+4 For all the swatting the gnat on the specific figure of $2M per year, I think people are swallowing the camel which is the fact that a 25-year-old would typically only stand to make $250-300K or so. kellycriterion
+4 When the job that’s known for having long hours and a shitty culture has long hours and a shitty culture TwoSigmaMale

+4 Have you considered reaching out to Angie Baez for advice? Amazon Prime
+4 Ah, yeah if you're not even in TMT it's going to be a stretch. Every single person I know was covering the sector they invested in. Determined
+4 Agree with the top comment, learn your lesson and be glad it didn't impact your health/others around you. mrharveyspecter

+4 You make some decent points here but you’re also over indexing to certain outcomes too. Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+4 Dude u can be the pope, why you wanna do finance atp nooneinparticular

+4 Analyst 1 in RE - Other CRE

+4 I’m sorry to say it but… they’re going to track you down and kill you :( Prospect in Consulting
+4 This offer doesn't feel very competitive at all. I think only reason to do it is you really want to be in that city / you hate your job and want out ASAP / the team setup is great, i.e. PE-biz-dev
+4 Hours are actually pretty good, rarely above 50, sometimes closer to 40 during slower periods. The WLB at my current shop has been more than good compared to most credit roles. arw444
+4 Lol your policy sounds great. At a growing MM (4bn fund) that pays above market, but our travel policy is very conservative. $400 hotel max (inclusive of fees and taxes!), economy+ for flights >4hrs. VP in PE - LBOs

+4 There's a huge element of luck with timing. MMPM

+4 This unfortunately happens a lot that people don't really realize until they get into their seat. RonaldBacon
+4 Take my views with a grain of salt as I have moved on from finance, however, I have had the benefit of securing senior stakeholder buy-in when in the industry as well as the industry I have moved on to.  PEPrincess
+4 Think you could say the same (more accurately) about most of history’s worst disasters and failures as well tflorence308
+4 I worked til 3am every other day for the first four years with no holidays. You’re right, that was way more than five hours extra. WSRaider
+4 90%+ of the greatest human achievements have been done by what you'd probably call a "boy's club" BoweryScumbag

+4 This didn’t age well Dow70K
+4 Your friends probably live in the West. Those that fled the current regime live in the West. That's called selection bias. There are actually people that support this regime (although I disagree with them). Sharky286
+4 my brother in finance jesus. I do not have time to pursue such trivial matters as fun and leisure. What am I a hollowed out shell of empty dreams and pointless pursuits? There's money to be made. JBK
+4 Excellent points by guys above. Look, the bear case isn't '90+% of associates are gone because of AI'. therealgekko

+4 The guy’s going thru shit n u wanna make a joke…. lordchampa
+4 Man if your job feels like auschwitz you should quit [email protected]
+4 Adding onto the above comment, I have also found MF PE Analyst programs to have smaller analyst class sizes, less training, less guidance, and a way more intense atmosphere than EB / BB IBD Analyst programs, so I personall Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+4 I would say choose ND Incoming IB SA NYC
+4 Their pipeline has been great for 3 years, yet results haven’t materialized. I don’t think their pipeline was ever great and they were are straight up lying to themselves Prospect in IB - Gen
+4 Saw their resume, an acquisition hire kept as manager with only a two year degree is nuts. Associate 3 in HF - Other
+4 Buddy, I think you missed the whole point of my comment. What you prefer vs what you have edge in and aligns with your investors goals is completely different.  stateschool_FIRV
+4 That’s completely fair, there is only so much you can do as an individual.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+4 There is something to be said about starting fresh and having a new start, but you don’t just drop into NYC and all of a sudden have friends. nontargetfromtarget
+4 Lot of speculation here with out full facts. What did you do since residency? Bummed around? Or built a real career? Was it healthcare related? WSRaider
+4 Happens all the time. We need to be more specific about what is prevalent and that is Gender DEI. VP in IB - Cov

+4 You wanna use adjusted numbers (non-gaap) — press releases provide reconciliation. Associate 3 in ER
+4 Yes this is correct. ECM is not good but its coming off such a low revenue year that at least its up YoY. Group is still underperforming as well. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 i wish I went to stern icl rowan_tepper
+4 I work in healthcare consulting and had this conversation with a partner, he thinks there is some bullshit but some of the clinical research capabilities are incredible from what I'm seeing in the industry. NewIndustryHorizon
+4 I doubt TMT is able to cover their costs with that many guarantees, especially on a risk weighted basis VP in IB - Gen
+4 i guess dude but i'd rather choke on a sausage Intern in CorpStrat
+4 Parasite in the workplace, parasite out of the workplace. Looks, sounds and acts exactly like you'd expect someone in DEI to. Seriously hope that she never gets anywhere near a six figure salary again. Balance.of.Payments
+4 I'm a jr investor at a fund similar "tier wise" to Thrive/Sequoia so can offer my perspective. To address a few misconceptions in your post: Investment Analyst in VC

+4 I also went through a crazy amount of processes, was super burned out and worn down. I fully agree with everything your saying. Associate 1 in PE - Other

+4 Now scratch everything and replace with AI agents… ;)) strghtfrwrd
+4 Barring HL (which has the weird intro coffee chats acting as 1Rs and such), I believe consensus is to kick off recruiting in early Jan. tentwothree
+4 Bro for the 50th time, you are a high school senior going to Stern. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION ON RECRUITING BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW A THING. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+4 Will note that for associate processes, you aren't expected to nor would I reccomend you go as in-depth as my comment. Just create word docs with bullets on each and that should be enough. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 UPDATE: They got investor approval to do this - saw the video from Haptonstall. Closing of the new sr. is expected late March/early April apparently hitsamty
+4 If you look at the skyline of Shenzhen, China it is crazy.  Going from a population of 300,000 in 1980 to 18 million in 2026.  Want to know where globally priced building commodities and capital are going? odog @digitalimmortality.com
+4 Two different people told me something similar this month. Maybe not end but limit it to 2 times a week or something similar to lower costs Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen
+4 And the other one isn’t even in IB. You’re just actually stupid 😭 Prospect in IB - Gen
+4 2m Managing Director in Private Credit
+4 This.  Everyone was dealt a hand.  Some combo of family wealth, connections, brains, health, looks and random lucky breaks.  Quality of the hand exists on a bell curve like everything else. Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+4 Got placed into PFG Intern in IB - Cov

+4 Oof I must have struck a nerve. What happened? You called, got in the room and didn’t get the job? VP in PE - LBOs
+4 The better question is: where does your finance / investing background actually create an edge inside an AI company? For PE/IB people, that is probably not core ML research. Ex-consultant in Tech
+4 Downtown IMO is the best part of Austin to live in so not sure what your friends are talking about. wb99
