[image]( Hey {NAME}, A 12-week program (with many lifetime benefits) that puts everything we’ve learned on a silver platter for you—to dramatically improve your odds at landing a high finance offer. [Check it out](=) -Patrick TOP DISCUSSIONS 1) [Gen Z = IB and PE Less Competitive?](=) - "At a top target and can honestly tell you the issue is not about a shortage of smart kids trying to get into IB, but rather the fact that the firms choose the shitty candidates, for whatever reason, especially the BBs. I know a lot of brilliant kids who didn’t get great offers or any offers while retards who can’t walk you through an LBO got top BB offers. Don’t blame gen z, blame the banks’ shitty HR/recruiting practices?" 2) [LinkedIn Cringe Rankings](=) - "LinkedIn has gone from bad to worse, and has now been downgraded to a BBB- (same quality as Facebook). While Facebook is cancer for being full of photos of children and old people, LinkedIn is now just a place for the inadequate to post their unimpressive accolades and to post about scenarios that never happened." 3) [M&A Science Fall Summit 2023](=) - "The M&A Science Fall Summit is back on November 8th, 2023. Join this free virtual event as we discuss current trends and share advice from industry-leading practitioners. The sessions will cover a variety of M&A topics." 4) [Ideas to Further Show Appreciation for My Favorite Senior?](=) - "If he is old-school, I would 100% write a long handwritten letter about how much he meant to my career and how I should carry myself as I progress. A nice bottle of whisky might be a nice touch."

TOP DISCUSSIONS CONTINUED 5) [A Lambo for the Weekend]() - "I was impressed by the cutting-edge activity tracking that helped me tailor my follow-ups with potential buyers. The advanced Q&A functionality also saved me a lot of time and hassle during the due diligence process. The permissioning tools were easy to use and allowed me to grant access to the right people quickly. The upload speeds were fast and reliable, and I never experienced any downtime. And the best part was the supercar offer, which was a nice bonus and a great incentive to close the deal." 6) [The Story of the Little Monkeys who Made it to Wall Street]() - "The little monkeys who had once swung from trees had evolved to walk, talk, and conquer Wall Street, all while using their newfound power to create a better world for everyone, proving that evolution could indeed lead to great things, even for the most unlikely of creatures." 7) [Quality of Life Purchases]( - "I associate almost everything in my life to music so having that at home made all the difference. And I mean a real 2.1 or more type of setup, not just a portable bluetooth rig. Lets you extract the most from your tracks as intended when they were recorded in the studio whether it's the eagles or jay-z." 8) [To Those Unhappy with Their Roles, Why Haven’t You Lateraled??](=) - "There are lots of reasons. And people make decisions based on multiple factors. You can also seem unhappy at work because that’s the way that someone expresses themself, especially in banking. Venting out can help, can be a bonding tool, or can be used as a staffing management tool. You don’t throw away a role just because there is a shit assignment every once in a while." 9) [Skills to Earn More Bills](=) - "Taking your data skills to the next level can supercharge your career. Make it insanely easy, help yourself master essential data science concepts in minutes a day with actual data. Trust the data: Interactive learning has been proven to be 6x more effective than watching lecture videos." 10) [Biggest Mistakes During Recruiting](=) - "Not doing enough mocks. It's one thing to memorize and say to yourself and another to get grilled over and over again by someone different each time."
