Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 Yes, ICADE is part of Comillas. I’m Spanish, so speaking Spanish wouldn’t be an issue for me. [email protected]
+1 did you get it? MarketsMarcus
+1 My 2 cents on BofA as someone who has a bunch of friends working there: Top buckets get compensated fairly enough with maybe a tad bit higher stock % in bonuses. gelato_cuspids1d
+1 UBS - 2 weeks. This bank is bad for even sabbaticals. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 BofA is 3 weeks as well between A2A wsouser00
+1 Logo Drop Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 best group at UBS!  11_Madison_Perc
+1 Moelis - 4 weeks (data is generally what it was in the 2010s from my experience) Hags28
+1 JPM is two weeks, but you can stack additional PTO on top of it and make it 4 if you want to burn those PTO days Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 On base salary it’s not a crazy discount but I’m getting way smaller bonuses than my friends in banking. About half on a percentage points basis.  johnny-mnemonic
+1 Hopefully it’s closer to $10Bn than anything sub $3Bn. I’m not sure small shops have resources or reps to learn how to do things right. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 lol Farallon is super legit… don’t know about back office differences though Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Recruit for a smaller, more local firm with later recruiting dates, then use that experience to get a FT offer at a good firm. Alternatively, find a startup that you can do some free work for to build your resume. Associate 1 in Consulting
+1 Perella is 3 weeks dudebro1
+1 I think a lot of firms are 4 days. Obviously the more grindy the firm is the more days you will be in the office, so like a mm dcm group is probably 4 days assuming theyre not slammed  Crapple
+1 yeah ur md is def sober bro chickennugget801
+1 The Jevons Paradox thing atm is just cope Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Do you ever worry about Madami types passing new regulations, or do you steer clear of rentals in areas that are not landlord friendly? pjm.priv
+1 TB is in a lot of trouble too. Their last 2 funds (excluding the fund just raised, which is way too early to tell, i.e. might only have 1 or 2 investments in it), are going through a lot of struggles. The Sailpoint IPO? VP in PE - Other
+1 bump, so many bs accounts Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Ah so more of the Marcus Aurelius stem of stoicism. ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 Will be harder for US opportunities post bschool. International experience is discounted and the assumption is deals are far less complex than what you’d see in the US. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Maimonides  Hags28
+1 Also fwiw before that even happens likely there is already some $100mm+ net worth person already in some publicly traded or MFPE firm that if they continue to rise the ranks, earn carry, compound their current net worth at Hags28
+1 "How is military spending a public good, but spending on the public isn't?" Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+1 In the US (no particular order): JPM, GS, Evercore, KBW (Banks / Depositaries) Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 Reps + Models and Memo's. The bigger the shop, the more silo'd your responsibilities are.  Southern_cre
+1 Looking more and more likely your Mark Walter thesis could be coming true. The Aquarian news is definitely pointing to a potentially broader contagion. Still the early innings tho IoPio77
+1 Allocating capital.   asmith_1
+1 Not IB, but AI is a good learning tool. Sup_Bro23
+1 Ignore title. I’m surprised you think this. What’s your data? I’m at a large cap buyout fund and we definitely charge 2/20. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 nicolasm1208If you dont mind, how do they decide if they like you or not ?  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I don’t get why I got MS for my comment but as a Jr my job was to make models and slide decks. I would Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 yea bot or spam sadly, they gotta clean it up... Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1  no it's just a slow market. I think you should be fine. Just keep going.  Associate 3 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 if you are interested, just tell them I need to wait a few months before I'm ready to leave my current role so let's keep in touch. ProbablyEngAnyway
+1 No. I do think a lot more are not interested in staying in PE. Know a lot of current analyst 2s in IB who are going to PE with plans to later go into something else. PE is still viewed as a finishing school for IB. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 How did trackr even manage to get the mandate Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Lol, "Once you are recognized as a good analyst, you can do your job in less than 8 hours". spudrmonke
+1 Same boat just as you mate. Interned in IB this summer (no RO - all good). You just live on and accept the fact that you have grown tremendously as a person than those wealthy kids. CuriousGeorge63
+1 I disagree with the person above.You need to:1. Have a good story on what you have done thus far (have you been sitting around doing nothing or trying to get some relevant or any work experience)  PeterPark3r
+1 FIG but seemed like multiple groups were interviewing on that superday. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 St. Augustine. (‘Favorite’ is a bit of a misnomer but nobody has influenced my thinking more) seminarydropout
+1 also in the same boat MarketsMarcus
+1 mkaypowloSt Thomas aquinas Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+1 This. Most people learn what they're shown at the place where they happen to land. MMPM
+1 As many here have said the stoics - namely Marcus Aurelius is a good one. However, my favorite is Epictetus. He has a great sense of humor! larry david
+1 For behaviorals its just like any other process. For technicals, they'll be more related to debt and make sure you have a reasonable "why pubfin" answer.  Analyst 2 in IB - PubFin
+1 Kant bananabean
+1 It’s now 2 weeks and largely informal (HR will never tell you about it) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Thank you for the advice. I did a PE search fund internship along with a summer internships in CB but in a different country so not extremely valuable but some experience I guess. Josh06
+1 Classic ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 ball knowledge running76jetfuel
+1 Diogenes. Less my favorite due to a belief in his school (cynicism), more favorite due to his crazy antics of being a crazed homeless dude. asdf1248
+1 Diogenes is one of the only good answers in here. That guy was a free man in every sense of the word.  ballsdeep singh
+1 I get it, I will give you an exemple. if you average a C in college and you want to get As, you will have to put a lot of effort. Once you get As, the effort to maintain the A is a lot less. ER 15
+1 Spinoza viking.monkey
+1 valid Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Funny story - a friend got asked to confirm that he does not need sponsorship now or future LIVE at a JPM nyc superday. They might favor kids who do not need sponsorship. Shawn.S.1131
+1 Too much Hollywood I guess. /s princey.8999
+1 51. UK here. delboy
+1 you must really like chess Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Oh i see, thanks eduardofidalgo
+1 I really like Nietzsche and Aurelius, they’ve been pretty integral in how I think about the world ectmt
+1 Bump, wondering the same thing ectmt
+1 Congrats on UBI! ectmt
+1 99% of them will be out of this industry in max. 5 years, so doesn't matter GS under Blankfein
+1 I disagree. As soon as AI gets more reliable in modelling (and Rogo and Claude are improving very fast) product bankers will get cooked. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 You're not tied to a market with bocconi, its well known in Europe. Half of the grads don't stay in Italy anyway (including the italians).  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 ameliaparker021Finding a best real estate agent is a quite tuff deal. So is basic grammar and spelling, apparently.  CRE
+1 You read books and visualize what style fits you the most. A better way is to invest your own money and see what suits you the best. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 you got the FIG offer? MarketsMarcus
+1 Stop shouting Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 bump Newgirl_1

+1 in Texas (DAL/HOU) Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Whites from Europe and Blacks from Africa, not Indians from India or Chinese from China  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 It does, but your job in PC is ultimately to create a book of good credits (that involves originating those credits but large part of the skillset is in identifying the right ones) packet
+1 where ever you can get a job tbh and no not trolling...  Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 mf talking bout sum erome on wso 😭🙏 stag69
+1 My family left Scandinavia, came to the new world, and landed on Nantucket 350 years ago. Don’t even look in my direction . Jeffery Montenbeauberg
+1 Founders were very sus from the start. Went through informal convos with them and were very disingenuous about their deal flow. They asked to see prior models from other firms. Ended up being a total waste of time. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 . cicada2398561645
+1 I am a PM and am constantly in touch with our traders and cap markets through the day. If I have to respond to some IBs on a trade or other live matter during a meeting, it will be done. Principal in HF - Event
+1 Econ major is kind of deflated (many classes round the curve to B/B+), they have an option to design your own major now so maybe do that or PPE and Gov is always a safe bet. Research Analyst in Research - Other
+1 I like to keep my posts shorter but this one is important.   Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+1 Did you network? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Specific groups cannot be said to have generally better or worse WLB across the street (except for DCM/ECM which tend to be a little lighter). Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I tell you this with good intentions: learn to Google, use AI etc. Use some initiative to find your info and then ask Qs that on info you can't find cos this is a very basic Q. nutmegger189
+1 After not getting really sick for 3 years even after spending my weekends at frat parties, my body was shutting down from stress during banking. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 MRNA was your pick? Spotted the generalist Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 This is the case for most careers, mind you. Most people don't feel a passion for actuarial science or tax law straight out of college.. MMPM
+1 By convincing yourself you're the greatest credit investor of all time, antagonizing everyone who ever worked for you, and half-heartedly trying to catch up competitors after blowing a gigantic headstart in private credit. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 I dont think he was asking whether or not he would lose his job bro moo4life2
+1 If it's any type of PM seat you're being considered for, you'll be expected to have developed thoughts on portfolio construction, risk management and all that, relevant to the specific fund/firm. MMPM
+1 My issues aren't with indians in the bullpen.  It's when those Indians become mid level and senior bankers they are horrible to work for. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Sort of looking for advice on how to feel more comfortable at school UCTreeHugger
