Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 I've thought about it, but the truth is we're such a small firm, everyone in the office, I'm on the road a lot trying to originate or visiting businesses, doing it all remotely would just not be feasible for me. horsewatermelonfruit
+1 Find them on IG, shows grit Grugru
+1 Are you prepared for east coast winters? What kind of role at M/C/P? assuming pod analyst: Pros (for moving): Grugru
+1 Yes, my guess is that these posts are all BS. Simply because logically reasoning tells me normal people don't spend this much of their time discussing a random bank. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 First get a rock and paint it black Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 Nigel is a rainmaker across wallstreet forget Evercore lol SolvencyGod
+1 Thank you for this comment. Just curious - why do you say that industrial might be able to generate enough NOI growth but not MF? altoidman
+1 Bluesniperrinvites for second round or just screenings invites for 2nd rounds came out too, they're going on right now Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 houlihan just acquired intrepid not piper Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I was also geeking about this (2026 SA) Legit no one cares. I was bugging for no reason. Write whatever u want. They aren’t taking ur offer Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 David is the best in town Associate Director in IB - Gen
+1 Incoming PWP 2027 summer intern here - how am I affected by this? Working in the NYC office and going for rx aaammmaaammm
+1 There is no rationale Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 PWP is not middle market Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 writing was on the wall, PWP has not been performing for years Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Bro, when you're mostly working on sub-1B deals you're MM. There is nothing "Elite" about their deal flow Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 basically anything not in a few markets or vintages is illiquid tinyrat
+1 Maybe a dumb question, but isn't everyone applying AI? Where is the differentiation between groups? TheOctagon
+1 I agree with the true basis reset. Not this extend and pretend been going on since 2022 TheOctagon
+1 Know both markets pretty well. Feel free to PM.  walking_downside_case
+1 That's something I'd ask the admissions folks directly. If you're a good test taker I'd do it just to see if you can get some scholarship money and a good score would look good on a resume Associate 2 in CorpStrat
+1 How would this affect RX. Piper Sandler has decently sized FI and DCM teams ? wuandale33
+1 Ok. But I prefer being nice in the DMs for future reference. I have a rep to keep out here. Smoke Frog
+1 Pulled multiple deals this week. Thanks Trump! IRR you ready to rumble
+1 not an expert here by any means but I'd think that making attractive returns as a developer will be hard leading to lower supply leading to higher rental growth down the line. Prospect in RE - Comm
+1 Hugh Samson yolobanker123
+1 AN1 was 40/50/60 for bottom/mid/top bucket respectively, which I think is Chicago street  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Thank you, tbh I highly doubt that a service line transfer would be on the cards before qualification - a three month secondment over the quieter periods maybe (although I haven’t heard of anyone doing either pre qual) reigns.bran_3h
+1 Nothing will happen in the immediate term. Incoming interns can relax. It took CS/UBS a while to integrate post-merger and need to imagine that while not nearly the same scale, this will take time too. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 PWP is all of 600 people. Maybe 650 since the UK acquisition this year.  Piper Sandler took less than 6 months to close from announcement, so I think there's a chance this could close by year end.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Deal closing is not equal to being integrated. There is tons of post-aquisition integration work that needs to happen before the companies are truly combined. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 Growth markets = No retrade (Currently: NYC, Bay Area, South FL) Everywhere else = Retrade Retired in PE - Other
+1 Agree with you on the integration. I'm sure there will be clients and deals that will require the process to be more delicate and I'm sure plenty of partners and other will be kicking and screaming.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 TRS has been running fine despite it so wouldn’t imagine it to fuck up anything if anything rx might get stronger bakeoffking
+1 Relax pal no one is saying they need to be hung tomorrow. I’m glad you agree they are  most likely  douchebags. I agree with your point that the original complaint didn’t allege rape. rocinante555
+1 I think youre talking abt JEF bakeoffking
+1 Believe the guy you are talking about is the new stifel CSA head, not part of PS Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Thanks bro, apply next cycle and dm me and I'll chat you Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I’m a big proponent of if a deal doesn’t work in my head and/or with some napkin math there is no amount of sophisticated financial modeling that is going to make it work.  Pokemon Master
+1 What is your gmat score I would recommend getting a MFE lol wuandale33
+1 I’ve never seen it happen. VP in IB-M&A
+1 You’ve got three options:  We see rent growth and it’s find. Rates come down  pudding
+1 Noted. Sleeping on it. Will update to “PWP (ex-Piper)” in the morning for clarity. bawstin
+1 PCA at some banks (esp top practices) is actually as sweaty if not more sweaty than M&A, so be careful - MM PCA could be better but it’s a lot of shit assets / zombie funds that EVR/PJT won’t touch Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Elite move to ask for pms while posting anonymously. Sbed CheetahsInCities
+1 Go for a major in a field that you’re interested and competent in. Meet your professors and other students, try to keep in touch where it makes sense. fiscality201
+1 Stern wins on paper: deeper OCR, NYC proximity, club pipeline straight into IB. But email 2-3 finance club presidents now and ask how transfers fare in sophomore recruiting. KnowUsBetter
+1 Relax Pal rooseveltfan
+1 To bounce off of this! I think it’s important for all of us to experience failure in our lives! The more we fail the more we learn! Without failure there is no knowledge or experience! joshuabest
+1 you never signed anything, backing out is fair game LowYield_Larry
+1 I cant afford a uk school its way out of my budget and I cant do the USA(personal preference), few of these schools would put me in a bit of debt(25-35k usd) so I want to pick the one with the best RoI, I plan on writing t rishitsclaude
+1 hi jens Analyst 3+ in ER
+1 There is no meaningful difference in UG prestige if you're at either university, having gone to oxbridge I can comment on how even different colleges hold differing levels of prestige. momonke
+1 If you read the Bbg article carefully rather than rush to post on WSO, you'll find the answer to most of your questions. It's literally 5 paragraphs. MMPM
+1 Writing off all the UBS posts about problems at UBS as just one upset analyst is fairly disingenuous  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 In the UK, we need to do this for all applications including summer internships The best resource is called job test prep senior_associate@goldman_stanley
+1 Bump OrangeBanker
+1 The Drexel Burnham energy of this deal is quite funny. jl12
+1 Would bet >90% of current or former analyst/asos are disgruntled  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Doesn’t mean anything Trey elliot cadih
+1 Does Barclays want him back tho Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 We done with the 90s Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks for the post. Do you run your strategy across many different cex/dex or just a few? Do you have a team of analysts/developers or is it run by yourself? How has your performance been since October 2025? cp5670
+1 Look on Trackr, took you to some slightly weird Spanish website but looks like it’s the official page Prospect in SnT - FI
+1 Even if you have signed, don't be scared to renege. Most understand you are looking to set yourself up the best for future success. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 You’re* the man. Hope you enjoyed typing that out. Edit: checked this guy’s post history and he’s been working in the industry since blackberries were a thing….Exhibit A tonysoprano-tone
+1 I get you. It’s def gonna get choppy out here IRR you ready to rumble
+1 You just have to remind yourself that everything you are doing now is to benefit your career in the future. Try to take care of your body and mind as best as you can. spudrmonke
+1 20-30% of the fee is market at boutiques that offer anything at all, 40 is top of range. LedgerShelf
+1 Reason for leaving is a mix - Do just geninuely want better work life balance after pulling 80 hours weeks consistently for three years. Mainly for health and to see my family as my folks get a bit older. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+1 Not to deliberately obfuscate from the discussion, but did you see the “Relax Pal” in the Wisconsin frat videos - these guys must have a lot of funny one-liners. crabostrich
+1 to compare with millennium id say it’s one level above (ie APM at cit = PM at mlp etc) and due to how siloed off mlp is a cit equivalent of SPM doesn’t really exist Intern in PropTrad
+1 Metaverse Hardo Intern
+1 I called those from my SA who i was close with and sent HR an email. Be careful to not let them know where you are going even if they ask (don't be rude / condescending, just give a non-answer) Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Are you regarded? It’s an unregulated advisory boutique, they have a few hundred people and functionally no balance sheet. Sign to close will be on the low end of low for a ~$1.3bn merger  VP in IB-M&A
+1 If it's cheap enough anyone can look like a genius. A good basis on good real estate will always work out over time unless you radically fuck it up.  jarstar1
+1 If you do a master in Europe, make sure it is a target one otherwise it is a waste of time and money. HEC, ESCP, Bocconi, LBS, LSE, Oxford, HSG Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Yea you'll be OK, you were smart enough to get in/survive Cornell which is def enough to get past the "check the box" on general intelligence Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Dreadful culture with quite a few toxic/arrogant characters at the principal level and above. Lots of rotation as people burn out Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 He said Cornell so he’s good. And he’s not aiming for mf not really worth any more discussions since everything else is cake walk  Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 She’s not blameless but it’s her word versus theirs in a post #metoo America wolfofwallstreetchestbeat
+1 IND still solid--roommate is current AN2 and everyone who decided to recruit for PE has either a MF or top UMM offer  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Well right now my real estate work is mostly asking if people have 650 credit scores and opening doors lol… vincentvalentine
+1 Latest flagship took more than two years, and missed target pretty badly but was covered well by press / media. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Just to play devil’s advocate Associate 2 in HF - Event

+1 wolfofwallstreetchestbeat: She’s not blameless but it’s her word versus theirs in a post #metoo America DinosaurRex7
+1 Are you saying that across the globe, the three most prestigious universities are Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge, in that order? Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+1 Which countries are these, or at least which regions are they located in? Intern in RE - Other

+1 I ranked IB 1st and got the hirevue  phyzixsss

+1 Special sits is a very broad umbrella term, so I'm not sure I follow why you see it as a more natural fit coming from RE Associate 2 in AM - FI
+1 I’d only do it as VP. Quite a compromised position going SA old firm -> VP new firm -> SA old firm. If they screw you then what? Nowhere to go. They know that. VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Ok but like are we going to lose the daily UBS update if they get taken out? Rabbit
+1 Zombie fund. No longer making new investments.  Senior VP in IB-M&A

+1 Yeah I mean if you don’t like the current gig you should be more willing to take a Sr Associate title but only on a clearly defined VP timeline. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
