IB -> Buy side will triple your income

Transcript

I quit Morgan Stanley and trippled my camp. I went from sell-side to buy-side after one year and nine months and everyone said that was three months too early, but the buy-side dispute. Nobody over there asked me my GPA. They asked one thing over and over and I'm going to tell you what it is at the end. Every conversation I had was a deal walk through. Not the biggest deal, the one I actually led, what the business did, why the sponsor wanted it and how the capital structure was actually built. And I ran multiple processes at once on purpose. Alone, you get a number. Converted, you get the number that you actually ask I took the highest package on the table. And the three months early, I don't have much patience. So here's the question. Every firm asked me, would you have put your own money in it? And that's the only way that I thought about things moving forward. So follow for part two, how to break into private credit.
