It's no surprises the rumblings have started. Cut of bonuses. I'm hearing rumblings around the office that some people are expecting bonuses to be cut, slashed. I'd expect this for those with equity in the game and it would make sense on leasing and origination/production/exec and partner side. Are...
Hi, I'm currently a freshman at IU Kelley and I'm thinking about transfer to a better school. I think I might end up with somewhere around 3.9 -3.97 GPA at the end even though I don't have a GPA yet. My concern is that I might not be able to transfer my business credits if I transfer to a different...
I was talking to a previous intern at MS in s&t and they said they got paid 1/2 wage for their overtime hours. How is this legal and is this the industry norm?
As many are inclined to do, it is very easy to fall into wanting to chase investment banking as a career path following university. But after actually realising the value in having some of my own free time, I'm beginning interested in learning more about strategy consulting. The main thing for me...
Tons of pod shop talk (whether we are at the top or whether this is a secular change for the industry). One thing I have not seen as a potential rebuttal to the "death of the SM" talk is that the true alpha factories (Citadel and Millennium to me a cut above the rest) are not accepting outside...
Any advice or insight is appreciated :) Looking to break into REPE or IB for my last summer term. There are still some boutiques and smaller shops that are recruiting in Toronto in January.
Hey guys, Never really post but wanted some advice on which school to go to for Mfin program. I’m non-EU, targeting London or potentially Denmark for M&A as I’m leaning towards CBS right now. I know target schools get talked about all the time but not sure if I would struggle getting/passing...
Currently in a well-known but industry-specific boutique firm in the power and energy space. Are my PE exits going to be limited to only infra/power/energy PE firms. I've also heard though that because this modelling is some of the hardest it's a desirable skill to be good at and that you could go...
I have just got an offer for a very small search fund as an analyst. Would working at very small search fund provide valuable experience I can leverage to get into investment banking. It only started 2 years ago and they have only done one deal so far. I studied Finance from a non-target and just...
Hey guys, Which of those programs/business schools is the best for a MSF? Also, is it possible to get into some IB/PE firms (Preferably in Texas or California)? (Does not need to be BB or Large cap PE or so) - Transaction internships at BIG4 are existing I appreciate your insights!!
Interested to hear everyone's thoughts on the College Football Playoff. Did the committee get the rankings correct? Did Florida State deserve the #4 spot, or was Alabama the right choice? Did Georgia get snubbed?
Has anyone been seeing activity for 2025 associate opps on the Growth front? Or has it largely been dead given the environment?
Hi, I applied to JP spring week 2024 and did my hirewire interview over a month ago.. my application is still under review.. anybody knows how long it takes for JP Morgan to reply ?

You wake up and there’s a gun to your head. Your degenerate gambling habits have finally caught up with you. The man with the gun says 6 months to pay up. Your wife and family don’t know about your gambling problems and you’re too petrified to tell them what you’ve gotten involved with....
I got my first IB interview. I finished a masters in September and just got invited for 1st round interview for an internship in the REGAL group at Jefferies in London. What do I need to know?? DCF, research the firm, research industry, what else???
Just got invited for 1st round interview for the REGAL team at Jefferies in London - off cycle internship. What do I need to know? Obviously research about the firm, know how to do DCF, research the industry, what else??
I have a Zoom call today with the director at a reputable boutique to discuss their summer associate program, as well as her experience since we share the same alma mater. Should I wear a full suit, suit and no tie, or just a button down? I want to look prepared but not overdressed to make it...
Heard the bonus was announced last week. Any insight on the number and how that compares to last year?
Hey guys, I am planning to apply for Vanderbilt's MSF and I would like to know my chances. I would appreciate the help. Here are some details about my profile: Undergrad: 9.52/10 CGPA after B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering from a tier-3 state university in India. I graduated with a CGPA of...
I have been looking around for my analysts to find concise and practical materials on portfolios construction/ risk management at a platform. I haven’t really come across anything and we don’t run an academy like others do. Can anyone recommend any materials or sources?
Need an IB tutor to work with me. Struggling to understand the concepts need help greatly. Will pay for daily/weekly sessions at an accelerated pace
Hello, I am a current sophomore at IU and yesterday I received a rejection letter regarding my application to the Investment Banking Workshop. I heard that members who aren't a part of the workshop are treated like applicants from non-target schools. I wanted to gauge how hard it would be to get an...
Hey guys, just learning about the credit space and talked to a private credit analyst a few days ago. He talked about how other than one-dimensional lending, there's also some form of trading debt securities using other leverage, in a way to "LBO" debts. I was wondering if anyone knew what the exact...
Why does my landlord need my Pay Stubs to rent me the apartment? What is a proof of income?
I know this has been discussed over and over again but I just wanted some advice on what I can be doing over the next month in order to prepare for when recruiting starts. I am currently a sophomore at California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo. My school doesn’t have a that strong of...
Is it unacceptable if it's not a university (student) email—but some gmail/ymail account? How much deviation from [email protected] is acceptable
I ran my initial massive post through chat gpt and came up with this, if anyone has any suggestions or advice I would greatly appreciate it. You're a 34-year-old professional with a comprehensive background in asset management, acquisitions, and property development. Having spent 8 years at your...
Title says it all, saw a recent post about salaries at "no-name boutiques" and was curious about what MD salary would be at a well-known sector-specific boutique in the MM range. The avg fee is 1m - 3m per deal and size of deal usually ranges from 300m - 800m
Given the thinness of the walls and the thinness of the floors / ceilings of almost all US apartment buildings, noise is frequently a big issue. Have you ever had a neighbor that disrupted your sleep? And how did you handle the issue? Did the person keep on disturbing you ?
Current sophomore recruiting for 2025 SA. Been hearing more about Solomon Partners and was wondering if their relaxed culture came at a cost for potential exits? Would appreciate any insights on previous PE placements. Thanks!
I go to a semi-target for IB, think Umich (non Ross) / Boston College / Williams / UVA / NYU (non stern). I have a 3.7 GPA in a liberal arts major, but I do have relevant internships, one at a micro boutique IB and a LMM IB. To put it simply, I missed out on summer IB recruiting last year to focus...
Dear All, I am currently working at a leading US bank as an equity research associate. I've recently received an offer from IMC Trading which is just setting up their office in the country. Ultimately if I want to move into buy side roles which should i choose ? a) stick to current role and look for...
Is it just me or is even a job at the best PE funds or HFs just don’t make any sense for women? There are always women who have great family support or husbands that are understanding and encouraging. But generally why does it seem like becoming a senior woman in finance even at the best places is...
Going through WSP modeling course right now. It uses Macabacus, but I don't want to rely on something that a future employer won't use. Many of the shortcuts seem easy enough to code. In fact, if anyone has some useful shortcuts file, I could just use that too.
Hey folks, I posted this in the wrong category last time so reposting here. I’m planning to apply for deferred MBA programs in April, but wanted a honest opinion of my application. I will be aiming for H,W,S,Sloan,CBS, and Chicago. GPA: 3.8/4.0 Nationality: Canadian Work Experience: Joining Sales...

Have been in my current role as a ER analyst for 1.5 years, but looking to transition to L/S equity in the future. Current firm is channel-check focused, regional, and no banking services. Passed CFA Level I in August, taking Level II in May. Hoping to get advice from others on how they made the...
I am starting my career in credit soon and it’s obviously a halcyon period for direct lending and speciality finance. High base rates and wide spreads have led to significant inflows into the asset class. When you couple this with the secular trend of bank lending/BSL tightening, we can definitely...
I'm sure I will get hate for this, but has been on my mind. Would love to hear what the forum thinks. Who cares what Munger thinks about successful investing or his life advice if his net worth only got up to $2.6bln? Imagine working until almost 100 (!) just to have less than Paul Tudor Jones or...
