+1 Laz Chi typically handles unsecured creditors while HL Chi is debtor/secured creditor wallstreetgoat201

+1 I’d stay FAR away Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 The lad is there to learn not clip pay check  davani1420
+1 Fully agree. No way are MM hours 'chiller', usually tends to be more pitching, higher sponsor deal volume in LMM / MM and more 'eat what you kill' senior pay structures whereby MDs are much more motivated to close stuff. Analyst 2 in PE - Other

+1 Am I understanding right that many pods shorted the staples earlier this year and their earrings / price held strong as lots of money rotated to these defensive / resilient sectors so many pods are unwinding their position Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+1 My HR 3 Hazel_Parkery
+1 Neither of your current options would lead to IB. They're academically all solid but you need a generic master in finance or management with a strong brand name plus internships. Intern in RE - Res
+1 Dude I went to a board school and I know plenty of hypsm  and Dartmouth and Wharton kids who play lax since high school together and than when it comes to time to recruit they place lights out. Intern in ER
+1 Where did you see this? Starting in Aug and haven't heard anything lol Prospect in Consulting

+1 Agreed and the latest QQQ move kinda proves the point. FinanceGirlieee
+1 Realistically for interns they’re just checking dates (if at all). More broadly though, if there’s bullets on your CV that you can’t reasonably defend in an interview, I would probably get rid of them… Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Former NYC RX banker here who did not work at HL or Lazard. Lot of misinformation here. Investment Analyst in HF - Other

+1 UBS stock up 38% in last year lmao  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 I think Jefferies RX is a strong group, but I'd evaluate it based on the type of work you want rather than trying to rank it by prestige alone. Amelia F
+1 Without knowing your return hurdles or timeline, if you can be patient, it feels like we are in a trough of values for Sunbelt multifamily new construction. CRESF
+1 I think many MM banks like Lincoln will slash return offers due to a combination of weaker deal pipelines + AI Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Yes it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that’s what he’s alluding to VP in RE - Comm

+1 Lacrosse segway pipeline finance  wuandale33
+1 Sounds like he is blowing up PM in HF - RelVal
+1 Extremely inaccurate, the entire law firm would be broke from fines from being held in contempt, and most would lose their clients due to breach.  CPMA's15

+1 i do zen meditation summediocre
+1 A wise choice in my opinion. Only thing I’d add is that for the duration of med school you’ll need to maintain the same drive that propelled you to IB. HowlerMonkey
+1 Didn't read all this but posting this seems like a bad idea, can't imagine that many offers were given from LG analyst program so feels like you're probably doxxing yourself... Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+1 I agree with the comment above. Independent sponsor path is hard, but at least offers very compelling economics and entrepreneurial energy once you start closing good deals. riverpaint
+1 I can attest to all of this. They are extremely frustrating to work with, unprofessional, and offer absolutely no personal connection. LoneWolf09
+1 Worked at a similar firm in the space and this 100%. Lots of deal exposure which is great but it’s a lot of ‘narrative building’ vs. hard analysis. usernameless
+1 Both terrible but Alexander Chapman is exponentially worse than Pinpoint Amazon Prime
+1 that wasn't an option in the poll steroidmonkey
+1 We’re literally the only team I know that does this at scale if I’m being honest, and even then, the Senior PM and my direct PM are the ones who have this strategy and are quite close…so I’ve ended up becoming more macro a Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+1 It's wild how unforgiving the automod is with certain keywords (even when those keywords barely make sense and/or are misinterpreted) but the bot is totally chill with constant spam.  CRE

+1 Lincoln M&A is PE shop. PE not selling. Growth in VOG rn (Pretty much 100% return for VOG). Associate Consultant in Consulting

+1 Anyone hear back after 3R? eaopfaepof

+1 Q is pretty sweaty but obviously great - super hard to get in here. Allen is a really cool firm and is on some of the best deals, only thing is return offers here are pretty bad. Liontree does cool deals too. Any 2 IB - Cov.
+1 Don't think that's true. I left Bain a year ago and while I was there the policy was to match McKinsey. Typically BCG leads comp increases, McKinsey matches, then Bain matches McKinsey. Works at Bain & Company

+1 i read his shit and its garbage… its just regurgitating bottlenecks any decent research person knew in the valley - nothing novel. if you read his shit and think its genius then you fit right into the AI slop crowd Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 That's because of how many landmark tech m&a deals there are now compared to back then. Q is a small firm (by headcount) and doesn't have the capacity to work on all of them, and companies know that donttry098
+1 luck from “awareness” hmmm… well someone wasnt really aware of their luck in the last few days Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Agree with everything above. Not worth it man. Do a semester early at most (stretch it to a year if you get an offer & are bored of school). Was in a similar position. dogwater79

+1 a lil booger sugar keeps the sleepies at bay  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 If you’re a first or second year analyst and have some GP-led reps we’d probably give you a look and reset you 1 year. At the associate level we wouldn’t. Generic Banker
+1 All the named groups are solid, although they are more niche. If you’re genuinely interested in the subsector, you can definitely make a strong exit given that you’re a good candidate. Prospect in IB-M&A
