+1 I think he liked it WockySlush
+1 Houston return rate is very high. Across banks it seems to be 95% Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Was paid 400-500 in MF PE and for the past few years have been in the 500-1M range. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge

+1 - simplifiedclap
+1 Bloodbath out there today Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Normal BB VP salary or a BofA VP salary? That's the difference between a top and mid tier neighborhood... yijocar279
+1 WF is paradise because they don’t let everyone in. It’s like soho house or raya - once they started letting in lames they went to shit.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+1 My group had 50% ro. Feeling really dejected . Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 Works at Bank of America Merrill LynchHe wasn’t good so it’s fine. I believe someone told me he hadn’t announced anything since coming from MS Intern in PE - LBOs
+1 50% in mine as well, some shocking cuts Intern in IB - Cov
+1 WF got fucked Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, Boston College (BC) is likely your best bet among the Boston-area MSF programs for breaking into corporate finance or potentially IB/PE. Here's why: WSO Monkey Bot
+1 No return offers, no deal flow, congrats on UBS! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Kid I have been in contact with informed me he did not get it for Levfin. Tough situation.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Honestly I wouldn’t even go as far in saying this. Some top interns who showed tremendous growth and were hard workers got cut. They took average,stagnant interns over top interns who made a mistake or two. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 For a finance role specifically real estate in NYC, the answer is NYU MSRE finance investment track. Assist. VP in IB - Gen
+1 GIG & FIG were 90%+ Intern in IB - Cov
+1 What were the biggest differentiating factors in those that got it and those that didn’t? Also were the top groups (FIG, industrials, etc) also as brutal?  Incoming_IB_Intern
+1 if your team likes you (which i assume they do if your lack of return offer was not due to performance) ask for some intros! Analyst 1 in AM - FI
+1 Enjoy your senior year, unemployment is going to be brutal when you graduate. intern_391023809213
+1 Del Intern in IB - Gen
+1 nobody at JPM or any bank for that matter is gong to listen to your back office uncle to hire Cock McBallFace out of Unkown State University with a 3.6 GPA lmao. Have fun in audit  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Shocking. Especially given that wells has historically had high return offer rates excelandchill
+1 Feedback made no sense Intern in IB - Cov
+1 What kind of unprofessionalism did they display? Was it just basic manners, or attention span or basic respect?  ChimpChimpchimpChimpChimp
+1 It actually makes sense. I worked across their Houston office a couple of times. It's a solid office, but they have a huge intern class of ~10 people. Some better Houston banks like JPM/EVR only hire 7/8 interns Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Congrats on UBS! Tulaner
+1 Yes. It will give a stamp of approval and experience in a corpo setting plus some decent bonuses to fund your next adventure Xhamster02
+1 not true, no idea why you posted this Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 I heard from my friend that also applied this year (psychology major moving to finance) that he got told from admissions that most the courses were capped this year - could that be why? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 My only advice is that unless there is a contractual agreement, there is in effect no agreement. I would not be expecting the role at this point in time. foxtrot_1
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov GOI983
+1 any word on M&A? Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 I only need argus / excel / email tbh I find costar useless credev99
+1 i went to an EB and now working at a HF. i can educate your stupid ass that bankng is retarded Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Octus CreditAI Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+1 did not intern here but this is also what I heard. one mistake got you cut throwaway2727273
+1 Same situation man, don’t let this be a reflection of yourself. This is just a job, and those are just their opinions at the end of the day. We gotta prove them wrong Intern in IB-M&A
+1 Have heard from Lincoln folks that VPs and above get decent economics, but they also recently got recapped or acquired by Stone Point. 8.43 13.5
+1 I didn’t get a return offer from my internship. caffeinated_finance
+1 Imo the most time consuming part of the application process is the GMAT/GRE. You already have that out of the way there's no downside to applying now. Prospect in Consulting
+1 Analyst 2 in IB - Cov RandomMonkey0628
+1 People out here thinking BXSP and Ardian are raising $20bn+ funds for new strategies… Generic Banker
+1 At least Houston is fine. They hired 15+ interns and most got return offers SMU Final Boss
+1 If the ABC pants are close enough (likely yes), I think they can be machine washed or even hand washed to make them last longer. eBay has some better deals compared to full price at the Lulu store.  SaaSChimp
+1 Thats not how real life works bro Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Guggenheim Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Really sorry to hear this brother. But no time to lament now. As Alex hormozi says the world does not care. It will never care. But do so much work that is unreasonable for you to not win. Investment Analyst in IB - Gen
+1 as expected, my fund shut down though I honestly think my boss did that to clear the deck without actually firing me (and a few others). I bet he's at it again in a new form in a year or two. Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 I just interned at wells too and didn’t get a return offer. My group only gave out 50%. Shitty feeling. Summer Analyst
+1 Not cooked, need to get cranking on the FT grind around late August or September when return offers are signed and firms are looking to top up headcount in new grad class based on yield rate. JamieDimonkey
+1 You mean why do the people who work together, upwards of 12 hours per day, also hang out with each other the most? Yeah, just doesn’t make sense. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 If you are looking to be on the investment side of CRE then it could make sense to do the AM position at the REIT. However, it seems that position is very niche. KingROD1
+1 Some kids came up with total nonsense, but still managed to present their way into offers. The staffers don't evaluate your excel or ppt. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+1 With a comment like that I know you work at Blue Owl. All those guys have the biggest hogs  Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+1 I’d do the banking route. Working on deals is a better first experience compared to AM. You will have a solid brand on your resume when you want to go hop to another gig. Skilled nursing too niche IMO. larry david
+1 Than there’s a guy like me watching you in my freetime spiral on this form making 100x you sipping and drinking almost every day. There’s levels to this lil bro  Intern in ER
+1 Hi iguanasausage
+1 Agree you should start formal while you observe. Note that what you're allowed to wear is also related to how well you pull it off. Super fit/attractive people get more leeway. v31665
+1 Based on this, I'd say there are pros and cons of both. The AM role is AM but it's a niche asset class, so you'll have to think if you're good with doing that. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 A VPN/IP piercer that would detect and block any content encountered on the web that's been produced and circulated by users from 3rd world countries. Make it happen and you'll be rich beyond your wildest dreams.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+1 Moelis is still the best shop in LA, PWP in second place, and then the likes of Santander, Guggenheim, BofA following behind IBPE
+1 From what I’ve heard, coatue is not chill. A lot of work and pressure to grind. Plus an up or out culture investor45
+1 When you call someone retarded repeatedly, it means you have no other argument. Intern in ER
+1 An1 in coverage, heard from friends that return rates were 50-60% across groups and offices. Not sure what happened but seems to be a bloodbath at a lot of firms this year Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Yeah lol, if it were entry level in a LCOL or MLCOL city, it would be reasonable ballpark comp. For Chicago w/ 3+ YOE, that’s ridiculous. TheFunkyMunky
+1 Guy’s probably a first year analyst, it’ll wear off after his PM draws down 5% and he’s staring down the barrel of no bonus Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+1 You're way too young to be concerned with pigeon holing yourself. I work at WF and I've seen this play out year after year with analysts and associates. Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+1 My friend in the CLT office said it was 50% across all groups Intern in IB-M&A
+1 I guess anyone who isn't a white or asian male is DEI. LlamaSun
+1 no1. don't be naive, this is not the time anonymnous
+1 can’t comment on Toronto but the U.S. team is very good. Very sharp folks and very hands on Associate 1 in PE - Other
+1 Apparently work product was everything. If you made a single mistake at any point you got dinged. Intern in IB-M&A
+1 The truth of the matter is you get discriminated against voraciously for being apart of the group that created this country + western civilization. Need to take our country back and then our industry. fucktwitter
+1 You guys are saving money? I thought we were all buying Rollies and Hermes ties (like that WSJ article told me I had to have to look cool) ImagineSisyphusHappy
+1 PM > VV. Although some of your waspy northeast coworkers would appreciate VV for nostalgic reasons. Intern in IB - Gen
+1 It's very easy. The competition is weak. Return rates were ~50-75% for most groups. Person below is lying or is not at UBS. If you have a decent attitude and do okay work, you will likely get a return. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 Given very established firm (not first time fund), none. Career/brand risk is low, so they don’t need carry to attract talent.  SaaSChimp
+1 Yes retard. No one with a brain thinks letting women of any color get a seat just because of their chromosomal structure is productive.  fucktwitter
+1 This was my first impression but perhaps I am wildly out of touch.  I was making $40k / year and I don't consider myself that old.  I think after two years was up to $55k / year. Esque_
+1 Let's immigrate to a country to work inside their financial system just to exclude the native there. Great idea!  chickennugget801
+1 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 And there it is again. Thanks for proving my point. Intern in ER
+1 Yeah… expect 0 lol VP in PE - LBOs
+1 “Thoughts on how this will affect the financial markets?” - this is a joke right? IRR you ready to rumble
+1 Best bank for getting the A2A promote? UBS. Everyone with a pulse that wants to stay get's the A2A because nobody wants to stay. Worst bank for a long-term career in banking? UBS. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 This is just sad OrdellRobbie
+1 I’ve been told to hardcode valuations before, and when I asked for clarification “just make it look reasonable” OrdellRobbie
+1 Definitely so of the more specialized boutiques, especially as they pay a ton. Raine Liontree Allen Tidal Dyal Any 2 IB - Cov.
+1 Hours later and you're still thinking about me? Cute. Go touch some grass, champ. Intern in ER
+1 PCA is hot and you are most likely joining a growing team in a platform that is already running. As a VP you will leverage a hopefully strong junior team and support strong MDs. That’s it. Don’t overthink. VP in IB - Cov
+1 the irl "i want to work at the goldman sachs" XD anonymnous
+1 touch grass GS under Blankfein
+1 out next week BofA starts and ends internship a week later than other banks Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 Sad reality buddy. You just quite literally didn’t cut it. Collect your loses and move on. You can frame a story around why you moved to a mm quite easily…. Figure it out and stop whining like a little baby….. f1keymonster
+1 bump. what were the interviews like? parkeranger
+1 Satellites are a solid way to get into big tournaments. I’d focus on single-table qualifiers and grind those. Good luck with the Bahamas prep. Mixoponop
+1 Have heard some chatter that the recent wave of junior / mid-level attrition is due in part to an uncertain succession plan as the co-founders wind down. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Wouldn’t recommend this. Not because I think it’s wrong, but because the risks far outweigh the rewards. Just_Wanna_Mog
