+1 Honestly at this point maybe we need some hikes to force seller capitulation larry david
+1 100 on the bid and 200 on the offer indicates ‘at that exact moment’ people are more willing to sell. Most of the liquidity in this stuff is off exchange anyway. [email protected]
+1 VP said trajectory matters a lot - see how they develop? It’s your call of course, hard to tell without meeting the person and watching them work. alexcokke
+1 ‘My intern’? Your title says intern… alexcokke
+1 These sound about right Managing Director in IB - Cov
+1 Can a UK student apply to an OC abroad? Curious.  I have been based in the UK all my life but do hold BB and MM internships in IBD.  Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 read this guide here Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Don’t bother going to NYC every weekend, most networking is done online nowadays (also what exactly is your plan once you get to NYC, just walk into a bank and talk to people???). hsjdndjj
+1 bump Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 It’s time to give nyc back to the Lenape  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 My guy - if you're in the room, it's yours to lose. Man up. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Yeah people don’t consider this aspect of having a massive talent / context window, especially in projects that last a looooong time. flipcup
+1 Cornell Hotel by a mile. Cornell Dyson is good too, as you can easily tap the Hotel school's club infrastructure. Otherwise, just be a top student at any undergrad business program and you have a good shot. Anonymous Monkey
+1 Math+philosophy would not put you at a substantive disadvantage versus math+econ. As long as you're doing the math major, banks will know you have the quantitative skills. Anonymous Monkey
+1 It’s pretty solid advice tho  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Sure man, but in this universe I have 7 figures in my brokerage account. What about you? Neebard
+1 End goal is to be rich  Read “how to get rich” by ramit Sethi or whatever it’s called  Go corpdev and use your money wisely  Vp2 not intern  Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Always thought a dermatologist would be the most elite job. Hyper competitive to get into but once you're practicing it's $500k+ for 40 hours a week.  Associate 3 in IB - CB
+1 I agree, it’s totally plausible that your old boss is ruining these opportunities. It’s impossible to find out but I went through something similar. chimpmonkie512
+1 Everyone who works there is the biggest herb Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Candidly, I think my reps and real experience in the space is rare, plus I have aura... In all seriousness, I wasn't afraid to negotiate and successfully moved it up. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Im guessing banks you can lateral to are better MM (RJ, Piper) /top MM (Blair, Baird, HL,Jeff) Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Isn’t there some middle ground you’d like? You can pursue opportunities that might not make economic sense to the average person, but will be full of self-actualizing experiences. monkeyvjit
+1 rationale for dk below pods? going through ft process rn for dk+pods. dk program is rly new compared to pod programs, but most of the past rotationals have stayed which seems good mookmook27
+1 Hasn’t been suggested yet but how about doing a semester as a visiting student at UF? Lets you enjoy the scene and experience life as a Florida student without sacrificing the Cornell degree. valueaddbro
+1 Still have a full head of hair and the MS wasn’t mine just to be clear  Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 Just gift expensive wine bottles to your juniors like some  MDs do and you are in. Next thing is they are drunk at a social event, they will let you take home.   Principal in IB - Cov
+1 Some are 9 to 9 some are sweaty as hell but different flavors of sweaty. You are going to have to ask which firms you are interested in. I heard Ares is the better of them when it comes to WLB.  VP in PE - Other
+1 Not really a player aside from some LMM 5 million EBITDA OFS & Industrials deals SMU Final Boss
+1 I started to realize that these young girls post grad (22-24) dont actually really care that much about your job title, but more of how fun and cool of a guy you r (obviously your physical attraction too)  Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+1 Has anyone gotten group preference form after submitting Hirevue? Submitted my Hirevue today, but haven’t received a group preference form Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Second this, well said. Only other thing I’d add is that at the junior level, you’re paid simply for your ability to produce work product. Intellectual curiosity is a cherry on top. asdf1248
+1 not heard any updates post case anyone else?  rowan_gif
+1 If an intern receives negative feedback from an analyst during the midterm review and in case the relationship feels a little awkward afterward, should the intern still proactively check in and ask for opportunities to wor xprf99
+1 Agreed; the work product needs to be strong as a basic expectation. Think by the second year, most people are able to produce good enough work, to where it's hard to stand out based on just work quality. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 ^^ If I could go back I would have taken the SIE on my own not but what it teaches you but the way it does. It’s all very basic stuff but has it layed out well and is very digestible. waccAF
+1 Well I wish you the best of luck... when you're ready to dive back in, the Pablo 50s and CUBA 43s are waiting to put some hair on your chest if you want to just cut down on the # of tins you're running through.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 I personally made a big jump in my second year, leading more technical workstreams / modeling and client interactions. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 You should reach out to him because you screwed him over. Take accountability and attempt to remedy your mistakes. It is not that hard. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Both semi rooseveltfan
+1 Pat Gallagherliquidiot longandshort
+1 Was in SS ER for 6 years. Left when I was a VP. Made the jump to corporate strategy at a large cap. So far so good. The job doesn’t have any of modeling/finance work, and I actually enjoyed that element of ER. BabylonLine
+1 its not even about hiring kids from "shithole states" banks love bragging about how they have 100+ apps for every seat arbjunkie
+1 yes, like making decks for people who wouldn’t give a shit or even notice if you live or die Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 I think it honestly depends on headcount tied to the performance of each individual bank. In a good year even “bucket 3” will also get a RO Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 U got one life bro. Optimizing for the top of anything is just gonna be boring at a certain point. If you wanna be a doctor and find science genuinely interesting then do it. urface21
+1 Not an intern ignore my title Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Good to know. I am also at a BB coverage group. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 R u deadass in hs on this site? Thats pretty sad bro why worry abt ur career when ur at a stage where you can just live normally without a care Intern in IB-M&A
+1 If you spend your whole life blaming minorities for not achieving what you want in life, you’ll end up poor, broke, and miserable. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 That really puts into perspective how quickly everything can change. zacharywalker
+1 Love the yes I'm a virgin preemptive self-deprecation, well played. LarryVA
+1 Think your pitch just needs to straightforward and not rely on assumptions you can’t justify. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+1 What are folks' thoughts on starting a boutique PFG+PCA firm given the consistent growth of the market? Is the space already too crowded / dominated by Evr, Laz, Jeffries, etc? Quint101
+1 Simple health kitchen for protein without the excess calories. As the name suggests, it’s basic but does the job from a fitness / diet perspective. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 i went to a very hard school in Chicago and watched my friends enjoy life, and get better grades, and (in some cases) ultimately end up in places like fucking private equity and MBB after attending a big party school in th HuskiesRE
+1 Solid list, although I would also add Zoolatech to the companies worth considering, especially for complex enterprise and customer-facing mobile products. viktorzhadan
+1 The differing impacts of cap rates changes aren't exponential. They are a convex relationship is what you mean to say.  Director in RE - Other
+1 Definitely visit the doctor, but more than likely it will just be chalked up to stress from work, which is probably the case. analystbabooon
+1 Definitely stress. You can try to cut back on coffee or substitute tea, change up diet as well. Ultimately it may only get better as you feel more confident and in control of your role.  malts
+1 Largley depends on the people you're talking to. At a NYC networking event, being from a well-known / respected employer turns more heads and opens more doors.  NewIndustryHorizon
+1 banking is fake hard (unreasonable deadlines + people yell at you + work a lot on drudgery) HFPM15
+1 What do you mean, you "brought a developer a site"? Ozymandia
+1 Questions like this always interest me because what are you going to do if we say it's too plain? Tell your manager "this isn't close enough to IB for me" then quit with nothing else on the table? nutmegger189
+1 To be fully transparent, WF is not a great place for buy-side exits. The good momentum of the bank on M&A league tables is not getting reflected on exits yet. Even UBS or Jefferies can offer better options. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 What does pay look like vs globals I hear senior associates at some globals can make up to $500k newg
+1 Top BB (GS/MS). The interview process does not mean interns are technically skilled, especially since they recruit over a year before they start the job. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 I’ve met with most ABS/ABF groups at banks and am starting to meet with sponsors. zak22
+1 Did you hear back from the group interview? dwawadhuwahuadw
+1 ^. Be yourself. That’s what got you in that room in the first place. Work hard, be kind, thrive. zak22
+1 What school? If not Queen's / Ivey and a investment club it's time to leave NYC alone. UBSFanBoy
+1 no. that was an example based off a real bugatti chiron owner I met. they own 20-30 industrial warehouses near ports and a huge commercial office complex and other side businesses. zuriwasser
+1 why does everyone automatically talk about andrew tate with bugattis. its insane that only on wso can people work at gs or go to hyspm and never have seen a bugatti Chiron owner. nachocheese
+1 Would be interesting if there were tax credit incentives like there have been for renewables. Fast and Fiduciary
+1 A hedge fund as in some type of gardening right? wallstrett
+1 All makes sense. Thanks again so much - really appreciate you taking the time to write this for me and help out. Cheers.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You can't go to HBS for shits and giggles. HBS requires you to be in class from about 9-3. If you don't show up you'll get kicked out. Phones and laptops are prohibited during class. BuySideIntern
+1 Sorry for your loss. Leverage Hero
+1 From what I’ve seen it’s just markets, risk and private bank. Anyone know when IB FT will be dropping ? Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Disagree. Sure if you are an asshole in the boardroom you are likely an asshole to your juniors. But there are many folks in this industry that are able to do the former but not let themselves fall into the latter. evergrande
+1 immigrant is not a hook sorry to say. If you want stay close to home get the ACT up to 35, and look at rice, vandy and washu which are lower? semi targets but still t20. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Be normal? Have social skills? What kind of question is this Broker in IB - Cov
+1 lol kid do you know what you are talking about. It is for SA not FT. Apollo basically exclusively hires from Oxbridge for their SA from OCR. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I lived with roommates for the first half of As1 (cause I went A2A and was already living with them). Works at Barclays
+1 Also agree on the moat point. If you can’t clearly answer why doesn’t AI kill this in 3–5 years, people just move on. no one wants to be the guy who invested in a business that was already evidently dying  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Well since exponential functions also exhibit convexity, perhaps the maximally accurate description is a positive reciprocal but few casual observers have that mental image ready - let's just settle on "nonlinear decline o kylejackson
+1 Why do you think your fundraising skills are weak? Have you ever tested them out? You seem to be opinionated and if your sourcing/structuring deals are as good as you say, raising money should be easy. Teller in PropTrad
+1 lmfao VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Would look at Valor Equity, Reverence, Lead Edge and Bregal if any interest in tech. Outside NYC would look at JMI (Baltimore), Turn/River (SF), Silversmith (Boston), and Serent (SF). Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 no throaway56784
+1 We’re giving rising sophomores junior summer internships. What’s the world come to? clear_eyes_full_hearts
+1 It's so over throaway56784
+1 Yeah you’re fucked ngl Intern in IB - Gen
+1 You probably don't need to tell your supervisor. nutmegger189
+1 rip hari bobj789
+1 The old advice of just spam applying on Trackr is outdated since everyone does it now. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 I went through last summer and got a top 5 BB. Most people in the 6 ACs I did (excluding DEI) had 2-3 internships, either highly relevant to the job or at a well-known firm. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 Looks as if you did not check your own post for mistakes. 716jasper
+1 Friday nights as soon as I got the greenlight to log off, would grab a few beers and dinner. Could be a date or with your buddies. bluebottlesipper
