+5 You can stop using ChatGPT to do your writing for you as a start liquidiot
+5 Before you start I would ask if they’d provide any guidance on time allocation or the goal of the case. Is this a quasi modeling test? If so spend more time there. M_As_In_Mancy
+5 Just realized that. Not sure if the directly stating you are stealing someone else's comment is more of shit-posting or the creation of the new account is more shitposting. Intern in IB-M&A
+5 I don’t have any secret sauce on building those relationships. Work hard, ask questions, own up to mistakes and learn from them. If you build trust with your boss, they will be much more willing to help / mentor you. M_As_In_Mancy
+5 this is all nice and employer friendly... but you have to look our for your own career first. If this new place is a material step up, take the new offer and move on. Investment Analyst in HF - Event

+5 Anyone hear anything since hirevue completion? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+5 I felt this way after 6 months into my first year. Years later and I’m still in IB. Smoke Frog
+5 I hear you bro. The performative MD benefits from their hiring and promotions. He is aware of their shenanigans but turns a blind eye because his bonus is linked to their inclusion. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+5 I just read your whole thing, not sure how much is AI, but it was detailed and thoughtful. I learned a lot and I used to cover and invest in online travel for 5+ years. Main feedback: Determined

+5 take pic on your phone, upload it to your personal google drive, and send the link to your personal google drive to your VP/MD (bonus points if they need to ask permission to access the file) GS under Blankfein

+5 When we win, Dartmouth Partners will be de-funded and divested Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 Best advice ive seen is to go to a good department store, try on suits till you know your size, then go online and buy used luxury suits like zegna.  MissMissMake
+5 Contrary to some of the comments above, I think it’s ok to feel this way. coolio9966
+5 Here's my view. You have a few options: marketMergerMaddie
+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 Anyone pausing because of Mamdani is being exceptionally disingenuous.  I believe a lot of crappy shops are claiming that they're pencils down because of Mamdani... Ozymandia
+5 UBS has aggressively expanded its Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) group since 2023, hiring approximately 20 senior bankers, including sector specialists and product experts. WSO Monkey Bot
+5 I'm an associate looking to lateral and having a tough time. I have tons of deal experience and closed deals (mostly MM and LMM). I did get some interviews and have been told that I have good soft skills too. Ski98
+5 as an Oxford student it’s probably Harvard overall due to pax americana (or whatever’s left of it these days) but in many commonwealth countries and parts of asia the rich/political elite almost exclusively were Oxbridge e Intern in PropTrad
+5 No one would take RJ/DC advisory over Wells Fargo. Also, why are we ignoring UBS/DB/RBC/Mizuho/TD? All of them are much more better than DC advisory. Congrats on AEC advisors and EFIG btw. SMU Final Boss
+5 Harvard and it’s not close. ziggywiggy
+5 Having experienced a similar situation after graduating college and working in consulting (and still maintaining a similar commute), I commuted over an hour each way from my parents' house, made it work. Drizzle-Maker
+5 We don't want you Associate 1 in PE - Other
+5 Used to work at PEAK a few years ago. Moved to the buyside, but if I were ever to go back to the sellside, this would be my shop for sure. Good culture. Decent work-life balance. john.immovable716
+5 My guess is that Ryan doesn’t have advisors unless you count TD as an adviser. I think he prides himself on being lean and doing things himself. Hags28
+5 Maybe because your just and asshole who loves to argue? I’m typing a response on my mobile when I have a few free minutes I’m not in court or in a live debate (maybe go touch grass?) patrick_bateman_

+5 Is UBS non-target friendly ? wuandale33
+5 My personal opinion is a lot can change from now to then. The two guys now Matt and David are good. Let them run it for as long as possible. I like them both from what I know about them. Hags28
+5 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
+5 Wtf are you talking about - do you not remember the financial crisis or the S&L crisis or the rampant fraud on Wallstreet through the 80s and 90s? patrick_bateman_
+5 I definitely recommend Creed Aventus. I wore this in my first year, and when an MD got a sniff of me, my career took off. He took me under his mentorship, and said 'son, you smell too good to be in the bullpen. Intern in IB - Cov
+5 Here are my thoughts. This is business. You made a deal. Your word is your bond. You now want to switch things up and change the deal. You’re in the lower position.  Hags28
+5 DEI bad, now give me SB Intern in Consulting
+5 My top line revenue is in line with consensus but I can also flex it down. Consensus doesn't model the KPIs to the degree in which I have as well. Do you know what's the magnitude delta vs. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+5 Basic principles about this industry:  jaychang
+5 JohnGao Associate 1 in Private Credit
+5 Haven’t heard of the guides you listed but I wouldn’t really spend money on a broad TMT course. That’s so broad that it’s hard to imagine how much depth they can get into with each sub-sector and niche. Mastery 7 IB Shitter
+5 Dave, I had the exact same thought when I was at the same stage in my career. Right out of college I joined Wells Fargo as an assistant branch manager in anchorage. lucien_de_montclair

+5 Any insight on what it will be like for incoming people at CL, now under Lazard CL? Change in culture/comp/exit opps? bankbankzzz
+5 Same boat, for some reason upperclassmen have mentioned that recruiting this year might start even before the new years which is crazy to me. Intern in IB-M&A
+5 if your middle eastern id say stay away from middle eastern companies, not a knock on you specifically but seeing someone do an internsip at a "home" country just reeks of nepostism compared to someone genuinley going abor Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+5 I don’t use prompts much anymore, for a lot of the tasks, I’ve basically compiled instructions and told Fable to make a skill. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+5 Come on man you know you’re straight BS-ing with that statement 🤣 Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+5 Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge RCJ92
+5 Y’all shouldn’t let your feelings get hurt over the kernels of truth in this flamboyant rant. It’s makes OP look more right the more you backlash. elninomaravilla
+5 Why are Brits total simps for Muslims and obvious extremists that want to destroy the west? Xhamster02
+5 The advantage of going via a good HH is you have someone in your corner who is probably cash-incentivised to get you a good deal, and can also give you a 3rd party perspective on how they think the process is playing out, a13
+5 Ask if they have strawberry milk. Shows that you're a true milk connoisseur.  Substack_Guy
+5 I might just be a dull bulb but unlike other people's reactions so far, I like this line of thinking. Associate 1 in RE - Comm
+5 Honestly, I think it is definitely worth it. I GC the project, I don't actually get on my hands and knees and do the work. I just coordinate my framers, electrician, plumber, drywall/plaster guy etc... Fred Fredburger
+5 Congrats on no live deals that will close! Intern in IB - Cov
+5 Any idea why JP Morgan is not able to beat Wells Fargo when it comes to CRE Finance- from balance sheet lending to Agency finance? Director in RE - Comm
+5 I'd pay attention to the funds making it to the final round of competitive processes. I work in a top HC group and you'd be surprised at the check sizes that MM funds can write. Intern in IB - Gen
+5 Devastated that haven’t close any M&A deals in the last 2 years, but only refinancing Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 Principal in RE - CommYup. Full CDs and a GMP is $4 million. Ozymandia
+5 I don't understand this point on living expenses. On a $200k salary your after tax take home in NYC is $140k, so you can spend $10k/mo and still have $20k of annual buffer left for one time expenses. PM in HF - Other
+5 Congrats on mechanical engineering! Prospect in IB-M&A
+5 yes it means ur horny Associate 1 in PE - Other

+5 Comparing siegecraft to iterating discussion materials.  Helpful to see that your original point, already a bit sad, was actually informed by delusion. CharlesCheese

+5 Comp is street with far less hours than typical MF PE. Not a 2 and out program and there's spots for you to stay if you want. Nice new office with catered lunch. Intern in IB - Gen
+5 Firm is legit and filled with non targets. rolo25
+5 Best Chipotle-Style Options in Hong Kong: Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+5 Thanks for the response! I'm based in NYC, sorry for the confusion, that was why I was asking about recruiting in the US. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+5 It's probably a mix of it all. Companies wanting someone doing exactly what they are hiring for, in their current position. One line on the JD that you don't currently know or do = "not a fit" to them. Ralph Lauren
+5 I interviewed and got an offer here a couple years ago. You're dead on with where deal flow comes from. Comp was below street and they tried to rationalize it by saying bonus is uncapped based on % of deal fees worked on. Associate 1 in CorpDev
+5 If you are committed to a transition to finance an MBA at a top program would increase the odds of a move to a BB firm considerably. arw444

+5 Analyst 2 in IB-M&A JohnThomas
+5 I agree with a lot of what you said especially what you said about a career as a big tech swe. Even then I would say its not entirely true as there are always landscape changing tech companies which pop up. monke33
