Follow Up Advice Question

ke18sb — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:19:09 -0500

Question to those in PE,

Backgroud:
I had a final round at a MM fund 3 weeks ago. During my interview they said they would get back to me in 3-4 weeks. I sent a thank you note and the hiring manager replied basically saying thanks, great meeting you and as discussed we will get back to you.

Question:
I was thinking about calling him to check in, asking where they are in the process, let him know I'm still very excited about the opportunity and ask if they would like any additional information as they look to make a decision. Do you guys recommnend calling in? If so when would be most appropriate? Would it in any way hurt my position?

Thanks

What are some of the training companies that BB/MM banks use? How do they compare? I'm trying to set something up for the analysts at my boutique bank.

Thanks.

Circ Question

Question about Circs.

I have a problem whereby I have a model with some circs in it and sometimes when I change one of the input cells it messes up the circ and the whole thing goes to #div. When I try to hit undo it stays messed up. I usually close the file without saving and redo my work. There has to be a better way to over come this. Suggestions/help.

IB --> CorpDev/Strat --> exit ops Question

ke18sb — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 20:48:21 -0500

I'm a 3rd year analyst considering going in to the international strategy group of a multinational corp. I was wondering what are the exit ops after a gig like this. If I don't want to go to grad school is it possible to transition to PE or back to IB? or are you stuck in CorpDev. I'm just worried that once I leave IB I won't be able to come back or transition to PE.

Banking to Corporate Dev/Strategy Question

ke18sb — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 14:05:27 -0500

I'm in the middle of 3rd year as an analyst at a regional boutique and will probably get promoted to associate. I was thinking about trying to get a job in the corporate world as a strategy analyst for a fortune 500 company in its international division. It's one of those jobs that requires pervious banking/consulting experience.

S-1 Filing Question

Does any one know, with a good degree of certainty, the percentage of S-1 filing that actually led to an IPO. Where can I find data about this?

Ivy Pet Peeve

ke18sb — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 14:43:56 -0400

This thread is in response of some of the â€œis Harvard easyâ€ posts yesterday. I find it so ridiculous that ivy kids always claim that they are so superior to top public school kids. The justification of grade inflation via the argument that if ivy kids went to top publics they would get all Aâ€™s is asinine. I think itâ€™s even far fetched to claim that just because you go to an ivy you would even be in the top 20% at a top public school. Yes, ivy kids are smart and Iâ€™m not attacking their intellectual aptitude. My point is simple; going to an ivy does not translate to success at a top state school.

lateral interviewing?

ke18sb — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 13:44:45 -0500

Does anyone know about the lateral interviewing process? How does it differ from the interview process out of school? Are the questions less technical or more technical? Is it more of a fit interview? Do you still have to go through the whole dog and poney show? What are the percent yields from interviews? Thanks.
