+1 Arguably the best industrial investor in the US. Owned by Calpers obviously so not sure how that impacts comp, but they're highly respected by pretty much everyone in real estate TQQQ999999
+1 yes, but you do know about such book.... dangerous ideas... very machiavellian... had me look different at my frends ... makes me scared.... GS under Blankfein

+1 It’s your job to check it Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 I would suggest trying to get the full-time offer at the MM IB. Then attempting to re-recruit and getting a FT offer at a BB IB and trying to place into a Lev Fin or DCM group. arw444

+1 rooseveltfan, 188m, thereisnochoice, and sm17 are stern shills and are probably not four unique people. you see them in the same posts jerking off stern while bashing the same set of schools and straight larping. Associate 1 in PE - Other

+1 Anecdotally last two funds aren’t expected to do well and culture is highly political - would avoid Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+1 It’s not impossible but you’re probably better off just going to business school and recruiting from there. Amazon Prime

+1 Take accounting classes now. Then take WallStreetPrep financial modeling course. Then read Rosenbaum Investment Banking front to back 4 times. Intern in Consulting

+1 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 You want to blend in but your good work to stand out. Show initiative and interest, but don’t be overly eager and try to please everyone, it can come off as desperate. Bank Slut
