WSO: London Return Offer Rates

[image](=) Hey {NAME}, Are you serious about your high finance career goals? [Check out WSO Academy.](=) -Patrick TOP DISCUSSIONS 1) [Bottom Buckets: Where are You Now?](=) - "Top bucket for first two analyst years and then mid bucket and then bottom bucket. My joy, learning, and youthfulness all got sucked out of the job - it also sucks when seeing your MDs work just as late or even later than you - seeing that it ultimately doesn't get better (though it surely does in most regards). I kind of just stopped caring and as someone else pointed out, I enjoyed more "free" time with friends, family, and my girlfriend (she was most appreciative)...." 2) [PSA: Nightmare HH Experience]() - "....Rant aside - current analysts, I'm not telling you to avoid Glocap altogether (they cover plenty of good names and the gatekeeping nature of this industry is an unfortunate reality). Just be warned that HHs - every single last one of them - are not your friend, they are not supporting your journey, and they couldn't give a flying f**k what happens to you. The second you lose your ability to make money for them by being rejected from a role, they stop caring about you and will treat you like pure garbage." 3) [Sealing Deals Like a Pro]( - "This integration is incredible. With the AI insights, my team and I have been closing deals more effectively than ever. It feels like we have an inside scoop on every client." 4) [Q&A: Leaving SM After Four Years]() - "Currently primarily work in public markets at a single manager fund, with deep knowledge of long only and long/short strategies. Career changer with a background in consulting and banking, and a top 3 MBA. Made successful switch to a HF with a non-traditional background."

Even if you are really interested in finance, you can still become a lawyer and specialise in private equity or M&A with the potential to earn over 7 figures if you make partner. The only argument I have seen against law is the opportunity cost from studying an extra 3 years to get your law degree but this is very US-centric as in the UK it only takes an extra year of study after your LLB to start working at a law firm...." 6) [London Return Offer Rates Megathread]( - "Putting together a thread for all return offer rates. Heard Barclays and JPM are out today." 7) [12% Dividend Preferred Shares](=) - "After 2.5 years of reliable quarterly dividends, this Nasdaq-listed company is offering its 12% preferred shares again. They're using the capital to acquire profitable businesses. A minimum $20k investment yields 3% per quarter. Soon, these shares will also provide liquidity by being listed on a US..." 8) [How Do I Overcome being Undervalued]() - "I am on some really shitty deals that I got staffed on day 1 where I’ve gotten zero modeling exposure and am basically just a process monkey (deals have been ongoing for years and model was built before I got here). These deals have just been dragging and dragging for my entire tenure with no end in sight. I have still yet to close a deal (sign of the times I guess), but I also haven’t gotten any modeling exposure and so I am feeling very far behind my peers...."
