+1 Shocking. Especially given that wells has historically had high return offer rates excelandchill
+1 Feedback made no sense Intern in IB - Cov
+1 What kind of unprofessionalism did they display? Was it just basic manners, or attention span or basic respect?  ChimpChimpchimpChimpChimp
+1 It actually makes sense. I worked across their Houston office a couple of times. It's a solid office, but they have a huge intern class of ~10 people. Some better Houston banks like JPM/EVR only hire 7/8 interns Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Congrats on UBS! Tulaner
+1 Yes. It will give a stamp of approval and experience in a corpo setting plus some decent bonuses to fund your next adventure birdhouse890
+1 not true, no idea why you posted this Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I heard from my friend that also applied this year (psychology major moving to finance) that he got told from admissions that most the courses were capped this year - could that be why? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 My only advice is that unless there is a contractual agreement, there is in effect no agreement. I would not be expecting the role at this point in time. foxtrot_1

+1 did not intern here but this is also what I heard. one mistake got you cut throwaway2727273
+1 I must’ve really struck a nerve. Was it the kid or bud that did it, son Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Have heard from Lincoln folks that VPs and above get decent economics, but they also recently got recapped or acquired by Stone Point. 8.43 13.5
+1 Anyone have thoughts on their infra team? FTorDie
+1 Im so in your head. Good luck kid Prospect in IB - Cov

+1 People out here thinking BXSP and Ardian are raising $20bn+ funds for new strategies… Generic Banker
+1 Good luck recruiting after no return offer! Hope it turns out well kid. I know there’s a lot of anger but you’ll survive. Better luck next time bucko Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Delete SMU Final Boss
+1 If the ABC pants are close enough (likely yes), I think they can be machine washed or even hand washed to make them last longer. eBay has some better deals compared to full price at the Lulu store.  SaaSChimp
+1 Thats not how real life works bro Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 gelato_cuspids1dNever seen an international analyst at GS.  Ignore title. Friends with a few.  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Guggenheim Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Really sorry to hear this brother. But no time to lament now. As Alex hormozi says the world does not care. It will never care. But do so much work that is unreasonable for you to not win. Investment Analyst in IB - Gen
+1 as expected, my fund shut down though I honestly think my boss did that to clear the deck without actually firing me (and a few others). I bet he's at it again in a new form in a year or two. Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 I just interned at wells too and didn’t get a return offer. My group only gave out 50%. Shitty feeling. Summer Analyst
+1 Not cooked, need to get cranking on the FT grind around late August or September when return offers are signed and firms are looking to top up headcount in new grad class based on yield rate. JamieDimonkey
+1 You mean why do the people who work together, upwards of 12 hours per day, also hang out with each other the most? Yeah, just doesn’t make sense. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 If you are looking to be on the investment side of CRE then it could make sense to do the AM position at the REIT. However, it seems that position is very niche. KingROD1
+1 Some kids came up with total nonsense, but still managed to present their way into offers. The staffers don't evaluate your excel or ppt. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 With a comment like that I know you work at Blue Owl. All those guys have the biggest hogs  Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 I’d do the banking route. Working on deals is a better first experience compared to AM. You will have a solid brand on your resume when you want to go hop to another gig. Skilled nursing too niche IMO. larry david
+1 Citi was 80% Intern in S&T - Other
+1 Agree you should start formal while you observe. Note that what you're allowed to wear is also related to how well you pull it off. Super fit/attractive people get more leeway. v31665
+1 Based on this, I'd say there are pros and cons of both. The AM role is AM but it's a niche asset class, so you'll have to think if you're good with doing that. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 A VPN/IP piercer that would detect and block any content encountered on the web that's been produced and circulated by users from 3rd world countries. Make it happen and you'll be rich beyond your wildest dreams.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Moelis is still the best shop in LA, PWP in second place, and then the likes of Santander, Guggenheim, BofA following behind IBPE
+1 From what I’ve heard, coatue is not chill. A lot of work and pressure to grind. Plus an up or out culture investor45
+1 An1 in coverage, heard from friends that return rates were 50-60% across groups and offices. Not sure what happened but seems to be a bloodbath at a lot of firms this year Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Doubt you’d be saying this if you got a return Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Not true. At least 70%+, unless you take MBA summer associates into account Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Yeah lol, if it were entry level in a LCOL or MLCOL city, it would be reasonable ballpark comp. For Chicago w/ 3+ YOE, that’s ridiculous. TheFunkyMunky
+1 Outside of NYC Power coverage group, do not expect any meaningful M&A work. As mentioned above, at the moment it is a lending shop, driven by its legitimate strong FSG and LevFin groups. wayne.tables1996
+1 Guy’s probably a first year analyst, it’ll wear off after his PM draws down 5% and he’s staring down the barrel of no bonus Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 You're way too young to be concerned with pigeon holing yourself. I work at WF and I've seen this play out year after year with analysts and associates. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 My friend in the CLT office said it was 50% across all groups Intern in IB-M&A
+1 I guess anyone who isn't a white or asian male is DEI. LlamaSun
+1 no1. don't be naive, this is not the time anonymnous
+1 can’t comment on Toronto but the U.S. team is very good. Very sharp folks and very hands on Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Apparently work product was everything. If you made a single mistake at any point you got dinged. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 It's very easy. The competition is weak. Return rates were ~50-75% for most groups. Person below is lying or is not at UBS. If you have a decent attitude and do okay work, you will likely get a return. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Given very established firm (not first time fund), none. Career/brand risk is low, so they don’t need carry to attract talent.  SaaSChimp
+1 Yes retard. No one with a brain thinks letting women of any color get a seat just because of their chromosomal structure is productive.  fucktwitter
+1 This was my first impression but perhaps I am wildly out of touch.  I was making $40k / year and I don't consider myself that old.  I think after two years was up to $55k / year. Esque_
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 This whole debacle is hilarious. Do they now go back and just cut all 100 senior banker heads at EGRC now? That group is like a hydra. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Yeah… expect 0 lol VP in PE - LBOs
+1 An1 - BofA - £50K - mid bucket based on end year review  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 “Thoughts on how this will affect the financial markets?” - this is a joke right? IRR you ready to rumble
+1 Best bank for getting the A2A promote? UBS. Everyone with a pulse that wants to stay get's the A2A because nobody wants to stay. Worst bank for a long-term career in banking? UBS. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 I’ve been told to hardcode valuations before, and when I asked for clarification “just make it look reasonable” OrdellRobbie
+1 Definitely so of the more specialized boutiques, especially as they pay a ton. Raine Liontree Allen Tidal Dyal Any 2 IB - Cov.
+1 Hours later and you're still thinking about me? Cute. Go touch some grass, champ. Intern in ER
+1 PCA is hot and you are most likely joining a growing team in a platform that is already running. As a VP you will leverage a hopefully strong junior team and support strong MDs. That’s it. Don’t overthink. VP in IB - Cov
+1 the irl "i want to work at the goldman sachs" XD anonymnous
+1 touch grass GS under Blankfein
+1 out next week BofA starts and ends internship a week later than other banks Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Sad reality buddy. You just quite literally didn’t cut it. Collect your loses and move on. You can frame a story around why you moved to a mm quite easily…. Figure it out and stop whining like a little baby….. f1keymonster
+1 Satellites are a solid way to get into big tournaments. I’d focus on single-table qualifiers and grind those. Good luck with the Bahamas prep. Mixoponop
+1 Have heard some chatter that the recent wave of junior / mid-level attrition is due in part to an uncertain succession plan as the co-founders wind down. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Agree with most of the comments here. Didn’t go to one of these personally but went to an Ivy and had a few friends that went to these. Shmova_Mendoza
+1 Wouldn’t recommend this. Not because I think it’s wrong, but because the risks far outweigh the rewards. Just_Wanna_Mog
+1 Ultimately your forecast is going to be wrong so save yourself time by just applying a flat %. It also takes away the false sense of accuracy you get by adding layers and layers of mechanics  VP in RE - Comm
+1 Does UBS do 2 or 3-year analyst programs? Just trying to gauge what A2A looks like at the firm IB Analyst 01
+1 I was an AS1 in 2015, and my progression was as follows at a BB before I left for PE. Top bucket every year starting As. 3. I suppose it is possible that a BB AS2 got $400k in 2019, but I don't really believe it. Principal in PE - Other
+1 holy moly ur company is taking you to the cleaners with that pay package. UBSRising789
+1 You just threatened to spit on my face because you lost an argument to an intern. Read that sentence back to yourself. Slowly. I'll wait. Intern in ER
+1 can confirm at least 2-3 at almost every BB/EB and several others in MMs for summers. Some full times and many more off cycles as well. xxx1
+1 This in every way echoes my experience. I also didn’t get a return last summer, and truly thought it was the end of the world. banking1289
+1 Pretty absurd to give higher bonus to the laterals than the people who stayed. Is $80k top bucket for MS? $50 is mid or bottom? How did M&A or Menlo get paid? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Seems like you took the offer when you were out of job. Director in IB - Cov
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Once you get the interview I’d say it doesn’t matter much. Getting the interview is the hard part Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You've called me a retard five times, threatened to spit on me, told me I need to be 'stomped out,' and now you're accusing me of saying you lied about your job. which I never said. Intern in ER
+1 Cheers Chat GPT nutmegger189
+1 Wow really, I didn't realise corp dev can pay that, i thought mine was the average.. thanks for flagging this. VP in CorpDev
+1 Typical analyst is only top bucket, else it’s 3 years Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 It is not possible for above 20-25% of a group to be top-bucket, there were more than that promoted. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 NYC will for the most part be king for another 100 years.  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 Careers are 30+ years long. You don’t have to start in something “intellectually stimulating”. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 you can send an application to both classic and financing if you wish, i am unsure if they are reviewed by the same team - hold that in mind  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Evercore M&A gave out SPD, running process for ECM, PCM, and RX to my knowledge. Lazard RX gave out screening calls and seems like Citi Chicago is running the process. PJT PCS and RSSG will start the process soon. Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+1 depends on if you've had a freshmen internship and what your resume looks like. if you have nothing finance related then an incoming internship in something remotely similar is a big boost simplifiedclap
+1 Evercore within finance while Goldman for anything outside of finance. No, Jessica from ACCT-101 will never date you anyways.  Summer Associate in IB-M&A
