+24 Hey man. This is dope to read. APAE
+24 I think the initial “2 weeks to slow the spread” plan was well-founded. There was a real risk of hospitals, especially in dense areas, being overrun and causing a general collapse in the healthcare system. TryTheDip

+24 yes you will have many opps in chicago Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+24 Early months on the job are going to be the toughest. Not only because of the hours, but also because you likely won't be at your best (mentally, physically, etc). It gets better when you get over that hump though. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+24 The joke was that I'll be even worse but I digress. Everybody, heed Analyst 1 - Cov.'s supreme humor judgement, for I have committed an act of "super cringe" proportions. Prospect in IB - Cov

+24 There are too many variables for this to be realistic (and for the bank to stay competitive) for at least another lifetime. Source: my ass, but that was your source as well. momnpopshop

+24 Full time analyst at a BB and I e seen firsthand how fucked up diversity recruiting is. Intern in IB - Gen
+24 So uhh not that I have any specific opinion about Ackman or Einhorn but hedge funds are not really supposed to be benchmarked to the SP500... DeepLearning
+24 This is a fucked situation. But I imagine having a VP to pull for you would help a lot. I would just keep fucking her for the sake of your career. wallstreetcat
+24 Christ, fella, I wouldn't want you in my foxhole...  You're extrapolating your perception of possible rate hikes to the extent that you've convinced yourself you've wasted 4 years of your life and will have to give up CharlesCheese
+24 False. If you're working a very high paying job directly out of school (banking) and have the opportunity to live with your parents for your analyst years, absolutely do this. iggs99988
+24 Are you tryna say you are so fucking hot that the partners want to bang you rn after seeing your LinkedIn profile? excellente

+24 A few things: Anonymous Monkey
+24 stay toxic boys. chumpchimp
+24 Great post OP. Speaking myself as a 32yr old PE senior associate (shortly to become a VP) the loss of interest/burnout at the mid-level ranks is 100% real. falconeagle
+24 My one call two weeks before the binding bid to the Blackstone partner who I've known for 15 years where I hint to them that unless they gets their act together and posts something meaningful, they will be on the outside l Managing Director in IB-M&A
+24 Wow gen Z has gone soft Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+24 Absolutely stop sending money to your siblings or friends, or parents, or anyone, right now. $100 when you go home for Christmas, absolutely. But any portion of your regular paycheck is ludicrous. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+24 I’m responsible for some of the MS you’re getting (take that statement how you will) because several of your comments are outright irritating and arrogant. IncomingIBDreject
+24 Thnx for feedback incoming analyst. But tbh my bank is "worse" than WF/RJ but could not care less. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+24 ivy league grad here, my own alumni wouldn't respond so i wouldn't take it personally Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+24 Because 90% of the population doesn't know what an investment banker is or what they do. 95% don't know what private equity is. Shockattack11

+24 As someone who actually works in a tech-adjacent industry, 400k is not the “minimum” for FAANG SWE positions, it’s typically the career maximum (600k is usually the hard ceiling). Works at Jane Street

+24 Army -> MBA ->IB/MBB and it will get your life back on track buddy Pan European Monkey
+24 From what I’ve heard CS FSG is very old-school discriminatory. Like denied entry at the club because “the club doesn’t allow shorts” type of shit but you know what they actually mean. Analyst 1 in ER
+24 Because no one thinks Guggenheim has a better reputation than Perella runNYC11
+24 As much as this is giving off a lot of suspicious "incel posing as a woman" vibes... Ozymandia

+24 This post has some merit, but a transaction process needs materials. Clients needs something to present with, underwriters need something to work off, bankers need something to win a mandate with. Blank999

+24 You fucking retarded American mutt, who said anything about buying a jacket? bottombucketMD
+24 I think there' a few reasons. For one, I think it's kind of a well kept secret. I don't think your average banker, accountant, or consultant has any idea how mind-boggling the compensation can be. Trader in S&T - Comm
+24 No idea how anyone on this website has such shitty financial planning skills lol oh lol i don't contribute to 401k, think it is a waste in opportunity costs. Intern in IB-M&A
+24 Bro you're not gonna get pussy. Shrek2OnDVD
+24 Current intern at a top BB (think GS/JP/MS/RBC) and from a top target (H/Y/P/Kelley). The IBW. at Kelley sends around 600 kids each year into BB/EB while stanford might send one diversity. Go Kelley for sure Intern in IB - Cov

+24 congrats on the success, let's get into #'s: you've netted 960k pretax, it you get LTCG treatment I'm guessing you'll have to pay a combined tax rate between 23.8% and 37% if you live in CA, so your net net will be more li thebrofessor
+24 Patagucci vests returning, nature is healing Intern in IB-M&A
+24 Not sure what you mean to imply...but ok. Asking “What is the point of hard work”, while you accumulated a nice nest egg of $2.5 million, seems.. a bit ridiculous imo. Associate 1 in ER
+24 This was my experience....When I was a first-year associate, I divided up the work with the analysts because that felt like the fair thing to do. hominem
