+-1 Thanks for the TLDR. Corp_titan
+-1 "No direct rebuttal to that- I do think that the world would be a better place today if Trump had lost" anon1019
+-1 it's mostly just typical forum echo chamber behavior. people here over-index on prestige and league tables to a point where if you aren't at a top 3 firm, it's considered "bad." elsizinie939
+-1 I’m talking about PERE 15-50 funds (Ex. BlackRock, PCCP, GSAM). Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+-1 This is a result of the feminization of the work place. Fairly simple. If this offends you, you are the problem. Mephistopheles
+-1 That’s not a policy. Those were actions by public and private companies. IRR you ready to rumble
+-1 Naturally, the next question is, which SMs have the most flexible PMs with the best economics for juniors? Intern in IB-M&A
+-1 Presumably wife makes like 200 + who said two kids exact same age? rooseveltfan
+-1 v strong MM chemicals practice w/ the acquisition of Valence pik_floyd
+-1 Do your research.   716jasper
+-1 “Execution focused” means holding pen on the model lol Teller in Non-profit
+-1 You'd think differently if you lost your job or were not allowed to attend school. 716jasper
+-1 Welp, maybe ppl use that word differently but what drew analysts to levfin is usually the execution ie modeling for them to talk about in interviews. Teller in Non-profit
+-1 Your background positions you as a strong candidate for Sales & Trading (S&T) roles in London, especially given your experience in macro sales and structuring, as well as your familiarity with derivatives and Pytho WSO Monkey Bot
+-1 This is just false on data. 3 people of the last Industrials class went to UMM PE (last year also had 3 UMM exits) including top UMM's. LevFin has multiple MF PC exits every year. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 Michigan and NYU aren’t that high. Not saying they’re bad schools. But based purely on prestige they’re not on the same level as Brown and Cornell. A school may place well but that doesn’t make it prestigious  CuriousGeorge1024
+-1 Any field of study works. I am just wondering which parent uni has the most prestige and name recognition in the world. DeletedAccount...
+-1 Well you got guys like Larry Ellison milking Anglo dominated USA teat (Pentagon Jedi contracts) as an ashkenazi jew, and then remitting proceeds to IDF in Israel. Sheldon Adelson. Redux. Bloomberg. Redux. zuriwasser

+-1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know: WSO Monkey Bot
+-1 Why Oxford over Cambridge? DeletedAccount...
+-1 I'm not sure. Maybe the higher-ups at Vista are content to keep making $ off their management fee? If you look at recent WSO threads, seems like a lot of mid-level departures  Associate 1 in AM - Other
+-1 The U.S. wants stable energy flows, secure trade routes, and to support its allies. You don’t really need more complicated explanations than that. Soros_
+-1 Congrats on Evercore intern! Senior VP in IB - Cov
+-1 Thanks for your response mate! Have you personally met anybody that knows Oxford but not Cambridge? What about for Harvard? DeletedAccount...
+-1 150K base. 50-75% bonus. 50-75 BPs of carry. Seems reasonable.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+-1 kiltedlowlander CRE
+-1 Thanks for the reply; glad to have gotten a European perspective. So you’d say that only Harvard/Oxford have universal prestige and name recognition internationally? DeletedAccount...
+-1 It's Dallas. Role only requires 4-6 YOE. Fund is small, a good chunk of comp will be carry based. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+-1 Do you really want to work at a place called “butterfly equity”? Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+-1 Very helpful thank you for the insights. Similar to special sits, would turnaround PE/loan to own (ik there’s only 2-3 good loan to own shops) need more Rx/Rx-lite experience prior Intern in IB - Cov
+-1 I know people who went loan to own from lf Intern in IB - Gen
+-1 Ahaha did I piss you off enough to make you go on my un-updated WSO profile? Your comment just proves my point. yomamasuckdisdick
+-1 Who is downvoting as inaccurate, how do you know if I’m lying lmfao Intern in IB - Gen
+-1 What do you think the points of life are? yomamasuckdisdick
+-1 You have zero credibility so doesn't mean much to me Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-1 Well you say escp bachelor is really good which is a lie...  boib_1
+-1 you're overthinking. focus on funds with decent returns. the question implies a lack of understanding about how the distressed market works. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 Ok so basically either no one knows on this forum or there is no X factor to begin with (as indicated above). Any final perspectives to add from anyone here? Intern in PE - Other
+-1 Yeah like Bear Sterns (many UBS people ironically worked with some). Don’t rely on legacy brand, Wells is dominating Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+-1 Lol this guy again. What a loser you are bruh Qwentin8
+-1 Heard they were underwhelming especially compared to volume and hours worked. I think it's a sweat shop cmbsdude
+-1 How is industrials? Prospect in IB-M&A
+-1 How could you argue for LAZ to be in a different tier? Certainly none of the banks with it should be moved up and certainly it should be a tier above PWP. I mean it’s def better than MOE as well. redfin
+-1 lol ur the third world. we're flooding you with money so you can only lap it up like the dog you are fuku
+-1 lateraled from mm to eb about a year ago so take this w a grain of salt bc the market was better then. that said the fundamentals of lateral recruiting havent changed. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+-1 good summary frank2042
+-1 Congrats on Citi war dog
+-1 you're welcome! jack20
+-1 Europids find ignorance so charming when they do it… Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+-1 I know this guy hates that Nordics learn American English. Your island is washed! Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+-1 Don't listen to the clowns arguing here. I'm French so I can tell you ESCP Bsc has no value as a standalone. You'll have to "wash" it with a master degree because it's worthless. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+-1 Agreed with everything here except Haveli’s $4.5B raise isn’t very impressive despite the headlines - it took 5 years to raise that and probably deployed already at some pretty disgusting marks for software co’s Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 Lazard is overrated as fuck lmao Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+-1 . DeletedAccount...
+-1 What about Oxbridge? DeletedAccount...
+-1 Dude probably works at UBS Gooman
+-1 Mate we see that you are an escp bachelor student... happy to see I am not the only one to call out the shenanigans of the escp management on their bachelor... I repeat avoid at all costs! boib_1
+-1 nice information hoitber5

+-1 I'd look a bit out of place if I was a bachelor student at this age mate. But hey if that helps you keep your narrative going then keep at it  Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+-1 undisclosed ad MMM6969
+-1 They hired women  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+-1 for which group? T122y
+-1 Thanks, this is super helpful... unfortunately the two cities we are from have unfavorable taxation schemes and laws that overwhelmingly favor tenants - will have to look elsewhere haha. Intern in IB - Gen
+-1 I think these guys make less than you probably realize.  CRESF
+-1 LOL @ EVR has great culture. Also the notion of "in concept more prestigious" and "more exclusivity" are some of the most non-target shit I've heard in a while. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-1 BB as the ivy league. EB are some top LACs and non-Ivies (stanford, Qatalyst - MIT, EVR - Duke, Moelis - Chicago, PWP - Hopkins, PJT - Williams/Amherst) Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 Cool story Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+-1 Lily is that u huhsks
+-1 Q-Not a woman but curious how women in high finance in general view men in the industry? Do these women seek to date/marry men in the same field or do you guys tend to prefer men outside of the industry? James' Bond
+-1 Also don't know where you work, but don't pods fire on a formulaic basis? also gross loss comparisons feel silly in a hf context. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 I think it's hilarious to make a thread criticizing those who've made group-level observations based on subjective experience and then to do the same yourself. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 Ah yes, discriminating against people on the basis of their race and gender is evil UNLESS you're punching up. And we wonder why there aren't more "allies". Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-1 del WaltSim
+-1 It is funny because even though the analysts who sign this won't get fired (because could be interpreted as retaliation),  I bet you they will never get promoted and will see their bonuses evaporate simply based on "p 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+-1 Just adding a comment as someone fairly senior in the industry and who is now "at the other side" of the tunnel: 8'Banana_Stacker'2
+-1 Lot of pontification and prognostication from a bunch of guys who have trouble projecting cash flow for a business 12 months from now Pipe down pipsqueaks Swine-Linked-Notes
+-1 Want to get the course so bad, any chance you could send it over 🙏😭 elpiraton
+-1 how many times are you going to copy/paste the same fkn question? no shit its an anomaly offer - any dunce with a functional internet connection could spend 5 min and figure that out themselves.   Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+-1 Very cooked if buyout. Not as much if in real growth equity (Coatue, Dragoneer, etc) therealgekko
+-1 I was trying to do the same thing with your comment, but clearly it did not come across that way. My bad (although not my bad enough to adjust the rhetoric because I am too lazy for that shit). jl12
+-1 So you’d suggest anyone in VC, GE or Tech buyout to pivot? Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+-1 I will keep this Q&A open for another 2 weeks and then I will go back to my real world :) Feel free to post questions before that. James' Bond
+-1 Except O&G is not as privately held as software, and therefore you can get more exposure to the sector through the public markets. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+-1 I know this is an old thread, so I apologize. Does this apply for companies like WF/Jeff/RBC as well? I'm considering lateraling due to the fear that a non-BB/EB name might close doors for me. Prospect in IB-M&A
