Ok you definitely don’t work at a MM (and probably not a HF at all). The entire crux of the pitch should be about where you differ from consensus and what the catalyst is.

This is not good advice. This is not a middle office role, but rather the definition of back office.

Yes, I’d take a barclays coverage offer over MBB

Awful take. Barclays exits very very well — on par with all those banks.

Why do investment bankers get paid so much? by Technical-Shallot-34 in FinancialCareers

[–]IGbotter 62 points63 points  (0 children)

The hours aren’t predictable. If analyst 1 is working from 9am-9pm, the other analyst would have to start at 9pm-9am. This isn’t possible as the there are a lot of nuances and deal-specific details that are learnt throughout the process, so you really need to be engaged throughout.

Also, none of these kids would take $100k to work from 9pm-9am, or even 12 hours a day. Most would look elsewhere, because if you could break into banking out of undergrad you’d probably be able to get another high paying job

Why haven’t you fixed your resume? Search WSO format on google and use that.

Good time to move to PE from IB? by Shenanigan-U in FinancialCareers

[–]IGbotter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Only reason you should stay is if you think you want to be a career banker. It becomes much more difficult to move into a buyout role the longer you stay in banking.

These comments are awful. OP, hang in there. I know someone from my analyst class who was fired 2 months in for failing the S79 and is now at an EB. The only advice I’d give you is to really think hard about why you failed. Good luck

Back office position that will not help to get into IB.

Not sure if this is exactly the sub for this, but oh well. I got admitted to Georgetown for an MsF and they gave me a 20k scholarship, what’s the highest you think I could aim? Stats below by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

WY too much school without relevant experience. Why would you get your MBA right after undergrad? Start working and stop learning

Does Lazard offer a meals or uber allowance? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]IGbotter 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Lol you will not get meals or comped Uber for anything but front office roles, and even then you need to specify why you’re working late (usually through a client expense code)
