+1 bump applejuice

+1 Yeah, there are definitely firms doing this. dean787
+1 Acc -> FDD/Vals 1 Year -> IB this has been covered. I feel that with your 2yr tenure u could lowkey just tell ur MD provided he's chill that you're interested in moving across the firm. Gold-ManSacks
+1 PTSD-inducing accuracy for life on the buyside.... onceismorethanenough
+1 See a deal then I flip a coin bigbob123

+1 The choice is 'look at interest rates, decide to take no risk, do nothing, be out of work' or 'look at interest rates, decide to do something, even if requires real risk-taking, put out fires for years, keep head above wat asmith_1
+1 You should honestly try to get any job you can. I don't know why you are still working for your current shop if what you said is accurate. I would insta-quit if I were you. larry david

+1 Sorry for interrupting this conversation, but, I have 2 questions: Sasoskii
+1 RSM IBA is great. Cheap and very international. You can go there get good grades and then apply to top UK masters. That way you have best of both worlds! boib_1
+1 Thanks for your answer and for the respect! I have two little questions: - How to get relevant internships and what type of internships do a RSM IBA student get normally? Sasoskii
+1 Barriers to entry starting a business / everyone and their mother trying to be an entrepreneur, hopefully the future produces more opportunity for M&A and restructuring deals. caustic freebase
+1 Just saying “I need a 20% raise or I tell the whole firm what you did” and leaving the room before your boss can respond works for me every time. crazylifechoices
+1 i'd try to figure out what your 100% bonus is. I'd assume 15-20% range of base rn. I'd try to get a 10% bump and gross up your base.  MallRedevs
+1 I don't think anyone gets into re finance because its complexity or how stimulating it is. you can do like 80% the work on the windows calculator app tinyrat
+1 Yes it is good enough boib_1
+1 last week t_lbo
+1 How long did they take to let you know about the AC and how long to prep? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Nice flex Connor_Roy18947
+1 I personally would go with 4 assuming the capital is largely secured Connor_Roy18947

+1 1.) Salaries won't increase again soon (there is no reason banks would need to do this now vs in the past they were raising to stay inline with PE salaries at the associate level) Associate 1 in IB-M&A

+1 You think Dr Rahmadikinurass is a real Indian name? Did you try saying it out loud?  TopBoy.-

+1 No such thing as a free lunch. Most of the seniors are not homegrown and likely started at a larger franchise (BB/EB) before settling down. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 That was my experience. Did you re-recruit? I decided not to because I didn’t think I could get a better spot wlb-wise. Definitely leaving opportunities on the table but I plan to lateral as an analyst or associate Intern in IB - CB
+1 Sure, but I think that's kind of intellectually dishonest. No one from qfs/iag doesn't end up with a decent-at-worst (UMM) banking job if that's what they want. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Pretty unreal gig as someone who was at a firm / group like that for several years before moving to an EB. klaus von stroke
