+1 I know a Director dealing with this rn with a 2nd yr associate. She shows up at 11am and leaves at 4pm, goes on long coffee walks, doesn’t do much work, etc. Will go around saying he’s too intense / not being inclusive. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov

+1 They just raised an oversubscribed 3.5bn fund above their target this year, so can't be that bad. Maybe it's just due to the longer-term nature of PE, but looks like they at least have another shot.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 keep it lowkey but im defaulting on their private credit simbarawr264

+1 This fund is an absolute joke and they are primarily SF based (actually Burlingame) VP in PE - LBOs
+1 Yeah LBS is the best masters you can do to be honest, outside of HEC Paris (imo). Yes, have seen people roll straight into the grad scheme / FT after internships - all depends on needs of the team and/or how anal HR is. Gray Langur

+1 ex-CS deserve less  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Ah damn not sure why I forgot the green tea. B tier for me, it's got around 45mg of caf, so like a quarter of coffee, and can't compete with the heavy hitters imo. Basically too gentle. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Strawberry Dreams / white monster s+ tier and most alani flavors Intern in IB - Gen

+1 If those AMERICANS did not get the job, then they are not qualified, period lenoxhillrunner
+1 So you're probably replying to my original post. In retrospect, I actually became a lot more "hardo", but I do have the knowledge and social acumen to back it up now, at least I think I do.  Prospect in Risk Mnmgt

+1 26 here. Moved away from my hometown to a super fun city at 22 to start my career and raged hard up until 25. HitTheAsk
+1 I'm assuming you go Warwick? It's the only semi target (msc level) outside of London. I also don't understand why you'd even remotely consider doing a 2nd masters?? Maybe IB is just not for you.  Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Depends on what you’re solving for out of a PE associate program. B-school / HF looks? Would assume you’d be better off at a legacy name given connections and brand. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
