+-1 Carlyle higher than posted. Know multiple associates at $200k+ bonus.  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+-1 if you have to pay its a scam Research Analyst in HF - Other
+-1 I heard that Apollo was paying base salary of 185k for principals and 500k for MDs but that was a few years back. As for bonuses, I understand that principals were getting 100%-200%. Not sure about the carry. Bellagio
+-1 right lol, the UK is a fraction of the size of the US, "super target" just doesn't mean as much in London when there's only really 5-6 schools worth going to for high finance anyway.  Lebron2025MVP
+-1 insurance is pretty vanilla ebitda - claims anonymnous
+-1 lol get good Prospect in IB-M&A
+-1 My friends and I have been inquired about these items in some shape or form during our interviews over the years. Pretty standard and nothing do with your gender. Exec VP in IB - Cov
+-1 NRCET is the worse. Industrials and M&A are the best.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+-1 False, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about NRCET has one of the strongest deal flows  across the street in London.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 If you could get in without DEI, you would be supportive of ending it because otherwise it (rightfully so) puts an asterisk on your competency Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 If you have late hours it just means your bank sucks. Your relationship bankers should be looping you in ideally and you only have to execute.  fuku
+-1 Really surprised it took you that long. We just pulled sides from market updates and rehashed it quickly. Could get in do a debt capacity and price pretty quickly too. Then put in regulatory filings to execute.  fuku
+-1 I'd say it very much is. Even looking at relationship managers I appreciate what they do. But they haven't got a shred of a clue about debt execution. fuku
+-1 Are you in the industry? sounds autistic fuku
+-1 honestly have no clue at other banks. but we run the "origination" processes or whatever from our relationships managers. Whether that's sponsors or industry.  fuku
+-1 Have no clue why you want to exit. DCM is very process oriented an simple. Once you know what you're doing you can just execute without thinking.  You can go chat around with other people. Hella fun.  fuku
+-1 bruh dcm is fine. its a job. I don't know what other experiences you had but i had fp&a and investing experience before dcm. so I wasn't siloed. fuku
+-1 mundane is a horrible way to put it. its very simple. doesn't require a lot of thinking once you get it. then you could just fuck around at work.  what is wrong with y'all.  fuku
+-1 dude what is the networking bs. just send your resume to hr. if you have the experience you're qualified fuku
+-1 agree here. as long as you can give market update, speak about debt capacity/leverage, and walk them through the syndicate process then you're good to go.  fuku
+-1 seems about right. though i wouldn't really care about broader equity. should know how interest rate ties to credit facility and know your libor, sofr rates. then just call it a day and give it to someone else. fuku
+-1 This is the top tier comment. DCM is so mindless once you get it. But it opens up you to just fuck around. I mean literally half the time I was just getting lunch with colleagues and cahooning around.  fuku
+-1 im going to respond one last time here and if you respond again, my point is proven  fuku
+-1 Yo u still salty? Everyone look at this clown here. This is a textbook example of what not to do with clients. Starts raging at one comment, which he has no clue about and no product expertise. Dude let me be real. fuku
+-1 it's not even worth fighting you peace fuku
+-1 sure bud you really do talk like a child. need your mom's tits? fuku

+-1 slay beckyyy! Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 And I think they were pretty much right.  To the point where he was even mocked with the TACO nickname for not following through. Ozymandia
+-1 I love how you choose to answer some questions that Ozy poses to you but not others. It really shows 2 things. The first is how straw man your argument is and the second is how much of a pussy you are lol anon1019
+-1 Not only do they not care they basically are actively cheering the end of our basic institutions and rights. Hope we can eventually figure out who these kloset fashies are on Wall Street to boycott those MDs and funds. elninomaravilla
+-1 Then she and her female associate were taken out for drinks by MD where they suggested the best labubu for MD. Sometimes the Associate serves as MD’s labubu too after social events.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 Avoid at all costs. MDs/Ds are super demanding and will yell at you for minor mistakes. VPs are useless and can’t provide direction on anything. Staffer is toxic and a con artist. Principal in PE - Growth
+-1 Firstly, you got significant senior bloat at VP/D level which prevents the juniors from stepping up. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 Stan Weinstein's Secrets For Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets midwest_analyst

+-1 Doesn’t even sound like you have an opportunity to join randomaccount1998
+-1 Soros? I read the first 60 pages or so like 5 years ago. It was a great read and then I discontinued it, don’t know why. MacchiatoBach
+-1 VP in PE - LBOs luke8
+-1 Soros and Druck are arguably the greatest investors of all time. Read Soros stuff. Read about both of them, read stuff from people in their circle who are stylistically similar. Analyst 3+ in HF - Other
+-1 FuhnanceI wish WSO had more threads like this. Very informative and interesting to read people's perspectives. Thanks for posting OP! luke8
+-1 V easy to dox who this is as there's only one linkedin profile matching  this Works at Ernst & Young LLP
+-1 Did this last year and it was one behavorial and one technical. The technical was all banking questions so you need to get down the 400. asuconsultinggrind
+-1 although bucketed under investment banking, this is just loan syndications (falls under corporate banking) at any other of the Big 5 Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 that job in question paid $5 million a year, so yes HFPM15
+-1 I think the biggest issue here is that you’re being a little bitch. Principal in PE - LBOs
+-1 "ressentiment" Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 SM or MM Intern in IB-M&A
+-1 MS tech NYC > MOE NYC > Ever MP > JPM SF put MOE NYC second only because I'd not want to live in SF. (and def not MP) over NYC if given the choice but do you  Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 The more unknown shop you are at, the more likely to come across this bullshit work. Doubt GS does this for clients.  Exec VP in IB - Cov
+-1 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 It's a selective women in banking event, during which there would be amplifyme simulations, and case studies with bankers.. it's just i dont know how much can be done given failed tests anonymousmonkkey
+-1 bump for toronto? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 UBS Tech. Nobody works Saturday (no live deal flow which is needed for Saturday work approval) and group has a volunteer staffing model. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen

+-1 toronto anyone? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 any news on toronto processes? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 Wow that sounds like great exposure! Did you happen to know anybody working in the energy group at Test & Tickles in anchorage while you were there? DelusionalDave
+-1 I'd stay away from the San Fran. With it being so close to Anchorage, you'll get a lot of lazy, might I say slightly overweight, people from Alaska visiting. lucien_de_montclair
+-1 Low effort question, trading and IB are two totally different jobs. you need to think about which one you actually think you are interested in, neither skill set is directly transferable to the other. Trader in AM - Other
+-1  Efficiently Inefficient by Lasse Heje Pedersen is well worth a read. Angkar
+-1 I agree with most points above and feel often bad for the juniors, if it's indeed unnecessary superfluous unsolicited work. hungaroe
+-1 I know you’re being very honest with me, and I appreciate that. What attracts me to PE is it is a captivating field that transforms businesses by ịnjecting capital and strategic expertise, unlocking their potential. AuroraEquity
+-1 I know I am just trying to find the way  to squeeze myself through the narrow door, like a small business trying to find its own niche market. AuroraEquity
+-1 In my original note, I wrote about my experience in IB, Corp Dev, and PE. That in itself I suspect should be revealing about my technical chops (modeling, execution / DD, process mgmt) Principal in PE - LBOs
+-1 The US famously has tons of social mobility lol. Most of the richest families in the US made their fortune in the last 150 years. Compare that to the UK where you have house poor lords of Danberryshire etc. Associate 2 in Private Credit
+-1 C.R.E. ShervinSocial Security? You give money, that money is used to pay other people, there is not enough to pay you back Ozymandia
+-1 I appreciate the thoughtful response. I have 3 yrs of experience at an IPP (not 1 year as you wrote) though. And yes I am familiar with most of this market ddesign stuff that you mentioned. Principal in PE - LBOs
+-1 It actually is more merit-based compared to the states lol. In london you can't really network just to get interviews like in the states and there are way more overqualified candidates in london compared to the states brtfedd1312
+-1 Lil thing called a track record Swine-Linked-Notes
+-1 spd out Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 Hilarious that arb guys think they're special and pods need to give them special treatment. Man, size your positions in a way thay keeps you from blowing up. MMPM
+-1 shh the field is overcrowded, so plenty of Americans GS under Blankfein
+-1 why don’t you just quit vs whining like a bitc# here?  Assume no one wanted to hire you given you still seem to be there. We all get you are a loser why keep advertising it? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 Marco and Javier, relax! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 What is the highest you have heard of? I know mine is higher than average but I feel bad because it’s not the highest, as stupid as this sounds. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+-1 By definition you cannot become a nepo baby, it’s something you’re born into. SpreadDatAsk

+-1 1/2 in Thailand (but travel while there) and 1/2 back in my hometown Honolulu to maintain social connections and a plus if my kids go to college there. odog @digitalimmortality.com
+-1 Don’t really understand this question. An LBO is a full recap of the business so CoC is embedded. Are you asking whether a company has simultaneously raised debt while receiving an equity injection? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
