+6 Intern in IB - Gen
+6 Many top MBA programs heavily weigh your work experience. That is not to say they never accept students right out of college, but those are few and far between. RCJ92
+6 As greenblatt would say it’s picking up pennies in front of a bull dozer. Arb tourism is an easy way to get burned so if you are trying to pitch an event trade, prob not where I’d go. M_As_In_Mancy
+6 Get some offers first investor45
+6 It is objectively true that CVP does actually set up a lot more "check-ins" with their accounts between and beyond the times when a transaction is imminent. flipcup
+6 A convertible bond group in a BB bank is a great group where nobody from DCM can walk through the cost of capital math (incl. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+6 barnard is not a target lil bro chickennugget801
+6 Going to go against the grain here, but do you actually know what ECM does? Would strongly suggest you just ask the ecm juniors of the deal you’re working on what their day to day looks like.  Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+6 Meanwhile, my PE firm would have you get pulled into an office if you didn't use AI for IC memos. Firms that don't embrace some kind of on-prem AI solution is losing so much productivity.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+6 36, been on this platform for a while. wsa007
+6 What about a really cool guy from Illinois Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+6 Who got a guarantee when they lateral over to ubs Associate 2 in IB - Gen

+6 It’s crazy how it just keeps getting worse and worse  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 pulling back can mean diff things to diff people - if ur a banking analyst, it could mean taking another junior role to pivot into different geos, asset classes, divisions, career paths, etc. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+6 A lot of PE recruiting is group reputation-based. PEPrincess
+6 4 days a week is pretty good, so obviously sat and sunday, and that just leaves 2 out of 5 weekdays where you need to find time to go. Usually finish work at a reasonable time at least two days of the week.  Willerspillers
+6 Lol studying Modigliani and Miller for 3 extra years in a classroom in Bocconi is not a signal someone is brighter or more driven. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+6 I don't understand the people who overstate their GPA. It's like trying to negotiate lower rent. No incentive to make more money. lucien_de_montclair
+6 Interns were assigned to specific asset allocations, e.g. FraccDaddy
+6 For someone whose entire personality seems to be based on the fact that you did an unpleasant job for pay, which you seem to feel entitles you to feel morally superior to others, it's a little hypocritical to run around de Ozymandia
+6 I heard even Senior associates who came over with the Barclays bros got guarantees, there wasn’t a lot of bonus pool once the guarantees were all accounted for Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+6 Exactly this person is literally pretending to be an analyst to promote CIE this is ridiculous lol renegade1
+6 I’d put IU Kelly (IBW only) up there probably below Harvard, but def above oxbridge. curiousgeorgefloyd
+6 k.milly Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+6 Reasons people stay at UBS: Stockholm Syndrome Sunk Cost Fallacy OPT and H1B visa  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+6 I’d wait to raise it. If the conversation is heading down a path where it becomes clear that they are under the assumption that you still work at your old firm, you should step in and clarify. sleepygoat
+6 I heard they were budgeting the 150k H1b fee out of the bonus pool, kept the numbers paid out lower. Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+6 PIMCO is a great brand, but you’re right to be realistic about the role...it’s mostly operational and the internal mobility into true PM/analyst seats is far from guaranteed. virginiagoffredi
+6 UBS IB: “TRUST US WITH YOUR COMPANY.”Clients: “YOU’RE NOT EVEN TRUSTED WITH A BALANCE SHEET!”  Managing Director in IB - Gen
+6 UBS: “Our Capital Discipline is a strength” Wall Street: “That’s a creative way to say you can’t finance the deal” Prospect in IB - Gen
+6 I think the 1-2 week comp style can be done well. P72 runs their annual case comp which has pretty good pitches. I (tried to) compete in the perplexity comp and it was just run terrible. ILikeResearch
+6 Ambitious yes but not at all a good person. heard horrible things about him from multiple people there ben.thrasher
+6 I consider myself to be pretty health focused, but candidly I really struggled to maintain my health during my analyst / associate years. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Frankly, I'd be surprised if they gave you full-time work as an employee without a stipulated end date. FinnesseGod
+6 PGIM pays low for junior people but it’s the type of job that will lead to good things elsewhere. I would personally take it and lateral to a higher paying firm as soon as you can. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+6 Associate 2 in IB - CovI heard they were budgeting the 150k H1b fee out of the bonus pool, kept the numbers paid out lower. Intern in IB - Gen

+6 Congrats on Promontory Intern in Consulting
+6 Terrible place ran by terrible people Prospect in IB - Cov
+6 I think it would make sense for you to apply to corporate finance roles at Norton. If you haven’t looked into this yet, I would get on it ASAP Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+6 Heard pay is above average. Return offers were solid. Seems like an underrated NYC bank vs many of their peers of similar size. Business School in CorpStrat
+6 gugg had a breakout 23-4 in terms of mandates, rite aid/lumen/first republic/svb/MLB and multiple (other) bn+ dollar debtor sides. Incoming Analyst in IB - Restr
+6 Intern in PE - LBOs
+6 Lol i feel you too well, ASEANalyst
+6 Makes no sense to apply 2 years in as a 24-25 year old.   oil_quant
+6 Hey man, in no way shape or form am I saying this is your fault, life just isnt that straightforward.  Deal Team Six
+6 how the fuck did someone as creative as you end up in banking Intern in IB-M&A
+6 Thank you for your service  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+6 You’re right; Mike’s way is the only way. There’s no doubt you get a Blackstone internship so wouldn’t worry too much about anything else Prospect in IB - Gen
+6 It just continues to be a brutally competitive space, like everything else nowadays, with the margins between providers becoming thinner every year - literally and figuratively, as fee compression is no joke. Addinator

+6 is it just me that thinks Perplexity set these kids up to fail? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+6 Long enough to cover everything, short enough to keep it interesting. Probably don’t send a 20 page report. If you can get everything important across in 1 page, amazing, but you probably can’t. hfanalyst__
+6 Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I could just tell my tail chasing 15 year old self to LOCK TF IN Ozymandia
+6 The kids were retarded (no offense to them, great practice to put yourselves out there and take the rep) but I feel like most the blame has to go to perplexity here? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 As dumb as these threads by the same disgruntled aso/analyst are, if you’re an intern, would strongly recommend starting your career literally anywhere else - do not accept the return offer  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+6 Escp MiM by a big margin. They place really well in London, especially italians who go there, which gives a strong network to target. Plus you get the UK graduate visa for off cycles.  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+6 At first glance, they do appear to be an added fee layer but do make sense for the right group of LPs.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+6 Caveat that I haven't made MD yet, so don't have the full perspective. But I feel reasonably well positioned to make MD at a BB in the next 1-2 years Director in IB - Cov
+6 Sales side? I’d major in bag and lax and you’ll be MS/GS/JPM SA 2029 fTheVix
+6 It doesn't matter. Go to Harvard. Go to Indiana. Fake your degree like Mike Ross. Everyone who's done it knows at the end of the day: investment banking fucking sucks.  yopierre
+6 Amazon delivery drivers are highly efficient, so they pee in bottles. It’s not dystopian labor abuse—it’s a logistics-optimized hydration workaround.   Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 Hi I'm about your level. Maybe slightly more principal-ish. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+6 Prestige has destroyed minds. Lack of appreciation, they all want the next best thing. CEO in IB - Gen
+6 NGL - this is pretty damn good work but it’s completely off base in the recommendations because it doesn’t understand a) the specific weaknesses in NFE’s various contractual arrangements and b) how Wes Edens actually think Managing Director in IB-M&A
+6 “Give me your alpha because I don’t have any of my own and I’m obviously seething with jealousy that other people are capable enough to do well in this industry” Works at Citadel Investment Group
+6 see the post in the other thread by an analyst blaming his manager for not spotting his modeling errors and you have one lens of the answer. do not equate quantity of applicants with quality. brosephstalin
+6 Been the same for at least 4 years I’ve been there, no Cola Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+6 Most likely answer is probably $0. I believe any given year about 50%+ of MDs are non-net revenue generators, but all are “really close” to a couple $10bn sell sides... Or at least that’s the story Marco hears Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+6 Watching that was painful. The discomfort from the judges was palpable.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+6 Update here for folks looking for comparable data points. Developer in RE - Comm
+6 I know what you mean, I am 5 years in to a PM role (in Fixed Income) and do feel the same in some ways. I guess my reflections are that this isn't AM specific. batrickpatemans
+6 Found his managing partner Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+6 Is the strong pedigree also from an LO style HF? Benson Says
+6 Ok, I have very strong thoughts on this. The single most important thing is, figure out what the rate limiting step is to the firm making money, and do that. Aine
+6 AS2 $0 Bottom Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+6 The massive MD in M&T is gonna spend his whole salary on bathroom usage. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 I've found that people from elite schools in general going to finance/law/med, can be transactional and aloof, it's just part of an unhealthy mentality not exclusive to Wharton or finance.  wsomonkey.25
+6 Very important. Do it right and it gives you two things: 1) it keeps you in the loop regarding opportunities and 2) it helps you stand out. Associate 1 in Consulting
+6 To your first paragraph, that's largely why many multis force you to increase risk or lose capital + why hiring is so consistently aggressive. PM in HF - Macro
+6 Delete the last line but looks good. I wouldn't go into the specifics of CDD / industry unless you can truly verify that on their LinkedIn.  Business School in CorpStrat
+6 Truist Atlanta HQ. No free food, have to pay for parking, 5 days a week in person. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Another bad take by the grinch of WallStreetOasis. foxtrot_1
+6 The kiss of death was merging with Credit Suisse while letting a bunch of clueless ex-Barclays bros believe they had all the answers. That level of hubris sealed the firm’s fate. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+6 Just tell them it was a first draft to understand the limitations of your internal ai can do. Larry Lamda
+6 Here's my opinion. I work at an endowment/foundation, so my perspective will vary from an investment professional.  Associate 1 in AM - Other
