+18 I would answer all of this in painful detail but I have to be careful around the details as headcount is not that high and disclosure is obviously not very public unlike Millenium/citadel comp structure etc. Research Analyst in HF - Other
+18 Don’t lead by fear, that’s for assholes. Nobody wants to work for assholes, how many VPs / MDs who lead this way do you like working for? None is my guess. MidMarketMcLovin
+18 PE might not seem like the right thing, but I’ve seen a couple analysts buying some businesses and doing their own personal LBOs. Buy a 250k business but only put up 60k in equity. Prospect in IB - Gen
+18 Just like Moses, you too have been recognized as a prophet, and are therefore, called upon God the Father to enter the "promised land". You are going to Private Equity. ZetaMale

+18 pobisi5201 The third thing, is I can understand why there are pretty big pay gaps within companies. NoEquityResearch
+18 No, 10000000% not necessary. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad people are happy about roles they’ve landed but in my opinion it looks so unprofessional to make one of these posts. wsepicurean
+18 I’m not sure if this would help the global reserve situation but we should make voting democrat and especially liberal a war crime.  Lester Diamond

+18 I haven't been in healthcare/pharma in ~5 years now but I can provide some thoughts. For simplicity sake I'll just use bullets. accountingbyday
+18 Took analyst role at Blair over a top BB (GS, MS, JPM). Commented on the "Wb circlejerk" for why, but here's part of that post below because I think its helpful and relevant to this thread: sariasaria
+18 Don’t forget Chadrick too FederalReserveOfficial
+18 Damn drop the name of the banks do you guys work for, genuinely can't believe people talk like that. At my firm everyone is literally stereotypically PC and I don't even think I've heard anyone swear before. i.can.make.it
+18 PJT M&A doesn’t get looks from top shops? Have you been living under a rock at your “top target” (thx for reminding us)? Latest exits included BX, APO, Carlyle, TPG, CB, and a couple top HFs Intern in IB-M&A

+18 Life is funny, thought I needed a caring and loving wife… got a boyfriend go bananas
+18 You've come to the right place to discuss systemic racism. A website filled with white legacy hardos in an industry that is ridden with nepotism. SFBanker123
+18 The world on the net is an improving place, but the West is in a slow decline (that is, Western Europe, North America, and the European diaspora). I quit this site because of censorship

+18 OP you sound like you ARE bitter about being at a bank like BoA. Student asks a legitimate question "Do you have any regrets?"  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+18 Fuck that PE firm. You're literally in an industry where the only metric that matters is $$$. If they can't offer competitive comp they should kindly fuck off plskystks
+18 I don't know how much actionable advice I can give, but I've got some time and maybe you'll find some encouragement from the story.  I'm a non-target, low-GPA, late bloomer who has managed to scrape together a career Anonymous Monkey

+18 He literally said it in his note "excited for you to start ;)" in his LinkedIn request and I never cringed this hard Mr.JoeBaskin
+18 I got into a fight with a client because he was an Obama lover. He told me Trump should take notes from Obama and I told him to "zip up Obama's pants". kjwsjhdeoweioefnqeibqo
+18 What do you think started the everything is racist movement? The elites shifted it from class warfare to race warfare.  They don't care about minorities, it is to get everyone to get off their lawn cprnyc
+18 I actually really prefer WFH, here I get my gf to cook me meals all the time, have a phenomenal coffee machine and can work in my sweats and a tank top. What kind of boot-licking cuck actually wants to go back in? Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+18 You've gotten into a number of top schools dude, don't sell yourself short. Blank999
+18 That sounds about standard for STEM graduates of top tier CS schools (MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, CMU), or Ivy League level schools. Lower ranked schools' graduates might get the same salary/bonus but less stock. kerny

+18 thanks for clarifying. plenty of websites to get a sense of what is going on, and people may try to say "why" things are going on, but they're probably trying to sell an idea/strategy. thebrofessor
+18 Note that this is all just from my experiences in banking, and is largely from an M&A context. SlipperyWhenDry
+18 username checks out Intern in IB - Gen
+18 Mid 30s here and here's the long (apologies) spiel. Where did I think I'd be by now, when I was in my 20s? Married, some kids, and a job doing "something in business" (whatever that means) in NYC. Jamoldo
+18 Home is where the heart is at Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+18 Found the UBS/DB analyst. Can you please show the mentioned league tables? And can you substantiate and elaborate on the the claim that "Recently, the sentiment on the buyside towards CS changed"? Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+18 Haha yeah feed me MS you libshits Intern in IB - Cov
+18 Unless you are trolling, you sound like a psychopathic jackass. And you wonder why no one wants to work for you. Hilarious. dsch
+18 Stern is a hardo factory that takes in a bunch of mouth breathing 18 year old kids who didnt get into HYP but are dead set into IB willing to backstab anyone they need to get there Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+18 Just another junior analyst at the firm confirming this is all true. Investment banking in general (no matter the bank) will continue to remain broken until the incentive structure is changed at the senior level. Works at UBS AG

+18 First time online?? CanadianERspunkymonkey
+18 There's nothing wrong with the core idea of feminism, that women should be respected, treated as equals, and be afforded the same opportunities as men. That just sounds like basic human decency to me. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+18 - Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+18 For context, both me and my sibling went to HYP with no legacy/sports and are asian males so no affirmative action. Went to a good day school not in NYC but in the tri state area so feel like I have decent perspective. Prospect in Consulting
+18 $260K in loans would be a huge mistake. That's almost a $3k/month payment assuming he pays it off over 10 years. That type of debt can cripple optionality if he doesn't want to stay on the IB->PE path for years. MMBanker14
+18 I just spent an hour changing font and formatting on a model because the director, who last week liked the model, now saw a different one and wants it to look similar. So yeah not quite “God’s work”. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+18 You can’t go around accusing others of “derangement syndrome” when your username is literally Drumpfy… eyeborg

+18 I voted in this election and I am from Fairfax county. I am not into politics but this was a pretty important election. VP in RE - Comm
+18 I don’t believe this for a second. They can’t use a background check to pull up your ACT score/ it’s not public information and rounding a gpa to the nearest tenth is pretty standard. Something else happened. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+18 I've actually been through this, getting yelled at for doing and saying the wrong thing as a junior trader. mswoonc
+18 Waited all week to answer this question. Sit back and grab a cold one, because this won't be short. Kassad

+18 Just a few thoughts, not saying diversity programs are necessarily right or wrong, but that there’s more to consider: MarthaStewartsAFelon
+18 It all comes down to different factors. How bad do you want it - sure. But also you have execution risk. You need to understand your basis (price per SF or Unit) and you may say, I don’t like this basis based on comps. pudding
+18 Moved on and picked up smoking to quit my Juul habit Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov

+18 life is all about your network and not making people think you are an idiot. Brosef Stalin17
+18 JPM is probably most well rounded in everything. For the most part, it's just American banks at the top of everything now. koalamacro
+18 Better than raising simps Heamac
+18 you have made a significant mistake asking how to "hedge" your long call. The time to hedge was when you first bought the call....at much higher prices. ironnchef
