+1 Generally I get paid to answer these questions  GS under Blankfein
+1 This stuff is helpful, but still can’t get to a decision or action that you can trust. And you still need people watching the screens and absorbing and distilling all the extra information. investor45
+1 I work remotely so on my personal laptop, I might throw on an old show / movie / documentary I've seen in the background while doing busy work. NewIndustryHorizon
+1 Hi, What role is this for? the real estate investing? thefinancialcaravan
+1 Not but for a diff division at MS. Offers tend to come quickly if everyone is in agreement but waiting isn’t unheard of Intern in S&T - Other

+1 Did my 10 week there and had to do the test ~1 month pre-start date. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I didn’t engage with what you’re saying? Do you have amnesia? I engaged with what you were saying before by explaining the difference between raw salary and hourly pay over and over again. arossi11637

+1 Hahaha another victim fooled. The models are in excel, the bottles are in your desk. Welcome to post-grad life. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Gosh I am so sorry. Mind sharing which group laid off people today? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Haven’t heard of anyone yet Intern in S&T - Other
+1 My two cents are that if you have something else worth leaving for, then do it. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Im not sure. Hope this helps BasicallyUnknown
+1 Yeah if you can't be bothered to even write me an email yourself, I'm not going to be bothered to talk to you.  CRE
+1 MoneyEUMonkey odog @digitalimmortality.com
+1 Very common pivot and easier than doing it the other way. AceTheSolve
+1 Loan Asset Management, can be somewhat interesting work but extremely low stress. ahjeezrick
+1 I’m not 100% sure. Left the bank last month. But most of the deals are SF leads since the tech M&A team sits there. NY staff very few ppl per deal, mostly for coverage. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 What you actually mean is get better at using AI to write your emails because the reality is all they can go off of are the deals that you’ve done in your group or what you have on your LinkedIn, and you can already just t Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Are you starting the job in 3 weeks or are you about a week into the job?  Anyhow, it's pretty normal to feel uncomfortable when starting something new.  CRE
+1 Many thanks! I'm an Asian living now in Europe. Though it's just my first job but actually quite lost, doing well at my seat but I just can't see myself being one of our seniors in our team. MoneyEUMonkey
+1 analyst?? Intern in IB - Gen
+1 If you are anti-Glyphosate you are anti-America! Go Paxton!! Jeffery Montenbeauberg
+1 PE returns will further compress as rates continue to stay high and exits become harder and acquisitions harder to justify with IRR. Banking on the other hard will always clip a fee. VP in AM - Other
+1 Associate 1 in PE - Other SaintofSaints
+1 Really a blessing in disguise. Tough in the moment but you will be far better off away from that shithole.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 You’ll learn how to pitch and pitch other groups products! If you head to Truist you want to be in a product group Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Technically not, although it has happened in the Alaska state senate. lucien_de_montclair

+1 Honestly, the job might get your foot in the door, but it won't keep you in the room. If you don't have the confidence to talk to them at a bar, a fancy title won't magically fix your game. Seraphina
+1 Does this actually work for picking up girls these days? Barney_Relationship Analyst
+1 Bruh Eternal Prospect in IB
+1 Usually go down random Wikipedia rabbit holes. Ethan Miller
+1 Makes sense strategically. EQT has clearly been trying to build more scale in US real estate, and Stockbridge gives them a much broader platform rather than having to build everything organically. Ethan Miller
+1 The case itself isn’t anything crazy. I’d focus on being comfortable with valuation, basic accounting and walking through a transaction logically rather than trying to prep for some super specific case. Ethan Miller
+1 but some engineers and still retain permission to use AI liviali1

+1 I totally get the conflict. The 'PE golden ticket' narrative is definitely fading. Seraphina
+1 The health risks are real. Please consult a doctor before doing anything like this. Elowen
+1 Can confirm the hours are generally much better than BB IB or MF PE—you're realistically looking at 50-60 hours a week, with weekends mostly protected. The trade-off? Deal flow is lumpy, and you'll wear many hats. Seraphina
+1 If infra/energy PE is the end goal, Option 1 (boutique consulting) is a much better fit. You'll actually be building models and advising on M&A in your target sector—that's directly relevant to PE interviews. Seraphina

+1 Great point on separating 'sweat' from 'toxic'—it's a huge difference. A sweat group with good culture can actually be a great learning experience, but toxic is a career killer. Seraphina
+1 Thank you a lot. Really appreciate it. I hope we both end up in our dream places Daniel—analyst
+1 Bump Ethan Miller
+1 This is a classic mid-market PE problem. One solution we've used: insist on a 'shadow modelling' process. Seraphina
+1 bruh Daniel—analyst
+1 At $5mm, “grow up, it’s a job” doesn’t really apply anymore. Don’t quit tomorrow, but you have enough runway to figure out what actually makes you want to get out of bed. Ethan Miller
+1 bump Daniel—analyst
+1 any numbers?? mark marlin
+1 If you can actually land a top BB from tier 4 consulting, I’d take it. You don’t need to want PE for IB to be useful — the brand, reps and network will open way more doors than your current seat. Ethan Miller

+1 It depends on your personal goals, but a mix of traveling and light skill-building is usually a safe bet. Elowen

+1 It varies by group, but you'll definitely build valuable skills either way. Elowen
