+10 GT3 RS euwdiamond

+10 “stacked resume”😭 you’re so delusional Ferisio
+9 I know dudes who started analyst at 28-29 after an MFin or gradually lateraling after working in a different industry for 3-4 years. And one of them started in Canada - they barely have banks there. Teller in Non-profit
+9 Of course he didn't, and neither did you. It's very much an "Us vs. MfckngChimp

+9 wsomembersince09 It's not a guy. Its a she with a purple hair and bugs bunny teeth. I remember during early covid days (Feb-mar 21), she was putting irritating videos. Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
+9 A few reactions. I'm also at a place with much larger minimum fees vs. the types of banks you mentioned, so some of these might not hold true at more of a MM oriented bank.  VP in IB - Cov
+9 You’re mistaken if you think anyone over the age of 23 lurks on these forums… Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+9 3.86+ only. I hear WF ECM is taking their chances on 3.85 candidates. Prospect in IB - Gen
+9 The answer is as a junior, you don’t. You lift on the weekends and during slow periods if you care about your health. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+9 Imma explain in Fortnite terms. Moving from an F300 FP&A team to an F50 FP&A team is like trading in your grey pistol for a legendary scar— more firepower and respect in the game. Ferisio
+9 I’m literally at Analyst training right now and analysts are leaving the training room lectures to go to interviews 🤣🤣 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+9 Somehow always late to every call... Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+9 People like you are THE exact reason this industry won’t change. Always wanting to hate on someone doing better than you and not figuring out how to learn from them. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+9 Women want equality in this world and part of that means getting punched for harrasing men.  No more "wrong to hit a girl" in 2024. Gender is a construct. Associate 3 in IB - Gen

+9 My understanding is that in previous years there was more room for debate. But recently Ivey is blowing the rest of them out of the water. Queens is also up there but not with Ivey. themissingdog

+9 Yea, they placed well this year, but the same with the other three (if not better? all into top BBs, EBs, and buyside). Hence my point: they all place well. Also, many members overlap between these clubs. true_sternie
+9 No please ask questions here. It's an anonymous forum for a reason, and I assume you are an incoming intern or current intern in which instance someone else probably has the exact same question. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+9 “Also, I think I saw that like Vista analysts interview poorly or something like that some times ago, but I believe buyside interviews are pretty much just down to the indiv Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+9 I did a lot of the prep work early on and got to the point where if I had an interview coming up, I only needed to do an hour or two of refreshing. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+9 Would echo the above in terms of right tails for the most part and the larger upside events being at the pods. herzyherzy
+9 What caliber is your talent? Intern in IB-M&A
+9 Why are there multiple posts claiming the person punched is a man? She gave an interview.. I've linked it below. VP in S&T - Equities
+9 Yes, it's that bad, and probably even worse at the MBA associate level (judging by some of the summer associates I interacted with). About 50-60% of the incoming kids are DEI. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+8 This is a bit of a side rant, but... Esque_
+8 Merger arb 101: Analyst 3+ in HF - Other
+8 Pussies like you are why this once great nation is fucked. If there’s ever a war and people like you are drafted, we’re finished (that is if you don’t evade the draft as I’m sure you’d likely try to).  Analyst 1 in HF - Other
+8 Some recommendations, in no particular order (both fiction and non-fiction): Buzz_Lightyear
+8 One thing I have learnt after coming to finance is if you can talk, you can get anything. Not even kidding. Intern in AM - Equities
+8 They are 100% fucked lol. If it was as simple as buying businesses at a faster-than-lightning clip and paying ridiculous premiums to make that happen, anyone would’ve done it. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+8 I mean no attack or harm towards OP, but I genuinely think a huge chunk of WSO users should step out of their ivory towers and see how average people, who have average jobs, live their lives. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+8 Building off of Herzy's points -- You really need to get more direct client interaction, especially if you've been in the seat for 3 years. Determined
+8 fees/splits seem very aggressive for starting out with no track record.  I charge 0% acq fee, 1% asset management fee (on property EGI, not invested capital), and an 80/20 over 8% on the first deals i raised money on.  Tot Ricky Sargulesh
+8 So just to confirm, you made a sexual joke during a job interview?? Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+8 Some groups that come to mind: Outperform: Barclays PU&I, Deutsche Sponsors, UBS Sponsors/LevFin, HL RX, Citi M&A, WF REGAL Underperform: JPM Energy, MS FIG, BofA TMT, PJT M&A daflame03

+8 Finally someone said it. This makes the most sense imo. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+8 I agree and disagree with teddythebear and Multiverse. Fred Fredburger
+8 Inbox zero - I clear out my inbox at the beginning and end of every day. I probably keep about 10 important emails in my inbox at any given time, but if I have to scroll to see all my emails I have too many. Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+8 Sweeping this all under the rug when applying to your next job might be a good idea based on what you are applying to, but it isn't necessarily the right answer. VP in PE - Other
+8 If you attach your ego or standards to what job you have than you’re a miserable sack of shit. Also judging from your post history as a college student, i am confident that you get 0 pussy Analyst 1 in IB - DCM
+8 How active is your firm’s development group at the moment? What is their source of capital to do projects? Also what markets and product type are they in? CRE Mamba
