Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 My advice is put yourself in position of client (investor) and think through all the questions you would ask. And then go and try to answer all of those questions. VP in ER
+1 Sure, Karoshi-san. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 So you’re saying comp today is around 25% higher than the numbers that I posted for top bucket? That doesn’t sound too shocking given the passage of time. Principal in PE - Other
+1 Anonymous Monkey: Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 ban Canadians  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, sell-side M&A advisors are generally expected to be registered as broker-dealers if they are involved in transactions that require such registration under U.S. securities laws. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Been a sinking ship ever since they pulled my FT offer VP in IB - Gen
+1 Such a Canadian takeObviously depends on what you are optimizing and this is all very team dependent for but in general (as a firm) GS >> EVRCVP >> EVR EVR >> PJTMS > PJT Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 How's return rate at PJT dddd0
+1 Why exit? WF is paradise  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 if your lifestyle creep is so bad you cant live off $200K or its that much of shock to the system stop living like a Miami influencer perhaps or take your 5th child out of private school idk what to tell you lol  Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 As UBS IB in the US continues to struggle very doubtful they will early promote anyone to save on cost. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Was in a top group and that’s not the case at all. Only group landing MF is REGAL (for BX RE PE to be specific). There are a few UMM exits but pretty uncommon Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Congrats and totally makes sense. Your associate is kinda wild letting you take on so many tasks. My intern only helps with pulling data + graphing on live deals. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 90%+ across coverage / M&A Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Who's to say I'm really an intern? Or just using the title to blend in? I could be making 10–100x what you make, in my 20s, still drinking, living life, and not needing to put others down to feel important. Intern in ER
+1 seriously... its like they only care what other people think. once you actually break in nobody cares if you work at goldman vs evercore vs your local tiny boutique Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Damn did they disastrously fail estimating the headcount? I thought they were expanding their IB arm aggressively Was rooting to recruit FT for WF but ig thats a goner now greatgreatdreams
+1 I think the bigger issue here isn’t whether people dislike PE, it’s the way he chose to lecture and judge you personally. joshikasingh
+1 Don Draper. Donjosecuervo
+1 I wouldn’t put “selected deal experience”. You don’t actually have any. The probability you were put on anything remotely impactful as an intern is near 0. alexcokke
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, maintaining a wardrobe that reads as put-together can indeed take a notable amount of time, but there are strategies to streamline the process: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Ran into this while searching for FINRA background check experiences, and man, this is a stressful spot to be in. Standard advice on the Street is always that the cover-up is worse than the crime. khan.mmua
+1 I get the prestige / network / travel factors, but would you say the key reason you’re going is for PE / HF recruiting opps? Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 anything for goldman industrials?  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Based on the highest ranked content on WSO, here's what you need to know about breaking into HNI/private wealth-focused buy-side work in India: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 since when did GS up base? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I only saw 1-2 UMM/MF VP 1 lateral openings over the past 2+ years Definitely more lateral associate options, but for VP+, I think MBA provides more opportunities based on what I've seen from friends who have gone. Fanofoutcomes
+1 Life will always throw curveballs like this. Some graduated during the Great Recession and others during Covid years. Philly Special
+1 Don’t know who you are but which groups exactly had 100% return offer rates because to my knowledge none did? Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Yeah certainly not regular way PE. Family office where mandate is mostly funds and co-invests, occasionally will do a direct + more unique txns like GP stakes. NuclearPenguins
+1 Was the industry always like this… Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Sure but what's the alternative to not having a perfect story, kill myself? Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 There are tons of books and youtube videos that will teach you, but the biggest point I want to make is to not start a career you don't actually care about. CRE
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - CovAre exit opps generally the same? Is it viewed with the same prestige and competency that Americans view their rx consultants? AceTheSolve
+1 For the absolute top ones it is worth taking debt but only Oxbridge and LSE. boib_1
+1 So the turnaround guys are still focused on operational performance improvement, right? trimming the fat, doing everything they can operationally to preserve equity value (assuming debtor side)? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I'd be quitting based on receiving the offer and clearing background check (I already cleared it because they pre-screened). Why should I resign on a Friday instead of first thing Monday morning? Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Sorry man not buying the AI sales pitch. Most of your points undermined your own argument. And yes if you broaden “consumer” enough and focus more on end-markets then every B2B2C business is a consumer business. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Good point about even being able to pin down my senior but I'd be able to just walk into her office. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 near 100% Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Thanks for the thoughtful response. It does seem difficult to imagine development roaring back like it had been given the reasons you mention like slowing demographics. CRE Mamba
+1 This is super helpful. Definitely going to try this in my future emails. Thank you for the suggestion and I hope you have a great rest of your week! Kondo
+1 This. If you think IB isn't intellectually stimulating, then CRE sure as hell won't be Backoffice_Boss
+1 Yes, from a job security view, you are right. But good luck ever exiting AM after being there for 3+ years. Backoffice_Boss
+1 Associates are getting 120k base in NYCI know someone who just left over that shit Backoffice_Boss
+1 I’d do 5 years of development just to get the skillset and experience (not to become a career developer). odog @digitalimmortality.com
+1 Bump bruhboneguoh
+1 The issue with pockets is that everyone in their mother will be in on it. Its too obvious. Southern_cre
+1 For JPM - also curious if their non-networking policy extends to FT recruit, or networking is also needed for SA/FT recruit regardless rightnow Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Sure but what white collar career hasn't seen this? Even tech as a monolith has seen this, though select pockets like AI / data science haven't  The Penguin
+1 real... what is the tangible downside to this?  Gordon-THE-gecko
+1 Most were around 70 not 80 I’d say. But there were quite a few with 40-60. Few groups had over 80 Intern in IB-M&A
+1 bump also curious. Also 140k base is no longer a thing i thought. im assuming u got offered 140k tho  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 No one asked, but I wanted to pile on the hate: Their commercial banking sucks as well. I've been an account holder for decades and their products and services are barely competitive.  Determined
+1 Shitty interns ChimpChimpchimpChimpChimp
+1 More agency lending Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 jCRE_1but are the Dodgers REPE tho IsItREPE
+1 Regardless of bank name, seems everyone’s ghosting unfortunately… I’m feeling kind of hopeless Intern in IB-M&A
+1 It seems a tad artificial tbh but definitely does not lack in perceived effort. Honestly, I think you'd be okay with some tweaks to send this out... good luck with your informationals recoveringconsultant
+1 This guy (and this post) is obviously a troll. Some of the groups you mention don’t even exist (lol CVP sponsors) or rankings make 0 sense. gru_from_despicable_me
+1 Yeah it’s more agency lending. It’s fine for a first job but don’t transfer into it. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 I am on a marketing, some others are on a few more. No live deals as of yet pretty sure for the others. But the difference is visible when they are walking about discussing work with their assoc. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Highly doubt this would ever come up. Just logically how would they ever know? If you're already in, you're in. They're not doing additional checks until before you start full-time if you get an offer. johnny-mnemonic
+1 Was this for the Jan 2027 start date? Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 We have no idea how you get up in the morning! Ozymandia
+1 Dont sweat it too much though  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I work at one of the MFs with a dedicated cap markets team that does this internally. Honestly the gig looks super sweet for seniors but pretty boring for juniors, even on the new stuff like CFOs/portfolio financing. Analyst 2 in Private Credit
+1 Tier Ω — cannot be compared, only experienced LAZ Sovereign Advisory Q (entire firm)   Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I've seen personally an uptick in quality of roles / job postings this past month or so but my industry is one of the only ones doing decently well in terms of job market (healthcare). Business School in CorpStrat
+1 After the other offer is locked in.Just because you are giving 2 weeks’ notice is no guarantee they want you there the next 2 weeks. Pokemon Master
+1 I agree conceptually but depends. when you're in a group that sucks culturally you get lost amidst your rage for others and completely lose sight of the big picture and the fact it's cool. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Don’t worry bro Wharton’s calling Anonymous Monkey
+1 What a pussy chimpychimper
+1 At UBS analysts are a name and a number. Well not even a name (since the MDs don’t know your a name) just a number… Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 holy cracked corpdevgooner
+1 The NYC groups were  ~70-80% conversion, CLT a little less because most juniors who want to move to CLT are morons  VP in IB - Gen
+1 You just told me to kill myself because I said you were insecure about your job. Read that sentence back. Slowly. Then ask yourself who the real problem is. I'm still done here. Intern in ER
+1 GS An1 classic range from bottom bucket to low end of top bucket is $20k-$60k (7 known data points). Very best performers likely a bit higher. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I’m in the same boat. Ur not alone, also don’t go to med school unless that something ur genuinely passionate ab. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 PM me. Let me see how I can help _SANDMAN_
+1 what were technicals like? harder than SA technicals i would imagine Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 my bad, they havent worked much with us so wasn't sure. On the CFO stuff- the structuring is pretty interesting but I would say that the IB FF groups are not dealing with the interesting side. Analyst 2 in Private Credit
+1 There’s genuinely threads upon threads upon threads surrounding this topic. The formula has not changed since last year or the year before that or the year before that. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 i really wouldn’t worry so much personally! Very much subjective but from what I have heard, return rates are down because quality of interns are down. 12345forest
+1 Really appreciate the vulnerability and blunt truth here. Good to know Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Created a brand new account just to ragebait? learn a hobby or touch some grass like jesus Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 How did you even narrow it down to that amount of firms thebestmonkey
+1 I am transitioning from MBB now to an RX shop. Got a great offer and some of my former bosses went there. PE_prep
+1 I personally like Loake, has a decent range and good quality leather shoes in your budget. Halpin11
+1 This is a useful list, especially because choosing a mobile app development partner depends on more than just company rankings. india_app_developer.
+1 Thank you - appreciate the commentary. yoyoyo123
+1 bump qazwsx246
+1 It's worth noting that Loake have two production lines. One is partially made in India and finished in England (1880 range), and the other is outsourced to India (design range). Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Congrats on negative ratio sb/ms waccexpo
+1 Again, you're proving my point. The conversation is about how you work at a hedge fund and think you're better than everyone else, yet you need to threaten to spit and stomp on people and call them retarded. It's sad. Intern in ER
+1 All my homies hate Wells Fargo Based-Monké
+1 I’m a guy - would just prefer to work in an environment that promotes camaraderie amongst peers in an already hyper competitive industry. LMEao
+1 Sure but I don’t plan to do it for than 2-3 years. A worthwhile time to see what it’s about and learn quick. But agreed not going to be in this for the long run antenna.strand5b
+1 Agree. It almost makes me wonder if it makes sense to go to a more entrepreneurial local shop that is all-in on a single local submarket. A great example is Shapack Partners in Chicago. CRE Mamba
