Hey All!

Currently a undergraduate Sophomore at a non-target University and was just wondering with all the bankers in this fishbowl, what were some of the best networking calls you ever had with students and what set them apart from other individuals? How did you prefer these students to maintain relationships with you? (ie phone calls, emails, text).

Networking for 2027 summer currently so just wanted to get some insight if possible. Appreciate any help at all!

Got a job offer from a company called Socios but unsure of whether to take it? New to NFTs and looking for any insight on the company/industry. Please help!

Currently on H1B and waiting for an offer from EY. Does EY kick start with green card process quickly in special cases. HR said normally it is 1 yr but he has to check with legal team. More inside..

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.
Understanding things have changed there in the last few months, I need un-biased advice from fellow fish who have recently joined or can speak to recent changes

Hi Sharks,

Wanted to know your experience of applying for jobs abroad. For those who converted and joined abroad, did you apply for jobs on LinkedIn? Which platform would be the best for a senior data scientist in India. Also I get 30 lpa now, is it worth going abroad? Can we save more?

Thanks I advance!

Anyone know what McKinsey’s Philadelphia office focuses on, or what industries it covers?

Anyone want to grab a drink tn?

Ayo whose company just pulled up to Ladder in suites??

Do you work on any home engineering projects in your free time? If so, what are you working on at the moment?

Anyone ever heard of Exabeam ? Thoughts on company , culture, work? Principal security consultant. Thanks!!

I like in Oklahoma where I make 34K per year. Houses aren't that expensive but on top of my other expenses, saving for a house seems nearly impossible.

Signing off for the day! Looking forward to continuing the conversation tomorrow. Keep the questions coming :)

How does your help help with interest rates if we're only putting 10% down. In addition to a meager down payment, I also worry abt interest :( Definitely didn't get into this for the money

Damn I miss my life before the pandemics (the home office part can stay, though).

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

Thoughts on PJT strategic advisory?

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.

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?

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🙏

Public finance exit opps?

Have technical interview (pen and paper only) coming up with a BB, can anyone offer advice/resources/suggested way to practice?

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

Any advice for moving from being a lawyer to secondary advisory or private fund groups that combine this with placement/fundraising?

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

Hey guys who are some of your M&A clients? I’m trying to figure out what stocks to buy.

Lower middle market bros. What’a your comp structure? I will share:
100k$ + 60k$ discretionary bonus

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

Economy is shrinking folks - just got my IBD interview cancelled due to hiring needs “changing”… I will continue to prepare and be ready for the next opportunity.

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
