+7 My two cents - I think the demographics are there, but senior living is by far the most operationally intensive asset class in real estate. Most real estate investors/developers are not set up to do well in this space. CRESF
+7 It’s not about the size of the bulge, it’s about how you use it Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+7 Whoever made this list has literally no idea what they are talking about. It’s easily one of the worst I’ve seen on the forum to the point it’s likely engagement bait Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+7 lol from everything ive heard about dare its a tough choice between them vs unemployment Intern in Private Credit

+7 Yes, do NOT sign. Don’t be pressured into anything. It sounds like they are already backing off / realizing they overstepped. Now they’re hoping you will help them out of the corner they painted themselves into. Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+7 Hey man sorry to hear this. If you’ve been in IB for a year you can probably exit to some other less stressful role. Analyst0910
+7 Accept Dyal and say you work for a Goldman Sachs Banker. Chicks would recognize that name, and you wouldn’t even be lying either. Analyst0910

+7 Ling is a woman dawg ubersomesam
+7 Sup. Principal in Private Credit
+7 I'm 4 years into PE and while hours have been more predictable than banking, they're about the same if not worse at times, with stress levels significantly higher than you could ever experience in banking just given the fu Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+7 Only going to speak on the funds I have a lot of insight on, will let others opine on the rest from your list: Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+7 Swap LAZ and CVP for exits, EVR and PJT as well as PWP and MOE for comp, CVP and EVR for M&A, and delete the random culture ranking that doesn’t make any sense. lomoney

+7 It's doable (I did it), but it's an uphill battle. Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+7 Dudes looking for every reason to put BMO m&m in the same group as goldman and Moelis lmfao Intern in IB - Cov
+7 in HK there's the concept of "white monkey" jobs. It basically entails being a good looking white dude dressed in a tuxedo at fancy events serving food and other menial labor. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+7 Tech bros have this unique skill to describe the most mundane, uninspiring and useless part of a job/workflow as if it’s the greatest technical feat of humanity. liquidiot
+7 Ideally your MD won’t be throwing you under the bus in front of the client - it’s a bad look overall since it messages poor team unity. Director in IB - Cov
+7 A lot of this is google-able, but here you go anyway: Multif@mily4Life
+7 DB and Veritas I heard. So maybe some of the stories are true if he actually was at Veritas haha. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+7 I see your point, but if that logic held, why would any company partner with a PE firm at all? Lebronto
+7 This one might be an interesting. Tanno

+7 I’m doing a search rn and did MF PE. apetrynamakeit
+7 In my opinion, most analysts (Wharton kids are different) do not actually know what the fuck they’re talking about and can’t even begin to graduate to the level of being an actual “person” until like their 2nd year of bein SOFRsoGood
+7 Holy shit you always post the most retarded takes Partner in IB - Gen
+7 The thing I always found funny about pitch books is, as someone who has spent almost my entire career on the receiving ends of those pitches, we never need more than 3 pages to know if a pitch is worth seriously doing work jl12
+7 Indiana has been fucking murdering it no clue how lmao Associate 1 in IB-M&A

+7 Can't speak to the team dynamics Moelis, but Doug Pierson was well-liked at Credit Suisse when he was head of Americas industrials. The guy works extremely hard and expects his team to do the same. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+7 that is fucking amazing man Analyst 3+ in Private Credit
+7 I'm obviously not a women, so take anything I say with a grain of salt. Though I can probably give a non-jaded perspective SoldMySoul
+7 I’ve been in the industry for almost 20 years. Ignore the title. I think if that’s your end goal, PE is a good training ground and branding. But I would do that for no more than 2 years. Principal in PE - LBOs
+7 Pendelum swings back and forth, and at the receiving end of it are always those without power. Funny how that works. Companies appease government policy across countries and across policies. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 bro where can I get a VP like this...?  Analyst 3+ in Private Credit
+7 I would never say no to a coffee chat if it was an Asian bro. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+7 Touch grass Intern in IB - Restr
+7 Top Canadian firm leading the upcoming SpaceX IPO fingereater505

+7 Type of moral leadership UBS is currently under Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+7 I’m half joking. I empathize with your feeling - I think it’s fairly common. Most PMs are not good managers. That being said, the industry has always been like this and it forces you to learn and adapt. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge

+7 Question for people in this thread, with all honesty - are you guys looking at growthier sectors or just not haircutting management plans much? VP in PE - LBOs

+7 My point is just the way you’re going to resolve those debates consistently is probably just some form of data someone else can see. Even if they can’t, the way you trade will reveal a lot about what you think. Works at Citadel Investment Group
+7 Contrary to popular belief, schools with a large population gunning for finance and not enough prestige / OCR to compensate (Stern, Georgetown, Michigan, UVA) have poor outcomes for the average student. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+7 it means "we dont do any work and just ride beta but will take the moral high ground about it" Research Analyst in HF - Other
