+1 JFK. seminarydropout
+1 I run analyst and associate recruitment at an EB and can tell you that a significant number of people don’t get into the top teams first time. Keep trying but don’t be annoying and don’t be fixated on 1 specific team. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Has anyone heard back on anything? investmentbanker_334
+1 And to add to this, IB recruiting by the percentages is easier to land than other hot tickets especially in this shaky job market - buyside, strategy consulting at T2 / MBB firms. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 What are seen as the best vc exits in biotech? Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 yeah definitely, but from what I understand $300k strategic finance jobs are few and far between, with more common comp for these roles significantly lower than that. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Have a friend at MDP, avoid it like the plague. The firm has great marketing, but is absolutely a horrible place to work. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Yes - I AM the competitive edge. The Real Donnie Azoff
+1 Echoing the note above - make sure you specifically understand if they are in IB or IS. I’m on the investment sales side and have had intro chats with students who didn’t even know we had that part of the house.  VP in RE - Comm
+1 If your concern is "we need to be able to spend enough on AI as a part of our process to keep generating alpha", I wouldn't imagine that's a meaningful hurdle at any scaled fund. PM in HF - Macro
+1 time to pivot careers and become interior decorators Developer in RE - Comm
+1 Hi I'm also an incoming ib analyst at west coast in one of the bulges, trying to break into biotech buyside/HF here. hz687
+1 It's easy. eg. GS TMT (both SF and NY) and industrials. They all have a couple of people who lateraled from the Houston Energy group Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 What're your return requirements? Have some special situation stuff in some niche re spaces if you are open to connecting. There are good deals out there but have to get creative and have a broad reach.  terra879

+1 jeteleven: What usually changes from the first time to the second time when they get an offer? Are they usually just more sharp (technicals, deal knowledge)? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 The sample size here is so small, but there is like 1 person going each direction (true investment team for both) in recent years. In the past, I think it’s actually more in favor of BDT.  Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 FINRA has a content outline posted. PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+1 Depends what sort of deals you’re looking for - core, core plus, value add, redevelopment? Obviously the more work needed, the more deals there are, and vice versa. What market and what YOC or IRR do they underwrite to? MacBuilds
+1 I don't rlly think that london offers such an opportunity nowdays for asians. Gainone1572
+1 I’ve never understood people valuing Wells/JPM/BOA over large regional banks in CRE, some of the most unimpressive lazy people in the whole industry are money center bank lenders (and especially syndications people). leftcoastlenny
+1 Understand that the outcome isn't binary. It's not just offer or no offer. Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+1 A DI analyst told me he sold a company for $1 in some kind of carve out scenario so I imagine the deals are interesting at least. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Heres a few— ERdumdum
+1 Piper Sandler Houston. Heard they typically sign off at 10 SMU Final Boss
+1 Its still alive and kicking in the cash advance industry DeeperSense
+1 NYC is generalist across industries. I'm pretty sure SF focuses on tech. I would keep in mind that centerview analysts work on M&A, capital raises, and also shareholder advisory (i.e. CuriousGeorge1024
+1 Horrible group. Went to shit after Jimmy Wang left for DB. He was the rainmaker. You should look into DB FIG instead. Chipoknot
+1 Run. They offer 70k base to work in a sweatshop. RECorp54
+1 Yo dude, that was like, so hilarious. You should make a post with a similiar joke everyone will love you. Holy shit PE people are such bots lmao Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 The answers to your questions are so seat-dependent, and you also didn't provide much context. Quant in HF - Event

+1 1 Buy and sell companies ER 15
+1 Sounds like PJT Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Bump Elpibe12
+1 Non–raised Jets fan here, we exist (haven't smiled in years). Jack Wilshere
+1 For Wells Fargo CRE, I’d expect compensation to vary quite a bit depending on the specific group (REB vs. CLI vs. MFC), market, and how much of the role is production/originations versus portfolio management. willlaurenson
+1 1 Buy and sell companies ER 15
+1 God forbid someone actually wants stuff to work on I guess or exposure Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Congrats on UBS  wuandale33
+1 I’m betting no because of the state of the market, but are you able to move within the firm to more of an asset management role? You already know the assets.  IsItREPE
+1 Our ideas are top down and largely follow themes/macro catalysts rather than earnings. We have a broad ish mandate and trade/hedge different asset classes but our bread and butter is equities. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Agree (unfortunately) with the expectation that the VP will fill both seats when there is underperforming associate or no associate available - unless it’s live deal sprint Associate 3 in PE - LBOs

+1 Anonymous Monkey: Trader in S&T - Other
+1 moreso parsing hundred page contracts into a sensible model is the hard part, sourcing hundreds of assumptions from both contracts and the physical/operational profile of the asset itself, tons of legal dd, real estate, co Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Laz Chi typically handles unsecured creditors while HL Chi is debtor/secured creditor wallstreetgoat201
+1 Curious - Do you "fault" your associate for that? Or is that a given and expectation that hes only 25, or 26 years old. I am similiar. When tasks are easy and simple I can just run with them without guidance. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 An SA at a BB asking about scotia corporate banking lmao Prospect in Legal
+1 I feel like 25-26 is quite different from 22-23 because of the quality of training and amount of workload that I know takes place in the IB years between those two age groups. Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+1 I’d stay FAR away Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 The lad is there to learn not clip pay check  davani1420
+1 Block her and come back to it later  Chazmichaelmichael
+1 Fully agree. No way are MM hours 'chiller', usually tends to be more pitching, higher sponsor deal volume in LMM / MM and more 'eat what you kill' senior pay structures whereby MDs are much more motivated to close stuff. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 Stabilized garden style surface parked multifamily (please dude!) FinServces

+1 Are you really saying that there isn't much publicly available information on what industries Qatalyst, Allen, LionTree and Raine work on? These guys aren't exactly skunkworks, they put it on their websites Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 If you are reading this it may be too late, the it already started Associate 2 in IB - Gen

+1 Are you in Tampa by chance RECorp54
+1 bintangboss: 6'1 on the money 9'2 sang the lyrics immediately m4our
+1 No wonder you got fired from UBS. You cannot read. Saying pay is good does not mean I said it's a great place to work. Do not put words in my mouth. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 If you are Korean though, it must be nice to be at BAML. Looks like in the press release he managed to hook up another random Korean with a sweet gig.  UBSRising789
+1 My HR 3 Hazel_Parkery
+1 Neither of your current options would lead to IB. They're academically all solid but you need a generic master in finance or management with a strong brand name plus internships. Intern in RE - Res
+1 Dude I went to a board school and I know plenty of hypsm  and Dartmouth and Wharton kids who play lax since high school together and than when it comes to time to recruit they place lights out. Intern in ER
+1 Where did you see this? Starting in Aug and haven't heard anything lol Prospect in Consulting

+1 Agreed and the latest QQQ move kinda proves the point. FinanceGirlieee
+1 Realistically for interns they’re just checking dates (if at all). More broadly though, if there’s bullets on your CV that you can’t reasonably defend in an interview, I would probably get rid of them… Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 no (my roommate works there). next week Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 UBS stock up 38% in last year lmao  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Without knowing your return hurdles or timeline, if you can be patient, it feels like we are in a trough of values for Sunbelt multifamily new construction. CRESF
+1 I think many MM banks like Lincoln will slash return offers due to a combination of weaker deal pipelines + AI Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Best advice. You are fortunate that you don’t need to care about your job so just chill and clip paychecks while you focus on your business. ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 there's a little bit of truth in there + 60% misinformation Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Lacrosse segway pipeline finance  wuandale33
+1 Sounds like he is blowing up PM in HF - RelVal
+1 Extremely inaccurate, the entire law firm would be broke from fines from being held in contempt, and most would lose their clients due to breach.  CPMA's15
+1 Update: Citadel bought his portfolio per WSJ. Depending on timing they might've just made a nice juicy 20-30% gain in a day.. absolutely wild times Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 i do zen meditation summediocre
+1 A wise choice in my opinion. Only thing I’d add is that for the duration of med school you’ll need to maintain the same drive that propelled you to IB. HowlerMonkey
