+-9 holy yap Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+-9 In my experience, analysts who come from PE are on average a lot better than analysts who come from say ER sellside. The best and brightest at the college level simply do not go into ER. GenericMMAnalyst
+-9 One must be really delusional to choose Citi over BofA. The latter pays better in analyst level, offers better deal flow and exits, has a better building and miles better perks. gelato_cuspids1d

+-9 Maybe dont fuck up so badly next time. VP was prob right, hes the VP afterall and youre not Tulaner
+-10 This isn’t high school. A doctors note means nothing. All she has is a note saying she is medically unfit to do the job. A doctors note doesn’t mean that the job description all of a sudden changed local_finance_bro
+-10 Respectfully, I have a different perspective. Technology is not back office work. Technology is the main revenue driver of the financial world, and the two are very intertwined these days. regret_tech
+-10 i would say it got >10x easier after 25. like basically pre-25 i was begging from a crumb of pussy but after 25 i was knee deep drowning in wet pussy. i am average looking but had a 99th percentile finance job. Works at Citadel Investment Group
+-10 do you ever get tired of using the race card ? Anonymous Monkey

+-10 An1 top bucket bonus was 75k and An2 was 100k+. On-cycle this year was 6 months after the analysts started and yet people still have offers. If you are a technically competent junior, you can get an offer from UBS. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+-10 Rough gut estimate: 10-15% chance it's substantially true as written, maybe 35-40% chance something loosely resembling it happened but got dramatized, and 50%+ chance it's largely or entirely fabricated/embellished for the finance1441
+-10 Btw it’s incredibly weird timing that the same exact minute of your reply I got hit with 4 different MS…it’s pretty pathetic you clearly have 4 different accounts set up on WSO just to do this.  Director in IB - Cov
