+6 That wasn’t really the context here. It was a small team that is entirely white male, and I never mentioned kids in my intro - the only thing I said was that I grew up in the area. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+6 thanks gpt! Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A

+6 Control your diet. Figure out your triggers and AVOID THEM. Do not "limit them" just avoid them. Doing this, has pretty much solved 75% of my problems - I had to cut out a lot, including even pasta for the most part. nutmegger189
+6 Okay, valid rebuttal. And I see your points. Investment Analyst in VC
+6 P72 has great training, it’s the oldest program, and academy associates have gone on to become PMs at P72 or have been successful at the other platforms. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge

+6 This sounds like an incredible opportunity man, and I’d absolutely jump on it if I were in your position. Billy Walsh
+6 Yes but it will require a fundamental shift in society to rid of this behavior collectively. Covid kids turn into covid adults who will have screen addicted socially inept kids etc. liquidiot
+6 These modeling tests are usually testing whether you can take a set of assumptions and build a clean, error-free cash flow under time pressure, not whether you can build a development model from memory. repetutor

+6 Think about the kids your age who stormed the beaches of Dunkirk to defeat the Japanese Axis forces in Belgium in WW1. RestIess
+6 Are you starting as an FT Analyst in AM or in IB? Because if you're starting in IB, then don't forget that you won't actually have any time to explore the city once you start work. Angus Macgyver
+6 PE recruiting is hard and I think the past few years have been harder than years prior. About 5 years ago there were many more PE roles since everybody was fundraising and there was a new spinout every week. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+6 After Big 4 I went into a front-office analyst role at a large bank then moved into corporate development & M&A. Deal Kangaroo

+6 So true what could have been Racecar321123

+6 Truist Atlanta HQ. No free food, have to pay for parking, 5 days a week in person. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 You're welcome - glad that it was helpful. Addinator
+6 Wharton MBA grad here. I've always thought that post-MBA PE recruiting is a league of its own. You need a prior buyside experience regardless of school. From there, you are on your own. hot1590
+6 Ok I’ll give you the rundown. It’s really incredibly simple it’s not easy but it simple. Capital is coming from anywhere traditional vs out of the box. Reigns and RedBulls
+6 u don't need to be a professional basketball player to hate on brandin podziemski idkwhatimdoing123
+6 Congrats on UBS! Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+6 All of that sounds great. Three things I would add are:  CRE

+6 $5.5k a month for a 2-bedroom? That's gonna be hard in the Gramercy, the Village, the UWS, at least if you want something halfway nice. Angus Macgyver
+6 Guys go enjoy christmas. I don't tell my analysts to take time of to post on WSO cmon VP in IB-M&A
+6 I think you have a pretty broad range of exit opportunities.  Associate 2 in HF - Event
+6 You probably can. As others have noted it is about dedicating the mileage and not being obese. you dont need expensive watches, just good shoes, socks, and miles. Horatio Horatio
+6 Funny comment on CB. I will say this. CB has good culture if you are a total Wharton hardo who likes to live in the office and enjoy “free sushi/pizza” expensed on the company card. Hags28
+6 Has anyone heard or are we expecting to learn on the 24th? renegade1
+6 No yeah no bud, that’s what I’m talking aboot eh?  Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+6 Agree with a lot of what was said above, but will add another specific point - for context I recently graduated from HSW. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+6 I have some past experience recruiting for Chicago IB from nyc. I had Wharton on my resume and top bucket EB analyst experience as well. Hags28
+6 Value investing is more a philosophy. Buying something with a margin of safety. Buying something that trades below its intrinsic value. Lot of people dont really understand what value investing it.  Hellogarden
+6 If you like gold for some reason, invest in gold. It doesn't really have any fundamentals to go off of, but I generally think that you're fine using 5% - 10% of your investment portfolio for "fun". overandout
+6 In a similar situation, albeit a few years older than you. Started at a BB and moved to PE while also having MBB offers. Presume you require sponsorship? Associate 2 in PE - Other
+6 I don't want to discourage you, but that just isn't that useful enough for someone to take a punt on you with little else that's relevant experience, to be honest. Lester Freamon
+6 Canadians are obsessed with us. Can’t remember the last time I gave a dedicated thought to Canada.  Associate 1 in IB - CB
+6 Your definition of "wealthy" and "young" are incredibly restrictive, which is why you can only think of celebrities, athletes, tech entrepreneurs etc.. Fred Fredburger
+6 Stealing an ‘Intern in IB’s’ comments/work and reposting it as a new post just to keep milking SB’s on the UBS hate gravy train is diabolical levels of uselessness.  Executive Director in IB-M&A

+6 No actual "elitist" loses sleep over how much money they could have saved going to Washington State UnclePhilly
+6 MnIGuy festina_lente
+6 Spent 4 years in AD, now working IB. Assuming you mean you’re about to hit your 20 year mark, which would put you in late 30s/early 40s territory. Energ-yGuy
+6 not at wells personally, but wells at C- is insane lmao Intern in IB - Cov
+6 “Give me your alpha because I don’t have any of my own and I’m obviously seething with jealousy that other people are capable enough to do well in this industry” Works at Citadel Investment Group
+6 WAMCO has been pretty well gutted, IMO, over the past two years - virtually cut in half from $381 in 2024 until now, call it $240b nowadays give or take. Addinator
+6 I know what you mean, I am 5 years in to a PM role (in Fixed Income) and do feel the same in some ways. I guess my reflections are that this isn't AM specific. batrickpatemans
+6 We are going to win and win so much that you will be tired of winning.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+6 Currently work in MF PE. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+6 Director in S&T - FI Director in S&T - FI
+6 I don't really care to provide them with mental health anymore, as if they just had a bad day and need to talk about their feelings. Yes I do support draconian measures because it's what works. JulianRobertson
+6 But their grandma was discriminated against in 1850 and only allowed to vote in 1950. this yt Beckie deserves a leg up in hiring / promotions. By that analogy, blacks deserve all of US. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+6 I never worked at GS but McK and have a broad group of friends in PE, Consulting, Banking, Law.  Associate 2 in PE - Other
+6 In ten years, people (at least in the multifamily and single-family space) will look back and say housing was an obvious investment. TheDebtStar
+6 I work in infra so sharing my two cents here. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+6 Typical inaccurate post made by a college freshman. UBS LA doesn’t even exist anymore. Remaining team of FT/Interns got absorbed into WF LA. Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+6 My roommate worked there. I used to get back from work pretty late (EB) and sleep around 2-3 am. He rarely gets back before that.  where's my roommate
+6 Mikel Arteta will save the fund TheGeneralWhoBecameASlaveWhoBecameAGladiator
+6 (1) This is a very nice range to be raising equity. However, it is very different than raising big-money funds. The target market is very different.  jl12
+6 I don’t think accounting materially helps with your immediate goal of becoming a REPE analyst after college, especially if you are doing finance and minoring in RE.   odog @digitalimmortality.com
+6 If by great talent he means Barclays rejects who were disgruntled that they were bottom bucket/low bonus/bad future prospects and decided to leave them sure! Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+6 I feel like you're taking the statement too literally. The job market is more nuanced than a systematic thing such as tenure directly translating to specific exit opps.  FinnesseGod
+6 All in all, it looks you're in a strong position, all things considered. You've done your two-year IB stint, you have a strong skillset that's marektable, and you have a good basis for what you don't want to do.  FinnesseGod
+6 Being a bit more realistic, let's say this associate really only has three years of experience. It could be that in the three years buyside, this junior never quite got the grooming needed and is looking for that now. Research Associate in AM - Equities
+6 Not sure what specific role you are asking about but I’ll give my attempt at a genuine take. MD at a very large fund, have been here for 10+ years. Did standard IB and MM PE prior. Austin Powers
+6 Brokerage is easier for the avg person than being an investor. Being the BEST at either is the same proposition: you need to sharp and dedicated.  Principal in RE - Comm

+6 almost all of the new hires were at the same bank before Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 Late to the party here but this is a phenomenal assessment. I formally worked at Hines and the lack of HR presence (at least in the Midwest) was horrific. spacequest45
+6 I think for careers, looking back at mine, the market mainly helped me decide what to do next. odog @digitalimmortality.com
+6 At the margin positive with reply but hard to read too much into any single data point and could also be punting you. A lot of things are process. Anonymous Monkey
+6 If you have LMM PE experience then you should have 3-Statement and LBO modeling down. RCJ92
+6 Anecdotal data points but I have seen this worked for FAANG SWEs. Can argue they are more prestigious than IBD although their headcounts are like 5-10x of IBD every year. A few things here Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+6 I look around real estate and everything is sales.  REDebt
+6 festina_lente CRE
+6 Retarded OP, this is the only way it will affect recruiting.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
