+21 This would never work, it’s a prisoners dilemma situation with hundreds of people to replace your seat. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+21 EV stays the same. $100,000 cash causes Equity value to increase by 100k but is offset by subtracting 100k cash or the decrease in net debt, so there is no change to EV. AnUndergraduateStudent
+21 These comments are asinine. Let’s look at MLP. They are 60bn so in a good year to net 10% returns they will make around 10-12bn of PnL. They have 300 teams. PM in HF - RelVal
+21 Meh. I enjoyed my time there. VP in HF - Event

+21 Landing on the moon vs. not having air conditioning. I’m picking red white & blue all day baby. VP in PE - LBOs
+21 I'm not a banker but I think it's dumb to date someone super career focused. I don't have many friends with a very successful marriage where both people in the relationship work a ton. m_1

+21 "I met person X at this event and really hit it off with them. They introduced me to person Y a week later and I couldn't believe how much we had in common. We both lived in Z dorm and played for the same team! CisSiberianOrchestra
+21 Yes, I completely agree with you that it was an operations 101 failure. I think the bank as a whole will restructure, and every group except the top 3 groups candidly is going to see a ton of layoffs. Senior VP in CorpDev
+21 Liberals are the biggest racists. What, blacks and latinos are too retarded to get into IB without cheatcodes so we have to design special programs for them to get in? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+21 Once you're at that level, there's a good chance you're getting salary + large bonus + meaningful carry. How these mix and shake out can vary drastically by the type of place you're at.  VP in RE - Comm
