Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 That doesn't make any sense from an interview conduct perspective.  If it is really understaffed and a senior made time to for an interview they would be 100% focused on being efficent with their time. ioncewenttoschool
+1 I don't know, vibe was they couldn't be bothered with the interview. CPMA's15
+1 Just tell your friend he works with a bunch of assholes and leave it at that. ioncewenttoschool
+1 Simple - just don't speak to the current process. No need to raise flags or bring unnecessary attention.   VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Following Overseass
+1 I’ll be waiting for an update in 2 months! Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 bump nastycaptainrex
+1 Yeah and ultimately if you grind hard with clubs, no one in or out of the school will bat an eye at you being from GS, given that you did national service (shows resilience at least versus the average silver spoon kid). Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 As a newly minted “unc” (by one of my braver analysts) what does “herb” mean? YellenForYield
+1 Dude, who cares about the “official” rankings? People in the industry (the same ones that will be in charge of hiring/recruiting) are giving you candid judgement around the school’s reputation on Wall Street. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 People who work at $1B AUM SMs are scared their seats are going away due to AI and industry pressures...I cant imagine the lack of stability that comes with such a sub-scale SM. Factor
+1 How do you fuck up so badly that you get a 3.3 from a non target?? I mean at some point autopilot has to take over… idk if you have the mental capacity for finance man Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 bump VP in IB - Gen
+1 Happy to update down the line, I think I'm going to take a hands off approach here and hope the kid realizes on his own to stick with the basics. wjhamilton
+1 Feel like it’s happened to this site in general over time, more and more ai slop posts/replies. Although the trolls are pretty fucking funny Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Just leave. They'll yell at you for probably 10 mins, talk shit about you behind your back, but you'll be long gone by then and will probably never see most of those people again. Leverage Hero
+1 I shitposted on wso 24/7 and replied "congrats on Stifel !" under every ranking placing them higher than Z- pitchdeck
+1 I'm in the same boat (Stern 2030), except I went to a Bay Area public lol. 1550 SAT, multiple ECs and leadership, 13 APs all 4/5, and I thought I was the shit, but was also rejected from all the Ivies I applied to. kanyewestlover
+1 About a week after the superday, ru interviewing? Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I said top 30 undergrad for finance, not to study business. But here: Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Not saying Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 is this rage bait RogerTheAlien
+1 Money of Mine sometimes has energy episodes that are good acardboardmonkey
+1 currents podcast jaart
+1 They are all the same. They do the same expert calls to the same expert people. The difference is slide formatting.  Relentlessly Pragmatic
+1 Not sure what that guy above was talking about. It's not meant to block only DHT in the scalp, it never was. wsa007
+1 Yeah you’re right, came on here to lie about my comp on an anonymous forum. Wasn’t top bucket either btw Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I think it's 50/50 degree of intelligence and actual obsession with what you do. That obsession is why people with all the money in the world still go to work in a variety of fields. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 "Oil and Gas This Week" is rly good Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 Followed by a very akward 15 - 20 seconds when a nervous junior who wasn't sure if they were senior enough to announce themselves remained silent and a frustrated MD would ask the same "who just joined?" question 2 - 3 fur Count WACCula
+1 lmao I read this and thought this dude 100% works at EVR hahahaha Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 ooooh I really liked this Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Market is tough. I know so many people who are in similar situations. MonopolyMoney
+1 It's a numbers game; don't be lazy. You should try to get as many people on the phone as possible to maximize your chance of success. That's all there is to it. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Can vouch for the lateral, seen a buddy go FVA SA to LMM IB FT (eg. Stout, BGL, Keybanc) then EB after 1 year AnonymousRabbit
+1 More the specific vibe, my dad had a 93 and later a TT and it’s a fair bit of nostalgia. I like the Miata, but it’s just not going to scratch the itch.  guyfromct
+1 funny how students always think in black-white dichotomies. "Quality or Quantity" / "Work hard or smart"Erm both?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Wait until bonus clears in the account.  Be prepared to pack up and leave immediately (especially if going to a direct competitor).  Mezz_Star
+1 Selectively ignoring Medallia lol. Nice. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I dunno. I think if I'm giving IB my 200% for 2 years just to leave to PE, I'll start PE already burnt out. On the other hand, if I chill in IB while having PE lined up, then I can hit PE with all my energy. Kevin25
+1 Yeah this has to be one of the most inaccurate statements in a while… Sometimes better to just not say anything when you’re not informed. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 Let me pm you but sure. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 I think you just summed up my problem so well. I have not gotten into either program, and honestly, I will be making a decision based on fellows. I understand TCU is a grind. monkeybanana22
+1 lol I didn’t know they don’t host earnings calls… handler too busy to talk to analysts now? Analyst 2 in HF - Event
+1 People think funny but this is actually true (for good or for worse). Not even necessarily insecurity, just a desire / need to prove yourself (either to yourself / others / the world). Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Wow helpful, and congrats on nailing the case lappingezcomps
+1 You’re overthinking a bit, this is a very positive signal. Kevin W.
+1 Say Wallahi bro wuandale33
+1 Desk: BB Middle Office Hours are ~40 pw Level: Analyst 1Base: £45kBonus: 10-20% zeus_
+1 At Mind Mingles, we are a results-driven digital marketing agency dedicated to helping businesses grow, scale, and succeed in the ever-evolving digital landscape. pandayadhira
+1 You need to show the associate that you are going to bat for them to the seniors. Otherwise why should they grind for you? SOFRsoGood
+1 Bold of you to assume staying in “in the game” is even desirable or worth it. Tons of people stick with it for a few years, realise the money isn’t even that great or worth it and go do something else.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Well, at the end of the day it’s pretty simple: either you want to grind or you don’t. Kevin W.
+1 A lot of people who study maths/sciences eventually get bored and want to switch to a less technical path at the end of their degree or after their first job. pitchdeck
+1 move to GS/MS/JPM if you want a realistic chance mate Pepper Jack
+1 analyst role out of undergrad and got a portion of my team's book as time progressed. Basically pure paper for O&G team although firm has historically done some physicals  in the past. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Mandatory image when talking about IR Soros_
+1 Interesting to hear. Not once in my arb career have I built anything more advanced than the most basic of LBOs. I spend most of my time on the phone/antitrust work/traveling to “see for myself” etc. PeterEater
+1 Why would you need to send an email from a work email to say hello? Do you not text your friends? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Deal structuring has tons of resources to learn on places like YouTube.  I will caution you however, the people who generate this content are often times not exactly the sharpest crayon in the box. ioncewenttoschool
+1 Your last comment as to whether this is worthwhile to do is a good question. If you are doing down-the-fairway multifamily acquisitions or development deals, maybe not. DiversifyYoBondsMF
+1 I feel you have a better odds of getting a return offer if your VP catches you jerking off in the bathroom than doing what ever this is. ioncewenttoschool
+1 I agree, I do these types of deals personally.  My point is that the time you spend to get dangerous enough with this stuff may not be well used. ioncewenttoschool
+1 Associate 1 in PE - LBOs Works at The Family Office
+1 How about SMU Alts? Competition probably not that hard to get in since student caliber a bit lower and not as many gunning for IB, but seems to place very well. Ratfarts
+1 From the perspective of someone who works in long only, I wouldn't usually put those companies together as a group, but yeah those are all the "top" places people would want to work in their spaces currently. marketMergerMaddie
+1 MII is buns bro.  no_home_jerome
+1 Eh, I still question the need for periodic full body MRI scans unless it's clinically indicated. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Consensus from HH’s so far is similar timeline as last year (January) Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 tbh I would just not say anything and if your friend asks give a watered down version of what happened as to not offend him (i.e. they didn’t seem interested, etc) Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I'll just say I'm a skeptic of any longevity medicine trends that recommends overconsumption of medical care / tests when there is no clinical indication. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 It’s a more natural transition from IB where everyone is an asshole as well. The email tone is just how people speak, it’s not that that makes them assholes, it’s the way they approach everything at work.  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I swear for someone who has worked in this industry for 4+ years you sound like a freshman undergrad comparing these places. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Odog always coming in with the most insightful comments.  Dev_WanaBe
+1 Maybe RE expanded too hard post covid and now there’s a hangover effect in the industry Xhamster02
+1 They know they are inferior from the day 1 and gatekeep/act like assholes/go full hardo to make themselves feel better. Xhamster02
+1 Partner in RE - Comm odog @digitalimmortality.com
+1 Great perspective Odog Ralph Lauren
+1 I liked the trade floor, and some teams e.g. FX sales and hedging advisory seemed interesting. Equity derivative sales was also a great team. Anonymous Monkey
+1 NGI hub and flow is huge for learning more about natural gas and understanding the general flow. More emphasis on news for traders though and less for bankers tank_monkey
+1 I work in credit so will offer my 2cents. Bond markets are clearly way less efficient. That being said, you really have to be ok with 1-massive downside on names and 2- capped upside. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Real estate sucks as a long term career. As someone who lost their job due to restructuring and had to accept a below market role, I'd suggest considering other industries. BuySideIntern
+1 The standard is still IB - PE. Here, in India, Big 4 TAS is an underrated option. thinkingbridge
+1 Yes, clearly HYP have far better finance placement per capita but the data does help when picking between schools in the same tier Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Appreciate you sharing your opinion / insights. No debate, you have very valid points. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 Should I just say it? Realize you're a W2 worker inside a golden cage, making someone else richer, and taking life way too seriously. You're a pawn on someone else's board. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Wisconsin sleeper akpsiontop
+1 Congrats on UBS! Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Someone please go light up that WSO thread where the founder attempted to refute claims of mismanagement Retired in PE - Other
+1 Materially better. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Schools that went down: UC Berkeley, Harvard, BYU, Yale, Western Ivey Schools that went up: Indiana, UChicago, Boston College, Vanderbilt Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Virtually no presence in the US. 5 total current analysts.  terabyte
+1 Not a finance expert here but I’ve been told that an in-person msf is a lot better from a networking perspective if you were to do a msf program. CluelessFinanceDude
+1 Morgan Stanley or Nomura? panda-123.
+1 Morgan Stanley or Nomura? panda-123.
+1 could you tell us which firms you included for MM?  avazhu
+1 loving the recs here, but why the fuck is everything about data centers these days holy fuck Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 just got into a MF (non-acquisitions tho) and I had a sub-3.0 GPA from a non-target. it’s uncommon but possible depending on how intentional you are with your work exp/breaking into certain roles and learning key skills. Analyst 3+ in RE - Other
+1 Suprised nobody's commenting here, this is hugeeee news, they were one of the biggest players in the paint the cabinets and flip game and consistently denied they were in trouble. This is nuts  terra879
+1 Just recruited SA27. I found alumni connections vs non alumni connections to have much less of a difference than people claim here once you actually get them on the phone. Intern in PE - LBOs
