+-1 Every public bank has a fiduciary duty. NOT an "American" duty - and I say this as an American citizen. This is just a weird entitled post. superinv123

+-1 Pls fix grammar, thx. Intern in IB - Gen
+-1 All I can say is that it came from a reliable source. Apparently it wasn't even investments division, it was some client/product function. NYC office too, if that matters. juker
+-1 Go apply to the 90% of banks that don’t sponsor and see if you get an offer then.. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 The issue with hiking rates is that it doesn’t actually fix the global shortages that Donald Trumps war war will cause. It’s merely used as a tool to decrease demand. And even if Gideon Rose
+-1 ojapar20Sorry guys but you're all wrong. IsItREPE
+-1 Hopefully Trump dies soon. Not that chubby eyeliner boy is much better, but his daddy Peter Thiel won’t let him ruin the economy.  IsItREPE

+-1 Given your smug responses to my fellow citizens, you should probably just head back to China Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+-1 Anonymous Monkey: generating alpha48291
+-1 Thanks for all the help guys Prospect in IB-M&A

+-1 It's stolen work, repackaged into sloppy hallucinations. Ozymandia
+-1 Def try for EB, agree with you on the MM concerns. Think you’ll get a lot of questions and they might pass you over bc you’re “over-qualified” Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+-1 Please, if you're below the age of 25-26 do not touch AI when just getting started in your buyside seat. As tempting as it is, you are too young to outsource your brain before ever learning how to be an investor. loud_bathroom
+-1 Impossible to make plans with family/friends/significant other due to the fact that you can be called in at any time.  GS under Blankfein

+-1 CVP does not pay Aso1 $200k base – but A2A retention bonus is $200k. Base is around ~$170-180k Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+-1 This is amazing. VP in IB - Cov
+-1 push - any perspectives also for GHL london? GoPikachu
+-1 No such thing as a “deal” you like a property it makes sense and you move forward. You will learn more as an operator than plugging numbers into excel Analyst 1 in RE - Other
+-1 that's huge - our team has heard that pitch before but ended up having to reprompt or prompt engineer. does it do a decent job on the first rev? N/A in IB - Restr
+-1 Echoing some of the comments above, def apply to every bank but culture wise its very dependent on the team itself which comes from the MDs Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+-1 JPM LevFin is paradise Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+-1 Apparently they've returned capital on the first two deals in the smaller fund (2024 vintage) within 18 months. if you look at the public company filings, that smaller fund was up 30%+ after a year. economyisland
+-1 Seems BofA is doing much better this year (in total IB fee terms) with a lower IB headcount. I’d not be surprised to see BofA bumping up bonuses significantly this year.  gelato_cuspids1d
