Guys, I’m an A2 at a Bulge Bracket, becoming A3 in July 2026 and then Associate March 2027. Would you move to an elite boutique (much better at my sector by far, super brand name) but that wants to keep me an A2 for another year. So now I’ll be turning Analyst 3 in March 2027. Would you « lose » 1 year of your career for a bigger brand name ? FYI my current team is toxic, deal flow bad, not enough exposure, lots of politics… and I generally don’t feel good here

Anyone going in on VNET?

My district has finally gone 1-to-1. Is there a good app or website that I could use to have students submit answers anonymously while going over problems in class? I did this last week using Kahoot to go over a state testing review packet. It was great because I could see how many got the right answer and move on if no one missed the question. However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.

Any one recently joined Indeed? Want to know if Indeed asked for a reliving/experience letter from the previous employer. I am joining Indeed in July.

Thanks!

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?

I see postings right now for FT IB analyst programs. Should I even try applying online?

Ik recruiters don’t really read cover letters, but I learned about banking rlly late into college. i’m the daughter of blue collar workers who don’t speak English so I never really knew what jobs were “prestigious”
