As an incoming IBD Analyst 1, would you pick Healthcare or Real Estate team? And why ?

Say I work in tech and have a decent finance experience. Would my 3 yoe of domain "expertise" in tech make me an attractive bet for the banks Tech coverage team? In other words, does having experience in Tech make me more hireable for IBD?

Also already own a primary residence.

Can I still do a backdoor ROtH IRA for 2021?

I am sick of being a realtor! I've been trying for 5 years and have only sold 3 houses. Where I'm from (small Southern town) nobody is buying. Most people's families already own homes and it's just a bummer to see all these nice houses deteriorating over time.

Stocks up today! Because… Why not!

Will Amex restricting guess access for Centurion Lounge actually make any difference?

I can see short term changes but the way Amex has been aggressively marketing Platinum card, we just will have overcrowding of primary card holders 🤷🏻‍♂️

What's next, everyone has to spend min. 50k a year to get Centurion lounge access or pay per visit.

I feel like this is the busiest billable December I’ve had. Anyone else absolutely swamped with work this month?

M&A/PE associate (trying to juggle multiple deals) feeling like I don’t have time to dive deeper into issues and it being highlighted in some of my work product as I am having to turn things right away and just pushing things out - so issues I may have caught if I had a better/deeper/higher level understanding are more apparent when partners review. Truly feeling like I’m just messing up all around but trying to give myself grace. How do you know if it’s just you or a part of the process?

Anyone have any interview experience/advice for the IBM associate technical consultant federal position…application developer and test specialist specifically.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

What are good brands for young business people. I don't like Gucci and LV cause they are so mainstream. I am in the market for a new wallet and want something that is unique and nice (thinking Tom Ford or Mulberry)

I'm not the best at coming up with lines on the spot. I can write good lines when I'm by myself in front of my laptop, but not when I'm talking with my CD or someone else. Is this considered an issue?

Thoughts about going back and forth between agency and in-house? Is it a good/bad idea? Is it even possible?

Anyone at Goldman in Portfolio Construction/Liquidity/Fixed Income that would mind chatting with me? Have an interview coming up soon.

Am I more or less likely to be laid off if the economy tanks even more if I just started as an analyst two months ago

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

DB ECM - does anyone have a view?

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.

Any thoughts on BNP M&A in nyc

What “lifestyle” exit opportunities pay decently? Been interviewing for corporate development and strategic finance roles but total comp looks to be almost a 50% pay cut.

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

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

What does everyone wear for client meetings in a WFH setting

Thoughts on GP Bullhound?

I am new in London. I have 4 years of M&A experience in the buy side. I have come across an opportunity to work with Rede Partners in London. But I am not aware of what exactly they do and what to expect going ahead. Can someone please guide if they are aware of Rede Partners?

Currently an analyst-level consultant working with a client that has an investment banking division. Since I have access to internal systems, could I reach out to bankers for networking from within using those systems? Or would that be too aggressive? lol

Left IBD to quickly - VP1 opps?

Long story short - was lured into an opportunity to do BD for a large PE PortCo… better work/life balance, but honestly miss the deal cycle.

Anyone know of open VP1 opps right now?

Quick background - former MM banker (think Raymond James, Piper Sandler size) doing FinTech and Asset Management within FIG, but also open to other sectors.

Thanks!

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

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?

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

Public finance exit opps?

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?
