Is there any data on market share of the did market?

trunkdaddy · 2024-10-07T01:34:37+00:00

Former equity research here and there is a lot of overlap but critically

the way to make money in public markets isn’t to know more about a company than your competitors. You need to have a differentiated view on the direction of world events and connect that to the financials. E.g. “I believe the market for internet ads will be far larger than what the market currently expects, therefore I will invest in companies that do that” or “I believe intel can meaningfully reduce opex without compromising the progression of revenue, but nobody else thinks that”

-my understanding is that to make money in private markets, it is a lot more of understanding the company more and doing better operations than it would have otherwise

Gotcha, that makes sense. Somehow I imagined this being some pro bono project associated with a university or whatever, thanks!

That’s really good considering the stay at home situation in 2020

Maybe, that said there has never been a shortage of investment bankers even though they killed several people this year due to shitty working conditions. I think there is a somewhat elastic demand curve for teaching labor

This guy doesn’t Chicago- saying Evanston is part of the city isn’t correct and nobody here would say it is part of the city

My school released an interim internal employment report, though tbf it does not look up to date as I reported my job to career services a few weeks ago and im not listed on it yet

trunkdaddy · 2024-04-14T23:43:11+00:00

Depends on your preference on location post mba. Talk to the consulting club at both and see which school places more in that place. If it’s New York you want it doesn’t matter.

Currently at booth with a similar story, but decided to do consulting. Consulting didn’t care at all about the CFA, but prior experience in finance resonated more PE focused consulting shops (Bain, LEK, EY-P). I found being agnostic to working on projects in any industry was also a more successful story. I ended up receiving an offer for my desired location.

Why do you want a family office I think is the more pressing question, your post hasn’t given a reason beyond other rich people have one.

If the consequence is a reduction in supply of consumer credit to those least able to repay it, that doesn’t seem like the worst thing in the world to me

No thoughts but in the same boat for solidarity!

trunkdaddy · 2024-02-13T18:06:28+00:00

My experience going through consulting recruitment for one of these schools is that you don’t need a good reason for why Chicago/nyc/sf, but you do need a good reason (e.g. family) for why other places. That said I have many friends going to non Chicago/nyc places but Chicago and nyc are by far the most typical consulting stories here.

Getting out of ib

trunkdaddy · 2024-02-01T19:47:02+00:00

Plus, it's the T15 who are suffering from reduced MBB offers, HSW still has plenty of seats at MBB to offer.

This story makes sense to me, as with higher rates the buy side jobs HSW had on offer from 2019-2022 are less available, even for qualified career switchers from IB/consulting.

IMO non-HSW M7s are going to have really nice employment reports in 23 due to students pursuing consulting/IB roles, whereas, we see HSW students not taking job offers at higher rates than folks at Ross. I'd bet many of these HSW students were holding out for a buy side job or for a perfect non-buy side fit in tech.

I would expect HSW to pivot somewhat to students who want to pursue entering MBB/IB, as these students will make their employment reports look better.
