+-1 Wait, are you genuinely saying here that if you work at a reputable PE firm and you’re a VP you make a mil a year on average with carry? Really? How easy or hard is it to become a VP at a firm like this? weaponxedm

+-1 Evercore generalist for SA was very tough. Not sure if it was the people I interviewed but they weren’t playing. Didn’t get it lol Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 Yeah from what I heard from friends seems like P72 Academy and CAP are not as different as people make it out to be. I think CAP has better return rate because of the quality people they hire vs. Prospect in HF - EquityHedge
+-1 Thanks for the response - I've heard this advice, but curious how being so selective works out. analyst124

+-1 I’m in the same spot. Decided to turn offer down to recruit BB/EB, but that’s just personal preference. I don’t think there’s a wrong choice Prospect in IB-M&A

+-1 Look up semi liquid vehicles intern Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+-1 Semi liquid means those feeders fund get allocated mostly to private credit, real estate, infra to be able to meet redemption requests, only a portion to PE. Look at how mostly of them are structured you genius. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs

+-1 Bump Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+-1 Would be funnier if the anecdotes were more accurate.  Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+-1 As someone on the EB industry side, HL always ranks too high in these IMO. They do a fine job on volume, T2 is fine, (but not differentiated vs. Quaneaser
+-1 Dude are you retarded? What that other guy said is right. The liquidity you are referencing is an illusion. If you want to redeem at NAV, there are max drawdown limits which the GP can block for any reason whenever. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 Associate 2 in PE - LBOsThey explicitly add these asset classes with dividends to cover redemptions you mongrel. Fuck me just read the prospectuses Intern in IB - Cov

+-1 lol yeah you're a retard. The highest yielding asset class you noted above is PC and those are yielding like 6-8% on NAV right now. The infra/RE are lower than that. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 TABS is a solid team. Culture is pretty stuffy / stiff but people are still pretty nice. Can get pretty sweaty at times but nothing crazy by PE standards. Works at Advent International

+-1 Im incoming FT at wells fargo and my offer letter says its a 2 year program and basically worded in a way that either u get canned or promoted after 2 years Intern in IB - Gen

+-1 Nah Stern is right Intern in Consulting
+-1 I'm going to say this with the sincere hope you listen, because this site is nominally meant for people with experience to give advice to those with less. Ozymandia
+-1 Wells Fargo promotes at 2.5 years to associate. Just do some checks on LinkedIn. Truist and Citizens are like the only two banks that have strict three year programs. Super incentivizing for junior bankers! Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+-1 Are you sure VPs there pull a mil a year? I’m just curious to know how you know, cuz there isn’t a lot of data out there. Thanks weaponxedm

+-1 Anyone heard back from JPM IBD ever since hirevue?  jennyd_ng
+-1 I’d argue Evercore belongs in S-tier. It depends on who you ask, but no one is going to throw shade at them. That said, and without being redundant, Energy has historically been a Jeff vs. PowerCurveGod

+-1 I agree, but as I said, I don’t really consider them “self-made.” Just look at the recent Forbes 40 Under 40 list, almost all the tech founders were born to ultra-connected parents, attended Ivy aitouahiyassine4
+-1 By shown, do you mean getting coffee chats or just HH sending you an email to gauge interest?  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 Senior perspective here. lisa25
+-1 finance is basically just moving symbols on a screen until someone pays you to stop. the hours are fake, the prestige is a lie, but the wire hit is real. 10/10 would grind again tonythebrief
+-1 Very few banks do 2 year A2A anymore. Also, the 3rd years at WF rake cash in a very short period. Yes base is like 135k but if you stay for Aso bonus is like almost 100% your salary. Prospect in IB-M&A
+-1 Imma wait until marriage. Hope she does too. Have some friends who are planning the similar thing, as a side note these are the guys who are doing best in life (relative to their age) out of all of my friends. moneymaker03
+-1 Mamdani wants to ban all immigration to NYC except for Muslim immigration.  So yea, he is pretty damn close. PEarbitrage

+-1 so you are saying that a finance major who did the 2+2 path will be able to better understand which drug will be able to treat a rare disease more effectively than someone who went to medical school? lilmasy1

+-1 Anyone worried their job will be replaced by AI is not very good at their job. Ozymandia
+-1 I kinda disagree tbh. Not all type A women are how you describe them to be. Just like how not all type A men are stereotypically “alpha”. I think intelligence and ambition is attractive. bananashit

+-1 You’d think that ‘real women’ wouldn’t use and let themselves be used in return by unreliable men as disposable sex objects (of which pregnancy is a potential consequence). sasha_j24
+-1 Not as safe as it used to be. If the new team has a bad year, and MD needs to cut juniors he will be on the chopping block. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+-1 Yeah I'm glad you're not my MD. No wonder your group is "under the radar" Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+-1 During forced rankings, MD always opt for the safest route and never rate DEI Beckies at the bottom no matter how incompetent because it dents their DEI metrics which affect comp. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 Would take the 340 option, you will end up working the same or basically the same amount of hours in reality anyways so you might as well take the 340 option. Take it from costly experience. Analyst 1 in HF - RelVal
