Found out that global CEO is a Trump supporter. Was approached by an ex-client who wants to do a side project for the LGBT community, but had to turn it down because of that. Mixed feelings. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I get a mini heart attack every time I see an email notification from Mark Read. 🥺

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

Looking for second hand scoty . Dont want to buy from dealer if anyone introduced to sell their scoty DM me . Budget is 20 to 30 k

Is moving to a HCOL city a bad move financially? If my fiancé and I are making $70k+ in our LCOC market we’d expect an increase in salary to move. Does it even out over time? Is buying property in a HCOL city better than in a LCOL city?

Is there a better way to find a railyard in a new city other than typing “railyard” into google maps?

Hey everyone! Any permanent residents travelled to the UK recently? I’m confused as to what I need to go there, and then what I need to come back here. Any help will be appreciated :)

I recently moved from litigation to transactional and am struggling to reach billable targets. In litigation it was no problem hitting 1800+ hours but don’t see how I’m going to come anywhere close to that in a transactional role.

I’m mostly sitting around all day waiting for work that doesn’t take long to complete (though at my desk for 10-12 hours/day). Is this normal? Suggestions on how to keep busy other than asking for work and having good work product?

Just a Lauren in CA looking for her Cameron 🙌🏽

Had several great interviews at a company. Reached out to internal recruiter a few days ago. No word back. Should I send a LinkedIn message to the person that would be my boss to check in?

Hey everybody. Got laid off at D. BTA within strategy and analytics. Mostly LS/HC experience. Anybody can help out with a referral anywhere? Thank you!

My lease is up in the coming months on my current vehicle. Wanting to upgrade to a Tesla Model 3. Will be able to put down around $10,000 down payment(don’t have enough saved to pay for it all in cash, and need a vehicle). Don’t really want to lease and thinking I want to buy new, but would be interested in hearing about people’s thoughts on buying used? Or other thoughts around the needing a vehicle but not having enough to buy it all in cash?

I want to be a client instead of an investment banker. Where do I sign up?

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

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

DB ECM - does anyone have a view?

Any recommendations on brushing up on PowerPoint?

Thoughts on GP Bullhound?

Is breaking into equity research/coverage teams as hard as breaking into traditional advisory/M&A IB being from a non target school with a non finance degree?

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

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?

Any staple brands for a first year analyst’s wardrobe?

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!

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

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

Directors/MDs, outside of promotion years, what’s been the largest YoY fluctuation in your bonus/TC? What did you attribute to it?

How many times do you think about quitting per day?

For those of you working in your physical office in nyc in IBD or S&T right now, do you have to wear a mask all the time? Or like only in elevators
