Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+-4 This feels very misogynistic. A school process doesn’t factor in DEI. I don’t get why people who have succeeded (getting an offer) always focus on the great big bad boogieman that is Women for this place. DonDylan
+-4 Yes... stern is a lot better than dyson to most people so I just went with that. Really wanted to go to Duke but my dad is paying and he wouldn't let me go to Duke over Stern/Cornell ("basketball school"). johnsonsigma
+-4 Sorry, meant to say that I am first gen American, non dei. Came from a pretty poor background with little white collar connections haha.. Intern in IB - Gen
+-4 found the DESRI reject Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+-4 I spent over five years at Palatine Capital Partners, and it stands out as one of the most meaningful learning experiences of my career. danamarzullo
+-4 Moelis if you want MMPE. JPM if you want MF. Check past exits, I don’t make the rules. johngooner
+-4 also that other thread about net worths is so funny. bro youll have pennies in actual buying power when milk is 30-40$ a gallon thanks to mismanaged fx  fuku
+-4 PJT or BofA, Laz lowkey not in good shape (this is assuming you want to do 2 years) Intern in IB - Gen
+-4 Laz is going down and BoFA is a much bigger general brand. I am not sure Lazard will neccassirly have better exits than the top BoFA groups come c/o 2027 or c/o 2028 PE classes. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+-4 How is EVR a BB lmao they are the same size as LAZ in the US. Also, their avg. deal size is higher than LAZ. LAZ is simply not at the level of EVR or PJT, more in line with PWP MOE Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-4 Intern in IB-M&AObv BofA lol, LAZ is not what it used to be Second, LAZ is just simply dying @IBD111

+-4 Let’s move Jefferies up!!!!!!!!!!!!! Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+-4 hmm a bulge bracket or two places ive literally never heard of, tough choice esdeekid67
+-4 Reneging burns every last bridge you had at the place. As an intern or first year incoming analyst, you think that might not affect you but finance is a small, petty world. VP in IB-M&A
+-4 Rothschild EASY Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-4 To be fair, brokerages can be easily replaced by a centralized website like Zillow. They are basically realtors that put their deals on the firm's website rather than Zillow. yupoo
+-4 Swap BMO and TD, ain't nobody taking TD over BMO M&M/M&A/DIG/LevFin/FIG/PU&I esdeekid67
+-4 No the only respectable one is HEC.  boib_1
+-4 jewslayer1944 Associate 3 in CorpDev
+-4 Somewhere above janitors but below maintenance staff. PCA is a complete joke of low-value add process bitch work. Lester Grossman
+-4 LAZ has deteriorated over the last ~5 years, that is not secret (except for LAZ folks who think for some reason that it's better than EVR or CVP) Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-4 For best balance of comp, experience, and exits: 1. EVR2. CVP3. PJT4. MOE5. PWP6. LAZ Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+-4 del Summer Associate in IB-M&A
+-4 This is well written and all but the exits and comp at an EB absolutely shit on BB’s although some GS/JPM/MS groups can compete. Thats just the truth. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+-4 dont care, congrats on your past EVR M&A offer jewslayer1944
+-4 It's a pretty obvious choice over MOE but definitely not LAZ. jewslayer1944
+-4 PokerSlopWarsTLBandChill TLBandChill
+-4 hey anal1, your wife and tyrone needs a towel for cleanup on your bed, why dont you talk back to me when you make PE VP bud jewslayer1944

+-4 Hahahahhaa. Stats are wrong!  My gut feeling is all that matters! Ozymandia
+-4 PWP is the UBS of EBs lmao Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-4 Stay in Asia man. The UK and europe are shitholes with no future. Asia will have more opportunities than London, where you get robbed if you look at someone wrong. Prospect in IB - Cov
+-4 Recruiting—especially from a non-target school—is tough and often comes down to timing and volume, not just effort. kelvinmadris
+-4 AS1 425K? LMFAO UR HIGH AS FUCK. 325 at best Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+-4 McGill>>>>UofT >>ESADE>ESCP McGill is exponentially better than the rest! Clearly go there if you can :) boib_1
+-4 DB IB feels like a legacy shop where the MDs can’t originate but still strut around like rainmakers. Whole platform’s slowly circling the drain while everyone pretends it’s 2007. honeychocolate1037
+-4 It’s better to take an offer from BMO, BNP, RBC, or Santander vs DB/UBS.  RM2817
+-4 qfs = cvp, sof = gs, fs = jpm, peg = evercore, ssig = pjt, iag = ?, cmc = barclays. essketitcuh
+-4 Delete mv101
+-4 I’m not at Lincoln Industrials, “prospect”! Lol modafman1
+-4 Why do you make dumb arguments like this? 1bl to the ludicrously inefficient HC systems does virtually nothing if we look 5yrs out. therealgekko
+-4 Associate 1 in IB - GenYes, you autist. Message him. Keep it cool. Deo et Patriae
+-4 Worked with one of the partners there, and he is a great guy. LosingMyHair

+-4 Sorry, I'll describe your teenage daughter (or is she in college now?) as "suffering from the forced flexion of the vertebrae as a consequence of the use of highly potent synthetic opioids" rooseveltfan
+-4 I’ll get monkey shits but can confirm this is fake. Y’all students need to get a life, no one working in IB has the hours to constantly be shit posting in WSO like you guys Analyst 1 in IB - ECM

+-4 An immediate comment at 1pm on a workday? Must be a diversity hire at MS lol Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+-4 The US has always had a strong relationship with Israel, as they are the only country in the middle east that shares our values. financeabc
+-4 As a European it's hilarious to think any American accent could ever be considered 'Posh' or classy. Imagine a Spanish guy thinking about some Mexican who thinks he has a 'classy' accent. LMAO VP in IB-M&A
+-4 What do you think the answer is in terms of pure pedigree? DeletedAccount...
+-4 Sonny LoSpecchio:brensonpunks Sonny LoSpecchio
+-4 Del war dog
+-4 check out at this startup: IB Copilot AI.  intern123456
+-4 Hedge Funds are quite arguably the most meritocratic jobs in the world. If you are good, you get paid. If you suck, there is the door.  DiversifiedPortfolio
+-4 Let me guess, you had to settle for EVR Rx after PJT RSSG dinged you? Prospect in IB-M&A
+-4 Neither are lonely single wannabe-alpha male cat ladies for that matter. Not a subset of people worth thinking about therealgekko
+-4 Hold up a mirror lol, I'm happily married (though I'm 100% certain you aren't and probably won't be). Anyway goodbye therealgekko
+-4 I have a lot I want to say but you all just got suck it up and keep going! Quit your b$tching. This is coming from somebody that looked for almost 2 years before I secured a new role in December 2025. Developer in RE - Comm
+-4 ----- Ex_ NavySeal
+-4 The comment about GS and EVR versus P72 and Millenium is ridiculous. Kids at Cornell consistently place more people to P72 and CAP than Stern. barce
+-4 Biggest Stern cope I have seen. barce
+-4 Wtf is this post? Reach out to alumni from your school and make connections, then ask them for this favour. No one is going to spoon feed you time away from their life Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-4 Disagree Seen deals get to signing because of key things VPs do and drive forward [email protected]
+-4 Dude, genuinely, get off this app and go enjoy life. Ride a bike or something, you’ll have your whole life to be stuck in an office and worry about recruiting. bananapiano
+-4 Definitely go through them all, but most firms will ask techs off the guides to check if you know the concepts or if you just memorized the Q&A verbatim. Prospect in IB - Gen
+-4 Generally on the rise: Stern, Vandy, Brown, Chicago Generally losing out: W/A, Dartmouth (not what it was 15 years ago, still great) 188m
+-4 Brace yourself and stay warm with headhunters  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+-4 Breaking news, IPO work isn’t investment banking My sarcasm was lost Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+-4 . Prospect in IB-M&A
+-4 As someone who did BB BS lending and is now on equity side, I will say just go straight to the REPE 100 investments internship. If you know where you want to go, why not just get your foot in the the door off the rip? Associate 3 in RE - Comm
+-4 PE and PC are very small parts of their portfolios. Like 80% is bonds VP in PE - LBOs
+-4 sorry to disappoint you, but i didn't. it's just true that you can't put evr into the same bucket as GS, CVP, JPM, etc. Never said they're not somewhere up there, just definitely not top bucket with the mentioned firms EbePrice
+-4 none of them belong with MS/JPM/Moelis - congrats on almost finishing your analyst years at UBS btw Long_AMD
+-4 Apparently a € salary in the UK - Concept of the UK ‘taxing’ the US in general - Cuck-ish request for us to have been more dominant - Misguided interpretation of UK law Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+-4 just heard back - top groups are out @moneymoneymoney@
+-4 He thinks Stern is 4% LMFAOOO Enjoy ur shit NYU undergrad dude. Please google Umich Ross average ACT and NYU stern average ACT. Associate 1 in IB-M&A

+-4 del 500thousand
+-4 I have no idea if you work for a bank with a retail arm, but you couldn’t be more wrong. It’s INCREDIBLY easy and not uncommon. The systems are usually intertwined to each other. I used to work in a commercial bank. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+-4 Do cost cuts ever help stocks work? Usually not laka
+-4 Congrats on LSE! 188m
+-4 We are not blinded by hate unlike you women. Like I said before, let the courts decide. Why are you afraid? She will be found guilty and all the gender handouts will stop,  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+-4 Got an offer as a lateral there. Big volume shop - quality of assets are meh. Quality of juniors are meh too. Lots of non-targets that rubbed me the wrong way, but the typical core of Chicago/NW/ND juniors are fine. Associate 1 in PE - Other
+-4 Not “good money” when you take weekly hours worked into account. 2. Not “broad exits” as few value IB skills outside of PE/HF, which are getting harder to recruit into after IB stint. arossi11637
+-4 Stop calling it a “high paying job.” Normalized for hours worked, it’s not high paying compared to most other regular corporate jobs that anyone could get. This isn’t pre-GFC anymore. arossi11637
+-4 Lloyd, I've decided to take your mother to Paris. For cereal related matters, she left notes in the kitchen. Please refer to your babysitter for all non-cereal related matters.  Best, pbandjpartners
+-4 Unless you were at a top shop Q, PJT, best groups at GS/MS, I don’t see how the numbers work here. 188m
