+1 just model whatever management spoons feeds us.  Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 Is your current company a "huge name" in development? I'd imagine firm size discrepancies being a bigger factor in W2 pay than some broader Development vs. REPE trends.  CRE

+1 Thank you for the advice. How does one move from a PGIM to a bigger fund that is less core focused and more opportunistic and higher pay ceiling (Brookfield, Starwood, Carlyle etc.)? Tigernation8694

+1 Have worked at a couple of the large cap infra funds, would probably say run-rate 70 hours when not cranking on a deal but when we are (and that is often) probably closer to high-80s+ for fairly significant stretches of ti Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 I’m with you on keeping coffee separate from dip. Once the flavors start mixing, it can be hard to tell whether you’re actually tasting the coffee or just getting the aftertaste from everything else. daltonreece
+1 Do you have data to prove that H1B is taking less jobs than AI? NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Hey thanks for your input. I believe the idea of “fraud” has quite frankly been overplayed. Erxctasy
+1 Texas A&M, Florida, Indiana, some of those bigger state schools are actually decent and have a big alumni base. Utilize the finance clubs. The 1600 will really help bridge the GPA gap. kiltedlowlander
+1 This is really weird, dude. What happened to you? IsItREPE
+1 was making $285k as IB associate 1 and my exit all in first year was $310k. got lucky. had to search for a while and came across so many 120-160k all in. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 It ranged, the lower end was all associate / senior associate. However, still some manager positions paying like $180k all in. Yes, you are right. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Not had to deal with it personally but two things spring to mind, firstly, don’t lie or try to misrepresent/inflate - there was a thread a few weeks/months back and it never ends well. ACATS
+1 Can’t speak for Bain but at BCG we lowered the hiring bar some ~1-3 years ago (your hiring range) to keep up with the AI/tech strategy staffing demand and to be frank, they’re duds. 99thcoffeechat
+1 hated being a public equities investor (at a LO)... interviewed at the pods and knew i'd hate it too... actually ended up in fundraising given i much rather be in a client facing role/am quite sociable Works at JPMorgan
+1 recruiting slowed down a lot since AI became mainstream. our team used to hire like 50-70 juniors per year. now it's like 7-10 juniors. Kevin25
+1 party like it's 2007 goodL1fe
+1 Kevin25nah, there are plenty of US citizens / permanent residents, i.e. non H1-Bs, who have accents, so you could mistake them for H1Bs. Sup_Bro23

+1 Every defeat until death is psychological  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I know I have friends recruiting right now. I am an2 and can see how rigged the system is. Among the 20 CVs pre-selected by HR I receive, half of them I wonder how tf it passed the screening. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I am sympathetic to your arguments but this is the classic trope argument of, "we need immigrants so we can have better food". readthe10k

+1 recoveringalcFor UC or the common equity? BREIT is seeing inflows again and has not moved paper marks materially worse than industry Rick Kane
+1 Thankfully even under a Dem regime, we will likely not return back to the era of wholesale mass immigration that we had in the 2010s for white collar work, or even blue collar. The Penguin

+1 same concern as yours. but also was a strong enough platform where I wanted to be in the future  Intern in IB - Cov

+1 No worries. I got most offer calls before 8pm if I recall correctly following the interview in the afternoon.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 You really finna turn it down Intern in PE - Other
+1 Can confirm. CB is getting a lot of resources put towards it at Truist while they ignore other teams (One team was less than 20k I believe). Would expect over time CB bonus to move towards 30%. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 I mean you can't just show up to some random bar and expect to meet people nowadays. Bars flooded by Gen Z tiktok generation people are absolutely the worst places to be. pbandjpartners
+1 Is pissing while running common for marathon runners? Isn't there some point where you wouldn't need to piss at all due to using or sweating out any water you take in? Raijin

+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some key considerations and advice for your situation: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Echoing Privatetechquity, that perfect SAT as a black applicant is very, very helpful. There is bound to be one Ivy/top target that will let you in off that alone. PaulAllenIsInLondon
+1 My main callout would be to know what you're getting into w/ FP&A vs. strat fin. And do a lot of diligence on the team, is it led by former accountants, or former bankers / PE people. NuclearPenguins
+1 many just wake up 4:30-5am, get in office by 6am to discuss w/ team before the open. know some who work remote the first few hours and get into office around 7 or 8am after the open too. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge

+1 Cg for sure. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 IB/PE/Big 4? Only prestigious one on the list is Big 4, anyone not pursuing a CPA is just larping as a finance expert. crazylifechoices
+1 No, but something else cool will come up in its place. Real estate is like the third oldest industry after prostitution and war. CRE
+1 The workshop pays for itself, taking the full-ride would be a mistake here anotherbananamonkey
