+-1 here we go DCM big dog over here, buddy go check in to make sure analysts are following comments Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 None are targets, I wouldn't commit to any just for the sake of a masters. Go for the targets, yes they are a higher cost but treat them like an investment. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 Incredible comment. 10/10. Hard for me to tell if you are braindead or purposely straw man at this point. The best part is you somehow comparing racial discrimination by council members to a Trump fantasy you have? larrysellers
+-1 . Hags28
+-1 Lots of shitty funds like actual fund I-III garbage independent sponsor slop spinouts heavily brand themselves as 'opportunities to take real risk and scale to mid-level/senior quickly', give offers quickly, kids accept an Business School in IB - Cov

+-1 Yikes, bumping into this thread two years later... hope you survived that toxic PE shop, OP! elsizinie939
+-1 Dealing with settlement fails is such an overlooked part of operations until the penalties actually start adding up. Great breakdown of how the whole process unfolds behind the scenes. Hanlon
+-1 Making the jump to a prop shop is definitely high risk, high reward compared to a bank. You really have to weigh the potential upside against losing that brand name early on. Hanlon
+-1 Hey I am definitely interested you can check out my work at s-1 . site taikhoomsojitrawala
+-1 Lowk you’re probably overthinking, as uncomfortable as it is, I’ve heard of people actually doing wack shit to be referred to an IB role. Intern in IB - Gen
+-1 SPDs are out Intern in IB-M&A
+-1 Bro is claiming a girl he never even met 💀 Amazon Prime
+-1 larrysellers Ozymandia
+-1 There’s nothing particularly great about it, the name brand reputation does a lot of heavy lifting. half day
+-1 I'm glad you get me. This is exactly how I feel. Reading fiction, learning guitar, crocheting does not make you interesting: it's "gay" (quotation marks bc I am not homophobic).  marlin_pardon2
+-1 This is too bearish. Dehe
+-1 use  biws  Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+-1 I obviously wouldn't; I didn't think HireVue would need a full suit, since it's literally a one-way interview they probably never watch and score it with AI. Will this error ding me tho? Wearing a T-shirt? The insider
+-1 MF for sure, is this a joke? why do you think everyone wants to work there - it’s not just pay  bananahunter_1029
+-1 Haven’t heard about that before . Honestly talked with some pas alumnis currently working in jpm and Morgan Stanley and they haven’t been from a target school  poulakitsiou
+-1 This program is a joke, very few to no serious non-value shops would aim to hire out of this. If you're interested only in value tho, go for it The Penguin
+-1 Anyone with “analyst 1” in their title should be banned from making comments about burnout Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+-1 . Hags28
+-1 HL done Prospect in IB-M&A
+-1 This forum shits on every single bank lol. I see that you've had some good chats with BofA but the biggest factor is they pay shit + M&A group handles the modeling.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+-1 They are leaking top bankers almost weekly to their rival banks from years of shitty pay and culture. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+-1 Get an offer from any of the places you mentioned first lmao. If you are a non-nepo, non-dei, and non-target, it will be a miracle to even get a DCM offer from a reputable bank if I have to exaggerate slightly.  Prospect in IB-M&A
+-1 I am Asian (not Indian). First time I have ever received a racist comment on WSO. Bummer it finally happened. Smoke Frog
+-1 The tell isn't hating the work. It's the Sunday you realize you've stopped imagining any version of your life that isn't this one. That's not weakness — it's information. alphajunkie
+-1 I’ve done 6 years of PE. I think I’m much more professional and understand politics, the importance of funding and capital structure and legal risk/docs much better.  VP in PE - LBOs
+-1 It’s all over the map. investor45
+-1 The incompetence is real and temporary, you're running in real time everything the seniors have already cached. That's a compression gap, not a talent gap, and it closes with reps. alphajunkie
+-1 any conclusion?? Anonymous Monkey
+-1 no i know/agree that in theory, MDs provide value by developing great client relationships. half day
+-1 Chiming in - ClaudexExcel is great for MF. GWN

+-1 egoistic son of a whore Anonymous Monkey
+-1 i don't know who he is bro is he you brother-in-law? Anonymous Monkey
+-1 On that note, Vista is currently at ~35 IP in flagship fund (from co-heads down to analysts) Also didn’t realize TB is this lean…maybe a lot of folks on their website isn’t flagship PE? Analyst 1 in Non-profit
+-1 Ahh yes, the Trump rallying cry. I’m not racist (except when I am). Being snarky on this forum definitely warrants a racist response. Smoke Frog
+-1 Here are steps you can take to understand what pay progression looks like at a single MANAGER hedge fund: 1. Ask the PM /endthread Benson Says
+-1 Not the main point here but people on WSO clearly have trouble processing basic information - just filter for Flagship on Vista website, and there are 54 names. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+-1 Deal volume is strong. Culture is the issue. Long hours. Intense. BofA delivers but you earn it. dean787
+-1 That’s just untrue lol…their website is outdated and I know who the ~35 ppl are. A lot of people on that website have alrdy left Analyst 1 in Non-profit
+-1 Incredibly stupid, but seems LPs still care about legacy brand names. New funds have been killing it Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+-1 You just insulted me, unprompted, without knowing anything about me (every single assumption you made in that post is wrong), only because you're butthurt about the fact that AI may be able to align logos and create strips Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 probably not worth it. just go start a new b2b ai calendar app like everyone else  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 Why are the above posts getting MS? If you’re down 50%+ why would allocators be willing to reset the HWM and take the loss? Only makes sense for new LPs. Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+-1 Go buy a stock, see if it goes up and judge yourself. Good luck  Hags28
+-1 The interest-rate part is what made me hesitate on rentals too. Hanlon
+-1 From what I have seen tech has surpassed finance for salaries and that gap is only going to continue to widen  financialrepublic
+-1 PE is cyclical. There's always been and will always be money to be made in software, just like healthcare, industrials, services, or any other sector. VP in PE - LBOs

+-1 UBG has the best placements for investment banking. Consistently sends at least a few people to Goldman healthcare or TMT every year. Username 123
+-1 No there will be another - but then many will go to zero some go to jail. Mostly in vindictive fury as a cascade of municipal pension induced bankruptcies develop. mkaypowlo
+-1 Either is fine really, but yeah most advice here is US specific it being a US-focussed site. Try the Canary Wharfian website instead EvitaPhamroq9m
+-1 Let me guess, Bocconi? Either way, try the Canary Wharfian website, most advice here is US specific and most have no clue what they are talking about lol EvitaPhamroq9m
+-1 as a non-target do I have a chance at PEI? herodynamic
+-1 Schools in europe are local. LSE for europe wide but the rest is local recruiting. Aim german schools for germany or top UK unis (Oxford, LSE or LBS)! boib_1
+-1 THANKS , CAN U HELP ME ON WHERE TO START LEARNING TECHNICALS tsaishreeharshalegend
+-1 Can’t do anything unless we kick the bums of social security and Medicaid / Medicare which will never happen.  tryyuav
+-1 It’s public markets and you need to be responsive during trading hours. PM is sitting in a meeting with someone for 45mins and will be receiving trade emails & position correspondence from analysts. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 America was a nation founded by immigrants Intern in IB-M&A
+-1 DCM is not real banking Intern in IB - Gen

+-1 lol. why are you not prepared?  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 I do think Sept is pretty insane, but ngl there's already an app open for them. Genuinely absurd. At the very least, seems like the January opening for the last 2 years will not be the case Prospect in IB-M&A
+-1 Leerink festive86
+-1 This is wrong. Applicants who impress on the day can get referred for recruiting processes. Source: work at evr Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
