+11 Unfortunately he lost the primary, but boy did he win. This election showed the absolute primacy that a foreign nation has over U.S. seekinthealpha1
+11 If you are also an intern in his group, you’ve already lost one of the potential openings to him. Good luck! Associate Director in IB - Cov

+11 Nobody “tracked” jack fucking squat lmao. Intern in IB - Restr

+11 limited gag reflex Trippy Taco
+11 I normally only contribute up to the point that my company matches. With a 401k or IRA you can not withdraw from the account before you're 59 1/2 without penalties and paying income tax on your withdrawals. d-_-b
+11 “Current MD at EB” son😭😭😭 absurd larpmaxx Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+11 Get the bag then bag a prettier girl Intern in S&T - Other
+11 Not sure why people are ignoring the “Greentech” element . That’s a key factor. In my opinion Nomura Greentech is by far the best option here. They were and are major players in the U.S. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+11 What the fuck! Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+11 This is a lot. First, I understand where you're coming from. You just completed your first year/rising sophomore (most pretensious bs ever...) and you're feelling the pressures of the real world creeping in. John Pierpont
+11 Northwestern by far. You’re gonna get a lot of Michigan students glazing in this thread but a private t10 school is always better than a top state school Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+11 This is wildly inaccurate, and the fact that this has gotten as many upvotes makes me question the credibility of WSO as prospective monkeys will think this is right. Associate 2 in PE - Other

+11 "some shitty sales job" isn't worth celebrating? fuck off dude Pussy galore

+11 Congrats on Mendoza! He went to Haas btw, you couldn’t catch him dead at your shitty b-school rooseveltfan
+11 Someone needs to audit the IBs books and look at who deciding on bonus structures MDs in the “in” crowd enriching themselves Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+11 Yes agree on that. Also way too sweaty for level of exits / pay, not worth it. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+11 I am talking about M&A deals or maybe lead ECM roles where you contribute to the S-1. FIG just does the same internal credit memos as "deals" that they only win because of balance sheet and a strong LevFin franchise. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+11 📉📉📉📉 Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+11 Do Mormonism instead. You get a blonde wife (or two, or three), can ski that sweet Utah pow, and if you’re lucky, your own planet after you die  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+11 You like to lay pipe.  PeRmAnEnTiNtErN
+11 As said many times here, the SMs worth working at (again, if you truly want to spend a career writing previews and doing checks for 4 positions) are the ones you haven’t heard of/are not commonly spoken about. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge

+11 In this day and age, being employed is enough reason to be grateful Analyst 1 in PE - Other

+11 I'm not sure why this 6yr old thread is being brought up again, but since I work in energy and am interested in infrastructure broadly, I'll opine and offer a different take. wolf_at_the_door
+11 Not me personally but have seen this transition (sm analyst to mm pm) happen many times with success. As you probably know, the main issue is whether your process can survive what are usually much tighter risk parameters. Acidophilus
+11 Thanks Intern in IB charleshlewis
+11 I'm really glad there are 4 ranking threads on the front page of the IB forum today - I almost fell out of the loop on this week's standings Manager in CorpStrat

+11 I think a theory that partially explains the rising interest is that most of these interested people are undergrads, and their goal is to break into RX IB / PE, and they see RX consulting as an avenue to do that. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+11 Salaries in the USA are higher than anywhere in Europe, and also for pretty much every type of job. As has been rightfully pointed out before, this is largely due to the benefits we Europeans get. Chaesss
+11 IB salaries all seem a bit low by £5-10k even assuming these are for A1. EB would be £70-80k / BB £65-70k. For boutique & MM depends how you consider firms but sector specialists can go up to £70k+ base. Intern in PE - LBOs
+11 I have interviewed (and hired) many, many people from top 25 MBA programs and the major real estate master’s programs. MultifamilyGuy
