+12 I’m surprised you worked at a pod for years and are equating turnover with depth of research / horizon of thesis. Anchor
+12 Don’t know how this is a weird take. U think Ivey is as hard to get into as a us target? I’m not the one saying all the smartest Canadian kids go to the US. I’m just stating the facts from what I have seen. VP in IB - Gen
+12 This is based on my own personal experience, seeing which banks people would choose over another. morbiusthrowaway

+12 In case still relevant after all the drama ;) strghtfrwrd
+12 Damn, you’re right. Hope your week gets better!  VP in PE - LBOs
