+5 I worked in capital markets at another bx portco and had a very good experience. It was perfect for me because I had a non-traditional background and never had good training prior. Exec VP in RE - Other
+5 Give it an honest go until Thanksgiving. You 100% need to seem eager, committed, fun to be around so that people don’t think you’re a flight risk, otherwise, no one will bother to train you. Associate 2 in IB - Gen

+5 I very much prefer when “unpleasant things” are removed from my daily life. That said, I don’t imagine too many of us are advocating for incinerating the homeless. Pretty quick pull on the nazi card though, respect dude. speedball
+5 I was recently hired by a data center developer for what we can say is an analyst role. jl12
+5 No job is perfect. IB is better than most, but it's a job you have to do because you want to learn, not for the paycheck. reformed
+5 Those products basically are email verifiers at scale which make multiple calls to SMTP servers with IP rotations and know how to stay undetected from getting black listed by the mail servers. Matchabee

+5 Congrats on PWP! optimusprimerate
+5 This reads as her taking the mistakes personally and not being able to get past it. Perhaps the scolding she received was too much for her and now she’s internalized and directed the anger at you. fuckshampoo21
+5 AI Slop Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 DeepLearning TechBanking
+5 Thanks for the breakdown and video! Gonna give it a watch. I have some questions that your comment stirred up so just gonna put em here and feel free to answer whichever you care to. Associate 1 in RE - Comm

+5 If you can’t research the countless # of times this post in some shape or form has been discussed in the past couple weeks in this forum, maybe research isn’t the job for you… Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+5 Not a traditional form of real estate, especially on this forum, but the corporate real estate world has been pretty much booming. GreatCreamy
+5 There’s going to be a big shift to MM and LLM, I suspect, as that’s where 90% of the alpha is. Prestige is a fools gold that expires. What’s the point of prestige in PE - it’s the finish line… JetsTanksSubmarine

+5 That would make sense except that SAP (+ others I’ve named) has traded down way more YTD than QQQ and VGT indexes. VP in PE - LBOs
+5 I disagree with this. I think a lot of people view it this way but at the end of the day you will be spending a minimum of 8 hours a day, 50ish weeks a year, for 45ish years at work. apetrynamakeit
+5 Dauphine? I'm French and while Dauphine is certainly a really good school for market finance (M203), it's still seen below top 3 for IB/PE roles. Goj5979
+5 I agree in part with what you are saying regarding point 3. There are absolutely 100% Big Law firms that will take previous work experience, along with school, and not really care about anything else.  jl12
+5 Anyone hear anything since hirevue completion? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+5 As somebody who is 10-15 years in their career and been at 3 different jobs - the one piece of advice I can give you is to meet with people and learn about all of the different opportunities.  SoldMySoul
+5 Europe is literally a fake place. weezyfbaby
+5 Jaded take lol. Who hurt you? Partner in RE - Comm
+5 Congrats on UBS issabanker
+5 I was honestly surprised the economist was willing to publish this given their leanings. It's unfortunate this doesn't get featured more frequently and more government's aren't forced to do the same analysis. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+5 I’m on iOS. This has been an issue for months, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s been over a year. Jack's Smirking Revenge
+5 Probably a couple long nights for juniors chasing something they had absolutely no shot at. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+5 Ha ha, I will own to dropping the occasional 6-7 or Riz when I am teaching S79. It’s usually because my 13-year-old daughter can hear me teaching and she dies a little inside every time I say it. BJM
+5 Entourage, it’s just too good not to include AM Analyst
+5 a) Great, you’ve acknowledged you’re in the first 1st analogous group to the engineers. Mid-level professionals who understand the core skills are primed to use the tech well because they know the core skills Works at Goldman Sachs
+5 The gist of my response, which you are not getting because I am doing a poor job at explaining this, is that IP theft means something specific. jl12
+5 This is painful to read.  No job is worth staying in if you label yourself as an underperformer.  Find something where you can be really good, can be satisfied by what you are doing. VP in PE - LBOs
+5 Ross by far if you value any form of balance in social life. Getting into a decent club/b-frat sets you up well for recruiting. artred76

+5 Javier knew to get out of leadership so he isnt blamed for the coming collapse and long winter. A move to keep his legacy intact. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 USC is def the 2nd strongest west coast school for finance from what I’ve seen. Or at the very least tied for 2nd best. Underrated semi target (I suppose target for west coast offices) Prospect in IB-M&A
+5 (1) "Okay, so a very long winded response to explain you’re resorting to semantics instead of substance." jl12

+5 jl12 VP in Research - FI
+5 You really gotta find the right small shop, they are not all made the same. jarstar1
+5 Not in MBB so take this with a grain of salt if you want. I'm one year out of school and went to a non-target (as my username suggests). DJtheNonTarget
+5 No bossinesses have to pay this fee not the international person Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+5 Felt a similar way until I met someone worth hundreds of millions bc their entire family died in a helicopter crash. ibmayb

+5 Generally, I would say capital flooded into PC from 2018 (~$1tn) to ~2022 (>$2tn). More recently capital flowing in has plateaued (2025: ~$2.5tn) and we've heard pension funds etc. Reservation at Dorsias
+5 Me nigga iercurenc
+5 They need to get their shit together before Daddy Sergio finds out Analyst 2 in IB - Gen

+5 Ill ask a question now - How could you possibly feel that you will be worth your salary as a Y1 IBD Analyst? Deal Team Six
+5 There are multiple ways to look at this - what do you mean by a stronger platform? Honestly, a lot of it comes down to luck. For example, here are some scenarios I have seen (with some details added for fun): ib298535
+5 Remind them that they blew a 13 colony lead. VP in PE - LBOs
+5 you cannot escape multiple contractions even if earnings are fine. Next earnings call earnings will be moderate, but their forward capital raising estimates will most likely be $0. GridironCEO
+5 Genuine question. Why do so many IB/PE quitters try to pursue operating businesses?  Managing Director in IB-M&A
+5 Bump. As of today it’s probably GTCR, TA, HIG, New Mountain, KPS in UMM/MM and Warburg unarguably in MF (exits and DPI have been solid asf in the past 2-3 years)  Associate 1 in CorpStrat
+5 Would think that conservatives would understand the concept of unintended consequences since they're always hurling that line at liberals.... KoolAidManOHHHHHYEAHHHH

+5 You get your bonus payment missed Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 It's somewhat amusing. I remember when I was a VP leading a hiring for a few associates. I was told, "Only interview women, preferably non-white women." It's funny how nobody lost their sh*t about that one.  Lockwood
+5 Patrick Bateman didn't use Peptides. Case closed. VP in IB-M&A
+5 Joined as a VP so I can’t speak to the post mba standard progression exactly, but have heard from others the base goes like 150-170 during those years and bonuses like 25-50ish (?) but if you bring in assets as a senior as Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+5 Lol, obviously no one’s saying people aren’t capable because of their skin colour, that would be ridiculous. The title might be a bit rage-baity, fair enough, but the actual point still stands. Prospect in IB - Gen
+5 I can't tell you whether I recommend transitioning to a MM without knowing what your objectives are. Are you looking to maximise pnl? Are you looking to take more short-term bets? Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+5 I recently moved to London and the quality of life is def higher than NYC. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 At Google, SWEs are the ones creating value while everyone else supports them. At MBB, consultants are the ones creating value while everyone else supports them. Intern in Consulting
