+1 pjt m&a is literally so overrated  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 I didn’t even make this post to shit on MBA associates. It’s more like if I ran an investment bank, I couldn’t economically justify hiring an MBA associate to pay double an analysts salary for half the work quality Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Floor 3 primemeridian23
+1 Feel free to PM, I work in the space Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 I think for me I make 5x-10x what they probably make so I don’t mind paying. Also if I’m suggesting a nice place to eat, I wouldn’t expect the girl to pay either given it’s because of me we are eating there. TackoDonkey

+1 You don’t need to be smart to do IB. Just need to give a fuck about the job. Associate 1 in HF - Other
+1 This is the best joke question I have heard about GS. When you're on something live, we don't have protected Saturday. We are on a live deal every week, so it's not really a thing. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Welcome to UBS to the fired MD's! I heard the UBS TMT team needs some more MD's. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 You guys dont have a legal department for this? TargetToNonTarget
+1 Sounds like you’re in the wrong MM seat, not the wrong segment. MM only makes sense if you get something back better lifestyle, more responsibility, or a solid culture. Nexaro
+1 For some reason OP put debtor fees too which is one of the least useful metrics. Most useful to look at total engagements and what LMEs each group has been on (lots of Moelis, PJT, HL, and Evercore) Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 30k to work 80+ hours per week and get zero worthwhile experience. It’s a joke eurobanker288
+1 Comp at CD&R for interns is top. The big offenders on the cheap labour front are Astorg and PAI Partners from what I know Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 I used to think this too but it’s not 100% true. He gets that call because he’s an elite advisor and knows his sector - clients give the deals to people who provide good advice over time and are trusted partners. RBOB_squarepants
+1 m8“all across the country”? Did a bot write this. Your comment makes no sense  VP in Research - FI
+1 They are very well known in Europe but I consistenly had bad things about day to day work culture there (German office). Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 The 25% is correct - the hurdles varied fund by fund but are generally always set in a way where they will hit it easily (for context, only one of their nine historic funds was 2x net MOIC / DPI, most significantly above). Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 A lot of their classmates are buyside.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Wall Street fashion for girls is not just about office wear. It is about confidence, clean style, and smart dressing that makes you feel powerful every day. ochreclothing

+1 Now imagine how lawyers feel every day  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Seconding this. Explore hard and go all in on fitness and your physique as well. It will pay stupid dividends down the line.  Raijin
+1 Even if you’re a non target with no other choices, not worth it. You’d be better off doing FLDP at a F500 vs some of these groups  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Wat structured mean here and what are the hours like? Structuring like within S&T?  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I admit I don’t want the hassle and stress of starting a firm. I did when I was young and hungry. Life changes and many young bros eventually realize that breaking out of the Matrix isn’t as just taking a red pill. Covid19Brah

+1 the noog 😭😭 fingereater505
+1 Been targeting acq, dev, AM, even a few brokerage roles, from SF to SD, and have had the same exact experience.  Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Op did post total fees somewhere on this thread. Would argue fees is a very helpful metric though, gives an idea as to scale. It’s not the end all be all metric but still  Manager in CorpDev
+1 Instead of hiring useless MBAs, they should hire muscular twunks from German or Nordic countries.  Peter Thiel
+1 2 risks to posting ABSurdity
+1 The head trader and COO both retired end of last year which was probably an indication. One of the longest tenured IPs and sector heads got poached by Holocene. Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+1 This is a sweet sketch brah Raijin
+1 EFDS isn't as strong as the rest of Imperial undergrad of course but you are right, I think it's getting overhated. Placements, especially spring weeks, are looking really strong leefbmp
+1 Fuckin 'ell this sounds like heaven Raijin
+1 AB from Harvard, MA from Oxford Trader in PropTrad
+1 I'm referencing the part that says "building out necessary infrastructure made continuing the firm too difficult, Sandler wrote". Research Associate in AM - FI

+1 two ways I interpret this credev99
+1 top group with top notch exits to distressed and buyout Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 They hire ESL Beckies as analyst too at Canadian banks. It’s all about MD’s gender KPI and bonuses  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I think it’s as simple as returns were ass recently  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Don’t have an inside view onto that, all I can say is that they hire quite often externally.  oil_quant
+1 Damn given that a lot of interviews have gone fully virtual, you could fully just not mention it until your first day on the job. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 nope is this for nyc office?  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 very rare to move up into a trading role at those shops and not worth betting on those odds Analyst 1 in S&T - Comm
+1 Trump was using DEI as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations with Canada. He wants Canadian banks to abolish it altogether. Roots of most DEI ills can be traced back to Canadian leaders or institutions.  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 inheritance  Capital of Structure
+1 I'm sure everyone can agree that Kelley is better than Arizona, but it's a marginal difference and 100% not worth the ~130K in debt, which will be more like 150+, accounting for accrued interest. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 This is correct, and for some additional detail, the RXCo can (and usually does) stay on after the IB has done their thing and left Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 Think industrials had ~3 ppl. Vp/D levels. But not surprising on who got cut.  VP in IB - Cov
+1 DCM / ECM definitely Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Hellman and Friedman SOFRsoGood

+1 You sound insufferable bro Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 The only reason your shop is paying $200k is that the bonus pool got merged with New York. Mike Jordan

+1 Feel I already answered this questionI'd probably just focus on enjoying/doing well in school man. I'm on the publics side and 5+ years out of UG idk the numbers. Works at JPMorgan
+1 I'm not in IB but I always find these discussions funny. It's almost invariably an analyst who probably has limited life experience, and limited context on the "why" behind the deals they're working on. TobyTwoTone
+1 Nothing wrong with looking for suggestions or piquing a curiousity. Only way to see what you don't know you don't know is to be brought the idea that expands the universe of options. FinnesseGod
+1 D1 comp received few weeks back. International integrated bank that acquired us ~5yrs back (were a boutique, not so much anymore) Base - $325K Bonus - $395K TC - $710K EBITduhhh

+1 I think this is directionally right, even if some of the post is probably overstated. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+1 Congrats on LAZ! sjibac101
+1 I'd try to broaden investment horizons a bit outside of pure-play software to tech-enabled-services and hardware. VP in Research - FI
