Is there something worse that being staffed with 2 leading MDs for an M&A? None is taking leadership and have completely different approaches to the deal. How do I know who’s boss?

Overseas on a study and finding a hot expat to help me with some in-room dining.. sometimes we get food. This job is alright sometimes

Thoughts on ENS?

How do I easily find any cells that are hard coded vs formula? I have 10,000 rows of data and column F is supposed to be a formula based on columns C and D, without clicking into all 10k cells in column F how can I make sure formulas are there and not accidentally hand keyed over?

Anyone watch the mayoral debate last night? Reading the recap, it seems like it wasn’t that interesting

Hi sharks, looking forward to switch Job. I work in operations. YOE 2 years. Any referrals ?

Is joining cisco with 26 base 3 lk bonus and 3.5 joining bonus with 6yoe in Cisco webex good?

Many openings in McKinsey. DM me for referrals.

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.

Thinking of getting a peloton. Anyone actually experience weight loss and overall health improvement from having one?

I make excuses for not going to the gym and the number 1 being convenience so I figure if it’s in my actual home then I have no excuses!

Be nice, thanks! 😊

Hi Fishes, need help with referral in VMWARE. I have the job id

What does drug testing look like after you get an offer?

Hello Fishes,

I am appearing for Flipkart fashion, Manager Planning & Analytics role.

Please do let me know the process and type of interviews that's going to come.

Recent projects have moved me more towards stakeholder engagement, training, and comms roles. I used to be a BA in industry, what can I do to move back toward that type role and find a new job?

I’m looking to take some certificate classes. Can anyone point me in the right direction for affordable online classes?

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)

Anyone else heard of this/tried it?

I want to get a bottle of liquor from Canada that isn't sold in the US. Can't get it shipped. Anyone from PA/DE/NJ/NY going to Quebec anytime soon that would be willing to bring a bottle back?

When is external hire IBD recruiting season?

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🙏

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

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 just received an offer to lateral into banking. How does independence affect the stocks I currently own? If I join and my stocks are on a restricted list will I have to sell them? Or will I be limited to being unable to buy more/sell any during the course of my employment.

Nyc based. Is it at all possible to make at least 200 base in corp dev or strategy at a tech company? Super burned out but don’t want to take a paycut in base. I realize I’ll never make all in comp the same in tech but if I can match base I’d be content.

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?

What’s the best VDR and why is it datasite?

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

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

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”

Thoughts on PJT strategic advisory?

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

Would tech ib (m&a) be more affected than say Healthcare/pharma ib in an economic downturn?

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

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?

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?

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

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
