Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

0 Houston is the most boring city on the planet. Everyone is stale and only cares about oil. Everything is far from each other. The dating market is worst in class (seriously, good fucking luck). Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
0 Come to toronto Prospect in IB-M&A
0 Easily cuh Evercore clears MS rooseveltfan
0 Gtown psyop right here Tommy_262

0 Germans think anything over 40 hours is a crime ffs who cares Intern in IB - Cov
0 You dont benefit from it, and you started it because Israel asked you to.  goriecs
0 A lot of Chicago/Cornell/Duke, occasional Columbia. Prospect in IB-M&A
0 You'll be in new york working 85 hour weeks... hardly able to enjoy the NYC experience. thereisnochoice
0 This post actually made me laugh out loud. This is the same as saying Yale is more well-known and famous than Harvard. VP in IB-M&A
0 As an Indian who moved to the UK for university and now works in London IB: Harvard/Oxford UG > Stanford/Cambridge/MIT UG ≈ H/S MBA > Y/P UG > W MBA Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
0 You all on this thread should get a life - anybody would help their children get a job. And referrals between seniors in PE and seniors in banking happen all the time Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
0 Lol you are the only person in the country who thinks Jefferies is remotely competing with GS for prestige. Try Truist Bank, brother. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
0 Qatalyst is not a “micro EB” lol it is a top firm Intern in IB - Gen
0 Anonymous Monkey: Where does ardea sit? Ardea sits the highest and it’s not close smokingdatpack
0 I cleared just under $600k as a yr1 VP top bucket and expecting closer to $650-$700k this year in yr2. This is in Canada. VP in IB - Cov
0 I'd say no, just because they don't really dominate HC, but they're a very good firm to land Prospect in IB-M&A
0 The dumb sorority chicks day in day out Prospect in HF - Other
0 Lazard is so cooked davani1420
0 For analysts, GS/MS beat anything Canada has to offer. Prospect in IB-M&A
0 The "good" clubs in Michigan are MII/GIC/MIBC (these 3 clubs kind of rotate around on who placed "the best" each year) and TAMID is ngl equally good. VVI/MIG/AIC is a step below. Then there's MSBO. Prospect in IB - Gen
0 UBS sucking is old news but man… Lazard really fell off. They are not in the same galaxy  as the other EBs anymore  RBOB_squarepants
0 I am curious why you think BB AM is not a great place to start. drj22
0 PWP is a dying bank  davani1420
0 ngl but you sound like a blithering idiot (“top 10 HF, brand name BB”) and therefore prob a good fit for sleepy AM setups. Research Analyst in HF - Other
0 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
0 Just ropemax and stop larping ricecel Talented_Gambler
0 The bar is literally a deal, for maybe the top bucket - hoo boy! Our bank sucks and we all know it. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
0 lilbankermonkeyUntil Stacy from hr cheerfully tells you that you are cooked, and that you basically jestermaxxed the entire interview. IsItREPE
0 Emory for sure if you can pay. Right now the UK is in a situation of crisis... Salaries in the US are exponentially better also :) boib_1
0 Yale 188m
0 Have u considered just sticking to tailgating and football? Prospect in IB-M&A
0 Pretty similar in placement and prestige, anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about. Just go to whichever environment you prefer Prospect in IB-M&A
0 That’s surprising to hear. Almost every person on TikTok, Quora, r/6thform and r/UniUK would tell you to pick Oxbridge over Princeton due to its superior worldwide prestige. I wonder which country you’re referring to? DeletedAccount...
0 Can I DM you please DeletedAccount...
0 Stop this bro, PWP is a glorified MM nowadays Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
0 PWP is going down, they are not relevant nowadays. I get the hype around EBs, but the only ones you should consider taking over a good GS IBD group are Evercore, Centerview, and PJT. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
0 chad bot does not give af basicallymonky
0 my bad for thinking ahead lol. probably still in a better place than your miserable insufferable self leaving unhelpful comments on wso.  anonymousmonkey123414314
0 Just like Clinton's deal that got N Korea to stop producing Uranium and avoid future nuclear weapons? bddjfj1345
0 Liontree pays more than all the traditional EBs listed except for cvp burn8573
0 Congrats on 400k Ivy League degree Intern in IB - Gen
0 Honest question though, what is it like prestige chasing so hard. Judging by your topics and past comments it seems like all you do is try and prop yourself up through comments. Intern in IB - Gen
0 Interesting breakdown. I think you’re right that most of these big banks are too interconnected for anything to be completely hidden, especially something as serious as a potential Chapter 11 filing. huanlamunov
0 Go to Berkeley and work in SF for some time before lateraling rooseveltfan
0 Still no evidence offered Manager in IB-M&A
0 bbnos TechBanking
0 Michigan was opposite. Did very well at the top firms but overall numbers are down and many struck out this year elliot cadih
0 Has to be stern... proximity to New York firms easily gives it more than just an edge.  Intern in IB- Mergers and Acquisitions
0 United state is comprised of the rich people and the poor people. FlyingBoat
0 just a cautionary note before anyone accepts an offer from them. Take a look at the league tables for 2025 and YTD as a proof point …  honeychocolate1037
0 Fascism has to be confronted. Those who enabled it and/or sat idly by need to have the hammer brought down on them. They all deserve to keel over with massive coronaries. LMBurn
0 It’s a m7 and I know a bunch of MDs from UChicago and none from Columbia - personal experience I guess Associate 2 in Private Credit
0 We aren't debating the reasonability of the consequences that might occur as a result of the actions being punished. Prospect in IB - Cov
0 You would have to place into both. Intern in IB - Gen
0 basically this. if firms dont sponsor h1b they cant stay. its a form of modern day slavery lmao fuku
0 I also think A/W is at the LEAST, as good at stern for recruiting, and more of a cultural fit with me personally usually than the latter, but I squint at your comment as I have never heard of people, at scale, recruiting f SOFRsoGood
0 Is this a serious question lol bottom quartile at HYPSM end up at mbb Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 Expect ~40-60% for Generalist M&A, slightly higher for PCA/RX majors for '26 interns. If non-nepo or client kid, might be a 1 in 3 shot. Intern in PE - LBOs
0 It’s almost as if hiring Americans to grow a group focused on American clients is a good idea…  RBOB_squarepants
0 If u have a full ride just take it, why pay for college if u don’t have to Stanford if better but if you put your best foot forward at UVA you will get the same outcomes jonesjonesjones
0 could be confusing with another EB but pretty sure it was 80-90% Prospect in IB - Gen
0 Average wharton sophomore wants to go to GS or EVR M&A. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 Why not email some of the juniors on the team about it or send the wso articles that sounds fitting for this kid Prospect in IB-M&A
0 Clown list, you IB and PE lot know nothing anything about venture lol. Real: industrialapple24
0 He should do what he wants to do, consulting or banking. SOFRsoGood
0 so is Kelley non IBW  - a kelley grad Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
0 Went to Eller and so was pretty up to date with what is happening with Wall street scholars. IMHO if you can get into the scholars program, you are teed up for great opportunities. Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
0 Both of them (or anyone) need good karma if ever want to work in finance lol thinkpad_1739
0 Prospect in PE - OtherI don’t know anything but seconding the comment that said to think longer term than IB recruiting. Managing Director in IB-M&A
0 Congrats! I didn't go to either school. I'd take UVA. Few reasons why: Irehdna
0 If Iran loses this war, Israel will expand its tentacles across the Middle East. Iran is fighting for all the Goyim, we must support them Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
0 Overrated. Fund returns have been average at best and they own a bunch of crap they can’t exit. LPs are starting to get frustrated with lack of DPI. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
0 Go to Miami then if not Toronto. Avoid ESCP massive cash cow. Miami, even though not the best uni of the US, is respected in Miami to find a nice job. Plus, you will enjoy the amazing city. boib_1
0 this is correct on both points. not sure why you're getting MS. Kevin25
0 Dude just have the convo. It's not like you're asking for her sister's number.  If she doesn't like it, move on.  Rabbit
0 Dude Williams is a lower semi target if you don’t play squash or lax and isn’t even comparable to Dartmouth. This is just nonsense  Intern in IB - Gen
0 yeah HSMBAThroway is also likely his. Was just a matter of time until he posted anonymously. Nobody else is using the term 'oxford man' on this forum.  hutcointraders
0 Rice is undoubtedly more prestigious, and the difference in prestige gets bigger the farther you get from Texas. That being said, Texas is probably a more fun school and equal difficulty of placement. rooseveltfan
0 If your goal is the most ridiculous upside in tech finance, it is probably Stanford. Diegoooo
0 Congrats on Stern, will never be a T10 private school 🤣 gordongekko0918
0 One watch-out, you'll be well-positioned for IB from many of these options, but remember that PE is pickier about visa sponsorship, and there are pretty limited seats for internationals. SaaSChimp
0 holy larp 07311971
0 Q is a different beast than any other boutique. They are so dominant in tech M&A that they and CVP biopharma are the rare instances where GS is beat for prestige in their respective industry. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
0 Please OP, demand to be invited over to her place with a freshly cooked meal and let us know how that works out. Soros_
0 You’re right, I’m Thanos bitch Ghost_of_Baghdad
0 If u work hard and are made of the right stuff u can get a job in IB from either school/situation. Babson and NYU non-stern both send plenty of kids into IB (or other finance jobs as you might change your mind).  WCWP1
0 Why is everyone bringing up Oxford. In the US nobody really cares about it maroon
0 Stern for sure rooseveltfan
0 I don’t think firms would consider a Dyson undergrad better than a Stern one. rooseveltfan
0 It’s a bunch of NYU losers glazing in the comments lol ask anyone noteworthy in finance and it’s an instant agreement that Ross is preferable. Just look at the admissions stats…not close lmao Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
0 Depends on what your goals are. For context, am at a non BRG T2 firm firm, but know a fair amount about BRG. If you want to stay long term, it's a great place. Good WLB and pay isn't really all that bad. Associate 1 in Consulting
0 someone got rejected by EVR Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
0 Again see above. MoE and PWP pay better and its loosely mentioned in comp discussions. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
0 Teller in IB - CovNow which high schools / areas have kids that use all the racist language? How did they become like that? waterup78
0 . RedLamp55
0 UBS gets a lot of flak on WSO but it's directed more toward IBD than ER/S&T. Depends on your goals and if you want to exit to PE/Corp or stay long term in whichever you choose. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 Hey -- as someone who goes to UVA, working at a pod this summer, and and has friends in many of the top clubs (AIF, MII), I would encourage you to go Stanford. doglover2239
0 Lmao nobody takes NYU seriously. Have legitimately never been impressed by anyone who went there Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
0 My NYC MF lets me bald faster than peers and stay a virgin for two years. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
