Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+6 Assuming you mean front office in my response. Note there are plenty of Corp Dev opportunities across tech, healthcare, and industrials. VP in CB
+6 Going to go against the grain here, but do you actually know what ECM does? Would strongly suggest you just ask the ecm juniors of the deal you’re working on what their day to day looks like.  Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+6 Unless it's some major surprise (fraud, a deal out of the left field, etc.) you should ideally be prepared for the range of outcomes for your premkt news... if it's earnings, you have your bear, base, bull cases.. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+6 Actual strategy and learning. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+6 Agree.   hurts your ability to originate stressed opps in public markets? Hmm. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Intern in PE - LBOs
+6 There was equal economics to Moelis and WF on this. The prestige circlejerking on WSO from prospects and insecure juniors who base their entire self-worth on the tier of their bank has to stop. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 nvm we back throaway56784
+6 I think you're underestimating how US-centric NY finance is. I've worked in NY for 5 years and I've heard of LSE a few times in passing and UCL maybe once. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+6 “it seems the common sentiment is in 18 months all of this will be automated away by some Claude agent” Common where? LinkedIn posts?  IsItREPE
+6 The LLM bubble is going to pop sometime 2H 2027 - 1Q 2029. This is going to cause a recession. This recession is going to hit software companies hard because they will have already been beaten down by this LLM FUD. jl12
+6 As a late-20s professional paying rent in one of the highest cost-of-living markets in the U.S., I can relate to your frustrations. confused underwriting monkey
+6 (1) This was implied in my comment but I will make it explicit here. jl12
+6 OP - what's the specific role you are taking? If it's on the investment side, in an area/asset class that you are interested in - it would be good hands on experience, as those seats are hard to find. i.e. Addinator
+6 Well I mean I'm not in social media but the first thing I would ask is what is your channel about, are you the brand or are you seperate, what is the runway like for your content? Gold-ManSacks
+6 I work at cvp and that 30% number is total bull - they include buyside M&A fees and other stuff a that are counted in that (PEP, JCI, HON, TR, others) VP in IB-M&A
+6 Go back to comments from 8-12 years ago on this site.  No one thought it was a golden age.  Everyone thought the 80s and 90s were the golden age. Ozymandia
+6 I'll make a few points here usernameladiesman217
+6 Three Options: Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 I was at CS, which became UBS, and then left. I honestly have no idea what UBS plans to do with their US investment bank. Too many of the heavy hitters have left and have not been replaced. Too much uncertainty. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 If you are a salaried 25-35 year old guy in EU/UK, you are the schmuck. You are the one funding the entire system. Slaydeth
+6 Here's the facts as I see them for US employers:  SaaSChimp
+6 I can echo this as well as someone who has worked with senior CVP bankers fairly soon after they left that bank. I also have junior / mid friends who worked there who seemed to confirm my understanding. Hags28
+6 Is the strong pedigree also from an LO style HF? Benson Says
+6 I think it comes down to what your philosophy on what a PE "business" is. Founders think they are on par with owning a factory, that they own something that runs itself. Principal in PE - LBOs
+6 Ignore title: was top bucket An1 and am now An2. If you want to lateral, easiest timing is 1-year in post your bonus as opposed to so early into the first-year. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Let me start off by admitting I have a bias against LO analysts making the jump to MM HFs. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+6 There is no quick path. I think going into VC would still be a decently long slog as it takes time to earn, vest, and realize carried interest. johnny-mnemonic
+6 What's the best way for beginners to get reps in?  chrisclark32
+6 This isn’t profound, but it’s all about your own network. I have people I’m friends with who work in real estate who work at MFs that have asked me to interview for openings even though I know 0 about real estate. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+6 But do you know the best app development company for professionalizing your gooning needs while keeping GDPR compliance? I am based in Moldova and trying to build an OnlyFans competitor for the Indonesian market.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+6 I have college buds at UBS trying to lateral to Baird…pick WF Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+6 I will state my very low stakes uses of AI so far. I am interested in how others use it even if its tiny stuff, it does not need to be groundbreaking, just useful. VP in RE - Other
+6 AI has raised senior expectations faster than the AI capabilities juniors get Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+6 Healthcare always has decent volume, a lot of big strategics looking to transact and then all sorts of PEs across ticket sizes and very different sector tastes. Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+6 Since its agreed that MM pods are fairly PM dependent, I can share my experience that got me into a merger arb / fundamental special sits MM pod during an earlier portion of my career: Hags28
+6 So...complain they don't integrate, then complain when they do. Got it investmenttbanking
+6 Your experience is not abnormal, especially if you aren’t coming from a banking background. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+6 No offense, but this was not helpful in the slightest and made zero sense in the context of OP’s question. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+6 At first glance, they do appear to be an added fee layer but do make sense for the right group of LPs.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+6 Escp MiM by a big margin. They place really well in London, especially italians who go there, which gives a strong network to target. Plus you get the UK graduate visa for off cycles.  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+6 I agree it's harder to go from early stage / growth to buyout than vice versa. If you wanted to max out optionality, I'd still go for buyout. But I would double check the deal velocity as some of these places - e.g. VP in PE - LBOs
+6 There are a few different points mixed together there, and they’re worth separating. WSOBURNER69
+6 Retarded ranking boib_1
+6 I'm aware this might be a troll post but I can make some points that might be useful broadly (and maybe it is not a troll post). Count WACCula
+6 This thread is absurdly inaccurate and several of the above comments are retarded, or outdated at a minimum. Don’t let people get you down. IU places very well. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+6 I can relate with how my first interactions were with the bank in the early - mid 2010s. I found the bank back then to be kinda cultish / fratty and kinda arrogant in their own world. Hags28
+6 WM side not too happy they have to subsidize IB pretty much every year Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+6 gonna get hate for saying this by DB has a pretty solid industrials team in their London office Prospect in IB-M&A
+6 It doesn’t make that much difference if it’s 15 or 30min unless your team has a strict entry time. I had a flexible 9.30-10 so it never really mattered Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+6 +2 this +2 that means you can work >80hrs, but as a consequence of the intensity many juniors don't know how to "think".  AnonymousMonkious
+6 Ah yes because going from IB -> UMM / MF PE ensures you no longer work 80 hour work weeks Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+6 First Boston when? Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+6 The “I heard” threads never end 🤣 First fake meal stipend news now this Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+6 For someone whose entire personality seems to be based on the fact that you did an unpleasant job for pay, which you seem to feel entitles you to feel morally superior to others, it's a little hypocritical to run around de Ozymandia
+6 Interns were assigned to specific asset allocations, e.g. FraccDaddy

+6 Prospect in IB - Gen Managing Director in IB-M&A
+6 I had a coffee chat with one of only three alumni from my school who work at PWP and this guy was the biggest douchebag i've ever talked to. Prospect in IB - Cov
+6 36, been on this platform for a while. wsa007
+6 Hey my friend. I think it depends which sector of energy you mean. Themaster441
+6 Galaxy brain - make life so bad that people quit on their own and you don’t need to pay out severance Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+6 JPM, Citi, GS, DB, MS probably strongest in EMEA Senior VP in IB - Cov
+6 But the article says Morgan Stanley changed the salary conditions after signature, so in theory that was not the deal they agreed to initially Handy_panda
+6 I think the increase in single family rentals in Southern California, especially in Los Angeles, is driven by a few key factors. Director in RE - Other
+6 A lot to unpack here but I’ll weigh in. Admittedly I’ve never negotiated this type of structure as part of my comp but I’ve got deep experience on both the LP and GP side of the ledger.  FutureCEO3
+6 This VP in IB-Cov clearly works at Citi. He's been commenting on every single Citi thread hyping up his bank. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+6 You see this is the plainly obvious conclusion of DEI to anyone with a brain and why (competent) women and minorities should have been against it from day one.  Research Associate in HF - Other
+6 Sure - see below:What level did you enter in and how did the promotion cycle work?  Dan_
+6 Yeah but Lehman wasn’t connected to worlds largest WM Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+6 Maximum Leverage Ozymandia
+6 Personally, I'd just index and chill. I'm assuming this money is for retirement? You don't want to fuck with that, who cares if it's boring? Get your kicks elsewhere. jarstar1
+6 This was on perplexity. Principal in HF - Other
+6 PGIM pays low for junior people but it’s the type of job that will lead to good things elsewhere. I would personally take it and lateral to a higher paying firm as soon as you can. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+6 "Actually, even using your highly biased source, this is simply not trustworthy.  Sam Altman said he expects to get to $20b in ARR.  So... it's a guess. kuf135
+6 I've seen the financials of OpenAI and Anthropic last summer - there are enough Ozymandia
+6 I think the 1-2 week comp style can be done well. P72 runs their annual case comp which has pretty good pitches. I (tried to) compete in the perplexity comp and it was just run terrible. ILikeResearch
+6 is it just me that thinks Perplexity set these kids up to fail? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+6 The kids were retarded (no offense to them, great practice to put yourselves out there and take the rep) but I feel like most the blame has to go to perplexity here? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 UMM VP here (did MF PE and 2 years MBA) and so far all my banking peers have easily outearned me (even adjusting out my MBA years) on cash comp and are pushing director level soon and have so much more junior leverage / le VP in PE - LBOs
+6 Congrats on Macquarie IEC, have fun getting laid off Works at Lincoln International
+6 Anti-semitism has gone too far smh  IsItREPE
+6 FWIW Research Analyst in AM - FI
+6 Watching that was painful. The discomfort from the judges was palpable.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+6 Who is the MD that started this month, is he any good? Intern in IB - Gen
+6 I have never in my life ever seen such a poor showing. Shame on perplexity for wasting the judges time on kids who cant answer what the PE of their "researched" company trades at, or basic financials. Analyst 2 in HF - Event
+6 It doesn't matter. Go to Harvard. Go to Indiana. Fake your degree like Mike Ross. Everyone who's done it knows at the end of the day: investment banking fucking sucks.  yopierre
+6 yeah this website here has a really good collection.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+6 I think a more accurate list in 2025 would look like: A+: Sequoia / Sutter Hill / Founders Fund / Thrive / Kleiner Perkins / Index / Greenoaks Director in PE - Growth
+6 Spoiler alert: Nothing wins, Double loses Director in IB - ECM
+6 Retarded stock picking and living like a rat.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+6 Just curious, what makes you interested in REPE over development? It's common to see construction managers make their way into development and can even become top leaders at their firms. CRE Mamba
+6 Have worked on several co-GP deals. CRE Mamba
+6 Marcos next Job if he keeps it up Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+6 Delete the last line but looks good. I wouldn't go into the specifics of CDD / industry unless you can truly verify that on their LinkedIn.  Business School in CorpStrat
+6 The kiss of death was merging with Credit Suisse while letting a bunch of clueless ex-Barclays bros believe they had all the answers. That level of hubris sealed the firm’s fate. Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+6 Buddy you're a consultant.  Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+6 When UBS deferred half of the analyst class that was supposed to start in July 2023, they explicitly gave preference to internationals (aka zero internationals got deferred). Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+6 Medical office (er medical 'outpatient') has great long-term tailwinds: (A) The fat part of baby boomer bell curve is hitting its very high (3x) medical spending years.  The silver tsunami is absolutely a thing. asmith_1
+6 Just say cibc lil bro CannedBread72
