Analyst 2 here - just starting to model. Did you feel overwhelmed when you just started modeling ? I really do and I can’t help beating up myself, cause some things seem so logical when they’re pointed out to me, but not when I’m building it… My VP / asso are new hires and not sure they realize I did 0 modelling ever since I joined, they are expecting a fully independent A2..

Got my first pay check! Trying to understand all the taxes on it….Are state taxes on my gross amount or do the federal taxes i pay get deducted first then state taxes on that amount?

Isn't it annoying how no one ever notices all the hard work you put into your research? The countless hours you spend in the lab, library, or curled up on your couch researching—all of that dissolves into what can feel like obscurity.

Recently got an offer from KPMG. But the offer letter is in their portal with no KPMG letterhead or signatures. Next thing is there is no joining details like reporting office or whom should I report to on joining date. I have tried to contact HR via mail/ call. No response. What to do? Has anyone joined KPMG recently? How do they communicate the joining details? Please tell me

Hey guys,

Anybody willing to refer me for LEK?

Last year, I had passed the CV screening and got the invitation to take the test. However, I did not get the invitation for the interview.

Would like to apply again this time with a referral.

Hello guys. I am currently a Business analyst in the supply chain industry supporting operations. Currently graduating with my MBA this month with a GPA:3.92 and looking for entry position at the Big 4 or Big tech company and any references/referral would really be helpful.

Let's compete! What's the craziest fake news you've heard so far and how many relatives of yours believed it?

What’s the scoop on DDB Chicago??!

I’m known amongst my IG circle for my content creation style, and I think I should give UGC/content-creation a try. I’m going to put all of my photos in a portfolio now, but how do I find gigs and jobs?

Anyone in to younger guys?

Thank you Nadia for your insights. I’m frustrated gaps still exist in the industry; and the diversity & inclusion needle hasn’t move much since Al Sharpton protested on Madison Ave in the 90’s

Any opinions on Boston Dynamics? Been approached for Strategy role.

I know about their cool robots from Google days but what does industry think about their business/future?

How is the work life balance in cognizant ?

Hello,

I recently got an offer from DBS bank, there they have promised to pay 3,00,000 as one time relocation allowance.

I am looking to get involved with strategy on the staff level and have contacts in Accenture and Deloitte. I am hoping for some work-life balance (having most weekends available, not working past 11..

Is anyone able to shed some light on exit opportunities for process transformation/improvement consultants?

How do you find out who’s “top bucket” and who’s not? Do they disclose this? Also how do you become one?

does anyone have experience exiting after 1 year? any vengeful MD stories? my MD knows a lot of people and i’m scared if i interview or exit to one of these places that he has a connection at he might try to mess with my career...

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

Does anyone know Barclays Ib summer bonus cycle month?? Thanks in advance

What are bonuses like for a first year IB Analyst in London? (Think US banks like GS, MS, Citi etc.)

What are realistic expectations for 3rd Year Analyst / Direct Promote Associate bonus range at a BB? Note that at MS, 2nd year bonuses in my group last year were 90-115K, while MBA associates received a pro-rated 90K stub (~40k). Personally would be pretty unhappy to take a pay cut between 2nd and 3rd year…

What are some great investment banks to work as an associate in the Washington DC area?

currently debating if i should work on the hill or accept an IB role. i feel like working on the hill is invaluable experience that could get me into IB but maybe i’m wrong? Which opportunity gives me best resume experience?

Are coverage group hours better than m&a at your bank? From a lifestyle standpoint

I am going to speak with a recruiter at Houlihan Lokey TMT in LA. I would like to know more about the group and its culture. Would love to connect and network🙏

Weighing whether another year of IB experience would be helpful, or would just make me one year older at the same starting point in PE.
I’m 1.5 years out of college as an analyst at a middle market bank within the healthcare M&A group. Getting worked a lot but starting to operate as an associate on deals. Debating accepting an offer for a newer, lower-MM healthcare and growth focused PE firm. I know I want to go to PE at some point, but what are some thoughts on when you should go?

Steel Case vs Herman Miller

Is Herman Miller the undeniable winner in the office chair market or is Steel Case a contender for first?

Closing in on a corp dev offer. I work at a boutique (~10 ppl) where the analysts/associates carry a lot of weight during deals. What is the longest i could push my potential start date back to for this new role? I don’t wanna leave while i’m in the middle of a bunch of things and screw over my current firm. They’ve been good to me

Would tech ib (m&a) be more affected than say Healthcare/pharma ib in an economic downturn?

Equity research associate considering to pivot into IBD. Is this a wise choice? Heard ER is an exit for some of the IB folks out there.

Thoughts on analyst to associate promote in IB?

What are some resources (paid or otherwise) that will make me a better banker? Wall street prep's course was great, anything else that would help me ramp up as a nontraditional background, lateral recent hire?

I'm up for associate promo next year and nowhere near ready right now (obviously).

Does anyone know about Sage Group? Seems to be a boutique firm but not sure about their culture and overall dealflow in the market.

How many times do you think about quitting per day?
