Hi All, I recently interviewed with a Toronto based REPE shop which I really like as a long term fit, the people along with the mandate are great. 2.5 weeks ago I met with a senior partner who interviewed me without my resume, and the discussion was very casual.

those of you who didn't get a return offer after S&T SA, where did you go?
Hey Monkeys. Seeing as this year's S&T SA return rates will probably be abysmally low (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) and FT recruiting most probably a total bloodbath everywhere, I'd like to ask: For those of you who didn't get a return offer/didn't want to return to the bank you summered...
WHERE DO SA 2021 STAND?!?! WHERE DO I FIND THE TRUTH?
I network and I hear different things. I come to WSO to find the truth and hear different things. What is the truth behind SA 2021? Is it happening or is it pushed back? IS IT ALREADY OVER?

May seem like a basic question, but still confused. Let's say PPE is written down by 100. EBIT will decrease by 100, and after tax effect is -60 on NI. Once we move to cash flow statement, we add back the 100, and we have a net change of +40 cash. But let's just stop and think about it. Does a PPE...
