+1 Did you at least tell them you won’t be able to make it before the time of the chat? Intern in IB - Gen
+1 I think it comes down to the fact you realize despite all your stress and work and chasing of prestige you will not have a yacht or Bugatti or penthouse in your 20s or 30s. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Where did you get these stats from? There’s a mountain of bullshit online and this strikes me as a part of the pile. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Reality of the situation is there will always be someone “better” than you. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 In the end all EBs are either getting doom posted to shit or glazed above what they're worth. Truth is always somewhere in between, and PWP is still far from dead  Intern in IB-M&A

+1 HL monkeylovesbanking222555
+1 both are dead. hours around 6:45 - 5:15. For linear you trade a specific part of the curve and try to find RV trades. Swaps trading the spread. exits for both are anything in macro hedge fund. no_home_jerome

+1 to answer your question that guy is a grifter. Ignore him. He’s just trying to fear monger so you buy is mentorship. I mean this in the nicest way possible but the dude went to UTD. CuriousGeorge1024
+1 retarded take. 'implies the need to fit in' is limited entirely to people from non nepo/non ivy league backgrounds that work in sales. bonjourtovorisch
+1 Highly suggest staying away from this firm. The MP is shady. There are many other better firms to pursue. Don’t waste your time with them.   VP in PE - Other
+1 At DB, HC has been noted to be very sweaty but also does not close deals, Numis teams as well are noted to be avoided as they are not fully integrated with the DB EMEA platform and have a discount of prestige. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Might be an issue - what did the bank say after you said it was an unpaid internship? Usually you still need to provide proof - Why can't the person provide reference you worked there? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 This job is ok if they have relationships with GPs but not as useful if they just read memos and allocate them  newkid2019
+1 probably an offer  Works at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
+1 Could be either honestly. After a final round a call is standard practice either way WSoMonkey93
+1 Not an issue. Say it wasn’t a formal employment. HireRight will simply add this to the logs they give the firm. There is absolutely no issue here. WSoMonkey93
+1 3 years at UBS, no closed sell sides  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Same here IB wrecked my sleep. I left it and that's what fixed it lol. The truth is you've wired your body to be reactive and stressed at night because of late night comments and work for years. Ladd
+1 I've heard mixed opinions. Some say unpaid work shouldn't be included as employment if it wasn't formal. Alvian
+1 Congrats on JPM Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Nope they are nationally and have multiple offices. At an analyst / associate level, it doesn’t matter as you are not an originator. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 LOL, Analyst quality is down to the individual. Anyone clever at both shops can break into what so ever  davani1420
+1 All good. We assume you guys are awkward retards anyways. Won’t be a major factor in your RO decision. Def don’t change who you are to fit in.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 steroidmonkey IsItREPE
+1 Maybe explain to the founder that your job offer is going to get rescinded if he doesn't provide a reference which he agreed to do Intern in IB - DCM
+1 word dddank
+1 I wouldn't say it's super common but it certainly isn't out of the ordinary. Honestly, fair enough as long as you have a clearly defined trajectory. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Good answer. To add on the practical modelling side, try building a DSCR-based debt sizing model with sculpted repayments from scratch. infravc
+1 Where is this job security you guys talk about in IB? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 You’re only real exit is going to be macro funds/pods, and really only going to be at the Director to PM level where that becomes attractive. Analyst 2 in S&T - FI
+1 This is so g4y VP in RE - Comm
+1 if you take a closer look at the comment i replied to he was referring to finance as a whole. the reading comprehension with people on this site ffs bonjourtovorisch

+1 Sex is precisely what occupies OP VP from 12am to 2am dawg. Bad advice. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 MOE here WFH policy: group-dependent. My group is Friday WFH / people just WFH even on random weekdays, but other groups are at the office by 10AM Mon-Fri Meal and uber: $35 after 6PM. Ubers after 9PM Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 GS? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 god bless you man. it’s a marathon not a sprint Prospect in PE - LBOs

+1 SRCC in India youngbanga
+1 Friend told me two interns had sex in the MD’s office. CIBC. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Neither this nor the asset management one will hurt but also won’t help much either. Your final internship with full time placement potential will matter a lot more  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Never heard of a Mckinsey person on secondment? lol. also the whole networking onto cases is dependent on how you spin it. your staffer does not gaf about you they have so many others. Analyst 1 in Consulting
+1 Don’t think it makes sense that u are dying for a return offer when u cant even get along with the team. Whole point of going back somewhere is because you genuinely enjoyed the job. mergers and accusations
+1 Dude I know people who got rejected from an office and then reinterviewed at the same office in a different cycle and got the job. I don’t think anyone really cares Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Friends don’t let friends work at UBS Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 UBS behind almost all shops for most categories juniors would care about Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 With all the underperformance you don’t want to be at UBS right now. Managing Director in IB - Gen
+1 In Europe, GS, JPM and MS are a safe bet among BBs - with MS lagging behind the other two in DCs but are probably stronger in fiber. Managing Director in IB - Cov
+1 Curious where you saw that as I feel wso actually goes the other direction and overblows the intellectual stimulation/big brain work needed in rx. I think it is more interesting than doing PEPI long term though. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 I mean if you search up virtually any post about RX on this forum you'll be bound to see atleast a couple of comments talking about how it's the most mind numbing, legalese work you'll ever do, and that it attracts a very Analyst 1 in Private Credit
+1 Site has gotten pretty boring with the same spam being recycled LeveragedBuoy
+1 Need someone in the space to provide some depth.  infravc

+1 HL every time chimpychimper
+1 UBS intern here, don’t know about GIG and FSG but LF can confirm. Apparently they got staffed really hard and have homework due tomorrow Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Not sure bout London grad programs but in the u.s, analyst programs are typically “up or out” in nature. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Very helpful! What do you mean by 'training' here? Is it about sharpening your judgement on when to buy/sell a stock? bty
+1 Thanks this is very interesting as someone new to the HF world. What would you say is the next 'investing style' that is generating consistent returns for LPs like pods have been doing?  bty
+1 not sure about Citi, but man Leerink had an amazing week, they not only did the GSK/Nuvalent deal, the largest M&A deal in 2026, but they also were the lead-left bookrunner on the Parabilis IPO, the largest biopharma I The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
+1 There’s a women in finance group called “Synergist” that you can join.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Feedback is rarely objective. Even when it feels unfair it can be useful to dig deeper and understand the specifics behind it. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 I understand GS has cracked down a lot on PE recruiting and many funds are hesitant to interview GS analysts out of fear of damaging the relationship. gru_from_despicable_me
+1 magnesium financialrepublic
+1 why wont the founder just confirm you did free work for him???? financialrepublic
+1 I used to do this when I was a broke student and often sipped on coffee until I had my meal around 5-6pm. Big downside is the ketosis during the day can give you bad breath. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Id suggest Judaism or Mormonism.  Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Appreciate it. I was more so focused on if I am 'navigating" this new WLB correctly. I constantly ask my boss and team what more I can do or what else I can take off their plates but its always nothing. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Weakest Industrials team out of the big 3 and they are huge I think nearly 50 ppl - leads to a lot of internal politics, cliques within subverticals forming etc. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I recently moved from ER to a startup and yea its incredibly different than working in research (even more so for you). spudrmonke
+1 Unironically the play is to run up a bunch of 100 hr weeks as an intern, get that sweet overtime $, get the return offer - then go somewhere else lmfao  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 In my experience asking you get vague guidance that can always claimed to not have been followed… Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 You cannot take reviews of Rx IB and apply them to Rx Consulting, and vice versa. You should spend some more time looking at the numerous threads on here that are specific to Rx Consulting (there are a lot). RCJ92
+1 Hey retard, if he did not mention why take it for implicit. Ask him instead #idiot boib_1
+1 This did work for me but I was actually ready to take the other offer and was on track for the promotion anyways (basically just sped it up / made it a certainty). Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Before CS acquisition, UBS Aso/An culture was top tier with great camaraderie. Now it’s way more cutthroat / backstabby / weird.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Not sure about the whole bank but UBS tech and FIG definitely overhired analysts last year  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, your concerns about lacrosse or rowing being the "missing piece" for success with women or social dominance might be misplaced. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Start recruiting KageSelly
+1 “Choice in health care” is dripping in irony here. IRR you ready to rumble
+1 How cooked are Permira growth / Permira tech vs avg tech fund? Prospect in PE - LBOs
+1 Permira growth is dead, permira buyout will live on. In terms of who is doing better Francisco Partners, TB, Silver Lake (barely). Vista is doing worse and Vitruvian in Europe is worse. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Had this issue before with a Spring Week… just call their number and explain the issue and if possible add some form of email where your offer for the internship was in MaggiesAso
+1 Here are a couple that you might run into  Determined
+1 WSO Monkey says a post-final call could go either way - You say no, when I last got rejected by them it was via email - You have answered your own question..? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 I don’t really understand why Laz gets so much shit, even in the US. Analyst class is half the size of EVR yet they’re consistently top 3 EB M&A advisors (YTD so far #1) both in US and Global league tables. gru_from_despicable_me
+1 WB is not much better lol. Interned in one their top groups (tech, hc, etc.) and fucking hated the people Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Send it, yolo Amazon Prime
+1 Very similar story - love my dad but don't want to be in business with him. Much easier to maintain that relationship outside of doing business together at least for me.. ymmv. kuf135
+1 I would push to fall 28 if you want to target the funds you listed. Believe some have already wrapped up S27 recruiting or will wrap up this fall at the latest. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
