+15 The parents said it's a "son". No need for he/she and your political correctness rubbish..... goddamn millennials... Odds
+15 In Mexico it may be different because there the cartels are basically the government but at least where I am from, cartel people and cartel businesses are shunned by the, let's call them, the 'upper-upper-class'. Associate 1 in CorpFin

+15 The only person UBS M&T/M&A/FIG can hire is internationals for a reason. No American above analyst level wants to join after meeting the people in those groups. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+15 If working conditions are bad enough that any Americans leave, in a free market they would either have to a) make working conditions better or b) pay more.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+15 It’s an abuse of the American system, should not be legal, and companies who do this should be punished.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+15 Congratulations on all 3 offers - you have a bright future ahead of you. I interact with people from all of these.  Trader in HF - RelVal
+15 Fully agree this is all you should do. The acceptance speech posts are so cringey. ProFormaEBITDA
+15 I'm not sure how recruiting works, but my understanding is that it's a lot harder for someone with my demographic to get an offer when cold applying. SmallFriendlyGiant
+15 I know im missing the point but did that company hold a lot of cash on their BS? helvetica.bold
+15 Tier 1: CVP/EVR/PJT Tier 2: MOE/LAZ/PWP This is the only right answer you retarded interns. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+15 Finance high school teacher FutureBankTeller
+15 Stanford full-stop. Both Stanford and UVA are excellent schools, but unless you feel very strongly that you would enjoy the social experience at UVA substantially more, then you should go to Stanford. Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+15 Eh both mid (I’d kill for either offer)  Intern in Acct - Tax
+15 Puro Pinche opportunities bro Prospect in S&T - Equities
+15 B+ concept. Maybe a little too broad - myopically chasing "prestige" could be applied to something narrower  ShooterMcGavin11

+15 The key is you have to get dopamine from other activites, whether lifting PR, weight loss goal, promotion goal/project goal.  Drugs and drinking are fun, but not as much fun as competing and succeeding at life.… C.R.E. Shervin
+15 This war has already dragged on far longer than anyone expected. phillyboy
+15 Pound for pound I find Dartmouth’s placement to be extraordinary -I worked for a MF that recruited from there so my perspective is definitely skewed. TheGrind

+15 so when are you signing up to fight, buddy? ultra_user
+15 Get rocked nerd Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+15 Carlyle. In last two years they have 1) reduced headcount considerably, 2) completely exited Consumer, 3) Missed fundraising targets due to poor performance, 4) Had partners leave. DBisntaBB
+15 MD asks me how I would handle conflicting priorities, like getting different instructions from associate, VP, and him. I say in a trailing off kind of voice, "well you're the highest ranking...". LongandShortofit
+15 This is just incorrect.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+15 ~500m created a hedge fund. Both parents grew up with broken families and actually incurred debt/ had to support their families.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+15 There are a lot of factors at play.  On average, women have higher agreeableness than men so they gravitate towards careers where that quality is a plus (not hedge funds). VP in PE - LBOs
+15 Because the incentives in the industry have turned the process into this fake clown charade. 1. IC enforces rules like “must be 3x” etc.  Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+15 Many of the commenters bring up valid points. I'll add my 2c to look at it a little differently. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+15 always glad to see quality content making it onto these boards Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+15 It's all relative. T_Dog
+15 I don’t get why so much MS here. IB isn’t intellectually challenging at all, and no, most entry-level jobs aren’t this dull. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+15 Yes lets compare the composition of a random ass T15 mba IB club (kinda embarrassing tbh that you didn’t make it to m7 lmao - major skill issue) with actual firm compositions across wallstreet. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+15 How do you get an initial offer? I like this kid How do you get top bucket? I like him more How do you get a promotion over someone else? I like this person over this person Intern in IB - Gen
+15 Thanks, ChatGPT, very cool!  caploks12
+15 No dude you're retarded. My opinion isn't informed by cable news or social media news. JulianRobertson
+15 sounds like an internship opportunity to me if you play it right Mike_wacczowski76
+15 Nah, just a loser. Tell your boy not to dedicate the best years of his life to something almost everyone flames out of (speaking from experience) Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+15 I’ll talk from the perspective of someone who chose MMPE over top IB->whatever PE after out of UG. FellySmart
+15 At least in banking you has some kind of camaraderie. In PE you just slave away in an empty office with your autistic principal that cannot hold a regular conversation for more than two minutes Analyst 3+ in PE - Other

+15 Not reading the whole thread but as an older WSO member, I would highly advise you find something you truly enjoy that pays well vs. just pushing on for top dollars. rickle
+15 neither the tixis  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+15 Well, it really depends on what you're looking for in traditional pants. bawstin
+15 You only give up once you stop trying. Believe it or not there are a bunch of ex Wall Street people in corporate who are now business unit CEOs or leading corp dev teams or serving as CFOs. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+15 You should focus on finding a new job, whether that be in banking or not as it is clear you hate your job. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+15 Definitely thought this kid went to IU Kelley until he described it as a non-target, which no one who went to Kelley would do. Stay.Hungry
+15 Went to WashU and was in WUIB, then went to banking in Houston for what that may be worth. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+15 Hey OP, I was in a similar mood after accepting my offer, low EB (Gugg/Ghl) for RX, but now I am over it and hopefully, I can help.  Let's break down what you could be worried about: Intern in IB - Gen
+15 bro that’s 14 cents pl4tinumdanger21
+15 What’s stopping analysts from having a bunch of lawsuits? Banks will settle 100% of the time.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+15 heard one of P&T's assistants exited to blue man group a few cycles a go comp is mid but you get to throw paint at the audience ILOVEBANANAS123
+15 With proper documentation, you can make lots of $$$ of settlement if they fire you for trying to form a union or forming a union. If you don’t plan on staying beyond 2 years, there’s no downside. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+15 Where there’s smoke theres fire, but they might change their minds because of the backlash they received Associate 2 in IB - Gen

+15 You owe it to yourself. Your loved ones will be watching over you. Make them proud KageSelly
+15 Yes only the “eternally privileged” say something they later regret. Everyone who isn’t a straight white male would never get into an argument with someone and verbally overreact. PeterMBA2018
+15 UBS is known for having a leading LevFin franchise for the single-B / sponsor backed companies of the world, neither of which apply to a corporate to corporate media mega merger (also the coverage which UBS is probably the Intern in IB - Gen
+15 Inside the Yield Book: Industry staple that doesn't get mentioned much on here. Conceptual. HY Debt, Bagaria '15: relatively shorter, gives a good overview of different credit markets. TheDarkLordBigChungus
+15 Was at GS classics / coverage (not TMT/Industrials). I seriously doubt anyone truly averages 100 hours/week over a year. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+15 The first day of of my internship the MD on the team handed me $30 and told me to run down the street and buy two six packs of beer. He told me my taste in beer would directly affect the rest of my time at the bank. cabbagecorpIPO
+15 You can’t think of PE like this and make tiers like you can for banking. Different people are maximizing for different things, and there are factors that are key for a career in PE that this forum doesn’t even consider. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+15 Echoing sentiments above. @RE_Student1995 knows what's up. Pretty much paraphrasing him here but: Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+15 Won't elaborate much, but I'll just say this: started getting calls from Hollywood to replace Henry Cavill as Superman GS under Blankfein
+15 omg bro you can't be for real hopping on an alt to defend yourself is crazy DuckDude2727
+15 Some of these comments are moronic. In what world is $9B tiger cub under resourced? Because some 22 year old MM associate says so? midwest_analyst
+15 "I was only pretending to be AM" OneTimeTwoTime
+15 There's a difference between the IQ needed to do the job, and the IQ of the people that actually end up getting these jobs at the top places. Analyst 1 in PE - LBOs
+15 I have worked in SF tech banking for the last 6 years and would say this is pretty accurate. I am also looking at this from more of an M&A perspective and less equity/debt. Tier 1: - Qatalyst turbo578
+15 At 21 I had a banana and a granola bar to my name FastNotSoFurious
+15 Commenter just above me makes some good points but also seems to just not understand what the value prop of CD&R is as a $26 billion fund that it wasn’t as a kind of plucky yet pioneering corporate carve-out merchant / Works at Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R)
+15 About 6 years to director. I got lucky in a couple different ways in that I "skipped" banking and went into a deal-heavy corpdev group right out of undergrad where I got lots of exposure. cap182375
+15 You should have felt grateful that without this current visa policy, those 26-year-old European Master students with 2-year of internship experiences from MFPE, BB, EB in their countries under their belt would be flocking incoming_analyst
+15 Completely wrong, look up any reputable league table, talk to anyone in the industry, or talk to any recruiter. The answer is clearly Wells Fargo over UBS.  Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+15 creates topic to brag about comp dude if you’re smart enough to find a job with this compensation you’re smart enough to figure out what rent you can afford. Get the fuck out of here you absolute tool Investment Analyst in PE - Other
