+4 usernameladiesman217: The_honorable_JP
+4 Thanks for the input, which side do you prefer? Assuming production being that is your background, are you a producer now? Analyst 1 in RE - Comm

+4 Which buyout PE shops normally scale up R&D and product investment? Would love to hear names that do this regularly because I don't know any... at best I know a few that are net neutral on product investment. kuf135
+4 Just prep your deal walkthrough and tell me about yourself. Maybe read up long-form news on companies / economy (seekingalpha is good for this). Associate 1 in PE - LBOs

+4 Associate 2 in IB - Gen PetEng
+4 I work in I&L in London and think you’d have an easy time lateraling to a fund here. Funds specifically recruit for Nordic speakers because it’s so tough to break in without commonality. Christophiish
+4 The hard truth is that many banks don’t hire international candidates today, and those that do set a very high bar—making it extremely difficult to land a job. VP 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 Depends which banks. If EB don’t worry but if Jefferies / GS / Qatalyst u will need a club yes. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+4 Distressed has only gotten worse since I wrote many comments 2 years ago, I’m in at least a couple of LMEs that will just turn into illiquid dog shit on the other end, and of course being on the steerco was a previously ba Research Associate in HF - Event
+4 (1) The salary ask most likely is not the cause.  (2) Here is how I do it.  jl12
+4 It's ironic to see that for bankers who talk a lot about scaling, growth, and judging businesses on a day to day basis, cannot grasp that finance, just like any other industry, is also subject to economies of scope and sca Matchabee

+4 Honestly, I think if you're making over $200k TC, it comes down to how much you value the long-term brand of the MBA. datboi1234
+4 What are you pitching? There’s plenty of biotech specialists on this board, including yours truly. Summarize your thesis here and we can tell you if it’s shit. Seats are pretty scarce overall so it’s not easy. Benson Says
+4 If it were me, I would give $15-$20mm to 1-2 financial advisors to invest in the stock market. Fred Fredburger
+4 Thank you Intern in IB - Gen for your perspective. More than likely this is some sweat trying to force it to kickoff as early as possible. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 Fully agree and the scary part about this is that these kids are supposed to be the cream of the crop of their class. Imagine what the sub 3.5 GPA crowd looks like.  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 I'm not sure what you're trying to prove with this post. So your experience is different, happy for you. Doesn't make the commentary on Canada incorrect.  Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+4 This feels super low... no? Thought AS1 was clearing $260K at least. Associate 2 in Private Credit
+4 Likely not. For one, 6 months is an extremely short time period to judge someone's actual results. usernameladiesman217
+4 Infra sucks. Seriously. In large cap infra and trying to transition out to PE but if not literally anything. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 Would you say a phd is even a plus anymore? In the last few years many firms that historically required phd now prefer undergrads from top schools. cp5670
+4 Hold strong! We must not say anything positive about UBS fellow monkeys. Analyst 1 in IB - ECM
+4 You’re worried about a situation that shouldn’t matter to you. What you’ve heard is correct, having a job vs. not having a job is a night and day difference when recruiting. JetsTanksSubmarine
+4 GPT calling out HL for churning is hilarious lol Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Yes. We underwrite other aspects of value creation but the main driver usually revolves around M&A and multiple arbitrage.  Relentlessly Pragmatic
+4 Stay strong, shabbat is the source of blessing.  Prospect in RE - Comm
+4 Ppl shouldn’t be filling out applications online if they actually want to make a move. They should be leveraging the vast network of ex-BofA bankers that are now at other banks. VP in IB - Cov

+4 Real OGs remember “bull or bear, that is the question” Analyst 2 in IB - Gen

+4 They’ve got a nice stable of investment bankers, they’re pretty well-known in the MM, particularly in tech and some spots in industrials, but they are absolutely bleeding talent right now due to how bad compensation is.&… TabernacleHouse
+4 Unfortunately banking doesn't teach you shit about investing (I started in a coverage team at an IB), if it's just 2yrs in an IB program that you've done, then you have a lot of learning to do  LO Equity - Family Office
+4 Yea study hard - we're all taking networking calls already too so make sure to be on top of that because no matter how hard you study, if you don't have an in then you can't even interview. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+4 Pretty consistent with my experience. I was hired 3 years ago as a manager and now am a director and don't have anyone under me either. Should note my company is PE-backed (~$1bn EV) and going through a sale process. rubiomn9
+4 I think women being evasive, indirect, and deferential hurts them far more in finance than being abrasive. I also think being well-liked by peers and being seen as competent are two separate evaluations. PEPrincess

+4 They definitely have reasons to be arrogant. As them why stock price went from 75 to 42 in the past 6 months… Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 Its been communicated by a mix of people. The first one was the team who called and asked me to actually pull out of another process I was in, and I stupidly did so. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+4 The guy from JLL is spot on, but I will add one crucial point about your technical development if you actually take the T2 job. MitchtheREguy
+4 I pitched INTC back in 2024 (bought in ~$20/shr) and my base case was $40, bull case ~$60. big_dawg

+4 Do you look at this post when you jerk off? Analyst 2 in PE - LBOs
+4 There's clearly a gap between those schools. Interestingly, this is how the schools would line up if grouped by placement quality instead of quantity. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 It’s a toss up at the analyst level. BofA pays the median analyst ~5-10k more vs Citi so if you really care about that go for it.  RBOB_squarepants
+4 ESCP has the better program but tbh the LSE brand still holds more weight even though outcomes and cohort quality haven't exactly been solid.  Analyst 3+ in AM - FI
+4 congrats on PJT Analyst 2 in IB - Restr
+4 30 is definitely a different age as 2 years more out of 5 of experience are clearly a significant step up. Yet, if we just count the income (gross) for 6 years of experience I struggle to see a 1m net worth.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+4 Congrats on UBS Tech! Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+4 Yeah this  is interesting.  Webster has always punched above its weight. I'm not sure of the scale of the deposits against the wholesale figures Santander puts out would reduce the cost of funding. C.R.E. Shervin
+4 CREMonkeyzCame out in 2017, wouldn’t have been possible unfortunately odog @digitalimmortality.com

+4 Very heavy on being personable, but far more important is demonstration of genuine curiosity and teachability. BBG STRU Enjoyer
+4 Yeah so you didn’t really add any new information, the original post said ~20 a year. And stop shifting the goalposts, I never said everyone at stern gets a top seat. rooseveltfan
+4 Gugg Intern with a return offer here. I wouldn’t call it carnage by any means. Just notably lower than last year. I do know of some people that grinded very hard this summer and did not receive offers. Prospect in IB - Cov
+4 at least be helpful and drop which are interviewing -someone who interviewed at PJT and LAZ this week Intern in IB - Cov
+4 Aged like milk user.venv
+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 Late stage VC is very crowded and the number of high quality deals that can done is a narrower universe than the early stage. Determined
+4 A lot of internal reporting - essentially taking information from various management data and repackaging it for LPs / internal valuation purposes. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+4 Got placed into PFG Intern in IB - Cov
+4 use the time to prep for pe lol clLLOALL
+4 Ah, okay. So you’re just a fucking loser? Associate 1 in IB-M&A
