+6 People are gonna pick fights with your tier list as-is (Alix/A&M seem super low, etc.). Not gonna split hairs like you did, but I'd say its it's lower than T2 and better than Big4 depending on goals. Associate Consultant in Consulting
+6 In Hudson Yards. Love my team. Good pay and good hours. Work is interesting. Really no complaints.  Works at Wells Fargo and Company
+6 When I say PM, i mean R&M as well. For large institutional firms, I understand why they split up PM, R&M, etc.. Fred Fredburger
+6 Ok, got to break this down into parts. First off, congrats on breaking into RX—no small feat, especially from industry. Re: UCC work, you're right that it's often misunderstood and gets a bad rap online. Partner in Legal

+6 I believe it, they’ve started monitoring it and calling out people who use it every single day like a meal plan Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 Don't be fearful. Embrace it now. When you're young, you have a major advantage in the fact you can generally get a better idea of what the next "big thing" is. Take an Ai/ML course in college. usernameladiesman217

+6 A real politician would likely be able to run through this strategic analysis themselves, but it's fine that you're asking. kellycriterion

+6 Don't use this shitty website, bad and inaccurate questions Works at Morgan Stanley
+6 There was literally a thread a week or two ago about Evercore saying the same thing. Don’t be jealous someone else got a better offer than you. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+6 I have seen this with others before, and I hear you. I have seen ex-PE associates / VPs end up with VP Finance / CFO / chief of staff roles at a portco. I personally think it is a terrible path. Ventimacchiato

+6 Don't use this shitty website, bad and inaccurate questions Works at Morgan Stanley

+6 Truist will acquire them and change the name again Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Rice outside of Houston had an insane year. Citadel/CVP/GS/JPM NY + MOE/LAZ/GS SF are the highlights. Houston placements still killed it too. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+6 is it just me that thinks Perplexity set these kids up to fail? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+6 I'd go for wells. growing platform, sick office, interns get signing bonus + OT pay, decent enough exits lollololol
+6 This is very true. Around age 35, I realized that I don’t give a f*** about titles, prestige, cap rates, deals, etc. I do this for money. I need that money in order to have a secure middle class lifestyle. Covid19Brah
+6 Probably one of the least traditional exits from banking, but I was in a similar situation at the end of 2022. Completely burnt out and hating my life. I quit and pivoted into wealth advisory for HNW / UHNW clients. Prospect in IB - Gen
+6 Haven't failed a single case study stage in my career so far for associate or SA roles: Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+6 Congrats on UBS Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+6 wtf does “put Christ first mean”? If you’re working long hours, Christ gets demoted to second place? Smoke Frog

+6 who are they?  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Guarantee they weren't expecting you to just spit out the answer right there. e.g. if they wanted sqrt of the number 54321, to me the "right answer" would be walking through these steps with the interviewer: Angus Macgyver
+6 It's LMM and you're a sophomore, so speaking from experience, you're lucky you're getting paid at all to be honest ha PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+6 Factor-consciousness and pay-for-alpha mindset will persist, these are advancements in LPs ability to measure performance components & I don’t see it reversing back to “Tommy worked for Bobby who is a legend so give hi Anchor
+6 PNC ABL group.  VP in Research - FI
+6 Too many groups assuming these markets are going to V shape back to their glory days and completely ignoring how much inventory has outpaced growth.  Assist. VP in RE - Comm

+6 Lazard announced 3 1bn+ deals with 1 being 13.4bn, the other 2 being 1.9bn and 1.2bn, and 1 500 million dollar deal in the past week (all US). keep it pushing at UBS  Intern in IB-M&A
+6 "no face time, supportive team and a clear path to promotion" chill mate, that's not happening. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+6 H1Bs for complex hard skill jobs like AI engineer or doctor, I understand. IB really isn't fundamentally a difficult job and has a lot of interest, it makes no sense why the US imports people for banking jobs. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 This is fun, because it’s easy. I won’t convince you, but might deter the next moron who sees some broad based conspiracy with no evidence and decides to base their worldview on it. WSOBURNER69

+6 DEI bad, now give me SB Intern in Consulting
+6 Depends on the type of deal.  Anonymous Monkey

+6 Here's a better list- Also gotta seperate it out by gender but I'll do the male POV since it's more pertinent: S tier: Trinity, STD, Dalton, Collegiate streetfeen
+6 Sellside/buyside: Choosing sellside flattens the tail of potential outcomes. Lower probability of getting fired and riding the steep (financial/learning) curve of buyside roles. Burke

+6 Ok, great questions. Keep them coming. Here are my answers: Themaster441
