+1 ‘Kept sleeping with him?’ Lol I slept with him only one time. We didn’t sleep on the third date. A three date timeline with sex once isn’t a ‘pattern of intolerance’, it’s a vetting process followed by a hard pass. Anonymous Monkey
+1 Just wanted to chime in and concur, as this is something I've seen when I was in RX IB as well. PM in HF - Other
+1 Yes also asking for a friend pajero
+1 Above user is wrong.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 I think Connaught was doing venture only, looks like that team went over to Eaton. Not sure the story though.  m8
+1 The only teams still actively doing directs are the ones you alluded to above - infra/NR/real estate/credit. PE now sits under growth equity / allocation to other funds. Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 I've noticed it's talked about a lot more than ever before but I still have not seen many people in my network actually make the move unless they are pushed out.  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 haha, no too old for that.  I got while the gettin' was still relatively good for MBA's.  different time asmith_1
+1 the long post above covers the differentiation angle well. the part I'd add is where philosophy actually costs you, which is technicals. OFFERGOBLIN
+1 apply broadly, applications are cheap. twenty minutes each and you can't predict which group has a headcount gap in January. OFFERGOBLIN
+1 I always found that to be idiotic. I've shared my resources on community forums including this one. And never once did I feel the desire to type sht like "type coffee for my coffee chat guide". FinnesseGod
+1 Jayhoovy is a bit of a quirky dude because he brings in random grifters like Jay Shetty onto his Youtube videos. But his takes on how he's running his business feels genuine. Business School in CorpStrat
+1 .  Thepostman
+1 Gorilla mind pretty low. For having the most nootropics on this list werollin
+1 Pretty sure he was an intern at Rothschild and didn’t get return offer  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Without trying to patronise you bro, please look up what a Vocation is. You don't necessarily need to be religious etc finance1441
+1 They're brokers dude. You're already overthinking this way too much.  Works at Jones Lang LaSalle
+1 perfect WSOBURNER69.
+1 I see where you’re coming from. My current shop is not reputable, it’s family office with a struggling situation and no name recognition, but it’s given me good experience ebitdonut
+1 Not a fan of Ukrainians Pierogi Equities
+1 Sometimes infuriates me how lucky some people are. Founder defo had connections, insane of Lazard to sign as first client. We have used it at my bank for over a year, it was awful. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Anonymous Monkey: Bro I need to work at WF what the hell Paradise Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Aight nobody reading that… regardless of party affiliation  VP in PE - LBOs
+1 BMOAN1~$70kTop acac152530
+1 It’s possible. Would suggest you making a list of all LMM boutiques (10-50 employees) across US and hit them up SMU Final Boss
+1 Literally has nothing to do with me? People that are good at is are obsessed. They think they can make money even when they lose and people tell them the odds are stacked against them. lake_michigan
+1 Simple examples: Long crude is short rates, short copper is long rates.  Long AMZN was short M/JWN during the e-comm vs b&m wars. These are thematic, cross sectional factors that are time varying. longandshort
+1 Oh hello fellow straight, normally-adjusted male. apol78690
+1 The comment Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Not direct experience but have looked at deals with them. I would say the impression is not of particularly arrogant persons - clearly relatively speaking, we’re still talking about PE AND French people… swiss_monkey
+1 I don’t think  accountability matters here. Intern in ER
+1 Current Principal in CorpDev here in a PE PortCo and can confirm numbers here. Sponsor probably exiting in 1-2 years and looking to cash out $1m. Principal in CorpDev
+1 Think the crux of the matter is that ppl are comparing rx to vanilla sponsor backed sell side M&A hence why they get the circle jerk. The truth is public M&A is just as if not more technical  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Develop taste and surround yourself with those who have taste. To develop taste you gotta stop succumbing to peer pressure. Then comes finding the way you like to do things. pbandjpartners
+1 Most people say something along the lines of confronting her, stopping her behavior, looping in authority, etc… pbandjpartners
+1 With respect, lake_michigan is making a key point: the people with whom you are in competition do not believe this is “just a job”. Successful traders can’t turn it off. Seak
+1 Was in a similar place. Felt the same way (minus pay). Principal in HF - Other
+1 Fair point, for sure. But I feel like that’s a given. It’s just a person. If someone’s gonna grind there ass of to get into a T10 in HS then they overall take the game of life seriously. fTheVix
+1 Thanks for the reply, appreciate the insights. achilles_
+1 Heard Santander paid ~100% can anyone confirm this? Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 They already gave out a few offers to people who have been networking for a while loudest_safe
+1 Move internally Dolla Bill Stern
+1 Needs to be in Frutiger Light  also UBS not in the top 20, plz fix Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Why would businesses being significantly more sophisticated mean there's alpha in a segment? Honest question, because typically it's the opposite. kuf135
+1 I felt similarly. You're more ready than you think. This business is behavioural as much as it is intellectual. Emerging Monkey EMBA
+1 Currently at a London based shop doing acquisitions and understand the feeling - very hard to make deals work at the moment. It’s also a really tough fundraising environment. Works at Prestige Worldwide
+1 Seems like consensus is to wait for the VP promote. Would this change if the path to the VP title was much longer? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Yes - they're typically senior PMs with more leeway on drawdowns, but they're rarer. Ime, it can take some work to get into those conversations, but pretty interesting once you get there.  Emerging Monkey EMBA
+1 It's not a valid reaction. You women need a spine. Constantly placating everyone's feelings. He is a clown. Coconut1983
+1 That was a joke not an insult, but clearly we have a different vibe so that's okay. Investment Analyst in PE - LBOs
+1 lol haven’t seen it but that just describes 90% of Northwestern Mutual VP in RE - Other
+1 everything will be ok. Anyone from the outside sees how this is BS. Keep documentation of everything, especially of when you reported the issues earlier  investmentspanker
+1 I said f*ck it a month ago and quit IBD. Now building an app in consumer AI. Let’s see what happens. One can always go back to being an excel monkey Works at Barclays
+1 Depends heavily on the fund size, stage. soneyson
+1 Thanks for your perspective.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+1 Buy-side PM background is actually pretty solid for IR, especially on the PE / alternatives side. Corporate IR will also look at it, but the LP / capital formation roles usually value it more. soneyson
+1 TBH, it was a bit of I reached out to another person on the team, who I think probably had a word with the manager. And then when I finally reached out again, it was a bit easier. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Eastdil will hire anyone with prior work experience, it’s not a pedigree contest at all. There’s far fewer candidates than you think. [email protected]
+1 Know what they do before the chat so you’re not asking boring questions and be normal and likable. Seriously you don’t need anything more than that. [email protected]
+1 yikes those UK salaries are unfortunate. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 HLRX is a different animal... RubiconFlame
+1 Should’ve clarify — I am in LevFin cap markets…it’s different from origination and it’s a syndication function. Feels like a career black hole Business School in IB-M&A
+1 Yes but I would say maybe 30-40% of the aum is deployed in that area and the returns are excellent. Rest is dogshit Senior VP in PE - Other
+1 Passing is invisible. Failing is very visible. Thunder46
+1 You get whatever product you get assigned to; and you tend to stick there, mastering it takes 3 years minimum & eventually trade that product if you stay long enough… unless you find a new internship company to change go_ok
+1 Yes. Re-recruiting could have left me with no IB job. UBS still pays street or close to it if you are top-bucket and there are still good exits if you are top bucket. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Don’t disclose it, it doesn’t matter. I got the diagnosis during my IB stint for similar reasons. It didn’t matter to any of my employers. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 Sponsors is the lifestyle group Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 nobody gives a fuck Prospect in HF - Other
+1 If your end goal is London MF PE, I'd probably prioritize Oxford, LSE, and LBS. Once you're at a top BB/EB, your deal experience will matter far more than which MFin you attended. catherine2
+1 As always, you will find more here: LevFin Lab #10 — Debt Docs Decoded: Covenants, Baskets, Cre LevFin Lab Newsletter
+1 Agreed - best of luck to all of us and hope some of these senior boomers start to retire and make some space VP in PE - LBOs
+1 I can give you the MO to FO half of that directly, since I watched it happen a handful of times across my banks. themiddleofficeinsider
+1 Yes, I went back to the same team I was in before. I kept in touch with them and they invited me to go back as a VP (was an Associate when I left PE). VP in IB - Cov
+1 Cambridge MPhil Finance heavily underrated here, had top notch outcomes the last years MoneyMaker1999
+1 It’s called ADA….. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Hey, I’m currently at Teneo and have had a very positive experience. I really enjoy the work and the culture; the team is collaborative, supportive, and focused on growth. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+1 Great list! I'd also suggest adding iQlance Solutions to the list. iqlancecanada
+1 ^^^ agree with this. HD WAM is getting you past any academic hurdle, probably won't get asked for ATAR. VanillaMan24
+1 People outside the industry often have strong opinions without really understanding how the work functions. It can definitely get exhausting trying to explain or justify it in casual settings. elsizinie939
+1 Only "edge" I have ever actually seen translate to alpha/dollars was personal relationships partners had in a specific industry that allowed them to get ahead of things on the sourcing side  Mr Balloon Hands
+1 From my experience my hardest interviews were PJT and PWP. Both RX teams. Got raped. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I believe what was stated above is true; however, just slightly revising.  Manager in CorpFin
+1 Yes, $120k base for new BAs Prospect in Consulting
