[image]() Hey {NAME}, Are you ready to level up your career? Next weekend is your chance to learn from a top pro with IB and PE experience. You better hurry and snag a spot in our [2-day Financial Modeling & Valuation Bootcamp](). Limited seats and they're going fast, don't miss out! Now let's see what WSO Monkeys have been chattin' about this week... TOP DISCUSSIONS 1) [How TF Do I Answer "Why Credit Suisse?"](=) - "Got a first round interview with Credit Suisse coming up - trying to figure out what tf I can say as to "why Credit Suisse" given they're kind of in the shitter right now. Obviously will reference people I've networked with but it's difficult to explain why I'd want to work at a bank that no one wants to work at..." 2) [Care for Each Other, Care for the Community, Look to Grow](=) - "We should all be here to support one another. Don't take out your anger on diversity, or nepotism, or anything that is not in your control. Don't hate others, just congratulate them and move on. Your story is not theirs, nor is theirs yours. Focusing on the journeys of others will only cause you to have resentment. You are enough, and everyone is still proud of you. Take a step back..." 3) [Dead Cat Bounce? Think Again](=) - "The art market is way less affected by macroeconomic swings than stocks. Meaning you don’t have to worry if JPow is in the mood for some reckless driving. This art investment platform's last three exits delivered +10%, +13%, and +35% net returns. And no, 35% returns is NOT..." 4) [In Laws Asking for Money]() - "While I would love to help a family get started in life, I can't help but shake the feeling that if we lend the money, we won't see a penny of it back. I'm also afraid that this sets a precedence as my wife has a few other siblings, and none of them own a property. On the other hand, the rest of her family view us as wealthy, so saying no might make rub them the wrong way..." 5) [What Do Your IB Associates Do?]() - "One of the associates I work with is literally like Houdini in the way that he manages to escape responsibility and get out of doing shit. It's honestly remarkable. I fucking hate his guts but you have to tip your cap to someone who is that slippery and still considered a top performer. Another associate I work with is the most patient person on the planet and gives really clear guidance and feedback. It honestly feels like he is invested in analysts succeeding and learning things. I'll let you all guess which one is A2A and which one is MBA." [image]( Being an Excel power user will separate you from your peers.

TOP DISCUSSIONS CONTINUED 6) [At What Point is it Worth Leaving Your Job and Running Your Own Firm?]( - "It makes sense to leave when you feel you can pay your rent and manage to live on the revenue stream from your new company. Entrepreneurial risk means giving up a guaranteed salary to go make the jump and spend a few years at a lower income bracket, because the upside is multiples higher. Not everyone is capable of taking that risk, by the way, so if you're not comfortable with it that isn't a knock on you..." 7) [10 Years from Now this Bear Market will Likely be Viewed as a Speed Bump. Change My Mind]( - "I completely understand the bearish perspective and I understand the bullish perspective, but in the end the bulls always win....sounds cringy but it's true. Even though I'm short-term bearish and don't see this bear market going past 2023..." 8) [With the tech industry reeling from the fastest rate of redundancies since the pandemic began]() - "This article rounds up the companies that are still hiring workers with skills in analytics, data science, software engineering, design, and more..."
