Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

0 Some purists will say only undergrad counts. For all intents and purposes, if you have a legit grad degree (PHD, Law, MBA, Medical), you can call yourself an alum and most people won't bat an eye. Nobody Man
0 This. Social affiliations have more to do with individual long-term socialization than an institution someone has been in for maybe 2-3 years?  PEPrincess
0 guy throwing monkey poop is the one who did it lmao Mr. Moe
0 Legitimately go fuck yourself  Associate 3 in IB - Gen
0 Wharton is much easier to get into than HYP rooseveltfan
0 I doubt the traineeship will be front office right away. MiM/MiF at hec parigi/escp/bocconi plus the exec master at Geneva might be a good idea down the line if you feel like you need a more solid signal.  Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
0 Samuel Bennett (the jew) on tiktok Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
0 When I was looking for my next gig, I applied to 10+ different cities.  I always lied and said I had a brother living there and it allowed me to be closer to family. They can’t fact check you on it lmao. Intern in IB - Gen
0 Don't listen to this kid. Look at his past comments, he's butthurt he wasn't accepted there so he's shitting on ESCP. The MiM is a great program and very well ranked.  Intern in IB-M&A

0 Disclaimer that I haven't worked at CVP but people I know have interviewed / have worked there Look, every bank is pretty much the same shit bar a few differences.  Prospect in IB - Gen
0 Scotiabank far and wide. Just look at their previous experiences all terrible and majority low-mid women Prospect in RE - Other
0 Intense nerds, they're pretty brand whore-y for undergrad/b-school/prior IB or PE shop even among the brand whore-y funds out there, which I guess they can afford to be. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs

0 Just a student so take my advice with a grain of saltCommodities Dymystified I think is a great 80 or so page primer by Trafigura if you don't really get the layout of the game.  Substack_Guy
0 What energy product do you trade? What are your structurers/origs backgrounds? None of mine have ever been traders. Two of mine come from non energy backgrounds, one was a banker. Tandem21
0 're moving into the MM (Mid-Market) space from a Big 4 or larger bank, one of the biggest technical risks you'll face is jurisdictional compliance. grant.mitchell
0 Yes. How exactly would you like it if 10 years into your career someone makes a weird post about you on an anonymous message board? Associate 2 in IB-M&A
0 Also the 10-20 seats include global markets, corporate banking etc, there's only like 4-6 IB roles per firm newtestingsss
0 It's over. MarcBahamas
0 Ross is more prestigious than Northwestern? What world are you living in LOL Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
0 Top students will find their way to place no matter what school they go to Kids from Concordia have landed Blackstone before VP in PE - LBOs
0 Hopelessly naive take. You are assuming this is the worst of it. London bombings and 9/11 were one-time things in each of those places. therealgekko
0 Clearlake (Clearlake) omygcqmqewkaosgdbn
0 Prestige is not placement. That's why you don't see people saying Stern and Cornell are more prestigious that Brown. Michigan is a fine/great school, but it is at the end of the day a top tier state school. rooseveltfan
0 Everyone is choosing Ross over Stern brother, but congrats on NYU. Please use your other accounts for those self silver bananas lol Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
0 Who is everyone? I mean be honest with yourself was there anyone you knew at umich that got into stern besides maybe in-state kids paying 20k a year? & I don't go to stern. rooseveltfan
0 re moving into the MM (Mid-Market) space from a larger bank, one of the biggest culture shocks is the compliance friction. grant.mitchell
0 How are u liking NYU bro? There are no stern kids in top groups brother Ross blows them out of the water. Ross is universally regarded as the better program and it’s not close lol. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
0 I wouldn’t. Analyst programs in PE are stupid. Get drinks with 13-25 of your same-age compatriots at Brass Monkey or something after a long week / month in an analyst program at a bank instead. flipcup
0 Nice try to frame me while you are the one whining. Just shows how entitled you DEI Beckies are. DEI streams will compensate for everything except work ethic which is what you and your kind lack. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
0 Don't top PE analysts end up getting the best jobs though? Like the most coveted HF seats and such? Intern in PE - LBOs
0 I think it is a move to pressure China using the crude markets Mike_wacczowski76
0 Get on a rocketship early where you have great prospects of being promoted. You'll have carry in more funds, more carry overall in your career, higher returns to be carrying from in the first place, etc. flipcup
0 How do you leave a good impression? Any tips eric13
0 Israel expansion eastward? Why don’t you take a look at a map and let me know where you think this war is going to allow them to expand. hipp0
0 I think the diversity part has to do with colleges recognizing that if you only allow a certain demographic to be admitted and as a result, upwardly mobile then it demotivates the rest of the population. AnonymousMonkious
0 When an old pal of Trump, Kieran whispered into his ears, urging him to go to the Middle East- it was solely for one reason: Kieran couldn’t get a job at the Pizza shop right next to where he lives because he is mentally s davidgoodies123

0 ou're taking the Series 79, don't just focus on the test—focus on where you're going to hang that license once you pass. jasper.thorne1
0 're looking for stability in the M&A affiliation space, the 'State-Line Trap' (Rule 2040) is the biggest risk to your success fees. jasper.thorne1
0 Why are you asking WSO for dating advice. This girl is not necessarily hooking up with other men, could be a number of reasons. wsomonkey.123
0 Going to have to disagree with what other people here are saying, not fully, but I definitely don't agree with all the advice people are sharing. Intern in IB - Cov

0 If you wear a suit on a trading floor you might as well say goodbye to any hopes of a return offer. Exceptions: final/capstone presentation day, and if you magically are asked to meet clients JamieDimonkey
0 TPG as a company overall is on a pretty steep downwards trajectory in terms of prestige, comp, perks etc. It will only get worse. Associate 1 in PE - Other
0 Congrats on Scotiabank! Prospect in IB-M&A
0 Why do ETA if they have an IB/PE background? Your opportunity cost is so high. Might as well go bigger and do an independent sponsor model. Am I missing something here? AnonymousMonkious
0 Congrats on HW. HW, Baird, and HL (M&A) are absolutely not doing large deals on average if ever; the entire business model revolves around doing sell-side MM deals. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
0 If I was a billionaire and could pay for a place on the upper east side and pay for the conveniences and certain levels of opulance that NYC offers, NYC>Dallas. kiltedlowlander

0 I feel like PWP is too high for M&A and EVR/CVP/Rothschild RX is all missing. Ardea should be here if you are adding LionTree.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov

0 Nah just that your activity is that of a maniac lmao. You do nothing but comment on school posts, clearly insecure about your Alma mater. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 You didn't go to either of the schools in this thread, nor edhec, essec, Imperial, IE, Bocconi etc but here we are :)  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 Just wanted to mention how helpful your newsletters have been. Thank you.  serendipity123
0 It’s all a bunch of marketing bullshit they say to sound sophisticated. The only X factor in banking is a managing director’s rolodex. Prospect in IB-M&A
0 Congrats on LAZ bro lol Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
0 work hard!! Works at Morgan Stanley
0 Disorganized and a full rebuild thus no deal flow overlord481216
0 So both locations are just pitch-heavy shops rn? Is there an opportunity to start there and lateral or would you have just so little experience kme6305
0 Pls learn how to correctly use a comma, colon, semicolon, how to correctly use a hyphen, how to correctly use the word 'and', and basic grammar. Thx. VP in IB-M&A
0 What do you mean? We have quite a few people and analysts working, around 80 I believe  cha.chimp
0 WSO didn't consider UBS a BB for a long time LockedIn Bezos
0 Despite the shills for NYU on this forum it’s not viewed as impressive/prestigious at all. Associate 2 in IB-M&A

0 As someone who is 3 years into corp dev at a utility, I must just be lucky.  jl12
0 Some combination of Harvard and Oxford imo Donkey from Shrek
0 Someone makes this post every 3 months, and here we are, ~4 years in, and AI is essentially still a toy with no financially viable use cases. Ozymandia
0 fordham and run Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
0 To ask what "the meaning of life is" would be to imply an answer of only one thing. By saying "points of life", I am allowing for multiple answers. Hoe. yomamasuckdisdick
0 I don't cover credit, so this is not an informed view. I think it's worth joining as there will always be a place for junior capital, irrespective of whatever's going on in software. Associate 1 in AM - Other
0 L megafund. Smells like the failing Carlyle Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
0 Florida is a great place to be, and Tampa is awesome, but like the other guy said, I think you'd find more job opportunities in South Florida, even in areas like Boca or Delray even. fillerm
0 Investment professionals are dumb and have no aura. Hope that helps Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
0 All jokes aside this may be a harder decision than you might think, because is UBS really doing any deals? Probably not so doing corporate banking wouldn’t be that different, and it would be at a better name. Analyst0910
0 Candidly it will be extremely challenging. At the analyst level, it is all about undergrad and gpa. Anonymous Monkey
0 Carlyle gets this comparison a lot but it's not really fair. They're a top-tier megafund by AUM and deal volume — the platform is massive and the deal flow is real. Alpha Stack
0 This seems like a FO - looking to syndicate private market deals. I'd be shocked if you got more than $150k Salary and $50k to $75k guaranteed bonus. EightAceTres

0 Not sure why my comments are deleted by mod… James' Bond
0 $355K all-in at a corporate for 9-7 hours is a strong offer — don't overthink the title. You're right that most ex-IB PE juniors land $180-250K, but those are fund roles with carry upside and worse hours. Alpha Stack
0 In general, at your stage of life, you should show a strong preference for roles that will develop transferable skills and maximize your future earnings and optionality. AnonymousWSO3
