0 Avoid. Have a friend there who is building their templates / complete sweatshop for no reason. They did their cool deals already / what got them on the scene and to my knowledge haven’t done much of note since KageSelly
0 Dude focus on addressing IT tickets / fixing tech issues at back end Associate 3 in IB - Gen

0 I see you everywhere begging for a job at SMBC 🍟➡️👜 punpkins

0 what would you say is a key determinant in understanding if funds will be falling apart vs. just having a rough cycle? Closing platforms or exitting? For example, Siris and AEA seem to be winding down. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 Marlin hasn't raised since 2017 for their flagship US fund and associate churn has been huge. What makes them top? Is their comp good? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

0 You should do DCM/ECM at banking my friend Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
0 This is low iq nonsense and making a statement this broad is stupid. A woman can be 100% deserving of the role or got it in part because of their gender. theooran

0 I've been using it as a PE mid level and it's pretty incredible. Still think we need associates though. It can do some things fantastically but can't do everything required to close a deal.  anonymous investor

0 Also sort of curious about this. I'm Filipino but never gave much thought if I'm DEI or not. I figured I'm not but never got a clear answer.  Consultant in Consulting
0 Here's a potential scenario.  Our next POTUS is a Democrat.  He sends armed and masked ATF agents into conservative municipalities to look for and confiscate illegally owned guns. GordonGekko87

0 very sharp, definition of iykyk  anonymousmonkey226
0 I've seen some pitches on VIC with significantly lower liquidity than $5m/day that have won the biweekly contest. I understand that SMs may not feel comfortable investing in these stocks, but could you still pitch them? Intern in IB-M&A

0 On top of getting the ordering right on paper, it also helps to be able to explain the stack out loud clearly since that’s how it’ll show up in interviews. prakhargoel
0 People do move from BB to MBB, so it’s not insane but it will be competitive and you’ll basically be re‑running a full MBB recruiting process. prakhargoel

0 WF Intern in IB - Gen
0 So retarded to say this shit when there are so many Indians and south asians working in high finance. Especially considering most are American born. How is this obvious colorism and racism even allowed on this forum? DebitSuisse
