+1 would 100% choose a 4-year university as it would be a better chance for transferring assuming cost is a non-issuethe stigma of going to cc is unfair but real  Intern in IB - DCM
+1 Any london VP figures someone pls? Thanks in advance  Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+1 Agree with above.  Stop trying to impress everyone - You'll never find true fulfillment down that path.   rolo25
+1 Liquid credit is paradise Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 usually better commercial judgement, which starts mattering more over time - while financials / modelling etc where the bankers have an edge becomes less important (or at least you do less of it yourself) VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Capital Markets, Asset Management, RX Consulting/MBB, Private Credit are probably your best bet. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 trash exits Incoming Analyst in IB - Gen
+1 Assuming you mean FO/TO, the better paying groups in FVA, it’s around 120-40 TC if they’re still at 100 base. Pretty good comp for the much.chiller hours compared to CF/FRG Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 Online says 80-90 whoooo
+1 Given that you are posting on WSO about MF PE programs and TMT banking in high school Im going to assume you will hit the ground running. mikelittle.08
+1 I was shockingly shown the reality of VC analyst salaries in London after my 2nd internship in VC. Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 Done both. Had same amount of outreach from HHs/BD in both too. IB is much much better from a technical standpoint, but ER, especially in your sector, has way more intricacies than any other industry. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Hey man, on campus recruiting will still be useful but you can definitely land west coast if you have a good why SF answer (which you already do since you have family). zoomizoomi
+1 Congrats on the GS interview wallstreetoctopus
+1 Was there for a bit, it was fine, nothing really exciting but it's a multifamily reit so expected. Teams were pretty siloed imo and seems like future growth in mainly going to be suburban sunbelt. Developer in RE - Comm
+1 Corporate banking comp is nice for the hours worked. Although the pay disparity gets wider as you become more senior (relative to IB), it's solid money. Analyst 2 in IB - CB
+1 They asked what he thought they should mark Red Lobster loan at because they’re having a hard time with the math Swine-Linked-Notes
+1 Big funds and banks don't let you trade anything on your own, but smaller prop funds sometimes have no restrictions. You can still buy real estate and possibly private/VC rounds. cp5670
+1 Cross border deals happen but are a very small percentage of total deals. If I was a US client I’d be 90% concerned with what’s going on in the US - capital markets, targets, etc. RBOB_squarepants
+1 Anyone apply to the Development Manager position in their Boston office? Wonder if they’ve moved forward with someone. DebtChug
+1 Then run, not walk, at the Dartmouth offer. Huge network, target school for most meaningful areas of finance, and you'll be graduating debt free. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 The HR lady was a joe schmoe so I'll never be able to pivot to a MF, let alone an UMM. Imagine saying these words to someone in real life and not typing them on a forum online. Developer in RE - Comm
+1 The only time it is harder is if you are going between equally weighted schools. For example, if you went from Harvard to Yale, yale mut question why here, so you should have a good reason. Assistant in Legal
+1 OP - the best trips are ones where you let the place come to you and there are a handful of moments you'll always remember, rather than the place. thebrofessor

+1 Not sure where you got "never" from. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 You're going to age anyways, may as well do it in a seat that you like or one that better sets you up for the life that you want.  PEPrincess
+1 Stanford. Anyone recommend you go to UVA is actively sabotaging you.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 yeah, thats my personal hesitation to eu pe. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Warwick Econ has more S&T offers than Imperial EFDS this year so they're not on equals Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I’d be surprised if anyone saying UVA doesn’t go to UVA Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 replied to you in messages 07311971
+1 Yes WW Econ has like 300 students only about the top 10% get anything decent. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Apply everywhere, get an offer from one or some of these schools first then come back Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 It’s a numbers game… You can either a) try and have a small chance or b) not try and have a 0% chance. Just don’t do anything dumb and ruin a future potential connection. Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Know how to build a model inside and out. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Absolutely. Take all hard classes after recruiting. Just make sure you take Finance/Financial Accounting Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Can you elaborate on the corporate structure? Is their long term incentive something other than just a percentage of a promote on deals you’re working on? Developer in RE - Comm
+1 Not close. Works at McKinsey
+1 Curious to why you think Oxford has a slight edge over Cambridge because I’m deciding which Oxbridge university to apply to next year and would want to work internationally. Intern in PE - Other
+1 Yeah mate they are still phenomenal places and not like you can choose between several offers of this caliber, you just sign the first one you get. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Guy from Vandy sent screenshots (possibly fabricated) to the HR departments of banks and tried to get the offers of his classmates revoked. tappedintonothing
+1 hey, I'm really sorry about your personal life getting in the way of your professional ambitions. sillyguy458
+1 Can you comment on markets post Iran war? Everyone seemed busy but do you see markets calming down? Wondering if it’s a good time to move internally Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+1 . Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Can I dm you? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Can't if you're anon Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Find a solid RIA that’s looking to develop their own talent. Ideally 5-10+ billion AUM. Make connections and learn how to service people. Sainté
+1 Have you found the lay prestige difference worth it? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 If you are doing Regional Coverage (i.e. Midwest Coverage at Baird), traditional finance exits (M&A, RX, PE, PC, etc.) will be an uphill battle. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 In private credit currently (ignore title), this just might be repeating what we want to believe but the consensus has been the disciplined shops will be fine and if anything this is a great opportunity. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 Reps is the simple answer honestly, you’ll get more comfortable with it and stop rushing/hedging (‘like, basically’) your statements Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Hey, its a bit hard to make some general comments.  LevFin Lab Newsletter
+1 Categorically false. Cause clearly all the Americans at UBS and BoA get paid great bonuses…. wait Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yeah cause the American VP at GS / MS / EVR is always pushing back against their MDs/SMDs for things that are clearly not value adding… oh wait IB is a hierarchical job and a MD doesn’t care if a citizen or H1B pushes back Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Takes a while for those things to change, HC has some good (for a db coverage) pockets. Industrials is pitch heavy / gets a lot of shots on goal, so you’ll work a lot but people seem generally nice. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 That's a bad idea. UFOinsider
+1 Negligible difference in outcomes as other commentators have said, but I’d argue that Dartmouth being on the East Coast and being more traditional finance focused, vs Stanford where tech and startups dominate, will mean th pants_pooper_67
+1 Take the Fordham offer and run.  Lehigh is not a $80k better degree than Fordham. Terrier
+1 Sorry to hear about your circumstances. Frankly, you don't have a whole lot of options right now. I'd personally be looking at two things: Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 They may have FIG experience but may be awful. Dont let it worry you, it’s an internship. More impressed by someone who goes from 0 to 70% understanding that someone going from 60 to 75% if that makes sense Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 kelley no way this is even up for debate Intern in IB - Cov
+1 u of a is basically a daycare Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Analyst 2 in PE - LBOsAh, yeah I read about that competition and wondered how it would go. I think people are missing the point on AI in publics. youthBlaze
+1 Nick Adams at Welly is goated VP in AM - Equities
+1 The question was whether they block attachments from external sources such as a .edu email address I know that attachments aren't blocked period lmao fukuokancapital
+1 Less of a school-vs-school debate because both will be fun and make you well-rounded, but more as a recruiting-platform question. Touse of Cards

+1 they takin their sweet time  animatedmonkiwi
+1 Cowboys. Imaginary job listings. tl2004
+1 the EB interviews are not as hard as you are making it seem. They look p bad compared to BB interviews because BB interviews don't really test anything.  Prospect in IB-M&A

+1 As someone who chose Wharton over the Jeff but has friends who accepted Jeff/Walentas over schools like Yale, Stanford, etc, I would say there’s gen such a nice network for Jeffs only at UVA, as well as a huge finance focu wheatpita

+1 Parasites need to be exterminated.  LMBurn
+1 like others said, the best way is practice. in addition to that, get comfortable with silence. pause before you answer instead of rushing to speak. poodle_talker
+1 In finance, stories of “nepo hires” — like someone whose dad is UBS IB head and mom is KKR executive, yet lands a job at Goldman Sachs — show how connections can fast-track opportunities. ryonreyolds
