Highest Ranked Comments In The Last Week

+6 I don't know enough about the MSRE to fully answer, but I'd recommend just trying to get as many reps in as possible that you can show on your resume. jarstar1
+6 Found the incoming EVR SA Intern in IB-M&A
+6 Yeah sure, I've found that MMs, such as Moelis, are usually filled with sub 5'8 unattractive NPCs. HighCaliberTalent
+6 Wtf is going on here. There is no debate, Wharton is better across the board. Placement, network, name recognition, even experience. Associate 2 in PE - Other
+6 Agreed. A lot more pressure for female bankers so hard to blame her. pavementroad
+6 Interesting I felt the exact opposite as my father worked ~60-70 hours a week throughout my chilldhood. I wish I saw him a lot more. Barely saw him during the week. Business School in CorpStrat
+6 Retarded to go to equinox for networking purposes. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+6 Region checks out Intern in IB-M&A
+6 Probably got the jab as well. crash bandicoot
+6 Couple different things about this. I think for one, since it's such a niche vertical, people come here to ask questions since things arent as straight forward as TMT or other sectors. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+6 2 deaths in a month. With the number of employees at each firm across the street and the ridiculous hours worked per week, this makes me wonder what the real number of casualties is across the sector Intern in PE - Growth
+6 I think highly of Princeton — but I have to admit: Stanford is the best university in the world. Yes, Stanford is better than Harvard. And slightly better than MIT because it’s so well rounded. JMac27
+6 Who do you think is going to write the code to automate this stuff? Writing code to automate this isn’t a one time thing where you write the code and the algo now captures 100% of the market mispricings. Damian-Lewis
+6 Unless you have an offer in hand and it's your only option, I wouldn't think about this in terms of "can I get my foot in the door other places"... Associate 2 in VC
+5 Shut up Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 GS has marginally stronger name but the analyst quality going to RBC these days is second to none (think LowCaliberTalent/HighCaliberTalent). monkey0114
+5 Yes, IB is a risk averse profession. But, I would caution you about your view of how things work in other areas. Executive Director in IB - Cov
+5 We got bored with Deloitte JulianRobertson
+5 I work at a bank similar to the ones you mentioned that try to retain talent, and I see it somewhat differently. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+5 Fr these stupid motherfuckers clearly live in their own bubble…blue collar workers also assume risk when striking because they live paycheck to paycheck and it would realistically take weeks to find a new job.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+5 Yes. Hated analyst and associate years but after that’s it’s the dream life. Make 6m just to boss around the juniors and do a couple interviews and anwser some emails. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+5 Total comp so yes vested stock. patrick_bateman_
+5 No, you just don't start running construction or development deals on your own out of school unless it's your family business.  Construction takes years of on the job learning.  If you have the connections, you work for a calculatedrisk
+5 I work in a product group that interacts with this team regularly. Overall very solid. Pros Associate 2 in IB - Gen
+5 I'll take a stab. Technically yes maybe? mtnmaster1
+5 Touching grass 301. Just focus on getting into the best college you can. Nobody in IB is going to ask or care what classes you took in HS.  Intern in HF - EquityHedge
+5 I interviewed for an experienced role with Vista and ultimately declined it. My career has gone very well regardless, but I do regret turning it down.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 Very obvious why it isnt. At LO (thinking typical 40 act LO with no performance fees), your comp is more so tied to flows and multi-year performance periods and/or relative to peer group AFAIK in a lot of cases. Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+5 Would recommend revisiting acquisitions and going to networking events after work on your own or with a junior on your team. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+5 Going to be intentionally vague here. I was at a BB that no longer has a Houston presence. You can guess which one. Because of that, I had to move to NYC for another opportunity. I'm looking to lateral back down to Texas. Analyst 2 in IA
+5 Former Vista analyst here and this isn't completely off. T0matoBasil
+5 Based on my cohort, he’s how things play out: VP in PE - Growth
+5 You're paid on alpha (not beta, as you said) in both nowadays. SM CIOs have gotten way more on top of attribution since 22'. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+5 You don’t need to do this dickey fuller stuff tbh, you don’t need to prove divergence or anything, just that one stock will outperform the other. Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+5 wsa007 m_1
+5 Because BBs have the biggest diversity programmes and girls won't get in otherwise LowCaliberTalent
+5 Looks good. Similar situation here. My base is 70k and my net salary after tax and loans is 3.8k I will be paying 1.2k pcm for rent and flat sharing with other 2 people. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 Assuming you're asking about exits post-analyst role at Insight... if what you want is buyout, you'll have no transferrable skills (all you learn is sourcing). Associate 2 in VC
+5 More junior than what you asked for, but for a check ask them about their thoughts on the market today and a deal or two they worked on. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+5 The guy is a moron for trying to grab more title based off an email and title that an investment bank used at a conference, and why would noted securities fraudster Shrkeli have any sort of relevant incremental information Investment Analyst in HF - Other
+5 Renaissance Medallion Fund — rip to the legend  Analyst 3+ in HF - Other
+5 If you're doing 2 and out ASO years, or 2 then bschool then leave, fit doesn't matter, just go to the best name possible and get rocked for two years. If you're doing a potentially career track role, fit is everything. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 Kelly @ IU Bloomington should definitely be on your list as well -- seemingly a ton of resources to get into high finance. dnzoa I
+5 Buddy this shit exists to ask questions. Hence why I’m asking a question. Frosture
+5 Brokers that were found in their eyes guilty of fraud got a letter or call or something telling them they couldn't touch Agency loans anymore; other brokered business from other brokerages had to go through certain protoco capexprss
+5 I'd recommend taking a look at more macro figures/environment - look at inflation/CPI for the specific region you are targeting; is the brand discretionary or non-discretionary, perhaps a comps analysis with similar brands Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+5 This is an impossibly difficult task to do well unless you have a lot of experience and generally are familiar with similar business models …. Or the CIM is only 20 pages long. CompBanker
+5 For context I got a 1590. The math section of the SAT is unbelievably easy, inexcusable you should get anything less than an 800. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+5 Started as an investment analyst at a top global developer (Hines / Greystar). Would recommend starting at a similar place to people entering the industry. VP in PE - Other
+5 Depending on their role and level within the large company they may have one or more of the "edges" I mentioned earlier. Determined
+5 Bump. BofA seriously trying to catch up with Boeing here jharzell
+5 Nah, fuck all that.  I was a director and I absolutely unplugged a bit. 1) The birth is not a surprise (and people are very aware for females) Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+5 I mean you can find plenty on here, although people ascribe it to the nature of tech EBs and not San Francisco. Do a search for Ducera for example. Analyst 2 in IA
+5 That’s interesting to hear — I’ve heard anecdotally that recruiting has gotten better vs back when I was a student. RR63
+5 The only thing I'd disagree with is your paragraph below "Preparation ahead of your internship". RR63
+5 Imo go for the best fund possible. big goals = worthwhile targets that keep you passionate and working hard through rejection. If you nail it in on cycle, you win. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+5 Why do you even want to do this if you’re already a VP in a HF? Works at Other
+5 I have a similar situation with slightly different circumstances. GregLippmann
+5 I had to make a very similar choice not long ago. I chose T1 asset management for the following reasons: Analyst 1 in AM - FI
+5 This industry is so broken lmao. Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+5 Hey C! Would appreciate if you can give a rough idea of comp for Assoc and Senior Assoc level. To your question... Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+5 It’s quite specific so I don’t want to say more than the below cuz I don’t want to giveaway my identity. Works at Other
+5 Drink a beer buddy anonxyz123
+5 Terrible take. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+5 Only 3s you’ll be shooting are 3am nights GorillaBanker
+4 Recommend reading the company transcripts of earnings calls, can find on the website. Should give you context around the business. Also look for historical patterns, but forecasting is more of an art than science. Rags to Hermes
+4 I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Jim & working with him occasionally during my 10+ year (& counting) career at Goldman Sachs.  Years ago, he left the impression of showing sheer professionalism, calm demeanor Partner in IB-M&A
+4 Lmao don’t trust the dude who says he’s an MD. It’s probably a fellow intern who wants to up his return offer chances. Intern in PE - LBOs
+4 Recommend sticking out S&T until a better opportunity comes your way. Depends what desk/role you are in S&T, but I'd imagine you could find something that is more suited towards what you are ideally looking for plmonkey
+4 Interview one: lube up Interview two: bend over Interview three: morning after pill Associate 3 in AM - Other
+4 how do you fuck up this bad in a semester. If you applied 3.7, then you got a sub 1.5 gpa. monkeynke
+4 I worked at a HF (20B AUM) doing L/S TMT, my dad had his own fund (much smaller, generalist), and I know many friends who are in the industry. idiotsavant
+4 I get where a lot of you are coming from, but the reality of child birth is it's very boring. I mean think about it... margin_calls
+4 Think of Cap rates as an inverse Multiple- the multiple being the quantities of the respective NOI/earnings one is paying for that income stream. a-basic-name
+4 There’s a handful of reasons why some founders are picked and others aren’t, assuming you’re asking about pre-product, pre-revenue. canttakeitwithyou
+4 I'd say keep your head up and keep trying. I understand you're at a target school, but submitting 60 applications isn't much in the grand scheme of things. Intern in PE - Other
+4 The reason for IB being such a bad environment overall is that no one wants to stay. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+4 I read this makings of a multi-bagger just now and to be clear his unpaid interns did it and it certainly reads that way. It's kind of cool, but to be clear I do think he only raised money because of his parents. BobbybananamA
+4 Curious why you find it tone deaf. I think a bunch of young wall streeters leading a workers rebellion while simultaneously trying to become the next Henry Kravis is pretty tone deaf. Dr. Rahma Dikhinmahas
+4 title: PJT RSSG Analyst height: 6'1 unleveraged height: 5'9 Intern in IB-M&A
+4 How much MONEY have you spent on FOOD in your entire lifetime? How much MONEY have you spent getting HAIRCUTS in your entire lifetime? How much money have you spent on EVENT TICKETS in your entire lifetime? Bigmonkey1234567
+4 We've received reports from some of the national appraisal shops indicating in this case that the PGI = the EGI = the NOI. So, they apply the cap rate directly to that. DisgruntledAppraiser
+4 It depends on your personality. I know guys who work in development that are incredibly talented and entrepreneurial, who are already doing there own deals. RE Dawg
+4 Yes lbo2_1
+4 the answers in this thread are from bankers. vast majority of them got into banking from traditional path from college or MBA internships converted into full-time. Kevin25
+4 1. you don't need to be very smart to get into banking. what you need is to learn about banking, banking recruiting process, and banking interviews and how to prepare for them when you're 18. Kevin25
+4 Literally nothing. LBOtter
+4 Oh, I’m sorry. Thanks for the feedback so I don’t offend other anonymous dorks on the internet in the future maple sizzurp

+4 Quick access toolbar Use ppt for a few days, only using the mouse and make note of the things that are taking forever to select in the ribbon. PapaHemingway
+4 This cannot be overstated and is great advice. Pepper Jack
+4 Every Spring, this conversation seems to resurface. www50
+4 I don't really agree that non-MD/PhD folks do much better on average. You can probably gauge this by surveying the backgrounds of the principals whom have launched new therapeutics-focused HF's in recent years. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+4 Great topic. I was a first year associate who was on a team where Associates would speak 10-20% of the time, unless I was explicitly leading the meeting. Associate 3 in PE - LBOs
+4 What bottles did you get? Any you liked or didn't like?  Addinator

+4 Congrats on Truist Associate 2 in IB - CB
