+1 Better groups (GIG, FIG only) had decent MM and even UMM pe exits. Most go to corp dev or lateral to another bank (generally not top banks / groups). Saw a lot of pca, ecm, credit product group type stuff. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Upstream focus, London-specific(quite different from Housotn) Tier 1: JPM / GS / Jeff /Barclays -> dominant players in the market Tier 2: MS / Citi / LEA / KLC / HL / Roths Asso1an
+1 They had like 1-2 of those per group, median outcome from those groups is not so good  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Solid list, I would add Scotia to the list as well SMU Final Boss

+1 The cleaner mechanism is that a share is a claim on free cash flow, and the company decides how much of it leaves the building. A buyback or dividend is just one way to send it out. stockpearl
+1 Ah thanks for correcting me. I suppose you have an Alex Jones video that can tell me all about it? JulianRobertson
+1 Several people are going through this same thought process. To me, I think it is how long you can stomach not working (financially and emotionally). Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Whatever conspiracy site you follow then. I don't follow nutjobs. Either way I'm not interested JulianRobertson
+1 One-year master's graduates at Oxford are officially full alumni and real Oxford men on the exact same level as the undergraduate alumni. Prospect in Research - Other

+1 Hopefully MV gone by then  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Try to think of it this way: deals are successful or not successful, not structures. CRE
+1 Easiest path would be to work on data centers as depending on who you ask it's either real estate or infrastructure. VP in RE - Comm
+1 Yea i agree with this + also my heart of hears say taht banker fees should compress to. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Try get a role in Big 4 infra advisory. They’re super active and typically exit to infra funds after 2 or so years. Only thing is you’ve to be sure that’s what you want to do as switching back will be tough. VP in RE - Comm
+1 I’m afraid yes. Claude Opus outperforms my Associate all day every day. I’d rather have $1,000 worth of Claude tokens every month than an Associate VP in PE - LBOs
+1 SasoskiiI have 3 questions: Coffee Trader
+1 Legacy brand name is still pretty good, especially with boomers who joined pre-GFC Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+1 The easiest way to do it is through moving to American and doing an MBA program. jl12
+1 I looked for about six months and seriously considered older houses, but I just didn't want to take the risk on someone else's 30-year-old problems or a bad renovation. So I went new. dean787
+1 Sadly I have to agree that it really does feel like management is running the firm in a way to best prioritize a sale within the next year or two. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 The quality of people and the quality of investment experience is very low. Have worked with their team to syndicate out co investments, and also have interviewed ppl there who want to switch into real investment roles. newkid2019
+1 Completely in the same boat. Struggle to internalize and digest the shear volume of information that comes my way. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
0 Chicago for sure. I led recruiting at my BB group and we bucketed Chicago with the other Ivies. Stern went into the group with solid schools like UNC, UVA, etc. Associate 1 in PE - Other
0 I'd try to find anything else tbh  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
0 In Anchorage we had a saying: Grit isn’t forged in moments of triumph — it’s tested in the quiet, arctic battles you fight when no one's watching and not even the polar bears are around. lucien_de_montclair
0 Anyone with half a functioning brain cell on this site can see what you are.  GordonGekko87
0 Agree with the above. I know multiple people who rejected Roths for Evercore in London. Evercore is growing strongly across the board and has great deal flow across all teams. Roths likewise, but still a lot of MM stuff. jcash123
0 Because privately built and funded housing worked so well in the past? WilliamMckenzie
0 Agree with everything above except EVR exits are nowhere near BAML/PJT. More similar to UBS / DB / Barclays. Anecdotally speaking, but there is data too. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
0 Wow didn’t know Analyst 2 in IB - M&A got paid by PJT to hype their brand Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 "Wondering what people think the future holds for NYC as the financial hub of the world with Mamdani as mayor." It will continue to be the financial hub of the world. jl12
0 GordonGekko87It was none of that. How anyone in commercial real estate can see anything positive in this boggles my mind.  Ozymandia
0 I thought people on WSO were intelligent.  I may have been wrong. financeabc
0 I'd put them all in that catch-all Tier 1. Ivies + Duke + MIT + Stanford + Chicago. I guess Georgetown would be like a 1.5 with Vanderbilt but point stands. Associate 1 in PE - Other
0 Copied this from my comment on another thread:  GordonGekko87

0 100% agree. Depending on your vertical you have fantastic exit ops coming out of Evercore. GoodAsGoldman
0 A socialist is just a closet communist. You are ridiculously naive if you don't understand that. hedgehog9
0 Yeah, I think that's a really insightful take. Ozymandia
0 Well his predilictions to support genocides done by Arabs should shock everyone.  Because he 100% supports the genocide of black Africans by Arabs and Muslims.  PEarbitrage
0 Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I've been planning the classes I'm going to take first year. They're mostly core classes and I've been learning which ones are easy from talking to alumni I know.  maroon
0 Met many of their senior folks recently - great people and would happily work with them. Stark contrast to some PE people you sometimes come across in NYC / SF. They have some strongly performing investments too. The_Fisher_Account

0 We gotta stop hiring from banks man Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
0 Didn't mean for it to come off that way and hate when people "sound smart" myself, but 1. I am all new to this, and 2. I think there is a certain value to using the lingo and not oversimplifying the ideas. Prospect in IB - Gen
0 Yep everyone I personally know that are there have low GPAs and would've gotten cut anywhere else. Analyst 1 in PE - Other

0 Associate 2 in PE - LBOsLost me at 800k opportunity cost isn't a lot PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
0 it's a qualitative saying and varies based on who talks about it, but the idea that all value investing advocates share is: don't overpay (or better yet: buy cheap) GS under Blankfein
0 Just proved OP’s point. Keep playing the white victim card and abusing merit in the name of Gender DEI.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
0 If you're going to transfer, 100% transfer going into your sophomore > junior year; it only gets harder the more time you spend at your original school, socially and recruiting-wise. Prospect in IB - Gen
0 GordonGekko87His friend, Hassan Piker, who was literally celebrating with him at the victory party, did.  financeabc
0 This won't affect your career in the slightest. Stop worrying, but don't do that anymore. brianplord
0 Women absolutely laugh and roll their eyes at men who call them “females.” It isn’t weird to call women 18-30 “women” either. No different than calling a man 18-30 “man.”  CRE
0 Nice grandstanding, intern. You haven't worked a day in this industry yet have the gall to shame someone for wanting to work in IB and not FP&A? This site is such a mess. Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs

0 Yeah because they don't have freedom Associate 1 in IB - Cov
0 What kind of exit oops are there from this group tigercash
0 HF BD is an HR/HH role. You are recruiting talent to the company. That’s not gonna become an investing role ever Benson Says

0 On money, no point in even having a discussion. River Oaks (best part of HTX) rent is 1.7-2k/month, for a 1x1. Associate 1 in IB - CB
0 So I love this topic. There was a recent article on business insider I believe about how one hedge fund BD team gets a pseudo track record from another hedge fund. Its very shady business practices, like spy vs spy. surge-protector
0 This is a sad thread Pulisic69
0 Well, UCL is a target; Durham, Bath, and Bristol are strong semi-targets, while Manchester is a non-target. Lorderic
0 Congrats on DCM fettywacc
0 That’s not DEI dimwit. It’s DEI when Cuban decides his team will be 50% female no matter and starts filling those spots with midget yt women. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 The other factor is that they hired a whole bunch of Barclays MDs that are generally bad and they can’t get rid of them because their main boss (also from Barclays) hand picked all his buddies to come over to UBS. Associate 3 in IB - Cov
0 It’s worse than UCL in every way. Hope that helps. AK6969
0 NoEquityResearchSocialism and communism has uniquely performed the largest genocides in history. So there's that. CRE
