+4 GS came to my school for OCR and the two healthcare analysts I spoke with were pretty negative on the group. Intern in IB-M&A
+4 Having actually worked at one or more of the firms listed, here are a few insights: revenant311
+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 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 I think where this comes in is at bonus time. Real estate tends to be a low salaries + higher bonus structure, especially as you move up. When times are good, you can make a lot of money. CRESF
+4 Agree with the top comment, learn your lesson and be glad it didn't impact your health/others around you. mrharveyspecter
+4 Brit here. I’d probably private the pictures with Alex and more delicately state that experience somehow. For the US - at this point having all that stuff on your LinkedIn/CV might actually help you Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+4 CIBC mining is where the fun at. You should work for Kay Yoo Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Damn bro that sounds like a tough situation. I am very familiar with landscaping and that business, but would never want to be an owner in that industry. Good luck with the choices ahead. Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+4 The other option is big 4 Prospect in IB-M&A
+4 Kids nowadays think about exits before even getting into banking lol. As someone who's worked in Corp dev, PE, and IB, here's my two cents: Green Zeus
+4 A new analyst had to change the ink in the printer late night. He messed it up and ended up inhaling the ink fumes. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 Was fortunate enough to get into both, chose Ross. Stern might be more “prestigious” but I had interviews at just about every top EB / BB. Michigan is undoubtedly a much better college experience. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 One additional perspective. At your mba program you’ll no doubt meet many peers interested in search funds or ETA. DayMan247
+4 This is just not true, Cornell recruiting is still fine, still places the most people at JPM, and got like 8+ into Evercore 1kjadshk
+4 del anonf0fty
+4 wait until u on-cycle lol Intern 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 Just to be safe, I would do EB/ BB IBD SA junior summer, try to secure the return offer, and then recruit for MF PE.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+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 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 Yes, some of them still exist, but they’ve shifted in structure over the last few years. A lot of banks have rebranded them as “early insight” or “pre-internship” programs. Elijah_Zerner
+4 For the love of everything, do not use the term build to suite. It’s build to suit. Industrial developers typically play in both spec and BTS strategies due to the larger land sites they have to take down. Assist. VP in RE - Comm
+4 Based on the premise that nothing changes, if you want HF, the best way forward then is to recruit as early as you are willing, provided this is truly a top seat. So yes I agree, just apply and network now. Associate 3 in HF - Other
+4 I second the above posters. I grew up mildly autistic, fucked up a lot of social interactions, but genuinely just learnt how socialising works. I have no problems now, but rather people describe me as very sociable. Prospect in Consulting
+4 If you are still asking questions like this you are NGMI anyways Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 People in here are going to be upset by it, but lying about your resume is really a significantly positive asymmetric risk here. loud_bathroom
+4 Are you paying out of pocket? I think ASU/Bama would be your cheapest bets if so. Both have smaller IB programs and massive out of state scholarships. Intern in IB - Gen
+4 thanks for the kind words. the best way in my opinion to figure out which path to get on is a combination of what I call the ladder mentality, informational interviews, and thinking in downside thebrofessor
+4 On_The_Edge odog @digitalimmortality.com
+4 SA at BB with 1.5x here, take it like a good boy! Intern in IB-M&A

+4 You stole this from twitter to get likes. Get some originality you great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jelly. I’m sure you understand what’s going on too…… Associate 3 in PE - Other
+4 Yeah but there’s no reason to trade away TOTAL freedom to make another $50-100mm over the next few years when you already have $50mm+. Anonymous Monkey
+4 That’s completely fair, there is only so much you can do as an individual.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+4 Got it. So you're probably overpreparing then, but better than being unprepared. relatively_levered_loans
+4 Why would you need foreign talent in the most sought after industry/job role in the US is the general argument that an average American presents when arguing against H1B.  Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+4 not sure out of everything I mentioned (class warfare, aerial bombing of Black Wall Street) that DEI abuse is the “interesting bit”? Would you mind offering thoughts on those other “not-so-interesting” bits? itoolikepeanuts
+4 I went to a service academy and have been working in IB for awhile now.  Works at Goldman Sachs
+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 Meh I disagree…I do non-therapeutics hc — think the moat around every sector is a spectrum… Associate 3 in ER
+4 You wanna use adjusted numbers (non-gaap) — press releases provide reconciliation. Associate 3 in ER
+4 Lol this forum really does make people go insane - I have been on this forum for close to a decade now and the topics de jure have literally never changed.  Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+4 Lots of secondaries and smaller VC primary. Has an iffy rep for interns bc half of them do jack shit, but other half go on to top banks and are pretty cracked Intern in ER
+4 Great profile.  Essec is not a strong target school in london, I'd avoid as an international  Mainly look at lse lbs icl and oxbridge for London  adrien3
+4 Tower Hamlets is that you Research Analyst in ER
+4 i have heard lies in my life, but never like this biscuitsandgravery
+4 London -  AN1 xxxxx anonf0fty
+4 Came from MBA too and felt like this for me... but for friends at some other programs was drastically different. As they say mileage varies so make sure you know the prep well. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+4 Ignore header, incoming BA/AC/associate at MBB NYC and might as well hop in. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 Yes, but you're still making 2X the average corporate salary right out of the gate, and then 3, 4, and even 5X by year 5. rolo25
+4 equitymuncherplease do tell us more Managing Director in IB-M&A
+4 The evidence is clear that use of any of these just sets your baseline to a point where you need that much to function normally, and need an ever-increasing amount to get any benefit. Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+4 Thanks for this! I’m an analyst in a credit investing program doing performing and stressed credit. Investment Analyst in PE - Other
+4 I’ll try to weave the questions into my response but Large City, dating, in IB. seekinthealpha1
+4 Being a browns fan is like seeing your dog get run over by a car each sunday. God I hate this fucking team I hate it so much why did we let Baker go. I don't think Shadeur should play another snap. I mean Dillon. Substack_Guy
+4 just did AC for MS and got offer for GS, absolute lifesaver bless you foreever. hope both sides of your pillow are cold Intern in IB-M&A
+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 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 For London sponsorship will be an issue for boutiques unless you study there. For Paris ones you need at minimum C1. adrien3
+4 For sure, he totally mismanaged the bank the last couple years and somehow got promoted for it Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+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 If you’re getting carry and salary / bonus is workable, i’d take the LMM offer. Associate 1 in PE - Growth
+4 I guess it depends on what you value and how you view higher education. I never thought of college as a path to a first job. College is a place and time where you learn and grow during your most formative years. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+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 I am a Canadian working at one of these firms. It doesn’t affect us because we use TN visa so anything that happens with H1B doesn’t matter. Are you slow?  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 iercurencHot take: having sex with a 17-year-old doesn't make you a pedophile. There it is. Got another one.  PokerSlopWars

+4 If you don’t have any other solid options what are you fretting over? Partner in PE - LBOs
+4 I find it weird when people with internships applying to a slightly different internship call it "transitioning". You're not transitioning from anything - you don't have a career yet. nutmegger189
+4 Most sellers I’ve worked with hate them Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 It’s a bubble. People keep forgetting bubbles are about valuation, ignoring the debate about the utility of AI, even truly transformative technologies e.g. guyfromct
+4 For one, the only weekend protection is Friday 6 PM to noon Saturday. There's a "protected holiday" system but that too can get busted with group head approval. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+4 Have a friend there, definitely a mixed bag. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 but saar i vant to be in amrika saarrr Nurse Rahma Dikhinmabhatt
+4 Relatively speaking given you are in PE -  10-20 good years, with a few blowout years scattered about and equity/carry/something that will give you a chunky payout. Addinator
+4 I'm gonna go a little in the other direction and say it depends. Ozymandia
+4 Partner / co-founder at an Operator here (title is stale). We actually had an unpaid intern for a year or 2. Director in RE - Comm
+4 Thanks for the insights VP in PE Intern in IB - Gen
+4 mr goldman stanley accidentally doxxed his name in one of those resume review videos (i think he used his own resume) so it was pretty easy to find his linkedin ILOVEBANANAS123
+4 Highly unlikely you can transfer to a top school w a GPA that’s this bad Prospect in IB - Gen
+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 If Levin and some of they kev LevFin MDs leave, UBS IB in the US is finished. Already probably is. Once Sergio is gone at YE the new CEO will immediately can Marco and his failed minions. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Intern in IB - Restranyone got insight on what this means for incoming sa's? Dazzling-External-29
+4 Definitely winning hearts and minds here. PetEng
+4 Returns for the flagship are at least decentIn my mind, cover a bit of a tweener segment of tech investing -- assets that aren't as sexy as ones Silversmith, etc. VP in PE - Growth
+4 Not entirely familiar but have worked on a handful of engagements for PV on the debt & equity side. Gold-ManSacks
+4 this is blatantly wrong lol. women literally outnumber men 2/1 in some groups at the junior level subwaysooj
+4 The answer is nuanced and depends on what exactly you offer is for and what you would like to focus on. For anything infrastructure and renewables related, Nomura will be miles ahead of HL. Managing Director in IB - Cov
+4 There are so, so many things you said that demonstrate how you are relying pretty much exclusively on your emotions over how any of this actually works. jl12
+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 Hard to look at the performance of REIT stocks over the past 5-10 years and say that you can hit a single buying REIT stocks.... CRESF
+4 If you flunk FCAT you either have shit modeling skills or got tripped up in some of their notations. ProbablyEngAnyway
+4 Yes this is fine. Most people don't have perfect backgrounds going into MBA. You have a bulge bracket name brand and a finance related job. Nobody Man
+4 Spot on -- far and away the issue in the US is spending. If you reduced waste / fraud / abuse and re-engineered some broken systems  (ex. The Penguin
