+1 kon2What's LT again. Like Lead ___? Leadership Team - the club officers SallyTomatoes
+1 Checks out, OP is probably at a firm with large percentage of Indians  Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Lol your premise is hilarious. AI (LLMs) are not going to automate away 50% of the white collar workforce or whatever the number is The Penguin
+1 imho northwestern is pretty underrated for IB recruiting. as long as you're able to get into one of the finance clubs you'll be fine and are pretty much guaranteed a placement from there. whatsup
+1 I look forward with great anticipation to a Deloitteful midterm cycle. Best regards in your endeavors. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Firm i'm at includes all stabilization costs, so TIs, LCs, carry costs (more free rent = more loan interest not covered by property cashflow), etc. in the denominator on industrial deals. So indirectly yes.  Dev_WanaBe
+1 Well see its pretty complicated because it’s not like other schools where its a 3% acceptance rate for their IB clubs and stuff like that but it is obviously competitive, esp with Northwestern’s growing recognition as a ta whatsup
+1 Huh? Every single MF principal is making this. If you’re a vanilla MFPE principal, you usually hit that wrung in early 30s. By mid-30s, you’re certainly clearing $1m+. Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 sorry about my wording, should've been more specific. whatsup
+1 IBC has officially like 220 ish applicants, 120 get an interview and from there like 70 get into IBC. whatsup

+1 Useless Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 JH? Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+1 Completely fine but please keep it succint and answer the question. HR need us to write notes in little boxes. This is BY FAR the most boring part of the interview for us. Count WACCula
+1 Horrendous. Look at previous comments and posts.  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 In a few years he has been fired from bluecrest and is no longer a PM. Does that qualify as whatever he wants? PM in HF - RelVal
+1 Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed response. This was a lot more thorough than I expected! greaterdreams

+1 starwars1234
+1 u clearly dont understand HF. if you work at a pod model, you get fired really easily on small drawdowns. even at SM, you get high watermarks if you have a bad year to catch up to. equitystrat
+1 Funny that this post got revived. Ended up going to Harvard and am doing management consulting, though not MBB! It’s very cool to see this post in hindsight. To those of you still wondering - do not do EDII! monk e
+1 GS under Blankfeinnot much advice besides becoming so successful that eventually you are in a position to revenge rape the associate  readthe10k
+1 Honestly shocked a Montenbeauberg is commenting on American politics at all. readthe10k
+1 At this point you also may want to start hedging your bets and look for corporate development roles in an industry you like, then just do everything you can after that to get into a good mba program that will get you looks asdf1248
+1 The best SMs to work at are generally the ones you’ve heard of still. Name recognition still matters quite a bit in this industry and that tends to be correlated with size / aum. Just some examples  internaltransfer
+1 Just to be clear, the only information LPs ever get is marketing bullshit. That relates to fund strategy, differentiation, thematic overlays, sector views, individual investments, etc. Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 For summers you'd need to be in penultimate year. Not sure if the 16 month master extension passes screening, you'd have to check. The 2 year format of continental europe MiM and some MiF definitely does.  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 The key is to automate execution without automating away understanding. To retain granular attention to detail in the AI age: WiseObserver

+1 I stopped reading after umich lucien_de_montclair

+1 starwars1234 StardustCrusader
+1 Dude you need to look at the positive side. You have a bright career path ahead of you in spite of "wasting" your college years. MMPM

+1 investmentinterestedCorporate sales role, not retail. I'm interested in an MBA but won't my background ALSO be the reason why I can't enroll in a top MBA?  TechBanking
+1 There's already a thread on this exact thing - "Morgan Stanley Phone Interview Off Cycle" - where one reply said expect pure behavioural. Single anecdote from 2021, so take it with salt. LedgerShelf
+1 virid1234Hi there, same if that’s okay sure, just text pilotamd24
+1 One data point for the "is IB still worth it" half of your question. AITraining.jobs
+1 It depends on what you want to do with your life. If all you are trying to do is maximize comp and minimize effort there are multiple avenues outside of either that provide a better ratio. Mephistopheles
+1 loving finance is not the same thing as loving long hours thebrofessor
+1 I don’t think they care enough to even think about whether it’s marketing bullshit or not. They’re basically bureaucrats that get paid much better than bureaucrats. Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 Professional meeting takers. I find most insufferable...but I do envy the job sometimes. Mephistopheles
+1 PCA is Evercore's secondaries advisory business - GP-led deals like continuation vehicles plus LP portfolio liquidity solutions. LedgerShelf

+1 No idea Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Libs are truly brain dead and will march to their own slaughter. God help us all birdhouse890

+1 Participated in their interview process, passed the 1st round / intro chat, then received a screen-recorded 2.5hr data cutting XLS file exercise... Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 You think that’s all you learn in IB? Ok - you cover a public company as your client. What do you go talk to them about / how can you add value to them? ky9xnsz
+1 Good lord you guys are virgins  IsItREPE
+1 I'd look beyond rankings and focus on the city as much as the university. David784
+1 Tale the job and don’t even consider the masters for any longer than u have already  czxrdxsz23
+1 I feel like general ettiquete for most banks has become really bad in terms of not even sending out rejection emails anymore. DancingMonkey22
+1 Bro take the job coming from one of the masters u mentioned, can guarantee u recuiting is very random maybe u can't even get a job better than ur MM after the master Quitmonkey123
+1 I mean if you are an LP anywhere you already made it in some other way DancingMonkey22
+1 Best part is that they have a spreadsheet with the contact details of their customers in. That's proprietary data that is a key differentiator VP in IB - Cov
+1 Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Definitely not normal for it to be this bad. Larger places with compliance departments are prob better from this perspective. Small shops will just take on the culture that is passed down from a few senior folks. Associate 1 in PE - Other

+1 As mentioned by others wealth partners is basically done and everybody would advise you to stay away from them.  NYChockey
+1 This is inaccurate, pay is well above the street at the associate level and above and on par with every other bank at the analyst level Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Just take any company with public financials, do your analysis, and say whether you would lend to that company / at what terms / whether the existing term loans they have were underpriced/overpriced, etc.  GS under Blankfein
+1 bjessop VP in PE - Other
+1 Inshallah doobeedoobeedoo
+1 Bro is not an associate Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Give it 3-4 months before a WSJ article on Citadel hiring Arini's Gavin Yates to perform another situational awareness-like snipe at Arini's positions. WilliamsBleh
+1 What do you mean they lost there glamour? I have a buddy in that office, they’ve literally been repping out crazy deals more than ever and just poached ehren Stenzler and Jake Donovan. Eternal Prospect in IB

+1 OzymandiaI don't get how anyone can deny there is a lot of productivity+ with AI. m_1
+1 Did this 2 years ago. 3 interviews that were a mix of technical/ commercial awareness/ competency and brain teasers. All interviewers done by bankers and no HR involvement  adiiiyb
+1 That is an interesting question. Why really people invest on Crypto?. It was introduced initially to have a global currency, but nowadays people use it to speculate their money. Sense12
+1 Most places aren’t going to teach you. You just have to start doing it and at least do a paper portfolio investor45
+1 you come across as extremely mature and self aware - wishing you success on your future endeavors lappingezcomps
+1 You’ve been a PM for a few years and had a $25m comp year? Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 People read some of the nonsense that students with no professional experience post on here and have become completely detached from reality, genuinely believing that lateral moves to an EB/BB are about as rare as un Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+1 RSM IBA is well seen I would say but a top master from LSE, Oxford or LBS would help in securing a top job in IB or consulting. boib_1
+1 BB M&A or LevFin no brainer….or tier one RX advisory like A&M Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Bro get your fucking confidence up. Ur a fucking beast. Saying ur in IB won’t ever outweigh the aura loss from an inherent confidence deficiency. rolo25
+1 Do you like insurance? You won’t exit to generalist PE but insurance has a ton of high paying opportunities across the industry. You will learn very valuable skills.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Principal in PE - LBOsYou’ve been a PM for a few years and had a $25m comp year? PM in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Isn't this a given?  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Get some sunlight if possible jamesDimon999
+1 Back in the 2000s it was a big flex. In London you'd have bars where analysts would go and girls are lined up for their dates. Those days are gone bawstin
+1 That’s awesome. Good for you. Principal in PE - LBOs
+1 This is not glaze. I said they are not a top RX IB. Your comment is indicative of the common downfall of this industry - over indexing “prestige” compared with actual results. Analyst 1 in IB - DCM
+1 I’d take the LevFin offer depending on th bank. MUFG has a really strong presence in PU&I, so if that’s something you’re interested in, would highly recommend. burner18363737728
+1 To answer your question - over the past few years there has been an unreasonable amount of attrition from Vista. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
