+1 bumping Intern in IB - Gen
+1 One last comment: this might be TMI and I hope it doesn't come across as trolling, but are hobbies not a bit "gay"? I put it in quotation marks to avoid sounding homophobic. marlin_pardon2
+1 Just ignore it, who cares Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+1 This is hilarious and will get downvoted to hell but there is an essence of truth. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Why does a no cell phone policy affect your responsiveness, are you texting these people or emailing them? Surely you can respond to emails in class? LAXPipeline
+1 healthcare festive86
+1 Ignore it and move on. Any other option eventually becomes a risk. Associate 3 in HF - Other
+1 Seek help  But in all seriousness just move out to Boulder larry david

+1 Terrible x4 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 You are making a big assumption that $10mm isn't "all his net worth".  It could reasonably be a very huge portion of his liquidity.  I'm sure he has a huge house, and not much more. Ozymandia
+1 Gaming. Definitely had an addiction as a teenager. Outgrew it in my first few years in college. Barely touch them now. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 I mean, can you prove you weren’t on the island?  bananahunter_1029
+1 If you’re a career switcher coming in as an international, it’s a huge uphill battle to be very candid, regardless of VIP or not. BulgeBracketBrand123
+1 good list, this is solid advice  bananahunter_1029
+1 This is the most beautiful post I have seen in a very long time. Ap_123
+1 wish i could do the same and be worth billions Intern in IB - Restr
+1 Squid dumbdumbyyy
+1 Audit, fp&a, ideally transaction services is where plenty of people start. I'd say do one internship there and then an off cycle in a boutique small cap Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 any updates on harris williams process? randomperson6767
+1 Thanks! It's interesting that we're coming out of the bottom of the cycle. I just hope we come out of the bottom far enough by next fall that REPE funds are looking for acquisitions interns! Mr. Disagreeable
+1 shitty post. A post made to shill a stupid guidingwallstreet website literally made two days ago. Nobody uses this shit Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Easy in, I've seen people with no finance experience get into LBS so should be good. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 IBest of luck to you my man!!! chickenp
+1 Dates on the right, your university is wrong 99% of the time about this stuff  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 If university careers advisors knew what they were talking about they wouldnt be university careers advisors nutmegger189
+1 Pass the controller lil bro user231463
+1 Currently An2 and really began to understand maybe HF guys are intellectually (way) superior seeing this guy asking this question on WSO Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 jr analyst discretionary sr analyst % of PNL (or discretionary, but more tied to PNL). or PNL adjusted for sector, beta, etc partner % of firm PNL + % of GP if very senior HFPM15
+1 Aint no way a “tulaner” is talking shit lmfao 1ce170
+1 What made u remotely think that was fine lol melwhatup
+1 midlevels and MDs define an investment shop, not associates.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 credev99eh at scale yardi or something similar is a borderline necessity if you’re not outsourcing management IsItREPE
+1 Yeah, Yardi definitely qualifies as "similarly ubiquitous software for property management."  OP even called it out as on the same level as Excel or Argus Ozymandia
+1 Bad. Do not lateral to EVR from WF, my friend NW Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Can’t really speak to that but I imagine there is no modeling regarding sovereign debt issuance. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Thank you for the constructive comment. It has definitely made me think more seriously about this career path, especially since it also seems to offer better financial opportunities. a.vajda0
+1 do you think they go too much in depth wallstreet999
+1 So is strategic advisory just their M&A practice? any else have insights on the interviews? wallstreet999
+1 You only have ~6 months to ask as many stupid questions as possible so get them in while you can goldmanornothing
+1 Uhh, do not listen to this. The fact that Macquarie is not even listed shows they do not know what they are talking about. This list is pretty much entirely all wrong… Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 anything from db? nontarget_2026
+1 $1m by 36 (I modeled it out and base case is $1m at 36, 38 conservatively). Just over $600k right now at age 32 but accelerating as career progresses and debt gets paid off. kiltedlowlander
+1 Actually, very collaborative! Half of the work is education & project work, and when you have access to so many intelligent colleagues, why not make use of the asset?  chimpeus
+1 Has AM done supers yet?  Gheowghwourhg388
+1 Update 1: I am 2/2 rn. Will have 2 calls in the coming weeks. Obviously it doesn’t mean that sth. Will develop, but at least it is a start. Will try to contact 5 other individuals next week and report afterwards. CollierV
+1 I don’t know if Cantor Fitzgerald hires women, but if they do, they are all fair game G0ldmanSacks
+1 Similar financial situation, ran the numbers. If you invest a lot of your money in the market and assume average 8% return - very achieveable numbers. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 I honestly didn’t know about the GRE until I was a few months in to studying. I think it’s easier than the GMAT, given that the GMAT now has “LSAT”-esque data questions in the data insights section.  coolmowgli52
+1 Agree here. You're supposed to be lost in the first few months.  Singhsation22
+1 they just switched domains Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I think guidingwallstreet has some articles on this but id say to lower your standards. Maybe instead of IB you look for middle office or backoffice roles Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 If you’re having debt problems then just call Ken Moelis.  Hags28
+1 Disregard Anonymised Title (Info from last full bonus cycle) YOE: 3 Role: Analyst Base: 115k Bonus: 90k Hours Worked: 65-75 Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 Please. If you want something DO NOT give up on it. Find something that you’re truly interested in whether it’s AM/PC/IB and do not give up on trying to get it. anonymoususer182
+1 Open their fucking website bro Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Dude, I just played 18 and looking for a cold Miller Lite before my VP sends more comments. Give me a break. ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 I just finished Y1 and have positive reviews pointing toward Sr. Asso so I might stay Sr. Asso bc it’s a meaningful pay bump. But I might leave after my 2nd year too. Idk. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 MN rx offers out  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Any new on Chicago WB? user8214
+1 NewIndustryHorizonDead giveaway for those who know hehe. Definitely worth reviving a 5 year old thread in order to giggle.  IsItREPE
+1 Any update on Industrials or Business Services? Magicalrecruiting
+1 WF FT or DB ? chimpchompchamp
+1 Heard many pods were up big last year as select names recovered. Heard that this year finding good shorts has been harder and is affecting some of the neutral guys Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+1 This is like saying its surprising software engineers are CS majors Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 are levfin spds out? anon_26
+1 All low IQ morons Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 JF Astier? Saba Nazar? Christian Oberle? My money is on Astier, former Barclays global sponsors head, Lehman alum and currently between seats. Would complete the UBS Barclays/Lehman Avengers perfectly. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 I want to do this. I left a pretty good situation because I was young and dumb, only to learn the grass wasn't any greener. Would love to go back. Let me know if you have success  anonymous investor
+1 bump blueyellowpink
+1 just do it Partner in PE - LBOs
+1 Pretty sure this is just false. the whole point of an MD is that they hold personal relationships with clients, not that they just represent the goldman name. breakingbetter
+1 The PE bullets are credible if you frame them as work you supported, rather than implying you owned the deal. jobfitpack
+1 thoughts on fig? heard they run their own modeling  minticecreamplz
+1 This is a UK specific scheme. Plenty of firms do this. It's not just GS and it's not just finance. In fact FO finance has been one of the last industries to offer these types of schemes. nutmegger189
+1 Most analysts earn the same base comp... differentiation comes via bonus. It's not like you have any leverage here either Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 why is that shocking to you? they don't let your VPs go to dinners at your shop? Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 If nothing else, I at least would hope that a CV gap of only 4 months doesn’t amount to much of a red flag fiscality201
+1 The bot’s answer is very good. Unless you’re the only analyst and/or it’s a first time fund, the offer is fixed.  SaaSChimp
+1 There’s a thousand things we need to do that will never happen. We need to establish peace in the Middle East, solve world hunger, assassinate horrible people, etc. crazylifechoices
+1 Not NY / SF but Boston, MM:$120k base / $90k target bonus Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Something that goes unnoticed from a leadership perspective is Koder is a capital markets guy. He’s never done M&A and the group’s strategy and expertise reflects that. RBOB_squarepants
+1 Sounds cliche, but IMO it's really the culture or mindset they bring in (ie, we are the best advisors, we want to be on the best deals, we can deliver better outcomes vs bank xyz) Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I’m in a similar situation, would anyone be able to rank the courses mentioned here? paulrobeson89
+1 Not overly familiar with EM so can't be of much help unfortunately (re product or bank). Others will be better suited to comment.  bobzen
+1 IMO generally good idea to avoid firms with high voluntary associate turnover…  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 No first-hand experience, but I'd imagine you should be preparing to for both normal QT stuff (stats, probability, game theory) and basics about markets (e.g. bobzen
+1 nobody gives a fuck. bring whatever you want. i will say vast majority of interns i work with just have a backpack. what actually matters is your character and work ethic  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Because a teller at my local branch was a jerk to me seven years ago and I had to switch to my local credit union. crazylifechoices
+1 Sign that applications are gonna be opening sooner than ever Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Your account was created 2 days ago and your message has all the hallmarks of AI generated writing. What are you even trying to accomplish here. This isn’t Reddit. Go away  Cardale Jones
+1 Bump (ignore title) - actively recruiting with the major software players’ large cap funds. Appreciate any insights on those. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Think if you already want to return to east coast t’s only going to grow from here. Obviously GS TMT is at least as good as current group/firm. bruh333
+1 any update on hirevue?!?!?! Works at JPMorgan
+1 Jesus christ this man has experience XD Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks for the insight! I understand that there is SIG, LargeCap FSG, and MidCap FSG(?)—was curious to hear more about the differences between the two besides sponsor sizes? Intern in IB - Gen
+1 A couple of thoughts here. First, are you at MS Menlo or EVR/CVP? MS Menlo (+ GS TMT SF and Qatalyst) are the top tech platforms, with a good gap vs EVR or CVP.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Really appreciate this in-depth response. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 They def won’t, but anyone that worked JPM markets knows what I’m talking about somethingchimpychimp
