0 Unless you’re super certain of what you’re looking for (e.g., UMM/MF PE in NY only), probably makes more sense to just wait. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
0 3.1 at EB/MS/GS . It’s not impossible . Incoming Analyst in IB - Cov

0 By definition, if you are in a HF seat by mid-30s, you’re probably at least $5M+. You’ve outlasted most peers and still have a job. For some context, I think 70-80% of net worth is generated 30-35. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
0 Stern is too low Intern in IB-M&A
