+16 3.7 gpa at h/y/w, straight white male, have gotten multiple r1’s + offers off cold apps. Stop complaining and reflect. If you’re getting 1-2 calls, why arent those converting into r1’s? Prospect in IB - Gen
+16 I simply am not hating hard enough. Thank you for inspiring me. I will be worse to those around me whom I wish to endure calamity Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+16 Doesn’t really make sense to separate out some RX groups and not others. Like this implies CVP RX is S+ and 2 tiers above PWP, and 5+ tiers above Gugg. Or that Ducera RX is better than GHL and JEF, let alone Gugg. alfrendo-org
+16 First, congrats on BofA that’s hype. Second, enjoy your low BofA bonus next year. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+16 WF and BMO in the same tier is wild work. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+16 me (girl) reading this as an incoming sa at wf  Prospect in IB - Cov
+16 Some people will complain if they have a Chinese name and some will complain if they don't. In your post OP you both complained that they integrate, then complained that they don't. investmenttbanking
+16 Also maybe not what you want to hear, but RE gets way more brokery than financey as you get more senior. I would almost always expect an associate to have better excel skills than their superior. Developer in RE - Comm
+16 Hdhfuejwdbfhrhwjxc SeniorityMonkey
+16 Maple Sirup SlurperI mostly lean conservative, but it's pretty clear from the files and from other places that trump is a "PDF file".  IsItREPE
+16 I too work at BofA Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+16 If not the first line, it should definitely be on the upper half of your resume. lucien_de_montclair
+16 most of the people on this site are 19 year old incels from Edison, NJ who watched the wolf of Wall Street once. Hope this helps!  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+16 Intern in IB - Cov
+16 Agreed. But there are ways to do that without throwing people under the bus. From my experience, it’s best to be someone who builds up others and promotes good people. Hags28
+16 Bye, thanks for stopping by! Gonna be one hell of an uphill climb now. Everyone successful in life always got an EB offer right out of college and never has any setbacks early in life. Smoke Frog
+16 Not long and detailed enough. 6/10 canadianibftw
+16 Missing the SF recovery is wild to me. They've been there for generations. If they missed the recovery in their own backyard, where's their competitive edge? Principal in RE - Other
+16 Heard from a reliable source that BDT, PJT, and Moelis are splitting on an office in Brookfield Place and sending all Canadians there Intern in IB-M&A
+16 Everyone in real estate knows Brandon never seemed especially interested in the business and came into it with every advantage. Berkeley12
+16 Regardless of how it’s written, does AI introduce another layer of risk to office investing? Obviously yes. That’s the point. Managing Director in RE - Other
+16 I already gave color on their most recent acquisition above. Even on the 2024/25 deals, you're not getting to 16 – 18% at 7.0 – 8.0% caps when they mostly used debt funds at S+300, if not higher. Senior VP in RE - Comm
+16 Visa status or citizenship has nothing to do with any layoffs (which aren’t happening btw). You are just racist against Asian. longliveCS

+15 This war has already dragged on far longer than anyone expected. phillyboy
+15 I don't know why this got shit - perfectly valid take. Whoever is in charge of the project should go on the guarantees. brosephstalin
+15 Stanford full-stop. Both Stanford and UVA are excellent schools, but unless you feel very strongly that you would enjoy the social experience at UVA substantially more, then you should go to Stanford. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+15 Coming up in this business in the 2000s, I used to really look up to them. Literally. Their office was at the top of 555 Cal, back then one of the best seats on the West Coast. SF_Giants
+15 Completely wrong, look up any reputable league table, talk to anyone in the industry, or talk to any recruiter. The answer is clearly Wells Fargo over UBS.  Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+15 Congrats on citi Prospect in IB - Cov
+15 i mean you're hiring smart foreigners from top schools not dumb hicks, huge difference right? Prospect in HF - Other
+15 Nothing you did in banking is really relevant at all other than learning attention to detail and how to do basic ppt / xls work. If you want to prepare for PE:  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+15 Our MD called at 9:45 p.m. on a Thurs night because a client might consider a transaction in the next 18–36 months. He asked for a “light five-pager” by breakfast. Anonymous Monkey.

+15 so when are you signing up to fight, buddy? ultra_user
+15 Reading the comments, I think there is an overestimation of how available “Golden Handcuffs” are given.   odog @digitalimmortality.com
+15 You owe it to yourself. Your loved ones will be watching over you. Make them proud KageSelly
+15 There are a lot of factors at play.  On average, women have higher agreeableness than men so they gravitate towards careers where that quality is a plus (not hedge funds). VP in PE - LBOs

+15 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+15 If you're supposed to be working/doing something professional-adjacent and you're seen/heard geeked out, you will be thought less of and word will spread. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀

+15 aint no way u copied chat 1:1 into a post 💀💀💀 Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+15 It definitely seems like some/a lot of his content is exaggerated for views or to generate outrage in the comments, but it is also possible that he simply worked in a tough group with an awful culture. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+15 When were they? Since World War II, 10 of the 11 U.S. recessions have begun under Republican presidents. If Trump keeps going, it will be 11/12.  WeatherController
+15 None, he's a local politican whose main policies frankly do not impact much for any of us outside those that work in NYC real-estate. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+15 Where there’s smoke theres fire, but they might change their minds because of the backlash they received Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+15 Happened to me years back. Landed smth better. Same exact situation with zero negative feedback. Some teams just suck at providing effective mentorship. That’s life. rolo25
+15 You should leverage this as a networking opportunity and use it as lever to join her BB Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+15 The only person UBS M&T/M&A/FIG can hire is internationals for a reason. No American above analyst level wants to join after meeting the people in those groups. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+15 So, did you make it? J.P. Morghan

+15 They are so imaginative that they pitch all the clients the same crackpoint "creative" ideas! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+15 One of their VPs has been looking around for a new gig for a while now. Hope it works out. Tough job market, especially at that level. Crimson_
+15 This is absolutely insane talk. If you’re mid 30s and have 4mm liquid, stop being a loser about it because that is a blessing. Low interest rates are over and none of us are getting carry like our predecessors. Developer in RE - Comm
+15 They remain focused on not making money. MMPM
+15 I agree with the sentiment of what you're saying, but nothing more. I also don't love AI creeping into every part of my life. It's coming for parts of my job. sappy
+15 UBS is known for having a leading LevFin franchise for the single-B / sponsor backed companies of the world, neither of which apply to a corporate to corporate media mega merger (also the coverage which UBS is probably the Intern in IB - Gen
+15 Because the incentives in the industry have turned the process into this fake clown charade. 1. IC enforces rules like “must be 3x” etc.  Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+15 Coming from a similar background, the first thing you should do is stop with that negative self-talk bullshit. Kondo
+15 There are a lot of courses out there. Wall Street Prep is the gold standard, and many banks use that for training. The WSO course isn't bad also, but I've definitely seen errors in them. Mastery 7 IB Shitter

+15 All Asian all hands tomorrow at 9 pm on the 6th floor break area to discuss their options, including paying the $100k out of pocket to UBS Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+15 Interviewed with them earlier this year for the SF spot. Lots of junior turnover and basically zero upward mobility. Seems like the only way to move up is another round of layoffs. Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+15 `trust fund vested; how do I make up a good story?` jabroni1234567
+15 With proper documentation, you can make lots of $$$ of settlement if they fire you for trying to form a union or forming a union. If you don’t plan on staying beyond 2 years, there’s no downside. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+15 Former Leerink here, and I’m sure I’ll get MS for this because people on WSO can be weirdly cultish about the firm, but I honestly do not care anymore. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+15 Wow you spoke to an incoming summer analyst?! you must really know everything! Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
