0 Best thing I ever did was accept DB ft offer over UBS...have a buddy in Tech there and seriously think he's losing his mind.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

0 but nobody allocates capital without being convinced to do so via financial model output / presentation mgw19
0 I’ve heard TMT has lost their main MD and have been struggling to close deals recently, it may not be as strong as it was before Intern in IB-M&A
0 The vacuum of a space would actually be a terrible medium for cooling, and the size of the solar panels and infrastructure required for a data centre would be much larger than what’s normally been constructed. TopBoy.-
0 Choosing a mobile app development company in the UAE really comes down to experience, portfolio quality, and how well they understand scalable product architecture. softkingotechnologies
0 never said it did mgw19
0 You’re probably old enough to get your testosterone checked. I was surprisingly low, along with some other indicators that needed to be addressed. We should all be doing regular blood work, especially in this career. teez
0 Right I am sure that the keyboard warriors on WSO have better information and are better fund investors than LPs. Principal in AM - Other
0 I work for a large pod at a large platform, so I don’t know what this comment achieves. Like you present an easily refutable claim which I can counter with an payslip lol. TopBoy.-
0 This could very well be a real question Prospect in IB - Gen
0 I have been growing my hair out for a sort of medium long flow, like the pretty boy on love island. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

0 Business School in S&T - FIUnless you’re British I don’t know why you’d choose Oxbridge over any of HYPSM. nonu-r
0 Good deal flow, sweaty. Not sure about culture Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
0 You are absolutely hitting the nail on the head; this isn't an IPO designed for price discovery, but a highly calculated financial engineering mechanism structured to weaponize retail momentum and passive index mandates. charlialxendr
0 avoid like the plague Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
0 think like 30% of their total is the gamestop deal bc this counts announced value Intern in IB - Cov

0 32, $3.1mm excluding unvested RSUs VP in IB - Cov
0 $1.1M at 30 after 8 years in IB is solid, especially with no family help. You're well ahead of the curve. dean787
0 Prospect in HF - Macro nonu-r
0 And what have you done? Nothing SomeCaliberTalent
0 What you’re describing is a large platform trying to be everything at once and paying the price in focus and identity. Ishtvan.moysa
0 Well, if you're not paying attention to the most cutting edge technology of the 21st century, you will fall behind in finance. ojapar20
0 First of all, reducing AI to just LLMs is incorrect. Much of the current infrastructure buildout will power AI of all forms, not just language models. ojapar20
0 All in comp is not as high as coverage, your bonus is normally lower. Sure you may make the same base, but are you willing to sacrifice the bonus associated with a good coverage group? rpdwldn
0 Yea dude lol. Ppl who say ts honestly make me think they’re largely all LARPing abt ever having been in IB or worked at any publicly traded bank. rolo25
0 You are an idiot. Often these days MDs are unable to meet revenue KPIs and most convenient way to save their skin is to reduce headcount. Exec VP in IB - Cov
0 What group? Energy, Industrials, LevFin, do Wells for sure. Tech, do Barclays for sure. ECM probably a wash. Associate 2 in IB - Cov

0 Lick my nards bitch Prospect in IB-M&A

0 Why is there a risk if caught? I use Plaud.ai it looks like a credit card it sticks to the back of you work iPhone via magsafe it its super discreet and for Teams / Zoom i just sit it next to my laptop speaker.  ilovegold
0 In Bain's defense, they came in at a valuation and with a structure that let them hold through one of the most brutal NAND downcycles ever, and had the right management and systems in place to both weather the storm operat Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
0 It's the indians and Arabs(serious).  They don't wipe in those countries they use their hands!!! Many don't know how to use sit down toilets(only squat toilets).   calvincoolridge
0 Many years ago, I got wrecked during a lateral analyst interview for Moelis in Dubai. The technicals weren’t hard, but the VP was the biggest assh^le I ever had the displeasure of speaking with Amazon Prime
0 Anywhere in the world tbh, and I will study Economics or Maths Retired in Non-profit
0 Obviously varies but do think competence is underrated as a factor  Works at Goldman Sachs
0 How hard was it for you lateral after ~9 months in? Would the difficulty be different coming from IND/Consumer/LevFin vs. other relatively weaker groups? Intern in IB - Gen
0 Boston's a great city if you're career-focused. It's expensive, but the quality of life is pretty solid and there are a ton of smart, ambitious people around. alexthomass
0 With a $1,700 budget and working downtown, I'd probably look at Somerville, Malden, Quincy, or parts of Brighton and Allston. alexthomass

0 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - ECM
0 MF-PE / MM-HF analyst programs take a fraction of the amount of analysts that EVR and other top banks take. There are simply way more people who have some incentive to glaze EVR than the other programs you mentioned Analyst 2 in PE - Other
0 Almost 0, definitely as hard as recruiting FT for BB. Only shot would be LMM/regional. Prospect in IB - Cov
0 Stating the obvious here - and maybe it goes without saying because I think it's only alluded to once in this thread so far - but interest rates were so low for so long (too low for too long) that even a 3-4 year frozen pe asmith_1
0 Yeah you’re right. What’s funny is most people can’t accept your point but overall it’s fun to watch people expose their deepest insecurities and project on these threads man.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 (1) Institutional LPs don’t care about returns, they just don’t want you to blow up. The only LPs that are truly opportunistic with their capital are UHNW, and that group has a fraction of what a CalPERS has to deploy. Research Analyst in AM - FI
0 You will never convince me that IsItREPE
0 I don’t think 2 days off during a 6 month internship would be a problem at all.   tryyuav
0 I was grinding my gears trying to figure out possible points of differences, but there just aren’t any. Intern in IB-M&A
0 You’re at a top mm bank obviously you got nothing going for you in finance so take galaxy and not look back man. Let’s be real you will not get mfpe or any tiger cubs or anything really game changing in finance. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

0 If you go on her tik tok you’ll see she indeed got a boyfriend who is tatted. It’s cooked for you guys overall  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
0 Direct buyside exits from mining are rare. A lateral move is typically required before securing a competitive PE offer. Prospect in IB-M&A
0 If you are unconfident in your ability to get into an ivy, Duke ED is likely also a long shot. Duke/UChicago/Northwestern are just as hard to get into than many ivy league schools. Prospect in IB-M&A
0 Posts from a year or two ago say it’s very sweaty and culture might be shit  high hopes
0 EBs use DEI to look more integrated but with little interest in nurturing/promoting (hey look we have a *insert minority*) whereas BBs promote DEI to nurture talent to stay on longer (even though sometimes at the gigachimp2323
0 Or she is a DEI Becky that does bare minimum and for obvious reasons won’t be fired unless she quits because MD / HR need to meet those gender KPIs  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
0 generally, EBs are going to have a more intellectual culture than the BBs, but even then, this is group specific. eg, an M&A group at a BB is going to me more EB-like culture wise. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
0 Usa isn't just an economic zone for internationals to play and work. It's a distinct country and culture here.  Stop the h1b entitlement attitude.  You are a guest in this country. Associate 2 in IB - Cov

0 Name a few? The zombie funds are UMM names who haven't been able to exit in years Frodo_Walks
0 I’ve been using Claude Code to build internal apps so our team can enter leases, track deals, upload comps, etc. in one spot and have AI abstract the info into our systems. choooobs
0 pepegrilloThis is true. I have met a few old guys doing NYMEX who have never touched physical. They did have a strong background in fundamentals though. Sandre
0 Your generation is a product of your low testosterone levels. This reads like something from Cosmo.  IsItREPE
0 Not reading all that but congrats on Jefferies dude Associate 1 in IB-M&A
0 If you can afford it, it's not crazy. You're a big boy. Make a budget and make a decision.  CRE
