Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 According to the retards that run that country you can just come over and you are a citizen.  ioncewenttoschool
+1 Are data centers a fad? No.  Are they a good place to have a career in? Likely also no.  I think we are 7 - 10 years away from pretty much all new compute being done in space or on the edge. ioncewenttoschool
+1 Imagine needing a visa when literal terrorists are getting permanent residency for showing up in a boat with a fake sob story lol PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 . energytraderrr
+1 That’s wild. I did something similar, although the first deal I ever put an offer on I closed. Partner in RE - Comm
+1 I always heard restaurants were a shit business… low margin, highly competitive, etc., although the Greeks and many others have figured them out… I hear liquor and breakfast are where it’s at. Partner in RE - Comm
+1 Parents have a net worth in the mid eight figures. I also think because I was able to make that money myself pretty easily, I don’t view it as THAT much. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 Thanks, really appreciate the perspective. Very encouraging to hear. Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 We do both growth strategy and buyout. We give our an/asso candidates a 4-hr LBO modeling test. I normally just check if dem balance sheet is balanced (lol). Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 You'll have a grad visa so yes of course. Had a friend that landed a summer at MM while on the visa after LSE Intern in HF - Other
+1 Holy ai slop Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Very strong and have been on many notable LMEs the last few years. Probably in line or right below HL and below EVR/PJT Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Just simply practice. I found the skills come along with the job and not to worry too much about it. E.g., dont use your mouse when creating a model 99twotwo1
+1 Thank you for this, some decent advice, and congrats!  alexcokke
+1 honestly just a good QAT setup Intern in IB-M&A
+1 No bro lol Benson Says
+1 I did a summer at a BB in London last year and went on plenty of coffee chats Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Yes. Space removes massive amounts of ground based constraint, it has unlimited power and space, no pun intnended. ioncewenttoschool
+1 He's just trolling dude; respect on your experience. I believe you ;0 IndustrialWarehouse
+1 That's fair, and good on you and your folks, but you have to view it like playing "catch up". equitymuncher
+1 S&T for sure requires social skills, both in talking to clients and communicating with them, but also especially in macro trading you need to understand the political landscape of the country you trade, which is quite Analyst 1 in S&T - FI
+1 I mean honestly, it's not just PE / consultants. I used to hate getting asked, "what do you do?" until I realized how common it was for any adult to eventually ask this after meeting someone new. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 two chicks at the same time .... in a $99.99M house asmith_1
+1 Extremely sweaty. Apollo lifestyle without the Apollo comp Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 First off, if you're at a networking event, no shit people are going to skip the bullshit small talk and get into it.  They don't care about your golf game or home life. Ozymandia
+1 What gets me wrong is that they crash on me for being late. The office is an hour from my house when traffic is bad. A few more questions (happy to PM with you as well) anonymous28777
+1 Could be 5+ years in sunbelt markets before typical deals make sense again. Brokers push back their rent growth projections every year. BoomerVoomer
+1 jeez dude what bank do you work at sounds like such a sweat shop lmfao pbwind2024
+1 I think cornell=columbia for IB but columbia>cornell for mbb.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 ioncewenttoschool m_1
+1 The first corp dev role I had out of IB / PE was purely execution. A pure-play roll-up with a lot of deals moving through the pipeline. thulse12
+1 White collar services. Tougher than blue collar services from a stakeholder management perspective. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Short them then investor45
+1 Hourly pay is ABSOLUTELY a good measure. Is a construction worker making 10% more per week than an engineer after working twice the hours “doing better”? arossi11637
+1 Looking at OP's post history, pretty sure that they'll be coming in at a lot more senior level than an intern lol huitt
+1 Thanks. Understand live deal mode means high hours but how is your WLB on non-live deal weeks?  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Take a week off using vacation. Then say you are sick at WFH following week. Thats what I did. Firm was relaxed with having zoom camera on vs off so made it easier. Short hair obviously makes this easier. Director in IB - Cov
+1 You can try to exit directly from I'm assuming audit/tax, but most exits are with a big 4 deals team in the middle. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 lol enlightenedfinancebro
+1 Centerview Partners Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I'm only a student so apologies if I'm way off the mark but I reckon expressing intent about what you want to do on Excel and AI doing it can't be too far off at all. sp1313
+1 agreed, claude mogs  VP in PE - Other
+1 Ares DL - A1 - £75k (not sure on bonus) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 you use AI to write - i read the fasting and third eye essays and it's very high in AI content Investment Analyst in HF - RelVal
+1 Had a senior I used to work with go to the doctor because his resting bpm was 120. Another colleague got fatty liver (probably from alcohol). clowngrade_
+1 Commenting to avoid bot.  Prospect in PE - LBOs
+1 Prospect in IB-M&A RandomMonkey0628
+1 Excellent contribution to this site! +SB!  Wags_Wagner
+1 It's either A) You have a good network and family background and can swing a spot B) You are somehow super impressive / DEI and someone feels nice enough to give you some mentorship. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Don't have actual data but definitely feel like this is the case as well. A lot of LMM PE firms seem to focus on buy and builds. I see a lot of corp dev opportunities for PE-backed roll-ups Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Partner in RE - Comm mclovin1225
+1 All good advice however good work and taking stuff off people’s plate usually just yields more work because people know you can get stuff done well..  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Obviously depends on coverage team’s headcount / hiring growth expectations, but I suspect that they get folded into the coverage team of the industry that they worked on the most; not uncommon to see even 1st year M&A Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 nobody cares lmao I went to a target school and so did many others on here PhantomGhost
+1 Thanks ever so much. Will certainly heed your advice and focus on volume as the best way forward probably. sp1313
+1 You're most welcome. Keep us updated on your progress, which is certain if you keep the same energy rough diamond

+1 nutmegger189: arossi11637
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about a BNP Paribas Montreal to NYC pipeline or the North America Mobility Program. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 I havent heard anything about m&a as a product group getting folded Research Analyst in Research - Other
+1 Depends on what seat it is. Is it one of the grad programs (specifically P72 Academy/CAP)? Would take it in a heartbeat IF you want to do publics LT. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I want to be able to finance my chipotle burrito over the next 20yrs plz help  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Shutup freshman go get laid KageSelly
+1 first go take care of ur distressed sex life Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Agreed - it still gets things like circ refs, formatting, organization, inputs, and optionality incorrect without strong context and the user already having a clear vision of what and how they want to accomplish something. MrTranche
+1 Yes you can go to an EB or BB plenty of people have done it. Just network, write a good blurb on your internship, have good technicals, and get a return and you will have a great chance.  asi123
+1 How'd it go guys Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Can someone start a megathread Intern in IB - Cov
+1 useless peanunt
+1 Commercial towing is absolutely popping off right now. Fastest I’ve seen PE activity pickup in a 6 month period ever for a specific sector loud_bathroom
+1 Actually reaching out with genuine interest / intent to build a relationship (having great questions that show you've done your research) vs. having really generic conversations that lead you nowhere. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Any idea how comp scales at MD level? Fair to say late 30s and into your 40s youre in the 2-5m/yr range? Director in PE - LBOs
+1 Nope. Dr. Carlos Wesley in NYC. Expensive, but worth it IMO, top notch work. 15-25k (I was about 20k) vs. probably 5k in turkey. Director in IB - Cov
+1 Sponsor Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 You either fall up the ladder and inherit someone else’s relationships / rely on brand name, or you get out there and make it happen. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I’ve worked with several expert networks in the PE space and have had a very positive experience with Nexus Expert Research. albertjhon
+1 being bad at job = bad being smart about allocating your time and energy = good SOFRsoGood
+1 you're a human in the world with agency. come in at like 4a one day with the chair. get a very noticeable lumbar rest accessory that goes on top of the chair. SOFRsoGood
+1 ppl that got 1rs - what schools? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Hi there! I came here with the same questions. I'm not sure if you're still active on here, but I'd love to ask a few questions and brainstorm together if you don't mind me DMing you or chatting here. autumn.komorebi
+1 What do you mean solid stuff? Never seen PWP on any major deals and they aren't in any conversation in tech banking Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 Hi! This is helpful information because I'm also trying to understand what the EH Academy is looking for and if it's worth applying if I don't have previous finance experience.  autumn.komorebi
+1 Honestly, calling data centers a "fad" feels a bit like calling the internet a trend back in the 90s. mithusjc
+1 Well, the base property management fee itself is actually pretty low margin. gwennyh
+1 Honestly, both are amazing schools, so there’s no “bad” decision here. But saving your family nearly $500k is a huge factor and something you shouldn’t ignore. Divyanshu
+1 Thank you for sharing this it genuinely resonates. Divyanshu
+1 Non targets are just insecure Once in a blue moon a target kid will descend and post something related to this But every week some non target is bashing target kids Möbius'
+1 How? All these numbers seems low? Atlcalling
+1 not in PE but it's gone either way for me in the HF/LO land... one fund/recruiter gave me a rejection/said I was a 2nd choice over the phone... and other times it was basically a soft offer i.e. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Is there a way to turn off this AI swill? These answers are generic and terrible acardboardmonkey
+1 hrpowers gave a very good summary. I would give this an general advice. you need to have an opinion, on everything. All the time. Follow markets constantly, have an opinion on everything you read. leefbmp
+1 This is fine  throughthewire
+1 Depends how much work a given fund does in Poland. It is definetly a plus, but would not change the overall assessment of a candidate. For a German speaker you would sometimes compromise and accept a weaker candidate. Vp in PERE
+1 Absolutely. Was growing in certain pockets before, but since rates increased I would argue it's the primary strategy you see in the MM now. Pretty difficult to pencil a >2.5x w/o M&A these days. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Every other week another kid thinks they’re a genius for creating one of these AI powered networking tools (myself included) but no one has actually scaled a product as it ends up creating more friction than it solves. Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov
+1 Congrats on the new move! When I finally decided to upgrade from my basic Ikea stuff, it made a huge difference just picking a few quality pieces like a solid sofa and a nice accent chair. Hanlon
+1 My whole team got replaced by AI.  thisisanexampleofausername
+1 Depends how confident you are about getting into FMA and how hard set you are going to NY compared to Charlotte or Atlanta doorstop
+1 I would take Wharton but look for as many avenues to lower the burden as possible—reapply for fin aid every year, apply for need based aid, apply externally for aid programs, etc. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 This is the problem. Don’t focus on exits as an intern. By the time you come in it could all be changed. You know what won’t change? The culture. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
