+4 "Everyone is looking for a job. Nobody can find the right employee. What is going on?" The short answer: a lot of people are lying. jl12
+4 You'll need a car. I think unless you live near CityPlace you might get a bit bored. West Palm definitely has some nice walkable parts, but it isn't that big.  Associate 3 in IB - Cov
+4 I have a lot of concerns about this that are kinda pointed out in your response. Before I go into everything, thank you so much for taking the time to respond.  Investment Analyst in HF - RelVal

+4 At UCL and I did my round 1 this week and thought it went ok (hopefully lol) does anyone know when superdays? Not sure if I should reach back out to contact to ask. Prospect in IB-M&A
+4 Honestly ECM is a great gig and not sure why people hate on it. When you look at what people want to do after 2+2+2 their ultimate goal typically sounds like ecm (good wlb @ high pay) Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+4 Not many real answers here but seriously: in what world do you think this would be acceptable? You’re literally asking if I can bring my doll to work (no don’t worry it has CLOTHES ON though!). liquidiot

+4 This sounds less about AI and about your director usernameladiesman217
+4 Former Leerink junior here. Take that healthcare services associate’s pitch with a massive grain of salt. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 It is a hard market right now, absolutely. Getting the offer at a top firm is very difficult. Not sure what your entire background is, but 3.7 GPA is a decent indicator (good, not golden).  DavidGilmore

+4 Lehman IB -> Barclays IB back in '09 Determined

+4 There are times im working 15 hours straight but for the most part I’ll have down time throughout the day. The real issue is that good MDs are often meeting with clients during the day. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+4 CMC and IU doing really well from what I’ve seen, legacy nepo kid schools like the Williams colleges of the world seem to be falling off Intern in IB - Gen
+4 I've been focused on upgrading my wardrobe for the past 2 or 3 years. Below are my recommendations in general: Less Expensive Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+4 have seen it happen.. in many cases, have been guys go the big 4 accounting route (ACA qualification) and then pivot from there - this may be a function of GFC job market prospects ~15 years ago. Director in S&T - Other

+4 You can break in for sure, it's been done. After brexit its less direct. Goj5979
+4 Historically, the West has created this problem, and we're only making it worse. Democratically elected guy gets ousted from government and replaced by a King because he decided to nationalize Oil. Sharky286
+4 I agree with what you said but just to be clear, I was responding specifically to the question that OP posed which is tacking on desk analyst stint after having done IB, or in other words, for a relatively “junior” individ Monkey.D.
+4 Trump even admitted that "maybe we shouldn't be there" in Iran and his director of counter terrorism resigned and revealed that Iran posed no imminent threat. MAGAs are fucking retards. anon1019

+4 Sorry this took so long to respond to lol. Associate 2 in RE - Comm

+4 Congrats on Stern! Intern in IB-M&A

+4 Vests 1/7 each year for 7 years (yes, I know 5 years is typical),   asmith_1
+4 I worked at C1 last summer as a BA. Very fun position and very bright people. Intern in Legal
+4 The reason they can't afford rent is a series of socialistic housing policies, the spread of public and affordable housing squeezing supply to the point that only the rich can afford open market apartments. streetstreeter33
+4 CIBC mining is where the fun at. You should work for Kay Yoo Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Let’s also be honest about the fact that the job market is pretty terrible right now. There has been a tangible shift from an employees market to an employer’s market. NNJCRE
+4 Honestly looks pretty good. Not a lot of whitespace and pretty standard formatting, so feedback is pretty nit-picky: Summer Associate in Consulting
+4 I went to one of these schools (and have several close friends in finance who went to the other) + I work in private markets in London. Investment Analyst in PE - LBOs
+4 Also kind of hard to understand people who don’t work in the industry spending so much time commenting on how there doesn’t seem to be gender discrimination when women who work in the industry tell them there is. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 I’d do it and never look back. The best type of gig. It’ll be laughable how easy the day to day is vs banking, this is coming from someone who went from wealth management to banking (thinking of going back now ). Research Analyst in IB - CB
+4 Ha bet a recruiter reached out to you as well? Spoken to people that have worked there and the culture is still trash. Apparently lots of politics and backstabbing. Associate 3 in AM - Equities
+4 For what it’s worth I got a very average to below average review during my first mid-year review. “Needs more reps” “Still developing” etc. ROCKYBALBOA83
+4 Yeah I looked at the deal as well, and based on my best guess, Debtwire (which is where I got my data from) is more accurate bc it tracks each individual deal independently & you can access each deal, unlike the Deal w shumsky
+4 Our EAs are useless and I do not like them. They are lazy which is fucking annoying because they get paid ~$150k plus to book meetings and flights and otherwise basically nothing. Always slow to respond. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+4 This is one of the traps MBA Associates fall into and can never really get out of Managing Director in IB-M&A
+4 same thing I've always done (partner in a PWM practice), just working less hours because I'm at a good income level and would rather sharpen the saw growing MSD/HSD than try to move up rankings lists thebrofessor
+4 WF easy  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+4 Just you wait until the WF simps see this. WF is a t10 franchise with great pay, the best culture, and every single MD is very strong. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Those look like low fees for the commercial appraisals. I would have expected significantly higher for both. DisgruntledAppraiser
+4 depending on the quality of the LO AM it is an uphill battle but doable... Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+4 Better to go to a bank that doesn’t sponsor or significantly restricts H1-B holders. Can confirm the culture difference is night and day. VP in IB - Gen
+4 Not really, but it depends. The Canadian pensions (CPP, OMERS, PSP, Teachers) and SWF (GIC, ADIA, AussieSuper) that are credibly underwriting directs are still sweaty. losing interest
+4 Investment Analyst in VCOkay, valid rebuttal. And I see your points. BannahboatAO
+4 Worked in public finance as an analyst before transitioning. Can't speak to the S&T experience, but my experience in public finance exceeded expectations. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+4 There is a lot of nepotism in real estate.  Half my analyst class came from real estate families. odog @digitalimmortality.com
+4 Happened to me when I was interviewing. Deloitte's IB arm reached out (even though I knew they didn't sponsor) and fast-tracked me to a superday. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 Drop the cleats. Sound stuck on college sameness or ig meme world. 67676767

+4 If you can keep your head when all about you         Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,     gagagagavabanau
+4 We'll definitely be able to help you without more context! Intern in IB - Cov
+4 PhantomGhost IsItREPE
+4 Got it. Given that you're a junior VP, I'd vote #2. At this point in your career, deal reps are super important (sounds like may not get many at current shop). SaaSChimp
+4 Ok so sure the obvious answer is take the book and run with it. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 Canada's immigration policy has been severely tightened ever since Carney came in. They have reduced foreign student permits and PGWP spots + backlog of US H1Bs applying to get visas in Canada. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Can't believe how badly people are overreacting to 1 Quarter of Fees  VP in IB - Cov
+4 It's absurd how much crime Americans tolerate. Vagrant bums attacking people on public transit isn't normal. JulianRobertson
+4 You're right, I wasn't prepped for the technical aspect of it (grind wasn't an issue, I worked demanding job before), but have been putting in the work this year to ensure I am. Band of Monkeys
+4 I have had this issue. The way I dealt with it was confronting them directly and tried to have a genuine conversation to understand where the disconnect was coming from. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+4 Im sorry i wasn’t asking the guy(s) (who knows how many accounts you have) who hasn’t had a partner in a year and was likely fired as his intelligence and maturity in finance was likely on-par with the creativity he has sh Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Finished NY IB HV had 6 questions, 5 behavioral, and 1 deal question, only one attempt. Wasn't hard just be prepared.  Hire.Vue.Mods
+4 Don't try to pull anyone's leg or try to see what you can get away with. People do notice (even if they act nice and dumb to your face) and it will back fire tremendously.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 It's on par with CVP/PJT/GS/MS if not better. Heard their analysts get insane responsibility and some are total rockstars (think sourcing deals from day 1). GDUDs
+4 Drink and party with upperclassmen from there the offers will come. Helped me land offers at my target school and was effortless.  hedopi3701
+4 From what I understand, it is correct. The way I think of it: ballknowledge
+4 Bump did they come out? IBGigachad
+4 Not sure what my title is anymore, but I'm a GP founder. I've been in your shoes before, the angle on "promotion" is really helpful if you're aiming at that title at your new shop. EightAceTres
+4 Hello Rich  nooneinparticular
+4 Kids place all the way up until mid July contrary what this site says. Some banks may drop some roles in like May- June. You pretty much need to be doomscrolling LinkedIn every day for these opportunities. Analyst0910
+4 You learn these things by doing and spending time speaking with owners, developers, brokers, users, etc. Its a somewhat niche industry but once you are in it, none of it is that complex.  Dev_WanaBe
+4 South east asian that were born women or south east asian women in general? RestIess
+4 I’ll bite - start posting on social media (TikTok & IG) & look into becoming a full time runway model. liquidiot
+4 Ok helpful. Without having lived this, my off the cuff reaction is negative. SaaSChimp
+4 How certain are you that you will be promoted to senior associate and (more importantly) VP at your current fund? If certain, I'd stay there Investment Analyst in HF - Other
