0 Wesleyan is a sleeper, have you seen our placement numbers per capita? Also considering the very anti-capitalism nature of the school, only 18 or so kids really gun for IB and 14-15 get a BB/EB/MM Intern in IB - Cov
0 Good guess :) I completely understand that the saturation of the U.S market warrants a more creative approach to deal structuring, and often excludes growth equity business cases. east.block
0 Colored women don’t really have a case here. The original beneficiaries of DEI before it got hijacked by white women. Rode the gravy train and started complaining when white women were prioritized over them. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
0 I don’t think pictures have multiple frames. That’s a short video. Did you just learn the word retard at an anime convention or something… seems overly represented in your vocabulary. Public school education I guess. rooseveltfan

0 Your anecdotal evidence doesn’t matter, CoL indexes with a breakdown by category put NYC 25% higher than London. That’s been reflected with my frequent trips there. throwaway76493
0 Because you've never lived there so you don't know what it's like. Also sounds like you're stuck in certain neighbourhoods in Manhattan South of Central Park too so your experiences are even more anecdotal. brtfedd1312
0 bam is a shitshow lol. Rest is fine jackboomfh
0 Idk why anyone would want to take a pure BSL CLO seat at this point unless if you're at the one of the majors. BSL CLO analyst is the most threatened role out there after IG stuff due to AI. VP in PE - Other

0 Good job! This will be the final ranking of 2026. Congrats to everyone! ibd_x1v
0 Yertle the Turtle went to LIU Post, but his alma mater is not represented at all. Yertle the Turtle thinks that just because he got his MBA from HBS, it automatically scrubs LIU Post off his background. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
0 Without considering the difference in school, I’d recommend the U.S. given its importance and opportunities. The Canadian economy is somewhat similar to Australia (I have extensive family living there). Green Zeus

0 “MF” titles are stupid. Not sure anyone taking Vista over SLP… whoooo
0 I know how on cycle works u can’t necessarily optimize for a fund, and I’m not disagreeing but let’s make it clear that legacy MFs like BCP/KKR/APO and probably SLP/TPG have significantly better exits than Vista whoooo
0 DELETEDELETEIMSOSTUPID Developer in RE - Comm
0 Fantastic Can we go back to only hiring from targets too  Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
0 You obviously havent been to Iran or know many Iranians. The regime is despised by the vast, vast majority of all Iranians except those utterly brainwashed by hardline Islam or those benifiting from the oppression. Job Trunicht

0 Neither firm is as good as they used to be but both still have the legacy/BB name. monkeybiz117
0 UBS is at least trying to grow and did some notable deals last year (Walgreens), DB is just down the drain. Would rather work for a firm that at least cares about americas IB, tho obv both are not ideal, etc  Intern in IB - Gen

0 I finished top of everything at a similar NESCAC and had to settle for a mid tier BB (Citi/Barc/Bofa), so def possible but u will get a suboptimal outcome given ur performance, whatever it may be, so just be prepared. Intern in IB - Gen
0 lol obviously we are all replaceable. I like your strawman argument; very nice touch. Never said we are not replaceable. Claude even right now can create IC materials, summarize DD, and create vanilla LBOs. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
0 The admin can't even rationalize the reasons behind the instigation. Just gave Iran an excuse to destabilize the whole region, and making gas more expensive at the pump. 8'Banana_Stacker'2

0 I can't imagine being dumb or naïve enough to pay full freight for a bachelor's in such a worthless category and thinking it's then a smart idea to double down with another $100k to get a Master's in it thinking that'll im PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
0 Dude this account is peak unemployment but it’s pretty funny Intern in IB - Gen
