0 The new update with Felix is actually really solid for a lot of things like putting together buyer lists, updated pages, identifying issues in the model (why it’s not tying out etc) Analyst 1 in IB - Cov.
0 Nothing was rigged.  It was not AIPAC. Soros_
0 This is always how it’s been. It comes down to your willingness to sacrifice exits & interesting work flows for better wlb/hourly-basis pay. U made it this far. I’d just try for buyside exits atp rolo25

0 When did I say anything about boots on the ground or regime change? usernameladiesman217
0 The stance of "AI is total bullshit" is really the most asinine take ever. It has such little upside, let alone merit, that I just can't comprehend how that could be someone's unironic opinion. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
0 I think PJT RSSG needs to be way higher, CVP as well at least Tier 2 if not 1, and on the contrary, I think Lazard should be in Tier 1 but also because they've been around for so long, many legacy MFs have built strong rel Intern in IB-M&A

0 yeah idk either bofa is good but nowhere near EVR/CVP/LAZ/PJT/MOE Intern in IB-M&A

0 JFC, what's your question?  Consultant in IB - Restr
0 Higher IQ and genetics fit for entrepreneurship. Genetic determinism is real and unavoidable Analyst 1 in IB - PubFin
0 I am at an EB going to a MF. You should rethink what matters for buyside exits. It’s not just about legacy / pedigree. jackd2
0 BMO, SunTrust/Truist, KeyBank type of firms. Particularly if the group head is that one dude friends with Tom Brady or whatever. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
0 If you're early on in banking, stay in NY. Nothing sucks more than leaving the office late and there's literally nothing open to even pick up some toothpaste while paying comparable rent. Associate 2 in IB - Cov

0 During the last few weeks, I can recall three problematic experiences that can add color to your inquiry: Investment Analyst in HF - RelVal
0 Wasn't there some clown here who asked whether to go for PWP vs GS IBD lmao? This forum for sure has brainwashed a generation of kids on how great these so called EBs are. Fucking joke Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
0 too basic, pump GPT and Claude and post a cvasi-whitepaper on Tax Equity... will give SB... GS under Blankfein
0 Both schools sit squarely in the non-target AF tier of schools and any placements are purely results of idiosyncratic efforts. This is like debating between Karachi and Dhaka for a summer holiday destination. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
0 Underrated MF / UMM is an oxymoron but some that come to mind are EQT, Genstar, GTCR, H&F, Leonard Green, New Mountain, and Veritas. On the flip side, some overrated ones are Carlyle and Vista Equity. VP in PE - LBOs
0 I'm in NYC but... yea if you're like a high-functioning gay, then I'd imagine it's better to be in the NE than South, but other than that, idk what you mean by "judgmental/close minded". rolo25

0 Did you read his essay? A surprising number of his predictions must've sounded like an outlandish bull case when he wrote in 2024 but quite a few have been hit.  Tortuga Vallarta
0 May be a strong term. But would say he was pretty early on it in June '24 when he wrote the blog, not regurgitating anything that was obvious at that point in time. VP in PE - LBOs

0 Building a stylish and practical wardrobe starts with choosing versatile pieces that suit your lifestyle and personal taste. ochreclothing
0 It's amazing in the age of AI you don't even bother googling the guy's background before posting your silly question on WSO. The name of the fund is literally the name of the essay that made him famous. MMPM
0 Work at none, but LAZ/PWP/MOE need to get/continue sponsor relationships from somewhere - hence they go down into the MM. Nothing wrong or bad about it imo. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 Probably pulling an all nighter due to facetime. Waste of a life. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
0 UBS has a few strong folks at the senior level but lots of bloat and limited M&A deal execution experience  meghanthebanker
0 Everyone dipping down into the MM given the slow down in M&A over the last few years  meghanthebanker

0 Been in MM M&A for 20 years. Happy to respond directly to any woman looking for insights. meghanthebanker
0 Was former HL ADG in LA - one of 5 senior bankers (SVP and up) at the time. Most everyone has left with the exception of one (now) MD and junior staff that got promoted up. meghanthebanker
