I just can’t deal w this job today. I have to find a way to quit this job.

It’s not just the hours and insane deadlines. It’s that, coupled with immense toxicity coming from the head MD. The lack of mid-level support. The lack of coaching.

The sad part is the actual work is interesting. But officially, there’s no amount of money you can pay me to keep doing this. I’m done and burnt the f out. 90+ this week.

Real talk ... if someone is over 35 and hasn’t been married before, do you automatically assume there is something wrong with them?

Plans fell through for this weekend. Any female fish want to hang out and grab dinner and drinks

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

Met a great woman this weekend. We are going on a date at the end of the month. Both have crazy schedules end of this month and next . I can’t stop thinking about her :) happy pride 🏳️‍🌈 ❤️

These dating apps. ARGH! Someone “likes” you (takes the time to do that) then never messages you back. I don’t understand.

Family luddites ask about my work and immediately behave annoyed when I start to answer.

Openings in M&A consulting, private equity. Dm for referral!

Anyone at Stripe willing to refer? I’m applying for Program Manager, Talent & Careers Programs.

Does anyone else have to wait until they have all assignments turned in for the day to start grading? I have Geom classes in the a.m. and p.m. and my OCD doesn’t let me grade as they are turned in.

Running my first half-marathon mid-October, How many weeks should I give myself to train? I was thinking 14. Not trying to PR, and can run 4/5 miles comfortably right now. Any advice or training plans you recommend?

Anyone have a recommended tax person in Chicago?

Has anyone who lateraled for an experienced IB role gotten moving expenses reimbursed? If so, how much was it? Thanks

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.

I just graduated from a nontarget in Dec 2020 & am currently interning at PwC before I go back to do my Masters. My initial plan was to accept my full time offer and slowly work my way into IB.

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”

What credit cards does everyone use to maximize rewards points? What bank accounts to maximize sign up bonuses?

Received an offer for equity research and IB, both in toronto. ER paying $120k base and my understanding is that bonus can be around 25-30%. IB is paying $105k base but likely higher bonus? Which one would u choose if you think you would be good at both

Any thoughts on BNP M&A in nyc

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

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.

Have an internship next summer in a vertical I don’t want to work in and is completely unrelated to where I want to end up. However the firm is strong in PE. To try and break into that side after my internship at the same company, would it be more beneficial to take on a (very small boutique) PE internship or an IB internship this fall?

Anyone analyze QoEs before? Need to come up with questions for due diligence call and looking for some guidance

Thoughts on the Tech investment banking scene in Charlotte, North Carolina?

Senior Risk Consultant + CPA at big 4 (4 YOE) looking to break into IB with no Deals experience. Would appreciate any tips, tricks and resources for interview prep and beyond. I have an interview coming up with an MM bank in their Real Estate group. TIA

Any recommendations on brushing up on PowerPoint?

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?

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?
