+17 I mean if I knew about these I would throw your resume in the trash. IncomingIBDreject
+17 While we're in agreement that a more moderate Republican is needed, not too sure that Youngkin would be a good choice. I think a 2028 run or a 2024 VP position would be far more likely for him. Stonks1990

+17 Yup, just more affirmative action Richard.5
+17 If you're sell-side, maybe yes. But on the buy-side things are different. For instance, just to give you an example, I'll take Howard Marks's thesis on risk (see below) which is one that I like. Anonymous Monkey

+17 Because when working at the office there is pressure to look busy at your desk for 10-15 hours a day when the reality is you do not need to be at your desk in a suit for 10-15 hours a day in order to complete your work. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+17 This is a real testimony from someone who was at Blackmore Partners until recently. inquisitor88
+17 With a new analyst, it’s best to be very specific with your instructions. If all you said was,  “Put these comps in Excel,” then the analyst is going to do just that. aspiringcoolperson

+17 Hi, ConsultingPrimate
+17 Depends on what you are looking for — MF exits: Probably not. Other than a couple of groups, you won't see MF exits from Jefferies. Intern in IB-M&A
+17 I used to agree with you, but with this COVID stuff, it's honestly starting to factor into my calculus a lot more into my decision on where to settle (I'm a remote worker, so I can pretty much live in any US city). Lester Freamon

+17 Again wasn't FSG but think summer associates were pretty stuck up, current analyst class not so great so poor PE exits spooked a lot of SAs and culture was apparently very cliquey. Intern in IB-M&A
+17 Life is hard. No way around it. What I find that is helpful to me when times are tough is to try to simplify my life and be more conscious about my thoughts and just take it day by day. Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+17 I thought that's what Tinder & Bumble are for _snowflake
+17 No. I actually agree with his “POV” if you can call it that. My problem is that he has nearly a thousand comments incessantly coping about tech. This is not a tech forum. Works at D.E. Shaw
