+-1 I think it’s mid levels that get eliminated. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+-1 Congrats on FTI thelegend272829
+-1 Nah bro London is a shit hole. If you are in like hk/Singapore why would u move. London is not NY, SF… gdogmoney
+-1 Lol yes they are Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 PJT in S and Perella in A+ IMO. Don’t really understand your whole A+ tier but the three B5s are also too high relative to their peers in B. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+-1 What does that have to do with "terrorists who repeatedly chant “death to America” should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons"? Isn't that the main point, according to you? Bruvver
+-1 Housing is definitely cheaper in London. You can buy/rent for £3.5k/month a 2-bed house in very nice areas (Blackheath/Greenwich, Hampstead, Wimbledon etc). 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+-1 Nobody in finance (working) lives in Mayfair. It's like saying living on 53rd Street. You can live in South Kensington/Chelsea/Hampstead/Greenwich/Clapham for £3.5k per month with 2-bed houses. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+-1 babies born in 2026 have like a 3% chance of being born in North America Ozymandia
+-1 PWP is not that good… thinkpad_1739
+-1 HL has an army of people, far more than their solid (not top) deal flow warrants. I would expect the median analyst to not work very hard, but a few to get crushed. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+-1 Ok so I can probably make even more in overtime pay then. This a BB, and it says in my contract that I'm a "non-exempt" employee (meaning I am not exempted from protections under the FLSA which include overtime pay). jakepeanutbutter
+-1 It all depends on the criteria you use. Ofc they do way less deals and collect way less fees than evercore or gs or whatever, but the pay is still top of the street. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+-1 This is tough to see. It's a reminder that in this market, operational efficiency isn't just a buzzword; it's a survival strategy.  starterstackai
+-1 this is actually disgusting behavior someone must needed a job really bad Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 Don't go into real estate. Get into FP&A, Marketing, Engineering, be a doctor/lawyer, or even sales. commercialrainmaker
+-1 BMO M&A? Wtf is that. At least do BMO mining as that is still holding on to the brand name despite all the folks who made it no longer being there VP in IB - Cov
+-1 if your interviewer rescheduled last minute or no showed and then rescheduled afterwards, would that piss you off even slightly? WorstOfBothWorlds
+-1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems like you're grappling with a mix of career uncertainty and existential dread about the future of finance. Let’s break this down: WSO Monkey Bot
+-1 The reality is that (if this works) we can finally get out of the Middle East and put all of our focus on China. Iran was also a big supplier of cheap oil to China. monkeyvjit
+-1 The bank as a hole is getting made fun of here. LockedIn Bezos
+-1 .......... LockedIn Bezos
+-1 Nice one, but I'm mooving to the U.S. next year and I was actually hoping the U.S. would win because unlike you, I'm not putting an other country before America. LockedIn Bezos
+-1 What are exits like? whoooo
+-1 They have three strategies. One is heavy sourcing, one is a little sourcing, one is zero sourcing. It’s public on their website so u should be able to tell which is what Analyst 1 in Non-profit
+-1 What color/race were the Dems in Californai that once supported three strike laws and tough on crime? Asking for a goy friend. pjm.priv
+-1 PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀Ozymandia financeabc
+-1 PWP AS2 was $525K lmao Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 That is true, however, they turn the prorated weekly salary into a prorated hourly salary and multiply it by 1.5x for hours worked above 40 in a week.  jakepeanutbutter
+-1 It is a result of the Fair Labor Standards Act which went into effect the summer of 2024. My summer would be the second to receive this over time treatment.It's all in my contract, though I won't be sharing that. jakepeanutbutter
+-1 Yeah from what I've read that's probably my best move. Everyone will do it differently so I'll chat some Y1 analysts. I'm just curious if anyone else has been logging OT in their internships jakepeanutbutter

+-1 Their portfolio of what they sold was the good stuff that could be sold. The rest is arguably unsellable - their book is public, just cross compare marks to other BDCs who are more honest like Ares or Apollo wallstreetmemes
+-1 del bn1998
+-1 UChicago ranked 1st and Darmounth second in IB recruitment in 25 LockedIn Bezos
+-1 Single trans* women PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+-1 People here are so fucking delusional. Frontier models can already work for hours at end. Albeit mostly in coding domain for now. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+-1 Dyson is incredible. Super weird. Have gotten looks everywhere I’ve applied. futurerockstar56
+-1 dont worry bmo is ass anyways no_home_jerome
+-1 news flash this kids at MS and is about to get his offer rescinded like the moron from last summer in my class.  Incoming Analyst in S&T - Equities
+-1 did I say tier? i said experience and exposure wise. Wut is so important abt tier, at the end of the day it's abt who make it to VP to principal to MD not whether you are stuck as an asso at BX eatbanana1234
+-1 Quick question for interested readers: If you're targeting PE / VC in Europe, what background are you coming from? • Investment Banking• Consulting• Startups• Something else giulio.martini.PE-VC
+-1 One thing I notice often in Europe vs the US is that candidates underestimate how important deal exposure signals are on a resume. giulio.martini.PE-VC
+-1 Trump is devastating the lives of millions of people and for what?  This is not how the United States should act.  I do not like throwing around the Hitler comparisons but there are some similarities. financeabc
+-1 Congress is busy rimming his ass 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+-1 FIG and consumer Incoming Analyst in IB - Gen

+-1 Delete Substack_Guy
+-1 Me reading this having signed a large cap software buyout fund wondering if im screwed and whether i need to re recruit. I genuinely wonder as if i made a really bad decision and fcked over my career. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 Congrats on PWP. But if LAZ/MOE/PJT, probably no need to. CVP is in the same bucket as the other 3 in terms of exits.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 Can you just post them here? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+-1 Personally,  I think you need to get to a better geo if large cap is your goal. And it really depends what office you are in now. The ones you listed have very different reputations.  Anonymous Monkey
+-1 Agree here. Like LA or Chicago - fine. Houston - definitively tier 3 (sorry). SaaSChimp
+-1 You thought this was clever?  lake_michigan
+-1 That's fair. No wrong choice here, unless it's DB 😂. monkeybiz117
+-1 Where do you work on buy side that you have all this time to post lol. I need to work there Intern in IB - Gen
+-1 Are you grouping Mizuho and Greenhill under one weighted average prestige? Mizuho is the product and coverage groups and mostly do financing while Greenhill is generalist M&A, separate recruiting processes. Fog8081
+-1 The difference here is that he has no control over the situation. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+-1 By the looks of it, we are getting closer to a 10-year+ conflict than a swift resolution. Markets are pricing 4 weeks of turmoil but that seems overly optimistic. 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+-1 They work really hard and the presence is really getting better quickly this year multiple EB placements and a BX PE placement. UBSTopBucket
+-1 Anyone has 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there in between deal related items while in the office unless youre at a true sweatshop. Deal Team Six
+-1 South Carolina has probably had the best year they have ever had. Anonymous_26267387
+-1 I don't wanna sound like I'm coping here because I'm not that short but why do you need them to be taller than you so badly. Most dudes would not care if their attractive wife or gf was taller. Raijin
+-1 gavin baker @ atriedes HFPM15
+-1 Lol they do. It's probably the stickiest newsflow in the past year, or at least as far back as George Floyd. Is this a meme post or something? therealgekko
+-1 It is a bank everyone on here has heard of. Top 10 in the U.S. Prospect in S&T - FI
+-1 I worked literally every hour I marked for payroll, and interns in my cohort were easily pushing 60+ hour weeks to meet deadlines, go to events, and shadow at their desks.  Prospect in S&T - FI
+-1 What is the rough average of your last 3 year comp and risk budget?  PM in HF - Other
+-1 Smu wipes the floor with northeastern not a question jakdelacker
+-1 Your best bet is to transfer to a "super target" such as Williams/Amherst (the greatest institution of all time) lucien_de_montclair
+-1 With the current state of Canadian IB your age is the least of your concerns. Might even help you blend in as FT IB Analyst postings are starting to look for 2-3 related yoe instead of new grad. alfredkong
+-1 Noem is out and the fist fighting plumber is in.  The video of the hearing is funny financeabc
+-1 It’s AI bossman TopBoy.-

+-1 congrats on Maverick! financeax
+-1 Ok intern Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+-1 Lol I meant to say they are getting cooked, have heard that they aren't placing into top tier shops this year but could be wrong Coastee
+-1 True. So weird that people in the industry are talking about how great these models are getting and how its only a matter of time before all the jobs are eliminated. neil88
+-1 lol Analyst 2 in HF - EquityHedge
+-1 I would go to Penn CAS and lock in and get into the Wharton clubs, even tho its harder. monkeylover9001
+-1 you should read the post and do something better with your life  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+-1 I think we can both agree that being pushed 100+ hours is edging towards inhumane, but this post was making a more general statement on the IB industry as whole (or so it seems). Prospect in IB-M&A
+-1 Sorry bro you’re inefficient Intern in IB - Cov
+-1 you're cooked LMAO, I got the offer already. hehe :3 YIPPIE31
+-1 Move to Scandinavia. The work–life balance is great—9 to 5 and then you go home. The pay is solid too. PZ2725
+-1 Assuming both are in coverage, there’s not a big diff between the two and likely will have to lateral either way to a better bank after a year. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+-1 They led on the Schroders deal, that should tell you something.  Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+-1 lol Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
