+1 working 16 hours on a holiday to own the libs... congrats wso Intern in Consulting

+1 Bumping this thread. How has the market been over the past year for OP or anyone else who wants to chime in?  Still steady, or had to pivot on some deals or transaction structure?    WHDC2007
+1 Intern in IB- Mergers and Acquisitions
+1 Somehow, the bathrooms I've seen at investment banks have been dirtier than factories with way more employees per bathroom lol m_1
+1 Don’t do FIG. You’re welcome. KageSelly
+1 probably got sent to the gulag based on creditor/debtor words Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 How does carry work, how much can one realistically get each year in realization? Babine
+1 Don't do FIG unless you want to get 0 bitches Partner in IB - Gen
+1 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀 Pokemon Master
+1 Not having to do the things I don't want to do so I can spend more time doing the things that I love. There's nothing better in my opinion.  Arnie S
+1 Not really if you’re good and hungry and do as well as someone else. But points against you if you gotta leave early to take care of your kids or whatever and are less “on” or available. sick_willy
+1 Wow this is criminal. $85k base with a 14% target for a 3rd year analyst? I know it’s dependent on LOB, but damn. Is it at least in a LCOL or MCOL area, or is comp even across geographical region? Hunky Monkey
+1 Can I DM you? chimpachimpachimp
+1 na i heard some other folks got 1st rounds though Analyst 1 in AM - FI
+1 Bull market from March 2009 till early 2020.. some 11 years incl. QE / free money.. then covid madness with stimulus and other catalysts subject to sector (2y), then another bull market from October 22 till .. what.. Director in IB - Cov
+1 played around with Claude (chat, not an excel plug-in) to calculate the unit economics of a very famous private company, using quite detailed instructions. sanjagolovko
+1 What do you think about someone trying to get back into the hedge fund manager space after doing that for a year out of undergrad at a large name, then doing equity research for two years after that? spudrmonke
+1 Agree and no idea why there’s so many negative posts about it - great legacy rep too  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Truly over for the 4 cap-cels larry david
+1 ha I did this with one guy and he was pissed but that many is crazy nontargetbrah
+1 TAS for sure. Even if you wanna do MBA, TAS still positions you well for future associate recruiting. TBF, back office people at my bank get zero respect and also might be replaced by AI in future. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I would hope that your not throwing up or falling asleep after 11 beers. You don’t necessarily need to drink but what people are antidotally saying is that you should get some cool experiences you can talk about. brownshoes
+1 chimpychimperUnironically excel might have a bigger impact on my life Ah so you’re racist. Congrats on HL - great bank lol bluebottlesipper
+1 AN 2 at BB here (before I get a “congrats on” comment) rolo25
+1 Outside of PJT RSSG, I think most of the JPM groups are better, but they're definitely comparable Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 This needs to get moved back to the RE forum not PE Intern in RE - Other
+1 Definitely worth it if you are commited, just keep it lowkey and don't tell your peers. Not uncommon for UMM, MF, or top IB groups to take FT recruits - especially from and EB. nefynance
+1 you dont need to do a full 3 statement model but if you have the time might as well. rel val would be nice, but if you dont have access to bloomberg i dont think youd be expected to have that. ibmayb
+1 With Insead (or any top US M7 school FT MBA program), you will get interviews given your background. In this market, you will need relevant pre MBA experience - which obviously you have. cabser
+1 Focus on MBA program - more structured recruiting, broader network, and more prestigious degree. You already have a CFA and good work experience.  cabser
+1 Hi friends what is investment banking? TC? Culture? Exits? Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I'd lean USBC, they have much more balance sheet and they are trying to grow the S&T side.  Some solid people working there who have moved over from bigger firms. Director in S&T - FI
+1 It's a bit crazy to equate 150M liquid (extra cash) to 200k+ annual base. Prospect in Research - FI
+1 . monkeydonkeys
+1 Isn't it pretty normal to be kept on as an acquired hire? nonu-r
+1 Search fund will not be what you are looking for and is a waste of time for the most part. JJPPMM
+1 PJT RSSG sure – but focusing on traditional banking, what you said is not accurate.  Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 They are not an SM, they are esentially a pod (why they're shutting down). Then you include Jain in there among a bunch of SMs.. MMPM
+1 Harvard = OxfordCambridge = Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT Intern in IB - Restr
+1 Go talk to some huzz man. Please. I’m begging you. chadmaxxer
+1 Yeah there are synergies between WM and IB VP in IB - Cov
+1 LBS by a big margin. HSG is top in Dach, doesn't have the same weight in London as LBS/LSE Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 LBS > LSE >> HSG for London.  For dach HSG slightly ahead but the individual profile will be more important  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Get with the program. Play padel. ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 Bump, curious as well as to why FIG gets hated on Intern in IB - Cov
+1 In the rare times I've encountered this I really don't understand why it happens. It's your place of work. You share your floor's bathroom with the people you work with. Raijin
+1 Lol I was not expecting to see Silent Cal mentioned on a WSO thread. Disagree on the take though, Warren Harding was way less trustworthy than Coolidge, I actually like Coolidge. kiltedlowlander
+1 Get yourself another offer friend Investment Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Go into tech then. lol Monaco Man
+1 all talk no do Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 The FAANG firms churn engineers at an insane rate. You can pretty much coast to VP in IB fairly easily, FAANGs are much more likely to fire people in year 1. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I have not lied at any point at all!  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I love all the Analyst 1s in here giving career advice. lol splitaces
+1 bump grape.ape
+1 not my story but a close friend of mine dated a girl whos dad was a md at a bb and broke up after trading up SAoNothing
+1 My company is still looking at multifamily in select markets, most notably SF. We're currently underwriting a low 4's going-in, stabilizing to a low 5 in Y3, and selling at a high 4 after a 10 year hold. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 MF PE or MF PC what type of role was it for your junior summer? Also, I don't think you would be competing with lateral hires as a fresh graduate. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 It might be group/location dependent, but my boy in Seattle pulls that many hours. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Don't know if this helps, but my rate was always below 5% as a straight Asian non-nepo / diversity without any roots in the U.S.  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 basically 0 chance FI PM. unless you have relevant skillset would stay away from niche muni/structured/em ex corps etc bc no skillset overlap. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 FST1234The wife needs to be very tall and very strong. I personally am very tall so our kid is physically blessed. Stonks1990
+1 About $3.50 Determined
+1 Cantor for sure Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Shaq was playing between 350-400 pounds during the Lakers dynasty at 7’1”. Peak Shaq makes Wemby look like a skeleton. Pokemon Master
+1 Bubble + you have to work with a bunch of bugmen Asian nerds. nontargetbrah
+1 Lavar Ball did this, seems to have worked out well for him. Tough part is this isn't some unique idea, you are competing with a lot of other wealthy parents on the AAU circuit. Nobody Man
+1 Typical DEI scum. The way she waddled away with the trashcan lmao fitting Xhamster02
+1 Sounds more like he took a better offer laka
+1 I currently work at Hines and reiterate what said above, the firm is rapidly changing and has a lot of growing pains as part of that shift. Pay is not that standardised and subject to negotiation. Director in RE - Comm
+1 Raijin: Sir Desmond Glazebrook
+1 Bump Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Thanks for the answer. I’ve never really considered the short side of it given no real incentives to do so. It’s simply not what I think about when researching new ideas. ElusiveAlpha
+1 These numbers are substantially better than what I was just quoted for a Director title in a T-2/T-3 east coast region. Can you share generally where you're located? Principal in RE - Comm
+1 Unironically this is method Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 Congrats on JPM Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+1 Missed opportunity to say she got “canned” in the title smh IsItREPE
+1 Now that you see her, her morals, that Chase has this position and senior leaders who created this position and put her in it, and that dozens like her are in federal government, I hope you see what the future holds. pjm.priv
+1 Yeah didn't cantor give a HC equity research analyst a 5 year, USD 40 million contract recently? That suggests they're investing well in their HC practice generally. PaulAllenIsInLondon
+1 can anyone acc say if it was any good? im assuming it is more for those going right before internship or FT to gear up for work Prospect in IB - Restr
+1 I agree competence is important and there's not much you can do outside of showing you are a well-adjusted person who is competent; but think it's a bit of a naive take to say it's half the battle. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 For what it’s worth, verbally accepted the following offer: Title/Level: Manager Base 150k Bonus: 50% (Cash, paid quarterly) Signing Bonus: 15k Associate 2 in Private Credit
+1 It depends a lot on your PM and team size and how spread out they are. More and more, there’s a lot of flexibility. Most of our jobs can be done from home as effectively or more effectively than in an office. investor45
+1 Exits are all inertia based as headhunters are not very tuned into the IB leauge tables. As long as they get paid, they will continue as they have been. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 How’s Atlanta? Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Haha fair enough... why is Bellwether subpar exactly? Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 If only she knicked two, then she’d have cannons… The_Fisher_Account
+1 Really a question of interest + NPV. If you like looking at small businesses and want to help build out their PE business + believe you will perform and DE Shaw won’t can the strategy then prob a good seat with good pay. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Gugg is not cracking top 5 even for rx dude, like 90% behav process Replace with either hl rx or greenhill (M&A or rx) Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Not really the hardest I guess but this one person from Oppenheimer treated a chat over the phone like an interview. bcbandar
+1 dayumsam: They pay analysts $110-125k base, so disagree having gone through it and rejected the aso offer. There's also phantom carry at the junior level. TopBucketIsOverrated
+1 EVR RX for SA. The stuff they ask is disgusting  somethingiswrongwithmyfactset
+1 Appreciate the feedback! I was told I'd be working on the CVA side so good to hear it's relatively buttoned up. Which do you think has the better reputation? Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 Man I work as a trader and am hitting 7 figs second year in a row. Late 20s and work as much as I want (have my own book). TackoDonkey
+1 Oh sh*t. That hit hard Curious MONK-ee
+1 Interviewed with them last year for their FT analyst program, had a great experience overall (liked all the people that I met and enjoyed the process) Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Knowing the guy's background, it's bizarre why either party chose one another. It was very unlikely it was ever going to work out. MMPM
+1 Because the kids from Ivey that they've hired in the past did very well jacobcrawford
