Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Any info on Menlo Park? non_target_46728
+1 Quality is down because league table are down and UBS has been consistently trashed on here for 3+ years. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Anyone hear back after rx r1? Had Tuesday and nailed techs so not sure why I’d be dinged Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 You mean v20 of the Project Bumblefuck Memo that is likely to not get across the finish line Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Maybe it's actually a blessing. LevFin works on internal memo's for 80 hours a day for deals that never go through. Good luck leaving. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 puddingSeems like you know a lot about Mill Creek. Curious - how did their acquisitions folks get paid?  MultifamilyGuy
+1 UBS LF is paradise Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 They are doing fine but whoever is under the illusion that they win every big-ticket tech M&A is retarded. They are losing on a number of prominent mandates to GS TMT or MS Menlo Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Can u give us a hint on ur bank? Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Shit comp, shit culture, horrible lifestyle. The higher ups are hardos and bad people  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Take jpm. If u hate it it’s very easy to lateral to any BB product group. For cap markets it doesn’t make a ton of sense to choose a non balance sheet bank, evercore or not degenmonkey505
+1 At some point you would have to work on a deal with companies that are immoral... How would you deal with that? user231463
+1 Excellent ragebait your honor malcaltent
+1 The few weeks before school (or just before their first meeting/club fair) starts is boom or bust - if you're good, they'll remember it and it will show strong work ethic. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Oh my goodness what’s with the deal flow gestapos on this site degenmonkey505
+1 Was in a similar position and recruited with a MENA SWF internship, albeit larger (QIA/Mubadala/ADQ). Would say it really depends on which SWF specifically, but in almost all cases I would go with the SWF.  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Still 5th in the U.S. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Either will set you up well. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 could try acethesolve... probably the most reasonably priced option  loltw9sav
+1 If you are interested in taking the role (and presumably there’s some interest if you applied and went through the interview process to get it) I would view it as fairly low risk. SketchyFinanceGuru
+1 Google BX Growth for 3 minutes and you’ll have you’re answer (hint: it’s much worse and both KKR and BX have no business in growth) BXG got shut down lmao Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 So if you do interview, I'd strongly suggest looking into how they make money; it's not just from being a traditional REIT. VP in RE - Comm
+1 Dating is what you make it here, especially if you're not picky. Very easy to get first dates through dating apps. Of course the date quality is hit or miss. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 I do see the designation more often within pensions/endowments etc. RE Associate 1
+1 thanks for checking in lil bruh youre good Analyst 1 in AM - FI
+1 If your end goal is front-office finance, I'd probably lean toward UCL, but not because the course title is inherently better. Amelia F
+1 Guess work on sr an / asso but think around ~190k / ~250k. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 Do the big firms still require that much travel in your experience? I feel like in general, consulting is cutting back heavily on travel. Even at my last job, I rarely traveled for non-RX work. Lester Freamon
+1 Based on the highest ranked content on WSO, you're facing a common challenge that many Big 4 professionals encounter when trying to break into banking. Here's what successful candidates have done: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Bump World_of_Wall_Street
+1 there's an intermediary r2 with more techs before spd for both debt advisory and rx Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Are you gay?  Tulaner
+1 asmith_1respectfully, isn't accretive CFFO the entire game for REIT shareholder value?  (I may be wrong, but thought this was conventional wisdom) MultifamilyGuy
+1 Eh I don't know if it is real estate as a whole.  Affordable housing is going gangbusters. Ozymandia
+1 This would have been the funniest of all outcomes. Esque_
+1 In the same exact situation Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Very common to get gaslit by bank while you get fucked. Awful situation but wait and see, hopefully all turns out well  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 This whole thread is so funny  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Thanks for the response, this is really helpful. One thing I'm still trying to gauge is the magnitude of the tradeoff at the senior levels. RJWToken
+1 A1 top ~75k, A2 top 100k+ Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 PERE but not REPE, alas. credev99
+1 PJT not an EB is a demonstrably braindead take, lmao. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 TPH in Houston is a household name and now is acting more like a coverage group sitting under PWP. Probably the 4th best independent advisory banks behind JEFF, EVR, MOE in Houston Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Moving this back up as I'm curious what the landscape is like now? Summer Associate in IB - Gen
+1 yes. internal moves are a real path, and you're already holding the two things that make one workable: a front-office seat and colleagues willing to make intros. OFFERGOBLIN
+1 the honest answer on citing them: not much. the interview list is usually cut by the group doing the hiring, and a name from another division doesn't carry much weight there. OFFERGOBLIN
+1 If you can stomach the commute and potentially send your kids to private school, consider the SF suburbs. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Del Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 No idea but saw some material from them it seems they were constantly on some $10 million PDP Non-Op deal. Would not be surprised if they pay below street Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Most groups heavily depend on juniors with some level of language proficiency. VP in IB - Gen
+1 Totally agree with this. Caveat that early stage CoS roles can be rewarding, when there's literally nobdy else at the table except you and a few C-Suite. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 I think it complicates the recruiting story and having good references may be helpful if you don’t have an offer already Tommy-Cruise
+1 Performance optimization is definitely an ongoing process rather than a one-time task. Profiling early and testing regularly on target devices can help identify bottlenecks before they become difficult to resolve. helenmirren
+1 Unless you are from barclays and lateral to ubs.  Then you will get top bucket. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 With a wife and kids, I’d suggest looking at more family friendly neighborhoods a little bit outside the city (San Mateo, Redwood City, Sausalito / Marin) LBhoes
+1 If all you had were a few internships, you can't really say you're "returning to the industry". You weren't even part of it yet.  Determined
+1 Noted. And yeah i wasn't apart of it as a full-timer. What i meant was leaving the people behind, I guess. anonymous39
+1 Nice to hear your perspective. Thanks for the reply!  anonymous39
+1 Del SMU Final Boss
+1 RIP intrepid SMU Final Boss
+1 how often are we mirkin pirates? Manager in RE - Other
+1 i've seen some gsb guys at top single managers. I think viking founder went to gsb Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Also if your school has naviance than that is the best resource for getting an idea of which schools are reach/target/safety. K27359
+1 Go with Chicago role, no doubt about it. By the way, stop saying you want a "client facing" role. That is not a thing in HFs, except for IR roles. MMPM
+1 This is misleading as most of those 50% of students who score lower on the SAT are recruited athletes, children of donors, faculty, and staff, and URM / FGLI / diversity admits. Stanford-Finance-Bro
+1 He wasn’t good so it’s fine. I believe someone told me he hadn’t announced anything since coming from MS Works at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
+1 You guys should try bumping this some more Just_Wanna_Mog
+1 Bank really needs to announce some decent poaching soon. Morale in toilet for many groups. Imagine being in a director seat and your senior sponsor bounces. I'd be updating my resume.  Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 How many people have left industrials? jrosenburner
+1 Yes but nothing but a tier 1/1.5 firm.. anon_vc
+1 1yr banking and some consulting unfortunately still makes you an Analyst. Can try to push for An2/3 but unlikely you get an Associate title. Maybe Associate 0. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 Well above street it appears asymmetricalrisk
+1 Totally depends on the size of deals you're chasing. Probably enough capital to get 4-5 firms in your first fund, then that'll show you have some momentum and allow you to expand to a larger sized fund.  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Prospect in IB-M&AAdding HL before DB is crazy to me considering what I've seen in exits. Obligatory DB not a BB PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 I spoke with a buddy in Houston office. Their return rate is 100% even if one kid got caught for full-time recruiting SMU Final Boss
+1 Definitely not an outlier year- as in we’ve seen this many times before. Moreso just a concern given the current environment with new unprecendted factors. CEO in IB - Gen
+1 I think he liked it WockySlush
+1 Houston return rate is very high. Across banks it seems to be 95% Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Was paid 400-500 in MF PE and for the past few years have been in the 500-1M range. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Case coach is enough. You could take "inspiration" from some of the downloadable cases and run through one with AI.  AceTheSolve
+1 I take it you didn’t get a return offer Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 - simplifiedclap
+1 Bloodbath out there today Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Normal BB VP salary or a BofA VP salary? That's the difference between a top and mid tier neighborhood... yijocar279
+1 WF is paradise because they don’t let everyone in. It’s like soho house or raya - once they started letting in lames they went to shit.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 My group had 50% ro. Feeling really dejected . Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Works at Bank of America Merrill LynchHe wasn’t good so it’s fine. I believe someone told me he hadn’t announced anything since coming from MS Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 50% in mine as well, some shocking cuts Intern in IB - Cov
+1 WF got fucked Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, Boston College (BC) is likely your best bet among the Boston-area MSF programs for breaking into corporate finance or potentially IB/PE. Here's why: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 No return offers, no deal flow, congrats on UBS! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Kid I have been in contact with informed me he did not get it for Levfin. Tough situation.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Honestly I wouldn’t even go as far in saying this. Some top interns who showed tremendous growth and were hard workers got cut. They took average,stagnant interns over top interns who made a mistake or two. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 For a finance role specifically real estate in NYC, the answer is the NYU MSRE finance and investment track. Assist. VP in IB - Gen
+1 GIG & FIG were 90%+ Intern in IB - Cov
+1 What were the biggest differentiating factors in those that got it and those that didn’t? Also were the top groups (FIG, industrials, etc) also as brutal?  Incoming_IB_Intern
+1 if your team likes you (which i assume they do if your lack of return offer was not due to performance) ask for some intros! Analyst 1 in AM - FI
+1 Enjoy your senior year, unemployment is going to be brutal when you graduate. intern_391023809213
+1 Del Intern in IB - Gen
+1 nobody at JPM or any bank for that matter is gong to listen to your back office uncle to hire Cock McBallFace out of Unkown State University with a 3.6 GPA lmao. Have fun in audit  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
