+1 "Now it hurts to have sex" okay this guy is just trolling us readthe10k
+1 Completely group dependent. Group and bank combination > school in my opinion. MF / UMM is extremely doable if at bofa m&a/ sponsors, Citi m&a/ind/sponsors, or Barc pui/tech/hc Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Stay there  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 LAZ has been deteriorating for like a decade, nothing new Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 You guys are idiots if you believe this lol, coming from someone who just did SA at evr/laz Intern in IB-M&A
+1 DZ strikes again Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 people on this site always seem to forget that at the end of the day, ib is js a job. You don’t have to be absolutely stoked every second of the job. nqeu1

+1 Yukio Mishima GS under Blankfein
+1 Women can have many internships & will get treated with gloves everywhere... ofc they wont perform like they should... loser1234
+1 I’m not convinced ER guys are actually that good at financial modelling. I’m a couple of months into my first buyside role (career lateral), and most of the SS models I’ve seen are astonishing. Roy Ike
+1 nice comment, odog! dedline
+1 My advice - re-recruit. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 How does a bad MD even get the MD promote? Don't you need to prove revenue generation while still a D to get the promote?  oaktree capital
+1 Can you get return offers if your analyst didnt like you If they didnt, im struggling to see how they extended the RO in a toxic environment unless you were so good that they needed you right back Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Figuring this out is the job, and to be honest a lot of the time your view isn’t truly differentiated.  Analyst 2 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 I work with a guy who did Big Law for a bit and quit when he realized every senior guy at his firm had survived a heart attack.  jarstar1
+1 you’re a goated shitposter? listen to yourself 😂 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Same boat as you brother. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 When I was at UBS a year ago, we’d use the Hyderabad team for everything it was great they would do half my work. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 You start by experimenting. You don’t find out what you are interested in by thinking about you. You need to go out and talk to people and do desktop diligence. Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 lollll fr Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Are you at the Wiser stage? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Helpfu PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Well, not purporting to know any of this super well, speaking as an infra pe analyst myself. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 How do you know apehcape26
+1 IMO, a lot of times ER has a major vanity element which revolves around how relevant the analyst is (corp access, sales, investor conversations etc.). biggiesmalls150
+1 You should feel lucky that you’re not around finance bots all day. Make real friends in college. This doesn’t seem like much of a problem tbh StrategyChimp
+1 Why are you stopping the analysis at 200 years? America reached its peak dominance in the world well after that. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Trackr events tab Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 bump - curious Associate 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Agree. I build my models to handle any type of cap stack, have scenario inputs, sensitivities etc per built. You build something right once, there isn't much work it needs later. brosephstalin
+1 Are you basically asking how to make friends? On_The_Edge
+1 bump, great Qs akxoisjwn
+1 bump Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 It’s called spin-out funds… SaaSChimp
+1 You also sound well-suited to B2B sales, business development roles in PE, or corp dev.  SaaSChimp
+1 Same here, but I have some hope bc 1) it went rly well 2) no one else has said they heard back yet Intern in IB-M&A
+1 What do you mean, what to do? Keep applying obviously. Smoke Frog
+1 FSG is not a strong group, everyone good has left VP in IB - Cov
+1 Absolutely. If your property managers are struggling across the board, it’s probably better to have one specialized team own the digital strategy rather than piecing together different vendors. tusharbisht0515
+1 I did this twice. Once left IB after analyst years and visited about 15 countries the year before COVID. Trans-Siberian train across Russia, Mongolia, china. TBDPEJabroni
+1 PE will usually be more stressful and granular than IB. Remember in PE you are in charge of the entire deal, including FDD, Legal, Tax, SPA, as well as the forecasting/returns and the IC memo. helvetica.bold
+1 PCA / sell-side pays well and better WLB cp101
+1 PHD, Hustler’s University larry david
+1 Al Bundy. The man was ahead of his time, and I've come to see how accurate his views on women, life, marriage, and work. earthwalker7
+1 Superday was yesterday. Prospect in S&T - Other
+1 Reputational damage? Jesus how deluded can a person be? Smoke Frog
+1 You call yourself smart and couldn’t get into real ivy? Sorry, Cornell doesn’t count. Smoke Frog
+1 Beyond a 3.8, I promise GPA does not mean shit to any firm - I know plenty of folks who have 3.9s and 4.0s but strike out on recruiting. Prospect in HF - EquityHedge
+1 No wonder the analysts didn’t want to help you [email protected]
+1 You don’t turn down the others for Jefferies. More money, better exits, better culture, bigger deals. Jefferies kind of sucks in many ways beyond deal flow Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 GS under Blankfein devildog2067
+1 If you're at a BB or larger EB, what you are describing is meaningless. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 permira alcentra cp101
+1 The reality is pay doesn’t align with the sacrifice. Reasonably good pay for unreasonable expectations. You get what you pay for. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Don’t listen to anyone who tells you to just put up with it. That’s defeatism. Go see a speech language pathologist. That’s literally their job and some are very good at it. riverpaint
+1 What does that even mean? Good stuff going on? Smoke Frog
+1 Again, depends on the fund. MMPM
+1 Read my post again please, I have answered it. The group tier list at TPG goes HC>Software>>>>>>>>>everyone else.  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 I probably had one of my best and worst call back-to-back. I first spoke to a VP for around 45 min, more than half of the call was us chatting about soccer. It went great and gave me a huge confidence boost. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 you have nothing to lose i guess. go for it.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Yes. It makes you wonder if it’s an eb if an analyst gots so much time to do that. She prob make more money be an escort or of model cuz most people are very horny  Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 This place is mostly two and out. However they do not tell you this until you have started full time. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 I am, and I also feel bad for those rich and privileged folks whose parents get them houses on campus. Utility and maintenance bills are no joke and imagine paying that on top of the astronomical tuition price. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 White woman, Native Americans and blacks didn't make any contribution to build US prior 1920s too. Why not to expel them too? You are gonna have nice white gay party der_held
+1 great read Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Can confirm had a similar experience networking with them ....weeee...weee
+1 would the two year one at LSE work? I know you can essentially do half of the programme as finance modules ? AgedStanza
+1 After you spend a few years in banking you realise prestige doesnt mean sh!t.  All that matters is (a) deal experience and (b) money that hits your account (c) (any semblence of) work life balance Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 How could you have discovered the feedback everyone gave you? Smoke Frog
+1 Private golf has gotten insane since COVID. It didn’t used to be this hard. larry david
+1 Non-target, no networking, 1 BB interview -> 1 offer -> return offer Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Someone needs to lead the way and bite. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 The people / culture at Cyprium seems really bizarre from what I’ve heard. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Easy tbh. At a non target and landed 3 coverage offers (all MM / low BB NYC. think WF RBC Nomura types) from cold apps alone, signed by January 2025. Just finished the summer and got the return. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Would think they fall into the fighting for scraps category. Haven't seen them on much as of late Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Roths former RX co-head Parkhill moved to gugg Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Who are you to police first names in an English-speaking country? investmenttbanking
+1 PEI more like 240+ in 2026 db_6
+1 Happens a lot in the business world. Mainly behind the scenes unless it goes into litigation.  State circuit court dockets are teaming with these cases. odog @digitalimmortality.com
+1 What’s M&A group DiscJockey
+1 It all depends on the key drivers that will move the stock. For different sub-sectors its all different. Art_Vandelay1
+1 is it possible to come back as a “summer VP” and rejoin as a VP after law school? 😂😂 after a JD you may not even be able to get back as a summer intern GS under Blankfein
+1 Simple Google search sir Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 congrats on "m&a group" Intern in IB-M&A
+1 I said this and was told that I wrote an "Remarkably misinformed response." Coincidentally, the person who told me I was remarkably misinformed did the following: Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Gotta disagree with a career in renewables unless you find single digit IRRs appealing.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Just to add to this, I’ve also noticed much lower quality work being pushed out by seniors. Some senior bankers I work with now will send a full AI deck or write up to a client. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Certainly more appealing than negative IRR's in Energy PE. I am not even trying to be snarky, it's just energy PE is a very unsustainable career by the very nature of the industry. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Pitching LPs on a $100m vehicle is tough, and finding true value in the lower middle market usually comes down to operational efficiency and digital transformation. Hanlon
+1 Do you think its worth  Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+1 Very, very difficult to get into a top 100 club post COVID with limited connections. Pre-COVID many of these clubs were begging for younger members. WSOBURNER69
+1 As an IB analyst with no PE experience… I think the answer is more of an Alex Hormozi style whereby M&A is an overlay. KKRKing
+1 Not personally attacking you, but I think “4x -5x” more is a complete joke. That thought process is asinine and rather textbook like; in the real world it never works like that. KKRKing
+1 Agree with this assessment, but really CONTI has very few properties left, last I checked it was less than five assets. Carlos was the face of CONTI but in reality he brought on a good team that knew what they were doing. Landman_Tex
+1 Mainly stuff like DTA/DTLs, leases, mental arithmetic, some basic probability questions, algorithmic time complexity (ie does this MnA model run in O(n)?), and my friends who were interested in TMT got asked basics about d Jeffery Montenbeauberg
+1 Can confirm homomorphic encryption is a topic you need to have mastered. Not good enough to memorize. And I am an EB (think GP Bullhound, Alkali Partners, UBS) so I know what I’m talking about. Intern in IB-M&A
