Hello all, lateral analyst (CB>IB). One of the biggest acquisitions of 2023 closed last month, and I was an analyst at one of the banks on the deal. Was reading the news and came across a headline that the buyer (our client) has laid off nearly 3000 employees from the target, and the CEO is ordering...

Hello everyone. I've gone through the wso forum extensively and while I'm quite clear on the IB > PE process and WLB/Culture/Comp/Teams for banking, there's relatively less information for Long Only AM or L/S HFs. So far I understand the main players are Balyasny, Point72, Ninetyone, Millenium,...

Randomly thought about this based on a deal that I’m on. If a middle market PE shop builds a portco to the point it can be sold to a larger PE acquirer, what happens to the corporate finance department in that business after being sold? i imagine that some acquirers would just cut the fat and...

I've already secured a summer position at a BB, so this question is more about trying to improve my methods in case I have to deal with similar situations again.

What is the current perception of Houston to NY exits (either laterals within IB or PE/HF exits) going into 2024? I know many people did well with great exits to top MF and HF in NY coming from top shops in Houston but the heyday of O&G is behind us. What are the options for FT/SA at top Houston...

Just as a warning to everyone this is sort of similar to one of those affordability in West Coast and East Cost posts. If you are curious read on, if not no problem.

Just wondering if someone can share some insight around Equity Trader comps at large AMs or LO funds. I’m thinking along lines of Cap Grp, Wellington, FMR/FIL, Amundi, RBC etc etc. HF trader comps take all the spotlight but seems not much out there for the AMs. Thinking of making move from...

Throwaway for obvious reasons but rather than going down the PE pipeline, I wanted to try my own start up (in a related field to the sector I cover). If things fail, I was wondering, any idea what my backup plan could be? Could I potentially come back to the bank on good terms? Would it still be...

Dear All, I have spoken to lots of analysts/associates at Barclays London and PE Associates who just left the firm to understand the bank's dynamics.

Pretty much title. Has anyone consistently invested in real estate while working in IB? Obviously, the high salary and bonuses would help a ton with down payments on large properties. Curious to hear if anyone is doing this and what their experience has been like and any difficulties they have...
