+7 In fact they are already on their way as we speak VP in IB - ECM

+7 back officenot a number monkey I do intelligence How do you "do" something you so obviously fundamentally lack? Assistant PM in HF - RelVal
+7 The problem is that "value" and "growth" are also factors that describe characteristics, sometimes overly focused on just ratios and price relative to some fundamental characteristics, and are then used for marketing fund mtnmaster1

+7 Crazy shill Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+7 Most sane wso post starwars1234

+7 Someone please stop this guy before he does something he will regret for the rest of his life  investmentspanker
+7 Defo Stern imo polymarket
+7 Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas Ozymandia
+7 I think it’s a general question of what compensated opportunities bankers can take outside of work especially since FINRA is extremely strict with OBA and conflict of interest is a legitimate concern. Principal in PE - LBOs
+7 what color is your passport? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+7 Lots of inaccurate and overdramatize information in this thread so here is what I know personally from incoming Canadians at Evr:  PerpetualParadise

+6 Amazon delivery drivers are highly efficient, so they pee in bottles. It’s not dystopian labor abuse—it’s a logistics-optimized hydration workaround.   Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 I was at CS, which became UBS, and then left. I honestly have no idea what UBS plans to do with their US investment bank. Too many of the heavy hitters have left and have not been replaced. Too much uncertainty. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 Lol the yale mba, I know what you mean monkeyking834
+6 see the post in the other thread by an analyst blaming his manager for not spotting his modeling errors and you have one lens of the answer. do not equate quantity of applicants with quality. brosephstalin

+6 Oy vey! The goyim will cover for you don't worry. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Great question. Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+6 The main shortfall for very junior bankers is tied to strategic thinking. You may think it's all about technical skills but an investor is well-rounded and it's essential to get the broader picture. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+6 First off, take a breath. You haven’t even hit your desk for Day 1 and you’ve already mapped out a 10-step multiverse of career paths. MitchtheREguy
