+-1 Redacted aristosT
+-1 VP in IB - Cov
+-1 Ngl I just wanna work at a HF or VC. Even though PE’s returns are “dead” (which is seriously overstated), the fact you learn so much about operating a business is very helpful in a public markets world. whoooo
+-1 Omg, yall are the most want to be victims ever lol. Keep crying and whining all you want but yall didn’t get an offer because you weren’t that special, not because DEI. lbarry
+-1 is this Redwood? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+-1 If you want to go into healthcare, PFM and Loon Lake (which is brand new and promising). I also highly recommend RTW on the biotech side (as mentioned above). rusty_can
+-1 Vhut do you mean Capital of Structure
+-1 doesn't have much to do with my comment but ok. IB and PE hours are terrible as well. Future Hedgefund Head
+-1 1-1.5 sounds like your range PM in HF - Other

+-1 Can you share the company name that thought they'd be a platform but became an add-on? PE_Allocator

+-1 shut up libtard we have all experienced and lived through this gordoongeekoo
+-1 ojapar20Did you stake your 9-figure fortune in space travel and EV companies, watch both nearly go under, and still come out the richest man in the world? Ozymandia
+-1 CRERaijin Ozymandia
+-1 Sounds shitty when you say it out loud, but considering an analyst in NYC is making 120k on the high end, I still have more buying power at the end of the day (while working half the hours mind you). SpreadDatAsk
+-1 Sounds like steep projection to me lol SpreadDatAsk
+-1 This is just objectively untrue rooseveltfan
+-1 UChicago places better lol - if you're comparing the % of students that place into top IB/PE programs vs student body - UChicago's definitely higher. Prospect in IB - Cov
+-1 Damn, that's harsh. I mean the AI agreed with you and threw most of those strategies in the bin zuocharles
+-1 The prestigious jobs are prestigious for a reason. They create the best learning experiences and you work with the highest calibre of individuals, on average. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+-1 yes and this retardation of western countries has also spread to my third world shithole - India,  I am actively living in an apartheid state which has been multiplied by DEI hiring. Prospect in IB-M&A

+-1 Stern, Duke, Darty down a tier. rooseveltfan
+-1 how are the other gs fig verticals in terms of culture? Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+-1 I have found there to be a material cut off at 3.80. Note no rounding and they will ask for your official transcript to make sure ppl aren't doing BS like 3.78 -> 3.80. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 Try telling H&F your 3.77 is a 3.8 buddy. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 "Why men don't like me ?? I am not like the leftie mood killers" followed by "I feel excluded because of beer events" is priceless. You are precisely an insufferable mood killer. Coconut1983
+-1 Are you a PM? Do you actually have experience managing capital?  paulyoungettem
+-1 I can criticize KG or anyone other person as much as I want, because I am 100% qualified to do so. paulyoungettem
+-1 Or maybe because those pods have other teams in other strategies (like commodities) that worked better than l/s equities? Do your hw before responding to me, ok?  paulyoungettem
+-1 Again, everyone tracks flows. You have no clue how stocks trade - how much experience do you have actually managing a 500M-1B book at a pod shop? paulyoungettem
+-1 Green newbies like you should read this before proceeding further. Maybe try flipping burgers. paulyoungettem
+-1 Spot on unfortunately. Need to escape asap. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+-1 When comparing Oxbridge (Oxford and Cambridge) to HYPSM (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT), the perception of prestige and influence varies significantly depending on the region, cultural context, and professional f WSO Monkey Bot
+-1 Neither RayJ nor Lincoln (??? had to google this one) will give you much M&A experience. Lincoln is an absolute nobody and likely focuses on advisory opinions and valuations not unlike what Big 4 does. Works at Citigroup
+-1 just watch funny memes Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 hahaha spot on Capital of Structure
+-1 Not worth it if finances are a concern. Even W wouldn’t have been worth it. I am fully in the camp that paying sticker price for MBA is only worth it for Stanford and HBS. thewageslave
+-1 Need to move JPM, Evercore down and JEFF up. No idea how MS is 5 either Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 AKKR's portfolio is not that cool. Hg by far the best out of the three you listed. Another good one could be Haveli Investments in Austin Serent is also good (but slightly smaller) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+-1 Managing Director in IB-M&A Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+-1 You’re not booting anyone out lil bro 😭🤣 PaulAllensGlasses
+-1 True, but not sure the relevance between your statement and not wanting to blow 80k (or whatever they cost, I don't really know) on an unreliable boxy car with ugly seats  reformed
+-1 So good MM’s like WB, baird, piper sandler, etc will be more technical? Is that what you mean by difficulty between BB and EB? So i’m assuming merger math, paper lbo type of questions? wso warrior

+-1 I heard it is case by case punpkins
+-1 What about Harvard for Undergraduate and then Oxford for Graduate (Master’s degree perhaps)? Also are you saying Cambridge University doesn’t have universal name recognition that Harvard and Oxford have? DeletedAccount...
+-1 Not going to move the needle, especially now with oncycle happening so much later and actually having work to talk about.  If you don't want to do MBA I wouldn't bother. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+-1 This is my favorite annual WSO thread lol Research Analyst in AM - Equities
+-1 holland park school top teir? is this a joke? rbsnz
