+-1 The point is that, mechanically, in a DCF model, you include the value from cash flows along the way into the overall value of the company. In an LBO model, only the terminal value is compared to the entry price. Prospect in IB - Cov

+-1 Super good outside the Americas (exits to European MFs), but think it’s middle of the pack for NYC. Not a terrible outcome  Intern in IB - Gen
+-1 On the tech side Qatalyst in M&A and MS Menlo in ECM  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+-1 lol a decent amount of PE firms in NYC are back to 5 days in office. Just FYI. I feel like there’s misconception that that it’s only psycho notorious WSO firms that do it. But that’s not true anymore. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+-1 I would probably highlight Qatalyst (M&A), GS SF TMT (M&A/ECM), and MS Menlo (ECM) - These tend to get the coolest deals, which for the most part are in the tech ecosystem (no offense to other sectors. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 Haha ur chilling. As far as the club culture, it’s pretty cut throat. In one of the top ones myself, so know the AR for them. I know MII/AIF take 1 to 2 sophomores a year. VVF/GMG is open to more. Prospect in IB-M&A
+-1 good luck at deloitte PhantomGhost

+-1 bump Prospect in IB - Gen
+-1 he was a slave to the grind I went to HBS, exited my company, now I'm just coasting  PhantomGhost
+-1 You are correct that EBTIDA is 1000, but the WACC here is not really relevant. I get that  -  Intern in IB - Gen
+-1 I am at one of GS TMT or MS Menlo, and I think Q still is the better bank for M&A. IPO's are different, BB's will always lead them because of much stronger access to investor capital. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 As a hypernontarget you'll be lucky to get KeyBanc New York. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 This might be different when you’re in the seat but I feel like any case dealing with material fraud would be really interesting - FBG right now (LAZ RX) and FTX more notably (PWP RX). Intern in IB - Gen
+-1 Still the same if you're at a hypernontarget. Of course if you have personal connections to better firms you could do better than KeyBanc. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+-1 Anyone who says they don't use AI in their day to day work will be out of a job in 3 - 5 years. ioncewenttoschool
+-1 Gonna say it again... AI IS NOT A BUBBLE. ojapar20
+-1 People just assume this is 96 - 01 all over again, but they don't understand utilization at all.  Which is ironic when it comes from the RE professionals.  Is AI perfect? No, but is it all useless slop? No. ioncewenttoschool
+-1 Would put them at the same tier tbh, if not UVA a little higher just due to placement Intern in IB-M&A
+-1 The AI haters really get their panties caught in their ass about this. ioncewenttoschool

+-1 Why’d I get monkey shit for posting that then Intern in IB - Gen
+-1 Millennials are not smarter than Gen X.   ioncewenttoschool
+-1 Emotional? No, the only possible way to be emotional about this is if you are in an anti AI position. Understanding that AI is going to replace you is just a sober acceptance of reality. ioncewenttoschool

+-1 recently spoke to an alumni at a top BB who told me they officially consider vandy a target now. the upcoming SA class has 16 kids from vandy (2nd most, more than Harvard, Wharton...). Intern in IB-M&A
+-1 jbw gigachimp2323

+-1 I hate NYC 188m
+-1 You sent an email of a pitch w/o checking with ChatGPT like I did? It's 2026 and you are supposed to be the digital native generation; you failed to paste an image with high resolution as well. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 If you are in the good Kelley finance clubs, stay. Else look into the processes at the other schools. Prospect in IB-M&A
+-1 Historically, there were also many firms that would not hire Jews and so Jews would found their own firms. Perhaps more so in law than finance, but Bear Sterns definitely an example of this. Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+-1 dayumsam$135-150k base for associate and 50-75% bonus IIRC high hopes
