+4 The more timelines are pushed the more reneges will happen Intern in IB-M&A
+4 Could be a timing thing as well, asking when you’re trying to get a deliverable out normally isn’t the best time but simply asking to revisit and explain the ‘why’ once things are a little quieter is normally a good compro ACATS
+4 UBS analysts were getting too fat to be client facing. This is a blessing.  Intern in IB - Gen

+4 You're in luck; I dealt with a similar situation when breaking into banking early on. lucien_de_montclair

+4 Boi if u don’t get ur ahh back to 550 s tryon rn - Prospect in IB - Cov

+4 You seem to have some vendetta against BofA lol. Are you the guy who got passed up to head IB. All of your observations bear the most weight for a VP about to turn into a director or a ED about to make MD. Smoke Frog
+4 Join a revolutionary Luddite group and torch data centers, probably Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 In a similar situation as a management consultant, was low balled (7-8%) on my base salary due to some stupid company policy on how they calculate YoE. NewIndustryHorizon

+4 I look at things in terms of what I achieve in a given week as opposed to what I achieve each day. Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+4 You think people who devote nearly all their waking hours of the best years of their life in the pursuit of money… believe in god?  jaxcut4

+4 Full scope poly + facial measurements + brainscan + probe mrjackpots
+4 that's cause dalio had solid inception years, was up 30+% in the early 90s 3 years in a row. For most of the 10s, and much of the 20s, performance has been really really bad. nooneinparticular
+4 Genuine question for you - why do you consider CVs "extend and pretend"? Principal in PE - Other
+4 Would say NESECAC recruiting tiers would be the following: 1: Williams Amherst Middlebury **Steep drop-off**2: Tufts, Wesleyan, Hamilton3: Bowdoin, Trinity Colby, Bates4: Conn college Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+4 Analyst 1 in IB - Genthis is definitely helpful, thanks a lot. have a few follow ups if you dont mind. gimly

+4 Alright most MM start Aug through Nov. The EBs start in June/July. The BBs are Aug. hijsjsj1234
+4 Was at a RX consulting firm up till pretty recently, and you're correct but also not. Associate 1 in Consulting

+4 Do your internship first and then see how excited you are about trading your life for money.  Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+4 Yes - I think ultimately at the VP and beyond, folks have earned their seat. Addinator
+4 I agree. I think it is really hard to know what you want until you have tried different jobs. I am currently about 7 years into my career (including undergrad internships). Healthcare Blues

+4 Congrats on UBS! Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+4 Excellent points by guys above. Look, the bear case isn't '90+% of associates are gone because of AI'. therealgekko
+4 I get it, dude. Everyone hates being wrong. Hopefully you can improve from here. Everyone hates Kelley kids but not enough to keep hiring them / let us go 60/60 or party with us. VP in PE - LBOs
+4 Past performance is not indicative of future results. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+4 You'll need a car. I think unless you live near CityPlace you might get a bit bored. West Palm definitely has some nice walkable parts, but it isn't that big.  Associate 3 in IB - Cov

+4 Hookers and blow, baby Research Analyst in HF - Other

+4 Thanks for the reply. FinServces
+4 Not 100% sure on culture, the group has changed so much it’s hard to tell. Lots of attrition the past two years. Director in IB - Gen
+4 It’s totally normal for a coffee chat to feel awkward. alex50

+4 Wrestled with this dissonance in my brain as well Swine-Linked-Notes

+4 Lonesome Dove is a hell of a read if you've got time boogiewonderland
+4 I think Emerging Money EMBA gave a good answer above. The decision largely collapses to: Burke

+4 Associate 3 in IB - ECM
+4 Popped into see some 🐀s aggressively defend their cage, was not disappointed. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+4 you know that this is about comp only? EbePrice

+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 It's like working in sauna.  Bulls_and_Bears
+4 If you're shortlisted for a corp sales (rates/fx) type role you'll likely not be dealing with institutional clients but rather large corps (think fortune 500) with hedge programs for their overseas operations. hedgefundguy97
+4 Pulled out the Carter folian what the fuuuuck did i just watch Prospect in S&T - Equities
+4 Aside from taking the unnecessary risk of maybe not being brought on full time, branding is pretty important early on in your career. Associate 2 in PE - Other

+4 Got it. Makes a ton of sense.  VP in PE - LBOs
+4 same what the actual hell is this glad i didn't move on in the process holy shit Intern in IB-M&A

+4 You've probably done this, but if not, here's where I'd start. REDev225
+4 Drink and party with upperclassmen from there the offers will come. Helped me land offers at my target school and was effortless.  hedopi3701
+4 All this dry powder that everyone talks about will need to get out the door. You had funds raising records amount of capital in 2021 and 2022 with fourish year investment windows. Guess what? CRESF
+4 You're in luck; I dealt with a similar situation when breaking into banking early on. lucien_de_montclair
+4 If you flunk FCAT you either have shit modeling skills or got tripped up in some of their notations. ProbablyEngAnyway
+4 Not to sound like an ass but if you’re as chopped as you say you are (to the point of needing an entire facial reconstruction) - don’t you think it’d be hard to land a front office seat? liquidiot

+4 Investment Analyst in VCThe only way for you is to hit the lottery or start a business.  This is an absolutely absurd take. devildog2067

+4 Hi - I'm at an m7 looking to do LO/HF recruiting post graduation (I didn't do consulting but also am from a somewhat career switch) BulgeBracketBrand123
+4 I had to wade through a cesspool of comments to find something remotely rational. Keep fighting the good fight sir. Your last couple of sentences sum it up well. It's only going to get more extreme.  Rabbit
+4 If the oil rig example didnt resonate, imagine asking for preferential treatment at a Hedge Fund or in Private Equity. Not for a week, or for a month, but IN PERPETUITY.  Associate 3 in CorpDev
+4 Who invited Warwick lol  professional.form.filler
