+-4 Analyst at top team in BB in London Intern in CorpFin
+-4 How relevant are the Capital Interview Experts questions for ft rounds FlowStateFX
+-4 yeah the questions are pretty relevant for FT recruiting, a few of them came up in my interviews. I used the course and thought it was helpful, so would recommend it DeltaRidge
+-4 Good luck with FT recruiting! Intern in IB - Gen
+-4 What we are slowly doing by getting rid of the Ivy League requirement is killing prestige since naturally over time the idea of doing ib as a learning experience goes down when someone from bama is working there since it’s Intern in ER
+-4 Investment Banking is haraam. If you are a muslim wanting to do IB, you either value the dunya a bit too much / do not actually care. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-4 Wharton would have been a tougher pill to swallow? Ok tool. Smoke Frog
+-4 Anonymous Monkey: The upsides are way more than those minor points you mentioned: Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+-4 The whole "I know a guy" thingSure yea Backoffice_Boss
+-4 You are both wrong, if you weren’t posting as anon I would happily dm you a picture of my bonus paystub to prove you (and the rest of this WSO forum) wrong  Director in IB - Cov
+-4 I would even count the ~5 local flagship as nepotism bc fundamentally you are just hiring someone bc you went to the same college or live in the same neighborhood as the candidate.  Anonymous Monkey
+-4 London TMT to PAI partners  DistressedDD
+-4 using it for feedback is fine, it knows finance well enough. two things i'd watch. the questions and the advice both come out generic. it's guessing at what gets asked. OFFERGOBLIN
+-4 Yeah but I don’t think comp is really the point.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-4 Actually a good post. All prospects should read  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-4 Yet you’ll always be Indian and you’ll never make as much money as me or any halfway successful buyside guy buddy. We don’t want you north of the city, go back to Jersey. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+-4 This is idiotic. Dems have historically forced much greater debt load expansion than Republicans. Don't get me wrong -- esp in recent 2 decades the Republicans have also been horrific. The Penguin
+-4 It honestly doesn't matter unless you are white/Asian male. U'll keep your job as MDs have incentive to keep you due to DEI promotion metric. Prospect in IB-M&A
+-4 No one give this guy any advice until he gives some color on the crazy crap the PM did. Let’s stop normalizing helping people when they consistently leave out the most interesting parts of their story. Smoke Frog
+-4 You can get all of the advice from them on here, but in reality, it provides you a support structure to get everything down you need. tank_monkey
+-4 WSO hates Indian people, you probably won’t get helpful responses on here Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-4 It’s unprofessional has nothing to do with gender. Sorry that place is a joke and her page is a joke. The fact we have people defending her is insane. Intern in PE - Growth
+-4 Ahh yes, OP stated he has offers from all top banks and can easily get into all those places. Lol. Smoke Frog
+-4 I agree entirely. I have the WSO version and if you’re a freshmen at a school that doesn’t really do IB it is 100% worth it. It’s essentially a class that is just for getting a great job. Prospect in IB - Gen
+-4 I could, but I’d rather plan ahead. Why do you guys care so much? Let me be diligent abt this for christ’s sake  CuriousGeorge1024
+-4 Nice humble brag post. Couldn’t brag to anyone in real life so you had to come here? Also had to chuckle when you said no MF would want to give you shot, like lev fin at an EB is some kind of death kneel. Smoke Frog
+-4 Please provide a name VP in IB - Cov
+-4 The West Coast has a top-tier hedge fund presence, particularly in SF, LA, and Seattle. elsizinie939

+-4 Nerds are a dime a dozen...  caustic freebase
+-4 Original article the OP referenced but very selectively quoted gives a guide. TruthToLight
+-4 State your name big guy.  Let me tie half my brain behind my back so we are almost at equal footing as clear you can’t read. This post you are reading is not written by. Chinese man. TruthToLight
+-4 Hahaha great reply! I’m a lying sack of $#it so I can say what I want because my underdeveloped brain still can’t process the fact that I got fired bc I suck at my job! Wah wah  Loser.  TruthToLight
+-4 And to confirm as you only replied to mine. The racist anti-Asian / Chinese posts are also acceptable to you?  You didn’t comment on those. You cool working with people like that? TruthToLight
+-4 Again not the first time there has been rumors about some impending layoffs and doom that has not been true not come to fruition.  TruthToLight
+-4 Looks like you got fired 2 years created 9 accounts and have been posting non stop  like a crazy person since then. Are we similar or different?  TruthToLight
+-4 What’s so “bad” that justifies you and your 9 accounts for being racist POS who need to lie about articles as they disparage former employers / employees?  TruthToLight
+-4 I'll keep bumping this thread until it sinks in caustic freebase
+-4 Not really but let’s go with that for a moment.  TruthToLight
+-4 Yep! And you are easy to find. They are in the same thread you commented on. Happy to send around!  Do people you work with know you are a racist?  TruthToLight
+-4 the part that rings true is the ordering. it wasn't the job that changed things, it was getting good at something - the offer was just the proof. LedgerShelf
+-4 Translation. I can read. You still can’t apparently. Saw in another thread you were fired bc 2 years in you still couldn’t do a basic model apparently. Is that right? TruthToLight
+-4 Like a basic model. Not even an LBO type of thing (which for most is still pretty basic). Is that real or no?  TruthToLight
+-4 Can we stop having so many UBS posts? Look I h8 them too but this is excsssive  Intern in IB - Gen
+-4 Dude, I think you are vastly underestimating the amount of resources and effort it takes to turn a homeless person's life around. Especially the effort it takes from the homeless person themselves.  Ozymandia
+-4 What are your 3 favorite longs and 3 favorite shorts right now? thisisanexampleofausername
+-4 Yes KKR and CD&R have promoted internationals to Director/Prinicpal and Partner, very common in MF PE if you started as associate. xyzdonttell
+-4 You lowkey got me there 😂 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+-4 Is this a top tier troll post or some deluded young person from a shitty college? I can’t tell anymore. Smoke Frog
+-4 If you were destined you would be talented enough to find this out or have them contact you. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+-4 If you have 1mm at age 30, then save 500k a year and compound your savings at a 7% real return, you have 80mm at 65. 2mm comp becomes 1mm post tax, spend avg of 500k per year (tough w kids but totally doable in suburbs). notsospecialsituation

+-5 Congrats on discovering ChatGPT. Shes one of those Ivy League school kids that were always told how smart they were growing up but in reality they were actually always really dumb LBOnlyFans
+-5 seems like shared question bank? think ive heard from first years bringing it up Works at Morgan Stanley
+-5 Good to see a fellow user fighting the good fight against these crying, coping babies who choose to work in high finance and then are shocked there are hardos in positions of management at their firms. Smoke Frog
+-5 I will add that from memory, all of the kids that spent time obsessing over school placement didn’t get great offers. This is you all on here. I’m sure there are great NU kids but you are not one of them. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+-5 patrick_bateman_ Ozymandia
+-5 The argument of every loser - "don't listen to the haters". You might as well just wear a sign that says "I'd rather be confidently incorrect than learn something new" Ozymandia
+-5 Yeah sounds like your typical publicly-educated, no wealth/poor family dog.  VP in IB - Cov
+-5 cornell would make more sense, emory is basically a non target Intern in IB - Cov
+-5 I apologise if people from my country are taking your jobs. murtazaabbas
+-5 I live in Mumbai you poor delinquent  murtazaabbas

+-5 JEF > Barc > Citi imo prospectiveib_d
+-5 What does Georgia Tech have to do with this. And Emorys placement isnt much less than Cornell, especially non dyson.  Atlcalling
+-5 Emory is far from a non target but whatever makes you feel better.   Atlcalling
+-5 In US maybe, in Europe (not UK which is a circus but Germany, Italy, France) Lazard remains a top player, partly because all the weird agenda you mentioned doesn't apply those these offices. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+-5 Both are shit Intern in IB - Gen
+-5 i obviously know him, theres nothing wrong with him, he just got unlucky in a very tough job market arbjunkie
+-5 IsItREPEIsaiah, are you ok?  Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+-5 Probably still way better than you. paulyoungettem
+-5 The clear lack of financial markets or investing  knowledge on a finance forum is incredible. I now understand why 90% of PE kids I interview are complete retards. Managing Director in HF - Other
+-5 Warren Buffett is an outlier. He didn't have his capital cut whenever he was down 5%. That opportunity set that Warren Buffett enjoyed doesn't exist anymore. paulyoungettem
+-5 Lol prospect is noise making. A good Oxbridge Mathsci doesnt drag IB w/ you. They all flock to Quant- How many can do that from LSE, UCL Durham and Warwick? We can’t test inteligence by your ability to memorize BIWS. davani1420
+-5 Because pods also have multiple other strategies that make up for losses in the L/S equity books. And plus they massage numbers.  paulyoungettem

+-5 "Elite" or not, 99% of everything in this country outside the Northeast is almost completely irrelevant Intern in Consulting

+-5 Had a coffee chat turn into a 12 hour interview with Apollo. Think their process is already wrapped up… Prospect in IB - Gen

+-5 Not a woman. Grow a pair Anonymous Monkey
+-5 I agree that the real estate business is highly people-oriented, and relationships do play a big role. But I think AI has so much more potential than just Excel and PowerPoint. kardycui

+-5 i think firms like lazard roths and guggenheim still carry that attitude which is great. i heard you get to interact with the roths family which is cool ngl fuku
+-5 Work life balance is better. The job is also a lot easier day-to-day because of zoom, AI, etc. Diversity is better and there are far fewer assholes. Parties, perks, and pay are all worse.   PatrickBateman
+-5 In LDN office and recent hires have been for growth. Would ignore this guys propaganda as it is factually wrong. Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+-5 Hey! Both have their perks. Wells Fargo might give you more deal flow and hands-on experience early on, while UBS carries strong brand recognition and can open doors for future exit opportunities. huanlamunov
