+1 Found the Cresa flex office tenant rep guy Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 My bank cut our summer analyst class by 30% despite record levels of activity. Hours are still very high, we just work on more things at the same time Intern in IB - Cov
+1 bump Quant in HF - Macro
+1 Anyone know if they’re still sending out rd1’s? curious George 2345
+1 You the same guy who said a year ago you think you’re better qualified than everyone else getting junior year internships just because you have parents in the industry and been into finance since before you could walk? Research Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, not hearing back the same day after a superday doesn't necessarily mean you're out of the running. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Target level placements the past 2 years, but the PJT Park Hill incident may throw a minor wrench in it. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Also in an environment (which I think is the prevailing sentiment) where deal flow is high but uncertainty is also high I would spend headcount dollars on experienced hires over unproven grads.  Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks for checking in bro ur good IWillDieForBanking
+1 Damn. I came here to see what constitutes as ‘fun’ for a convertible bond acardboardmonkey
+1 Yeah, but which one? guyfromct
+1 ioncewenttoschool  Brokers are essentially entrepreneurs; they just have a corporate marketing framework.  Ozymandia
+1 The early years in quant trading are indeed critical, but they are not necessarily deterministic. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s what you need to know: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Anonymous Monkey: Not a useful explanation Let me help - you’re low-skilled and very replaceable KageSelly
+1 It’s way easier to trade up than break in, in my experience. An MSF is unlikely to do that much better as most seats are filled via summers. guyfromct
+1 I’d separate “AI replacing analysts” from “AI giving banks an excuse to hire fewer analysts.” The second one is already happening faster than the first. The analyst job is not disappearing tomorrow. Ex-consultant in Tech
+1 Prospect in IB - CovBump Bump aintnowaygng
+1 Yeah not sure what that guy is saying - Kasey is the MD on the ground; had a few coffee chats with him and he was a really nice guy. AVP Quant
+1 Junior lawyers are the first to be automated away. I think our legal spend will prob drop by half this year. WSRaider
+1 Vandy is my #1 program choice, I'm still waiting to hear back from them, depends solely on how much financial aid they give. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 3.7 for MM and 3.9 for MFs. I haven't met anyone that has gotten a top MF offer with lower than a 3.9. But am interested to see if anyone on here has JumboPumpkin
+1  That comp is phenomenal, take that and don’t look back. Accept the offer, then close your laptop and go enjoy your summer. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 that's why we have certified users (see gold star around some usernames)... WallStreetOasis.com
+1 Compliance isn’t sitting there waiting to nuke you for saying hi to friends at other banks. Associate 1 in IB - CB

+1 Going to be January. PE firms still will always heed the words of Jaime DImon and the other senior banking leaders.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 No I don't actually think they are the same in this day and age. My point is that people have been saying HC tech is the next hot thing for 40 years and Biotech was considered HC tech in the 80s and 90s.   ioncewenttoschool
+1 Dogshit is my guess, JPM + AM + London = triple shafted Trader in AM - Other

+1 Far dearer to me than my treasure,The heiress declared,is my leisure.For then I can screw the whole Harvard crew-They're slow, but that lengthens the pleasure. PaulAllensGlasses
+1 No because although this would work fine for pitches or similar tasks; a bit of a nightmare in actual deal processes for an MD to check through every number. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Pe model is to look away from bad news and mark up fund like vista just did. Can’t sell if things change so only option is to dig in. Managing Director in HF - Other
+1 Answers above capture it well. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Ah yes sponsors is definitely still a top group… you clearly don’t work at DB Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Is it not a top group anymore? My impression is that it's probably the best/one of the best groups to be in.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 10 liquid + paid off house I come from a semi poor country so i would be like some royalty if i go back Coconut1983
+1 JFC. Pick the better fit for you, the one you felt more comfortable with and happier at. The outcome for your life both personally and professionally will be much more dependent on your confidence and state of mind vs. FleeClashFoe
+1 I would try and downplay your secondaries experience as much as possible (even though it's more akin to public market is some ways), at least with HHs. Associate 3 in PE - Other
+1 got it. what do you think is possible to do after strategy & product at jane street though? haven't seen any exits from there and am curious what my options are if i don't like the role aroadtoaplace
+1 There is still an IB team, above people saying Kasey is MD are wrong - he left in 2019. Team is mostly ex-GS Calgary. Used to be led by Ken Davis who now runs Barclays, not sure who runs it now. Associate 2 in IB - CB
+1 More like 15+ years. These businesses were already on their second or third PE turn in my analyst days! SOFRsoGood

+1 Thanks for the candid info, how do you feel your health/fitness/appearance changed for the worse after your AN stint? Any noticeable differences and did you manage to recover them afterwards? Analyst 1 in Consulting

+1 NYU’s quality of placement is actually pretty decent too, better than Indiana and Umich and pretty much the same as uchi 188m
+1 Bump Assistant PM in AM - FI
+1 They are similar fund size as FP for flagship fund and their overall fund size across their funds is actually larger than FP. They are THE European software investors, but yes they are newer in the US. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Just tell her how much you make and see if she stays (doubtful) Amazon Prime
+1 Long hours but good culture and comp, exits into UMM and MM funds [email protected]
+1 sure, worth the risk, what's the worst it can happen? go bankrupt and get a new 600k equity injection from dad?  really don't see any downside GS under Blankfein
+1 I do believe it's some type of mental illness. If WSO added a new 3rd layer to be even more anonymous than simply Username (1st layer), and Industry - Seniority (2nd layer), many would still opt for this new 3rd layer GS under Blankfein
+1 If one or two people you met during the interviews really seemed to enjoy you and have some connection with you, you can always ask to grab a quick coffee with them every 6 months. pitchdeck
+1 this is not what I was referring to mate. you will not get a summer through the normal pipelines, you are 17 and haven’t done even done any a levels yet. alexcokke
+1 Bump, but it seems like the exit opportunities are the ones you make.  Spreadsheet Sasquatch
+1 Paranoia that someone could trace through my post history and guess who I am and conclude that I am utterly  insane which I am swe2ibd
+1 I want to thank you for the really insightful comment. I’ll keep the original wording up on my post but it certainly came across and read the wrong way! Principal in HF - Other
+1 I lift 5x per week & run 3x or more. I’ve always carved out time no matter what, whether at midnights or in the middle of the day. ROCKYBALBOA83
+1 In similar boat but with ~10 years of IB+PE experience. Carry is underwater for me and my fund is struggling so no real long-term value to stay. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 This is me right now. Working on making the jump by doing my first deal off the side of my desk. My nights are shot bc I am working on my side business and weekends I take Saturday off. Right back to work Sunday night. pudding
+1 A lot of what you’re describing is real, but I don’t think it’s purely “things got worse” — it’s more like the system optimised for a different set of constraints. bobybryan
+1 I had this conversation with a colleague of mine, and it's fascinating to see how my answer differed so much from my colleague's. I always thought the magic number for me would be between ~$3 - $5M USD. FinnesseGod
+1 I'll chime in with one of mine. WONDERFUL FinnesseGod
+1 $35 for dinner on weekdays (after 7pm), 2 $35 meals on weekends (Seamless) Uber (inc. Black) after 10pm weekdays Associate 3 in Non-profit

+1 Focus on getting a return offer first Intern in IB - Cov
+1 THL is also doing terribly performance wise. Friend there said last fund is fourth quartile. It's also definitionally a JAMMBO firm. Would not want to work there over most growing or well-performing funds. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Well C-PACE is paid through a tax assessment so.... it will operated exactly as any other tax forclosure.  ioncewenttoschool
+1 ANL1 top bucket last year was $70k. What is it this year with better fees across the board - 80k? can mid-bucket be 65-70? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 When running a business it makes sense to focus on the target customer! Sounds like you're not the target customer! Works at Citadel Investment Group

+1 Know someone with top MF offer w below a 3.6 Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 Good afternoon, Patrick Summer Associate in HF - Event
+1 LOL, focus on getting return offer. People from Citi go to MF - when that time comes it’s your performance that matters not the name of the firm davani1420
+1 And i Will say broaden your search- MMs are also equally good and maybe make your life easier via spring  davani1420
+1 thanks!  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 What did you end up doing? arw444
+1 I’m at a similar situation. Graduated from an Ivy with 3.1. Banks don’t seem to care (my offer did say that I had to say above 3.0) but went through oncycle recruiting and got to the very end of a MF process. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Congrats on Charlesbank Intern in IB - Cov
+1 capital interview experts is a scam and has inaccurate questions. please don't trust this guy and his fake upvotes. Likewise with whatever the shit ibtechprep is either. Stupid astroturfing Works at Morgan Stanley
+1 What did you quit to do if I may ask? Anon.Banker
+1 yes, you're finished. your life is over. give up.you'll amount to nothing. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Perplexity computer is pretty good if you tell it the design.  plzgivemeajob
+1 I've noticed the same, it doesn't make any surface level mistakes like all the formulas are correct and linked correctly but the logic is off especially if you don't tell it the exact model design.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Don't agree with this view tbh. First the errors are easily correctable with a wrapper. The deliverables in IB all look pretty much the same so making a wrapper is incredibly easy. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
