Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Year

+5 You're asking the right questions! The MRED program is relatively easier to get into vs. a traditional MBA program at RE powerhouses. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+5 Your base expectations are already messed up because you come from MBB / client advisory where the expectation is to be outgoing at all times, have a cheerful face, and chit chat. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+5 DO NOT do a chief of staff role. You’re a glorified EA and the skills do not transfer anywhere. If you go to an operating role, pick a functional area and do a specialized job(product, ops, finance) in that area. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+5 What does career progression look specifically in this role? How does this role stack up for MBA recruiting? If you get into this role and like it, this career is the exit. Lima Papa

+5 This thread is frying me lmao Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+5 Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 BritanniaAmericana alt? This is a kind of retarded claim imo. If your goal is IB in London, ‘Oxbridge’ lumps the two together for a reason. Pretty much the same across Europe. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+5 I am not confident you will see a regional bank take Lument or BWE down. Maybe a JV. The price tag is probably too large as a percentage of a regional bank market cap.  JZJammer
+5 Wellington and Fidelity are equally prestigious and if you spend long enough there and move into a PM role, the money will be equally huge. batrickpatemans
+5 Don't think they can't cross-check that pretty easily at any bank, HHs have contacts everywhere. Lying is a bigger auto-ding than no return. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+5 Valid points and granted it's been years since I went through this so it's probably not the same as it used to be. Associate 2 in PE - Growth
+5 Cornball definitely a solid description Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+5 I have a Macbook Pro and a Lenovo ThinkPad, both for personal use. Mr Incredible
+5 Just an awkward glare from lil’voldemort Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+5 Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 I go to Northwestern so I’m biased but the people underrating it just aren’t aware of the school. NU is the biggest feeder to Blackstone after Harvard and Wharton if that provides some context. Intern in IB-M&A
+5 It's not as prestigious to work for someone else in my view. The amount of hours + inflation vs. comp growth, it's more of a suckers game than ever. Not Gen Z, older millennial for context. pajero
+5 Fair, Napoleon minus the winning part Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+5 houston moves first to arbitrage your anxiety. they lock talent before new york opens the floodgates. OFFERGOBLIN
+5 Napoleon was a brilliant general who conquered large parts of Europe, let’s not diminish him here  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 When the grouphead has a Napoleon complex well what do you expect Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+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 Yeah that's exactly it, if you want to just do 2 years and done it's fine. If you want to make a longer run, less so. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+5 You won't be tested on proper recording of debits and credits and other similar accounting concepts in the interview process. Once in the industry, you will need to gain a better understanding of accounting. RCJ92
+5 I'll try and break down the thought process. MBA_Moron
+5 Club soda with lime. You’re welcome JetsTanksSubmarine
+5 All of them fall in the category of trying to automate the most nuanced part of the job, so if you judge them on their ability to “replace your junior analyst” in terms of letting it run then they all suck. liquidiot
+5 The difference is net for net, society improved as a result Boys clubs are critical to the flourishing of civilizations  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 As someone who has been through one of those big LO AM graduate programs, my advice would be to wait and do it with them once you get into the FT program. There are many reasons this is the best strategy. batrickpatemans
+5 That example you gave for pipeline flows influencing differentials, and differentials influencing flows is not in my view an actual case of circular reasoning. oil_quant
+5 You have to be pretty aware of the markets in a cross cap stack role. Any HF investing or investing related role will require you to be in close touch with the markets on a daily basis. No way around it. Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+5 Nearly all DEI is gender focused and women are prime beneficiaries. Executive Director in IB - Cov
+5 BuySideInternYou don't really hear of people in REPE crashing out or dying while on the job. Yet.  IsItREPE
+5 The unfortunate thing is their reputation will never truly be done for. There will always be kids desperate to join the buyside who will chase academy despite everything that has transpired. This is a very cruel industry. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+5 I would take this - very low risk - route: i. follow some serious online courses at solid universities from multiple countries so you can showcase your interest in the space Rover-S
+5 I transferred back in 2009. Bloomberg Businessweek used to run an annual ranking of the top undergraduate business programs. McIntire had been ranked no. 2 in the US for much of the prior decade and then jumped to the no. Partner in RE - Comm
+5 I have a different perspective. I know nothing about how to navigate the citizenship side of things, so I will not speak to that. As for starting a construction business.. Principal in RE - Comm
+5 TLDR... life happens, I ain't special in that regard!A bit of the 411 for shits n' giggles for those who might relate... InfoDominatrix

+5 I know this dudes username now because he glazes stern on every post Analyst 1 in Consulting
+5 Hahaha 2 hour 3-statement test for an intern is a complete joke. Should tell you a lot about the place you’re recruiting for. If you can do it kudos to you - I know senior bankers who can’t do that KageSelly
+5 Will he be on the cruise lol Intern in IB - Gen
+5 For the first part, the Trump Administration even defended the necessity of the program as cited by Bloomberg (Trump Defends H-1B Visas as Needed Despite Move to Raise Costs). FinnesseGod
+5 ~$50/day on lunch and/or coffee sounds VERY high to me. Where are you eating lunch? Nobu? Even Sweetgreen/Dig Inn/Chopt will only run you around $20, and it's tough to make a single drink at Starbucks cost much over $10. Whatever1984
+5 In the office [email protected]
+5 Communicate early about needing Sundays off (ideally before you get a teams message on Sunday in church). When you have downtime inbetween comments, dive into the word and get some Bible study in. seekinthealpha1
+5 Do.. do people honestly think this happened? I'm going to sound awful here but this just stretches believability + someone I know said that she was still online on Teams.  nonu-r
+5 You know, I'd get on board with this. That said, the US left has gone all-in on racial extremism that their old policies of looking out for the working class/union workers have gone out the window. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+5 DEI bad, now give me SB Intern in Consulting
+5 Look man, you're welcome to call me every name in the dictionary, but we're not doing this anymore. Oh wow you're so edgy and cool that you said "f*ck" with that asterisk in the middle. Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+5 HEC > ESCP > ESSEC >= Warwick Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+5 See? I told you guys NYU and UChi were the same Prospect in IB-M&A
+5 I might be jaded about governmental/bank research from working in energy for a while, but from what I’ve seen, the well known public sector analytics agencies that people have heard of (IEA, EIA, etc) and many of the banks oil_quant
+5 Yea, Drax.  I'm the guy. CharlesCheese
+5 No, my friend, I think it is you who does not understand markets, or has no fucken clue, as you put it. Partner in RE - Comm
+5 lol at my MM firm VP (esp VP1) does everything. anywhere from banking analyst to senior principal. You have all the responsibility/blame. Dnt get the credit. only sometimes have junior resource. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+5 Congrats on pack of gum! Intern in IB - Gen
+5 So are you that guy or disproving this is all one guy with your post? Prospect in IB - Gen
+5 Coming from a similar background to you, but I also can fit in very well to my pretty fratty/drinking culture BB coverage group, and had a similar identity crisis later in school as well. UnleveredFreeAsshole
+5 Took about 6 months off, was a solid 2-3 months before I felt remotely normal again, even without working at all during that time. Associate 3 in IB-M&A

+5 You become a CFO by being a generalist, not a specialist - this is a major difference in the career path vs. IB / PE where specialized knowledge is rewarded. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+5 They are still rebuilding and rebuilding takes time won’t happen overnight Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+5 I would say typically in the office from 8:30 - 6 pm and answering emails at home when not in the office with the occasional work on the weekend for a few hours to catch up. Also traveling almost every week for 1-2 days. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+5 You’re not too young if this is what you genuinely want to do and are willing to put in the hard work. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+5 congrats on selling your own prep tool, you tool! Prospect in IB-M&A
+5 Thanks for doing this! A few questions... FinnesseGod
+5 Getting sucked into Muay Thai and BJJ is the most common error I see in beginners in MMA, and it really hinders them from developing any real skill. Risk Weighted Ass
+5 It’s the big 5 in Toronto, there is always an intern quality issue Intern in IB-M&A
+5 Fair point. We are atleast on the same page that the system is "corrupt". Your argument is that it doesn't matter because you aren't affected by it Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 There's really a few ways to look at the risks and why investors are selling off:  Dr. Suq Madiqandbaals
+5 Number 2. Most of the best senior bankers are MBAs. Partially because more MBAs stick around, and partially because the skillset of a good senior banker is totally different than what makes a good associate/VP. RBOB_squarepants
+5 They've already decided they want to hire you, the referencing is to filter out the left tail of worst outcomes. mmap

+5 Not really beating a dead horse if nothing will really change Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+5 Some may disagree here, but wouldn’t consider networking to be particularly crucial for LMM processes. Anton_Chigurh
+5 If your goal is investment banking, the strongest and most direct path is clearly the UK, particularly universities like LSE or Imperial, because London is the main IB hub in Europe and offers the best access to on-campus Kevin W.
+5 One of his good clients hired his other son. Sounds like a potential quid pro quo is brewing Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 So assuming this is real: short term, not gonna happen. Nobody Man

+5 And how much of your bonus are u tipping your md Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+5 “BFF at other fund disagrees with you” Principal in HF - Event
+5 I think you’re looking at the situation the wrong way. The best seat is the one where you will excel. Wish_I_HadTrustFund
+5 rooseveltfan
+5 Good question, this is something most people overthink at the beginning. Kevin W.
+5 First, I'll address your question from my knowledge of the programs and universities:  In order of tiering in relation to finance oriented career paths, I would argue that:  FinnesseGod
+5 Lmao these replies are funny because McK is the better choice. The S&P team is not what makes JS special Intern in Consulting

+5 What do the non Americans do? Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+5 You have to take control of your own life and be 100% responsible for your decisions. Being too busy to think and reflect and getting stuck 10 years in a career you don’t like is all on you. Anonymous Monkey
+5 It’s not blatantly racism to point out that the average immigrant from Africa or Latin America is likely going to be a $0.5-$1.0M drain to taxpayer money over the course of their life here. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
