta say a good list ! foreverishiii17
+1 Haven't applied to masters, but from a purely career point of view, would it be worth taking the FT and targeting an internal transfer / secondment to Europe, since you're set on leaving HK anyway? agudeza
+1 Ok you are generalizing one client dinner when in reality it is several + per diem on the road. But agree when you do the math on a transaction it comes out to accretive anon35om
+1 I've been loving the BUM Essential Preworkout Sour Watermelon flavor. Goes down easy, makes me feel absolutely insane in the best way.  Fast and Fiduciary
+1 Another vote for a small developer/operator. None of bureaucracy, rinse-and-repeat IC memos, investor reporting, or super defined and siloed roles. Developer in RE - Comm
+1 lucky / successful on a cold application. I needed to compensate for my lack of outstanding academic performance and non-target status, so I included full-fledged investment memos as part of my application.  FraccDaddy
+1 Stay there  Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Thank you -- super helpful and agreed, but 17 years too late unfortunately.  jackofalltrades
+1 You’ll be fine technically, the job is not that hard to be fair (unless you’re doing infra modelling then you need proper experience). Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 ask the school, like yesterday.  hutcointraders
+1 Thanks for your response, I do agree with you. AIbubble
+1 Depends what level you come in as. I came in post MBA with ~3-5 years of experience in an industry that I now cover in my consulting practice. Narrowing down to functional scope has been hard. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Discern what current pod positioning is and do the opposite.  thisisanexampleofausername
+1 Some study abroad programs will let you leave early if you get an internship, and in my experience consulting firms (unlike banks) will generally let you push start dates if you’re still studying abroad. fettywacc
+1 No they don't, the supply inflation that ongoing is due to inelastic demand for energy inputs, a 50-100bps hike isn't going to change that demand much. jarstar1
+1 Congrats on UBS loudest_safe
+1 I hate playing politics, so having the chance of the offering firm hear I was interviewing elsewhere just puts me in an uncomfortable position that I wanted to avoid. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Has UBS Tech or M&T seen any traction this year? Worth interviewing? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Not an ASO, but firm has Q1 YE / bonuses paid ~June  Principal in PE - Other
+1 All I can say is you sound too young and too naive to be able to fully appreciate the gargantuan task that your potential CIO has in front of him. Benson Says
+1 I lowkey see this happen a lot Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Damn that means Smoke Frog had a chance too Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 The way people actually do this is they rely on experience and intuition and they speak to people in the market. Usually one person discovers something and it spreads through word of mouth. nutmegger189
+1 It’s not complicated, just don’t beat around the bush. Say you’ve had a wonderful experience and have gained incredible mentors but you think this change will be best for your personal development . Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Recent MIT MSRED grad, feel free to ping.  LineofCredit
+1 Coming from IB, you already know the deal mechanics, but SMB financials are an absolute mess compared to corporate/public files. Hanlon
+1 Again, you need to re-read what i wrote. I am fully aware what you are saying and I actually agree with you; I am just pointing out that my question was not being answered by your comments. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 I appreciate all your comments, but again most of you do not reflect what I have asked.  Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 ^in similar boat - been in the VP seat for a few years now and both myself / other mid levels at my firm are sort of hanging around the hoop, seeing if performance can turn a corner / carry will be worth something. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 I’m moreso referring to the drink. However, have used the preworkout in the past and it was my go to preworkout for lifting. Used to take their stim preworkout when studying. mn-hopeful
