+4 Had an analyst do this with me back when I was an intern. They're stressed you won't do the work. Next time, politely decline the call or find some bullshit excuse, and send them the work done perfectly in due time. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+4 Asset managers with actual operations/PM experience is always in short supply. The fact that you went and got an MBA and did some training course to show you understanding numbers will make it an easy transition.  MPBYO
+4 Reposting someone’s comment from another thread: Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 A burner to make this long-ass thing? Yeah, you are just an intern who didn’t get a rt. Sorry, bro.  user_5991
+4 It's impossible to give the answer because it depends on you and your goals.  Asummers521
+4 Investment Analyst in VCOkay, valid rebuttal. And I see your points. BannahboatAO
+4 100% agree with the above comment. I've seen people exit MBB at the 2 year mark and end up in roles they could've got after 1 year MBB. But to answer your question directly: Associate 1 in CorpStrat
+4 Yeah because in the history of corporate America, cutting trust worthy mid levels who oversee the process has never happened… and every company definitely has legions of middle managers for that reason lol  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+4 Drop the cleats. Sound stuck on college sameness or ig meme world. 67676767
+4 DB at 36th is insane Intern in IB - Cov

+4 you get staffed on a bad project if you're on the lower end in terms of hours Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+4 Well that’s because at a school like UChicago you can do whatever you want and still place as long as you’re not retarded and keep your grades up. rooseveltfan
+4 Because raising $15M almost certainly means you are raising from an institution, which means you only need to find one fish out of a sea of many to get your deal done. CRESF
+4 I mean this in a loving way but get a grip my friend because you thankfully have learned a most valuable lesson that 99% of hardos NEVER learn and thus get laid off - you have learned that in reality its all politics and l gordoongeekoo

+4 Excellent points by guys above. Look, the bear case isn't '90+% of associates are gone because of AI'. therealgekko
+4 I am at a top BB in a strong group. I originally started at a pitch-heavy group where VPs had life that seemed similar to yours. In my current group, VPs are sleep deprived and live at the office. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+4 Large REPE funds pay 350-400 for AM VPs. You are severely underpaid. young__money
+4 M&T has essentially no deal flow or exits beyond LMM PE, yet still grinds some of the longest hours at the bank. You’d think M&A would be stronger given it’s a product group, but it’s the opposite. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Other things equal (and often they aren't), someone with a STEM/design/construction background is better suited to learn finance and become a well-rounded senior developer than a finance guy is to become well rounded by le VP in RE - Comm
+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 Yes - I think ultimately at the VP and beyond, folks have earned their seat. Addinator

+4 I’ve heard that the residential / multifamily property management business is terrible (low margins, heavy staffing, high turnover) and that it’s often a loss leader, although real estate operators like having it in-house Partner in RE - Comm
+4 Junior talent way stronger in London than NY 15-20-% lower comp at some shops (equiv in others) but lower cost of living and way higher quality of life Managing Director in IB-M&A
+4 You’d be surprised how grindy some MM / other firms are and how cheap (in my opinion there are a number of firms where if you want to get promoted its just as much work/ if not more than MF). Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 It's not a $2bn fund, the evergreen fund is up to $15bn, can't exactly think of it like when other funds raise 2bn. Genstar pays $300k Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+4 WOORabbit buyside_only
+4 LAZ lost some talent but at the end of the day they still have the institutional edge which will always give them a spot as a top RX advisor. Analyst 2 in IB - Restr

+4 You calling Persians Arabs shows how little you know about any of this... Job Trunicht
+4 Prospect in IB-M&APlease do not redeem! Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Agree on WLB. I’m frequently working until 12-1am, good thing is that I can leave the desk and continue from home after 7-8pm almost every day, which is a big difference when you have a wife/are living with a partner. stayfrosty1337
+4 Take the Ai offer & if everything goes to shit you can just get an MBA in a few years and return to banking. Opportunities like this don’t come often man Prospect in IB - Gen
+4 Most of US PE isn't how you're describing it. Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+4 Personally I think it’s a great option if your on a budget but would like others input  IBchimp88
+4 Depends on what type of tech. Operation Managers are always in demand at Amazon and they pay well. Know quite a few post MBA contacts who lateralled over there after their first role. NewIndustryHorizon

+4 I don't think CFO of a PortCo has to be such a negative position like you make it out to be. There's a huge range in this. In my experience the larger the portco, the more likely you are to be towards CFO B Anonymous Monkey
+4 Lehman IB -> Barclays IB back in '09 Determined
+4 Do you tech bros ever tire of spewing your marketing nonsense on this site Prospect in IB - Cov
+4 Bad idea, for a lot of reasons. I'll list them here usernameladiesman217
+4 You can always jerk off. PEarbitrage
+4 Apparently i've never been in IB / PE according to the guy above just because I don't have a god complex, am able to recognize the reality and don't think i'm some irreplaceable genius for being able to put together an LBO Ares12
+4 I think that there are a good bit of differences. Whether Saddam controlled Iraq or not, made little difference to the U.S. NoEquityResearch
+4 Renewables like Nuclear and Geothermal are far far cheaper per kwh. usernameladiesman217
+4 Reread my comment, my whole point was that these edges are marginal at large-cap and only somewhat relevant in the MM/LMM (where there is simply a larger set of investable companies). Associate 2 in PE - LBOs

+4 Because most Americans spend beyond their means and lack basic financial education. Pokemon Master
+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 How fast do you think it should be going up? The name of the game in PE is carried interest, and that takes forever to materialize (if ever). overandout
+4 Other people may have different opinions, but I wouldn't have a cold outreach focusing on what you do out of the classroom because in the nicest way possible, no one you cold outreach to has any connection with you so it's LauraBushKilledAGuy

+4 You just get used to it. Culture matter more than hours. You can prob play videos games till midnight every night and not feel like you’re dying. Same goes with work if you somewhat like the work and the people. [email protected]
+4 So I was really getting at the idea some net lease fund managers have that credit rating of the tenant is all-consuming; credit rating is certainly important, but you don't own their bonds. kylejackson
+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 first of all - none of them are really hedge funds. idk if you can really call them hedge funds (yes the tiger cubs especially) when their drawdown is 20%-40% in a 1-2 months of market downturn. Analyst 1 in HF - EquityHedge
+4 I haven't dealt with your specific problem, but have had blood pressure and cholesterol issues that were driven in part by the stress and lifestyle.  anonymous investor
+4 Hazard10bump This thread was front page. Commented on three hours ago. Where are you bumping it from, exactly?  CRE
+4 Damn this is exactly my fear. I thought about deferring in the hope that the market improves sometime in 2027/2028, but it doesn't seem like that's a viable option. Associate 3 in CorpStrat
