+1 They are a combination of a commercial bank with special situations. mkaypowlo
+1 TMT went from best to worst VP in IB - Cov
+1 I'm complaining about nepotism (with a hint of jealously) of how a 26 year old syndicated over 50 million in LIHTC credits. Ozymandia
+1 These are notorious for paying top of street within LO at least, I don't think after 15-20yrs at Welly that 2-2.5ml is an outlier outcome at all as an analyst  The Penguin
+1 This is an absolutely delusional, beyond brain dead take. loud_bathroom
+1 SVB poached the UBS tech team which set them back  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 150k Base + 50-80% bonus target for both Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 land of free home of brave lol zuriwasser
+1 I think so too. If your uni is even on this list then that is great. I was ranking the tiers within the world’s most prestigious unis based on their prestige, fame, pedigree, history, and quality. Prospect in Non-profit
+1 5 years later I’m at my dream firm (not nomura but close) and couldn’t agree more. This aged like fine wine thank you bigdicky

+1 PWP pays more than any boutique besides Centerview I don’t give a fuck if “revenue is down this quarter bro” dumb intern 💀 Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Just to add to the confusion more, its also worth mentioning that even mutual funds have changed a lot and there are plenty of examples of mutual funds (and UCITS) engaging in long / short credit, trading CDS, invest in di Principal in HF - Event
+1 Point number 3 is straight cap banker_343434
+1 i got into value investors club as a VP in banking and that helped when I thought about going this route Director in IB - Gen
+1 Set them back at least 10 years Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+1 If it's RBC I think you should take JPM. Based on your post history the coverage group is FIG. JPM Small-cap does $100-500mn in EV; at WF or JEFF FIG you should have stronger deals than this. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 H1Bs abusing other H1Bs, you really hate to see it… Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 No one cares..  Sfosn
+1 100 years  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 BofA (Palo Alto): TMT - 100% (Analysts), 80% (Associates)M&A - 100% (Analysts), 0% (Associates) Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Harvard & Oxford are the most well known names right now. Stanford (maybe MIT as well) will dominate the future. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 Awful awful place to work if there is no deal flow and it’s still a sweatshop Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 UCTreeHuggerreadthe10k readthe10k

+1 UBS FIG is paradise  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 That makes sense, and thank you for the response.  Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 Bump investmenttbanking
+1 Hopefully, but I swear the cohort sizes (atleast for trading) is like sub 40 out of 1000? Lets pray but I think none of us getting it isnt too unbelievable.  RQ
+1 Have you always been interested in energy or power? Is it an interest you developed later or maybe even during the job? Intern in IB-M&A
+1 .. benjvh
+1 So PWP’s CEO had meetings with the heads of top funds to figure out why PWP wasn’t on high profile deals with them Intern in PE - Growth
+1 It really is all about leverage.  Unfortunately, I don't think you have as much leverage as you think.  People negotiate guarantees when being poached away i.e. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Enterprise software baby! Rabbit
+1 Got it. I mean if you want a random hobby then sure man do it but if ur trying to make money or go anywhere with it absolutely no shot. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+1 I personally wouldn’t. I’d tell them what to expect and give a general idea on how to build the model but would not send over the materials. People need to earn their spots. Associate 3 in IB - CB
+1 International Business Machines CRE
+1 If you send him your model, there is 0 upside for you. The potential is he uses it to learn from or plagiarizes your work. Worst case, you damage your reputation. readthe10k
+1 There’s likely 2nd and 3rd generation Nepo babies working at UBS who’s parents or grandparents were at UBS helping nazis Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 What'd you end up doing after IR? I'm in a sales seat but moved from the investment team. I work as both a RM and sales person in my currently role. Works at JPMorgan
+1 now we know why....14 years later someguy891901
+1 Most privates don’t differentiate new sales vs. RM/upselling. Curious your shop does. If anything everyone should act as an RM so the LPs relationship is firm vs. person centric. ravena
+1 why is AAPL the default company almost all students / interns choose for any valuation project liquidiot
+1 Hey man, really appreciate the response . DubU20
+1 You might just be someone who needs a consequence laddled lifestyle.  Plenty of Diplomats/Spec-Ops/Intelligence officers feel the same way. marlin_pardon2
+1 Yes, I've observed everything you just described. Especially the meetings with the LP comment.  Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 If generalist then likely AM / insurance case study Green Zeus
+1 Good move. FIG is paradise! figenjoyer
+1 wtf do u mean only $2B heize
+1 I think they'd just ghost honestly. I think it's more likely for them to send a rejection before the hirevue stage. iuc
+1 at my MM infra fund hours typically range Mon-Thurs 9am- 9pm/10pm for "non-busy" periods, sometimes earlier sometimes later. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs

+1 Holy they’re interviewing so many ppl urface21
+1 Many transaction in excess of this are run by one adviser. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Excellent commentary from ravena and I'd encourage anyone looking into IR to take a good read at these.  IRR-Responsible IR
+1 Not too late at all.  Has been done before, can be done again.  Have seen both ways (direct or through MBA).  Direct - you're better off focused on credit HF. LongRoad2HF
+1 don’t worry everything will be alright and work out🤞🤞 lekdodo
+1 Helpful cheers. Seems relationship/advice based & rather than actually having a whole extra team onboard it's j extra advice. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Okay. Adding some other ideas here on how it seems to actually work out 168 hours in a week. 110 working leaves like 50 hours left or 7 hours per day  Hags28
+1 In this case though, the problem with Religion is that an all loving God wouldn't want someone to only get 5 hours sleep a night investmenttbanking
+1 hey can't dm, can you share? thx goldman_monkey1
+1 Now do Jefferies  myx8192
+1 Seconding p_remarks and blondesnmoney. Also great non-anon accounts are Gavin Baker, Kevin Mak, Gregory Blotnick itsaburner
+1 Anyone under 30 saying it fi-nance should reevaluate their career Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Yes, you need to be networking to make a jump. You should also be taking those recruiter calls so you get into their Rolodex for once jobs you want come up.  CRE Credit
+1 That's what I'm thinking as well - feel like Private Credit (although not Private Equity) has more transferable underwriting / investing skills. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 Agreed. That would've never happened in Texas. The mounted police would've lassoed both knives out of her hands then hog tied her in 10 seconds flat. readthe10k
+1 Prioritize python dude Intern in IB - Gen
+1 anyone hear back from a superday here recently 🤣 [email protected]
+1 As a MF VP in Hong Kong, we rank the target unversities as: Tier1: HYPSM + Oxbridge Tier2: Other ivies + t10 + LSE SO2628
+1 It’s okay man. I’m in the same boat, I barely know how to model/use excel while being in a modeling intensive group and my PPT slides are constantly being torn to shreds. yieldoncost
+1 I think about the kids who wasted their life in high school just for their summer analyst colleagues to not even know what IB was until their sophomore fall and got to actually live a life. Gold-ManSacks
+1 niche strategy under rates/fx Research Analyst in HF - RelVal
+1 I would Choose PC, much better & broader development as an investor, can exit to HF or go on to do cross cap structure stuff if you wish. GordonDebtCo
+1 Everything about this is so low effort. The post, the choice of company, the report. Do you know how many kids post their DCF valuation + AI summarised report of AAPL and NFLIX every day? Roy Ike
+1 This is a level of petty that a lowkey respect Generic Banker
+1 consultingib123 mergersandacquisitions78
+1 Comment from m_1 below is spot-on. TB & Vista overpaid for a ton of shit in 2021, but I’m quite confident they’ll find their footing with the new SaaSverse in the AI world (if they don’t, don’t know who will)  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Would keep your growth equity and broader VC/PE network warm the entire time rather than reconnecting only when you're ready to leave vcp5
+1 Some tasty m dashes investmenttbanking
+1 Ignore my title. I am fairly senior at this point and have come across fair share of biased people. Among them, racist pro max were older European guys ie German, Scandinavian. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Don’t discount the Darden / Fuqua / NYU band. If you’re normal / competent you should have absolutely no issue landing a BB banking job. Plenty of top BB and EB placements from those schools as well. VP in RE - Other
+1 What about SpecFin and AM Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Sounds a lot like UBS. They outsourced all their IT to India and now nothing works.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Probably Infra from a coverage perspective Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I solo travelled for about 3 months as well, and went to a few off beat locations, so feel free to message privately if you'd like. Daemon145
+1 pretty sure tortas are the reason to do Houston  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Ones listed above + RX probably Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 Hags28 Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 No problem. The founder decided to downsize as he was nearing retirement age and also was well positioned (big carry pool) after the 15x MOIC investment that I mentioned.  Dan_
+1 JPM / GS / MS and good industry group. Non target undergrad though.  lbarry
