+20 Tldr is this is a matured industry. What finance was in the 80's is what Tech was in the 2010's and will be what whatever else is the next big wave in 10-20 years. Gold-ManSacks

+20 Thoughtful comments. I will just offer rational counterfactuals to this without judging your comments in a negative way (which I am not doing).  Investment Analyst in HF - Event
+20 IU Kelley over any of the schools in A tier (excluding UVA) is laughable. I do/did not go to any of those schools for context.  Incoming Analyst in IB - Gen

+20 Cdn going to big 5 will be harder than American going to BB. But cdn going to US will be much harder than cdn going to big 5. Maybe this is a better way to put it. Intern in IB-M&A

+20 Hedge fund models are quite different from P/E models. In P/E, you have granularity because you have access to opco as the buyer. In the HF space, that would be MNPI. Fill-or-kill

+20 Who is “we”? Who is “us”? “You” are still in college Amazon Prime
+20 A lot of it seems to be engagement bait and 2-3 people posting the same things repeatedly. Check any comment on the most recent unionization post. Intern in IB - Gen
+20 You might not be an intern but this guy heavily biased from something personal that happened, jealously, or something like that. VP in PE - LBOs
+20 I would take GS/MS over an EB any day. The PE exits are comparable, but the exits to any role outside of PE are far superior. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+20 Why are you putting energy into this shit. 😭 Intern in IB-M&A
+20 Hey, I went back and re-read your earlier posts, and there has been some good advice as well as some generic bullshit like "keep you head up" or "keep trying", but I will try my best to provide a different perspective. IB Dropout
+20 No - you have less time, are likely in worse physical shape, and your self confidence is being attacked on a daily basis by insecure balding VPs and partners. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+20 I once gave an intern a full time offer on the spot because he made a limerick mocking one of the MDs on my team with brutal hilarity. That was very circumstantial though and perhaps not a widely recommended approach. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+20 yeah if you don't care about "prestige" or exiting to MF PE, we're chillin over here at Wells. My MD is so chill.  Works at Wells Fargo and Company

+20 I started my IB career 100% convinced that I would jump to PE as soon as possible, since everybody else seemingly talked about PE being the "holy land". EBITDope
+20 What's the goal? Speaking to your comment on LOs, a long career at an LO is likely still a path to HSD/LDD $M net worth by the time you retire. Dominic Toretto
+20 Not a good year and it keeps declining. Q1 league tables have it down like 40% this year relative to last year, even APAC, our usual bright spot, is struggling  Prospect in IB - Cov
+20 Oh god there's so much to choose from. Esuric
+20 Whatever you do, do not join a small fund ( $1bn AUM) early in your career ( 30 years old). This is terrible myth that somehow perpetuates itself on WSO like it's a decent option. It's not. Research Analyst in HF - RelVal
+20 I’d pick a different career path, you are just way too late to start networking now. Most kids start networking freshman year in high school nowadays. clinicallydepressed
+20 Look I’m happy to give thoughts but there is a base level of effort I’d expect you to put in first. These funds aren’t really “smaller,” are located all over the place, and have wildly different strategies. flipcup

+20 I hope they all get fired. This was so incredibly cringe. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+20 its the keeping up jones attitude. IB, traditionally, is for people who went to K-12 private, then expensive private school. Rolex, caviar, etc. From that elitest perspective, Texas is a laggard. monkey_money_000
+20 UBS analysts working hard for promises of deals that don’t exist or will not involve UBS. UBS analysts working for exits that won’t exist and  hoping to work for firms that won’t hire UBS analysts anymore. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
