Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+1 If UBS is serious about reducing compensation costs, I’d expect pressure on headcount and bonuses, but the timing and scale of any layoffs are still uncertain. huanlamunov
+1 Drink n Drive? Hardo Intern
+1 Bump that, any insight on RBC advisory program? studentmonkey101

+1 FIG SA here FIG is very good at helping you place at pretty much any bank with headcount (either FIG or non FIG) At least, that's my experience Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I don't think you should run. Culture and WLB is obviously team-dependent but overall culture at QuadReal is pretty good and for teams with longer hours it's very normal to go home, tend to family stuff, etc. Broadlake
+1 Relax pal alexcokke
+1 1: true that I am being aggressive on cash comp assumption in early 30s, but also I think spending 500k a year is pretty high assuming you are single income at that stage of life. notsospecialsituation

+1 Yes. But has made analysts braindead and extremely obvious when they use it and can’t explain their work. Best for explaining concepts as other user noted. dawgbrew
+1 I’m much more interested in the depth of your experience on the deal and ability to speak to the business’ merits/risks/etc. as an investment than any level of sexiness or scale.  SaaSChimp
+1 I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone debate HBS vs. Wharton, scholarship or not. There’s no debate, the answer is HBS. Principal in PE - LBOs

+1 Nobody cares Partner in IB - Gen
+1 They are cooked.  I think millenials and older gen z are the last intelligent generation. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 CD&R has told several of us in my banking group to be ready next week. They won’t kick off but some will for sure Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 I don't know if you are strictly talking about the tier 0 mythics. submartingale123
+1 The same way (above average) professional sports players get back in the league after beating a woman Mr Balloon Hands
+1 Anyone heard back? lizbeth_
+1 Definitely not, I’ve given firm pitch book templates and when you ask it to generate a slide, it takes 8-10 minutes most of the time and the output is very obviously AI (footnotes go way too in depth, formatting looks weir Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Agreed. Claude + skills >> any of these finance platforms zoo84
+1 this sounds about right asdhfjwoohwnrocjdunw
+1 You would be right, I'm not talking about purely Tier 0. SpaceEngineer
+1 I agree, there are plenty of nontraditional paths for it but Alex Gerko isn't really a good example for this; he won several math competitions in Russia and did his BS+MS+PhD in Mathematics as well. SpaceEngineer
+1 PWP analyst*** Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Partners put brand / prestige above rescuing a sinking share price TG6070
+1 As a pilot and investment banker, I would say go the investment banking route first.  The training alone sets you up to be successful in many different lines of work later in your career. MadMaxMergers
+1 Agree on both points. Fred Fredburger
+1 Bump villow
+1 Brother I would chill and focus on getting into a good college first. Good to network and learn about the industry, as you mature and learn more about what you value in life your opinion might change. VP in VC
+1 Not sure if MS is getting street bonus....... Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I am a coffee trader at a top 3 in the world, and can say comp is good enough but not the same as my colleagues in energy and no you normally have a very hard time pivoting to other commodities that aren't agri. Coffee Trader
+1 Thanks for your valuable insights. I’ve also been considering pursuing a master’s degree at a leading target university such as HEC Paris, LBS, Oxford, Cambridge or LSE. bromleyy
+1 Interesting. So are you looking for deals where the owner is just tired and doesn’t realize they can sell to another owner user for more money? pudding
+1 The number of bios of the leadership team on the website got depleted quite a bit.    odog @digitalimmortality.com

+1 Koder & BofA more broadly are all about capital markets and cost control. The bank doesn’t value M&A and their leaders don’t have experience in it  VP in IB - Gen
+1 If you attend a non-UK university for bachelors I'd prefer to do my masters at the UK for London roles. Lorderic
+1 To add, it’s easily to tell when you have Claude right it. My group title is slightly odd… so when someone uses “I’m very interested in X”, it’s just odd and scrapped directly from LinkedIn. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 I agree…. But that’s BofA’s philosophy for you. Expense management and compliance is the focus and growth is secondary VP in IB - Cov

+1 Do you ever get tired of posting AI generated BS? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+1 I love my salamader. One container of worms in the fridge lasts about 2 months. Only need to feed him twice a week or so., Very chill guy. Can easily do it if you do a bit of research on a lower maintenance animal. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Prob have to wait a year and it’s usually only if they have a need in another office. That’s how it is at WB at least. greatmonkey
+1 Interesting. It’s not that way in my market. Can you share the market and/or region you are in?  pudding
+1 I don’t think you totally failed. You gained valuable experience.  You only failed in making a living with your start up, for now.  odog @digitalimmortality.com
+1 If you're name is in the portal when you didn't apply means bro pushed for you. Just chill and follow up in a week. Gold-ManSacks
+1 When does the music stop for folks like these? techiebanker
+1 I understand this is a wild concept for the average WSO hardo propsect or analyst who have never learned how to think for themselves, but some people do find enjoyment in M&A, being an investor, talking to companies, e VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Tosser. Don’t comment then.  VP in RE - Comm
+1 Omg you’re right! No one would ever come work there now! How embarrassing for Citi rock stars like you and OP would eschew their firm! Smoke Frog
+1 When free cash flow goes negative in a period, the model should draw on the revolver to cover the shortfall instead of letting cash fall below the minimum balance. IRRationalMgmt
+1 bump, in a similar spot Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Oh def! When the c-suite hears from 20 year old analysts that Citi is mean and screwing then on bonuses, they def don’t choose them on bake-offs! Smoke Frog

+1 Harvard, Oxford and LSE are good schools Intern in Risk Mnmgt
+1 Straight squids Raskalnikov
+1 Fortunately or unfortunately, first impressions have incredible permanency in PE. I’d be working 7 days a week to ramp if you suspect you’re behind.  SaaSChimp
+1 ^ This SaaSChimp
+1 crazy. But was this like real work, work, or more like doing something to get ahead without someone explicitly demanding that you work?  hansdieter1
+1 enlighten me fuku
+1 Remind me what’s elite about PWP? I respect Piper when I see them across the table (even if they’re a bit formulaic in their approach). When I see PWP, I assume they will have no content or capability.  Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 Have a pretty good sense of where you are based on the info you said and yes I’d make that move any day. It’s a no brainer. Managing Director in IB-M&A

+1 anyone else?  wowowowowasdfasdf
+1 i wouldn't mention the FT role. i would focus on the summer, and then on converting if i got it (and often times you can start FT immediately after the summer if you've graduated uni and they have space).  electronicmango
