Just got crushed by an IB modeling test. Even with prep materials I don’t know how some people with an FDD background can pass these tests, there was stuff I’ve never even heard of.

There are some IB specific modeling prep courses you can take. Wall Street Prep has some - have had some friends take those and they’re certified freaks in the sheets

Sorry to hear. What was it?

No this was M&A. I could tell it wasn’t that hard in theory for what you needed to do, but hard in the sense that if you haven’t seen or worked with this stuff before, you wouldn’t have a clue on how to approach it

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Hey folks, question about applying for a role in Spotify (Sweden).
Does having a referral make a big difference to get your application reviewed?

I'm currently in Canada and planning to move to Sweden soon so applied for a few spots however I don't have even the slightest idea if
a) applying from Ca will actually get my application tossed out the window
b) I've heard there are gazillion ppl applying so if referral gets me on the radar, instead wasting time just find someone to refer me?

I am a technical recruiter with three years of experience. I am currently interviewing at a series B tech start up located in CA for a fully remote position.

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?

CohnReznick is looking to add some Managers and Seniors to the Transactions team. You have the ability to work remote 100% of the time with no travel. We have offices in every major city. Very reasonable hours, great offshore team, easy to use databook and report templates, large sign on bonus, very large performance bonuses, and salaries that match the Big 4. DM me for referrals.
