+6 Of course, happy to answer questions. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+6 Ok, so you’re asking someone for their time. And then you’re asking them to go out of their way to put time on your schedule. That comes off as incredibly arrogant and inconsiderate. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+6 Arrive: 9am seekinthealpha1
+6 Dude if you want to do it just go for it. You're still young and you can take risks, worst case scenario you can always go back to banking or a MBA. wuandale33

+6 They can do whatever they want buddy Intern in IB - Gen
+6 Unc got baited by the 1 day old account. Tragic. Principal in CorpStrat
+6 Cornell is the more logical choice. It’s the “better” overall school so if you ever decide you don’t want to do finance, you have more optionality at Cornell. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+6 Regarding the underlying assumptions, a good debtor side consultant will almost always push management to justify their rationale behind each and every number, and if it doesn't pass the BS test, they'll use more realistic Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge

+6 There's like 20 people from Warwick in evercore. Not a typical "feeder" , but still strong.  I'd say Exeter JPM is a decent example  Revama69
+6 Hi- for background first job out of school allocator/FOF grunt work...now macro PM many many years later. Research Analyst in AM - FI
+6 You’re right; Mike’s way is the only way. There’s no doubt you get a Blackstone internship so wouldn’t worry too much about anything else Prospect in IB - Gen
+6 Intern in IB - Gen
+6 @Bloomberg Victor Swezey please investigate Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+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 I see a lot of guys mentioning Costar. I had a subscription ~5 years ago and voted on it wasn’t worth it. Anything change since then? Pokemon Master

+6 What kind of retarded post is this based off one quarters earning report coolguy22
+6 Been a while since I was in the field, but 9/10 for accuracy. Hit the nail on the head with hours (for better or worse) and workload & types of work. PM in HF - EquityHedge
+6 Until you are a Principal, PE is a game of musical chairs. It’s much easier to keep a seat if you start at KKR / APO than if you start at a MM PE firm people are unfamiliar with. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+6 On a serious note would this not help me stand out? Or would recruiters just think I'm retarded 500thousand

+6 I am confident that I could sell you absolutely anything. VP in PE - LBOs
+6 Most objective people will tell you they’re all relative and each have their pros and cons. Recruiting and placement doesn’t work the way kids on WSO think it works. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+6 Last note here, perhaps a bit of optimism - go work your butt off, out-perform in the role, and make them roll out the red carpet to keep you happy (and avoid losing you to another firm).  SaaSChimp
+6 Super bullish on AI (whole company is). Seeing material gains in efficiency from analyzing/digesting multiple docs/files. Floor 3

+6 I almost exclusively use perplexity for search - I didn't mention it in the above. Investment Analyst in PE - Other
+6 If you like PE, and want a career in PE - do the PE path and evaluate the offer on its own merits vs. comparing it to the MBA path. They are two seperate questions. First_Lien_Larry
+6 But the article says Morgan Stanley changed the salary conditions after signature, so in theory that was not the deal they agreed to initially Handy_panda
+6 Retail - especially open air shopping centers is performing the best it has in over 20 years. Generally speaking, outside of COVID, has had less volatility than other asset classes. jtd1215
+6 Congrats on UBS! Intern in IB - Cov
+6 VP in IB - Gen QuiltEmerson
+6 To your first paragraph, that's largely why many multis force you to increase risk or lose capital + why hiring is so consistently aggressive. PM in HF - Macro

+6 I'm an Associate at a MF PE firm.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+6 I'm obviously biased towards PE, so take lightly, but a few more considerations for public investing:  SaaSChimp
+6 Because western society is built off high trust. Once you get scammed you realize just how much of daily commercial interaction only works because of trust.  miscer
+6 Thank you for your feedback - I agree with you and that's a great idea - we make content over @chefyunha on IG but haven't yet focused on seed oil per se - I am seeing some adoption by bigger companies like Lay's that rece bkzen
+6 Just casually transitioning into a MD gig at Blackstone. All in a Wednesday.  CRE

+6 This must sound so tuff if you’re a virgin  VP in RE - Comm
+6 Life throws many challenges your way, some you can predict and many you cannot. FinnesseGod
+6 Ensis is interesting. My preliminary read is that we are in a different state of the RX world compared to 10 years ago when spin-outs were more popular (think PJT from BX, Ducera from PWP, etc). Associate 2 in IB - Restr
+6 Well for one at work it’s good to at least be friendly with your coworkers. Especially if you’ll be with them for the majority of your waking hours. Hags28
+6 UVA, Stern, Michigan all good options. Just a question of what vibe you're looking for.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 Don’t you dare put Jefferies in the same convo as global you prestige whore Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 OP - what's the specific role you are taking? If it's on the investment side, in an area/asset class that you are interested in - it would be good hands on experience, as those seats are hard to find. i.e. Addinator
+6 It is a common story in banking. The firm relies heavily on the prestige to keep people working brutal hours but the reality of the daily management and politics often does not match that status. dean787
+6 Some quick thoughts. Ignore title. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+6 As long as you stay above 3.875 should be okay. Jeffery Montenbeauberg
+6 Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎 FailedInFinance
+6 My little thoughts since no one else chimed in Nomura in the lens of the Japanese banks is like what credit Suisse was in the lens of European banks Hags28
+6 Differing take than the crowd and coming from someone with 10yrs experience at mega sm fund. CPDDOUGH
+6 Work in PCA and do a lot with independent sponsors / emerging managers. Can be a great opportunity but a few questions you should consider: Roadshows_nohoes

+6 Surprising to see GS #2 in EMEA. Also BNP Paribas is doing extremely well Intern in IB - Cov
+6 On your first point, I don't disagree. It's hard to underwrite TV w/ the same conviction as 12 months ago. Too much change happening too fast. kuf135
+6 I know this might not have much weight coming from a stranger, but you are cared about and you have value. You don't need to be ultra-wealthy to have meaning in your life. Senior VP in CorpDev
+6 Medical office (er medical 'outpatient') has great long-term tailwinds: (A) The fat part of baby boomer bell curve is hitting its very high (3x) medical spending years.  The silver tsunami is absolutely a thing. asmith_1
+6 Currently work in MF PE. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+6 H1Bs for complex hard skill jobs like AI engineer or doctor, I understand. IB really isn't fundamentally a difficult job and has a lot of interest, it makes no sense why the US imports people for banking jobs. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 UBS does rlly suck. Quitting after bonus. Thank god. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Can't agree more. As soon as I got into an Ivy League I left A2C and joined WSO  Prospect in S&T - Other
+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 Let’s be honest here buddy If you didn’t go to UCC / Appleby / Crescent You’re better off going to Ivey, where it’s more meritocratic Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+6 Article link? JulianRobertson
+6 I feel like most of the MDs are bum MDs  Probably 20% of the MDs generating 80% of the revenue… Intern in IB - Gen
+6 UBS too high, LAZ too low, EVR M&A>EVR RX is wrong (need to separate by group, some groups are crushing and have much better exits), MOE HC > GS makes no sense, Gordon Dyal and Liontree too high as well. Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+6 Just man up Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
+6 Ignore above. You'll just lever off ARR or revenue instead (typically 1-2x). SaaSChimp
+6 How does this affect D&C's legacy? barclayscalgarydemon
+6 One thing I will say is that since my pre-frontal cortex has been developing I have started giving a fuck about things like education (as a proxy for IQ), family background, similar interests, emotional intelligence anonf0fty
