0 With a $1,700 budget and working downtown, I'd probably look at Somerville, Malden, Quincy, or parts of Brighton and Allston. alexthomass
0 Virtually all the banks that have an SF biopharma presence also have NY. While CVP's SF office is almost all biotech, a lot (if not most) of the coverage still goes through NY. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
0 A roll up strategy in the lower middle market logistics sector presents a compelling opportunity, given the industry's fragmentation and the impending succession challenges faced by many owner operators. dean787
0 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - ECM
0 MF-PE / MM-HF analyst programs take a fraction of the amount of analysts that EVR and other top banks take. There are simply way more people who have some incentive to glaze EVR than the other programs you mentioned Analyst 2 in PE - Other
0 Almost 0, definitely as hard as recruiting FT for BB. Only shot would be LMM/regional. Prospect in IB - Cov
0 Farallon tries to be lowkey but it is one of if not the best seat Investment Analyst in HF - Other
0 Def contact HR or compliance immediately to correct the mistake before the background check actually runs. dean787
0 Stating the obvious here - and maybe it goes without saying because I think it's only alluded to once in this thread so far - but interest rates were so low for so long (too low for too long) that even a 3-4 year frozen pe asmith_1
0 What a joke. Two irrelevant banks merging to create... another irrelevant bank. The only firms that really move the needle in Houston are GS, MS, and JEFF. CSHouston
0 Yeah you’re right. What’s funny is most people can’t accept your point but overall it’s fun to watch people expose their deepest insecurities and project on these threads man.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 How many “in 5-10 year” waffles do we have to endure? AI has been largely available since 2023 and yet no material progress has truly been made. liquidiot
0 (1) Institutional LPs don’t care about returns, they just don’t want you to blow up. The only LPs that are truly opportunistic with their capital are UHNW, and that group has a fraction of what a CalPERS has to deploy. Research Analyst in AM - FI
0 You will never convince me that IsItREPE
0 I don’t think 2 days off during a 6 month internship would be a problem at all.   tryyuav
0 I was grinding my gears trying to figure out possible points of differences, but there just aren’t any. Intern in IB-M&A
0 You’re at a top mm bank obviously you got nothing going for you in finance so take galaxy and not look back man. Let’s be real you will not get mfpe or any tiger cubs or anything really game changing in finance. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 Have you seen him lately? Heard him talk? He's not going to be around much longer.  CRE
0 If you go on her tik tok you’ll see she indeed got a boyfriend who is tatted. It’s cooked for you guys overall  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 Direct buyside exits from mining are rare. A lateral move is typically required before securing a competitive PE offer. Prospect in IB-M&A
0 If you are unconfident in your ability to get into an ivy, Duke ED is likely also a long shot. Duke/UChicago/Northwestern are just as hard to get into than many ivy league schools. Prospect in IB-M&A
0 Posts from a year or two ago say it’s very sweaty and culture might be shit  high hopes
0 Berkeley is a liberal hell hole with insufferable people, Cornell is depressing Ithica NY with a suicide net at the bridge, NYU stern is a good choice for IB but the kids aren’t that smart and are really just cookie cutter Associate 1 in IB-M&A
0 EBs use DEI to look more integrated but with little interest in nurturing/promoting (hey look we have a *insert minority*) whereas BBs promote DEI to nurture talent to stay on longer (even though sometimes at the gigachimp2323
0 Or she is a DEI Becky that does bare minimum and for obvious reasons won’t be fired unless she quits because MD / HR need to meet those gender KPIs  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
0 RSM has one of the best value for money! I would go for it except if you have LBS/LSE or Oxford. Those really increase your chances the others less! boib_1
0 generally, EBs are going to have a more intellectual culture than the BBs, but even then, this is group specific. eg, an M&A group at a BB is going to me more EB-like culture wise. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
0 Usa isn't just an economic zone for internationals to play and work. It's a distinct country and culture here.  Stop the h1b entitlement attitude.  You are a guest in this country. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
0 nahh thats where the zombie funds are finance gal
0 Name a few? The zombie funds are UMM names who haven't been able to exit in years Frodo_Walks
0 I’ve been using Claude Code to build internal apps so our team can enter leases, track deals, upload comps, etc. in one spot and have AI abstract the info into our systems. choooobs
0 pepegrilloThis is true. I have met a few old guys doing NYMEX who have never touched physical. They did have a strong background in fundamentals though. Sandre
0 Your generation is a product of your low testosterone levels. This reads like something from Cosmo.  IsItREPE
0 Not reading all that but congrats on Jefferies dude Associate 1 in IB-M&A
0 If you can afford it, it's not crazy. You're a big boy. Make a budget and make a decision.  CRE
0 Classic story, guy works in finance and thinks a fucking claude agent can perform surgeries. Also nice man, you have an MD but work at an HF. Yes, you don't provide value. BananaMuncher04
0 VanillaMan24HSBC and Standard Chartered exits will be significantly worse than a JPM/BofA for buyside. no shit sherlock GS under Blankfein
0 Complete pipe dream, never going to happen.  Also lol at “studied Wall Street etiquette” toldyouso_________
0 Oh so now you’re in Boston for the whole year…  Also the fact that you’ve just said doing an internship in the winter also tells me you have 0 clue whats going on  toldyouso_________
0 genuinely how insecure does one have to be to want to accurately portray the impressiveness and prestige of the bank that he works at to the huzz / own family Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 Fable 5 has basically changed the game for me. I can spend more time doing more useful work like expert calls, talking to management teams / bankers, and portco management. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
0 Work in venture and have worked in growth previously, I think everyone on this post is very wrong. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
0 Gen Z Banker, it is hard to feel prestigious when information is so readily available. There's people that sell courses that make more than my MD, and then the most intellectual people work in Quant & AI. Gamer_Gravel
0 so what you gonna do now that u got nutmegger's feedback will you become a chemist or settle for for 4 audit GS under Blankfein
0 Be honest with yourself - are you just an absolute chud..? KageSelly
0 What about the black ones Prospect in IB-M&A
0 So by that logic, should every American working in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, or Dubai also give up their jobs to locals? Global finance has never worked that way AmicusOliver
0 Immigration is what made this country great in the first place. If you don’t welcome talent, US will lose its lead vs. countries like China that are catching up quickly Analyst 2 in HF - Event
0 Honestly, trying to ban AI talk at this point is like trying to hold back the tide. Hanlon
0 Please enlighten us with your counterargument. I know you might be busy with your intern tasks but I’ll wait. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
0 DEI but rebranded LOL prospectieape
0 For software and creative work, it's game changing. ojapar20
0 From my experience, I usually see rent controlled apartments go to kids (almost always white) who got it passed from their parents (as they are typically pre-1974 buildings) LongVIX
0 Sounds like you need DEI prospectieape
0 No. Foreign-born workers are heavily overrepresented in elite finance/IB relative to their population share. They dominate H-1B visas and entry-level pipelines at bulge brackets. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
0 Associate 1 in IB - Cov 0singles_litters
0 Dude the majority of investment banks outside of select BB’s/EB’s don’t even sponsor kids on OPT/H1B, just look at the job postings it’ll say at the end that they don’t hire anyone who now or in the future will need visa s IBPEInternr
0 tbh the best performing are the pods in SF. notably Cit and P tmt pods and a healthcare one at Cit are prob the best for comp and growth if you are willing to fight for it. equitystrat
0 Shii still recruiting sa’27 here and would trade places with you in a heartbeat. Fuck you mf. bigpoppa123
0 "my success" off longing NVDA and SNDK from wallstreetbets reddit posts. There's 40,000 you's in alternative universes begging for crack and gesturing to their mouth when cars drive by on the freeway. stay humble. zed12
0 I have spoken to the intern about all of the above. generating alpha48291
0 Our feedback is anonymous and I have been giving the intern constant feedback because he keeps asking me for feedback during our weekly chats. generating alpha48291
0 I would trust JPM over a random LMM shop, and I am pretty sure the JPM group will poach some MDs from HL/Baird/Piper that have the experience to also execute deals in a "hand-holding and seeming" way Associate 1 in PE - Other
0 Time to go to Vegas and turn it into $45m! I've got the ultimate foolproof baccarat strategy I'll share for just $420.69.  PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
0 What if instead of me reaching out, the intern just improves his communication? generating alpha48291
0 I think people are misunderstanding me in what I’m getting at - my firm has cut back on DEI initiatives and as a result, there’s only one black guy. The other non-Asian POCs are hispanics from wealthy backgrounds. Intern in IB - Gen
0 It’s an implication that my bank had cut down on it. Our diversity program is now majority white. Not sure what the issue with my comment is. Just chucking some thoughts into the mix re: DEI from my pov Intern in IB - Gen
0 Doesn't matter. GPT 7 will still replace you. Principal in HF - Other
0 What was AUM at the LMM fund? Did you do the math backwards to figure out what their P&L must look like? m_1
0 Just because you’re a guy doesn’t mean you can’t try to get pregnant  Intern in IB - Gen
0 Would love to hear the sexist jokes and personal attacks.  That is actually an important piece of information here.  Need to get an idea of your respective sensibilities. Principal in CorpStrat
0 Seems fairly easy but with today's kids you just never know. Some take extreme offense to simple feedback like "stay awake at work" and start building an entire case against the messenger when the offer does not come. UBSRising789
0 Dude no one knows rsm in London circles wtf are you talking about. Any of those schools would be a better choice  thib56
0 Theyre the UBS of boutiques  They don’t deserve to be called an elite boutique they ain’t elite  Intern in IB - Gen

0 For most top front-office roles (e.g. M&A, private equity, or consulting roles) in the Netherlands, fluent Dutch is usually necessary. Prospect in Acct - Other
0 Not to advocate here, know GHL is not what it used to be but just last year they advised on the 15bn BlacHills-NorthWestern merger, 10bn 3G Capital/Sketchers acquisition, 9bn Brookfield/Colonial Enterprises acquisition... Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
0 Lmaooooo “EB for HC” Prospect in IB - Cov
0 Bruh you don't know shit. Escp has the same amount of alumni in London as hec. 4k each roughly active alumni. You can look it up quite easily. Business School in IB - Cov
0 Spain because fuck Argentina Argentinian got mad and throwing MS at everyone 😂 nutmegger189
0 Argentina because Messi is the GOAT. All around a pretty good guy relative to most elite athletes  The Penguin
0 Spain solely because of their support for Palestine. And for a similar reason, I am rooting against Argentina due to their Israeli ties. NewIndustryHorizon
0 Learn to read, i guess you are from the classics background  davani1420
0 Always amazes me how people who generally won’t shed a single tear over companies engaging in horrific behavior to workers or society at large suddenly find their red flags and pitch forks as soon as muh immigrants/foreign Ruebenesque
0 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - Cov
0 Can someone pls answer? The OP needs to know if working at GS has good exit ops and what the wlb at GS is. Please! There’s literally no info out there on Goldman. Smoke Frog

0 Great thread Brofessor, ~30M here are some random thoughts:   Sumooooo
0 The fact that you would ask/consider doing this shows such poor character. I've seen lots of things happen in my long career (62). rickle
0 Your analyses are not “impressive PhD level.” It sounds like you actually aren’t even taking in what a lot of these commenters are saying. Gl out there—you seem pretty hopeless imo Prospect in Consulting
0 you know the answer (and people itt have told you) you just dont want to hear it if ur asking about the "standard salary expectations" for a situation like this i dunno what to tell you Research Analyst in HF - Other
0 I am exaggerating for emphasis when I say "PhD-level analyses" but mainly trying to point out that I don't need to do more than is necessary Asking the simple questions is basically what needs to be done Prospect in IB - Gen
0 PE and don’t look back  u7o2q0qla4
0 Anyone else notice this? Every single One Rock thread (and many MM threads) has the same "VP in PE - LBOs" (rank "H") showing up to defend/promote the firm with a silver lining, often quoting his "friend" who works there. Analyst 2 in PE - Growth
0 "Great overview! arpitmishra
0 Grown ass man moaning about getting picked on by a 21 year old girl holy shit the absolute state of so called “alpha” finance bros.  tryyuav
0 Not sure why the MS here. The post is straight facts. I've been a vocal critic of the H-1B program, and I think it needs to be heavily reformed. Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
0 files are what's going to get you. own the live version of every book, no one else saves over your master. if a VP or banker wants to mark something up, they get a copy, and it comes back to you to incorporate. OFFERGOBLIN
