Brian Trying to decide between Guggenheim and Lazard MM for IB summer analyst position Any thoughts? I agree that its far above the other MM banks, but I dont really think you can call it an elite boutique, either. However, after getting experience in a small investment banking/Private equity company this summer, Ive realized I want to pursue IB. Your email address will not be published. VP) outside the US. How does an offer from Barclays and CS compare, reputation and exit ops wise, for generalist NYC? It might make sense it just depends on how certain you are that you want to do PE. Particularly in the In-Between-a-Bank (IBAB) category, I have left out many names because I dont want to list 50+ banks. I'm interested in restructuring, so let's assume I'm placed into that group (more than likely). Its not like choosing between LA and NYC in the US where the distance is more of a barrier. I know they have been trending up and expanding in recent years, but do you think this is a sign of larger deals ahead, or a one and done? What is the S.T.A.R. I have an offer with Rothschild and was wondering if anyone had further information on the group (sentiment, exits, reputation etc). Do they hire the best and brightest? I have c.7 years of work exp starting in audit and doing a 2 year IR stint at a large bank prior to the big 4. Hey Brian! Many thanks for all the topics you have covered so far! Millstein started recently but are on very big deals, and Evercore while strong reputationally, are still establishing themselves. -Target school What category should I realistically aim for? Gulfport (which was brought along with the ex PJT partner), Valaris (largest OFS rx) EP Energy (UCC) and Foresight ( financial advisory to company) come to mind. Would it be worth the effort to apply to these roles and complete their online assessments? and what about corinthian? I was wondering if I should land a Finance Job and try again after earning an MBA (Top 20 college) to move directly into an Associate level. I dont know, maybe target boutiques or think about one of the strategies here instead: https://mergersandinquisitions.com/too-old-for-finance/. Not sure if DB is still considered a good brand name (or a BB) ? Thoughts on Guggenheim vs JPM in Media and Comms team for MBA Summer Associate Position. Of course you want to go to a good bank, but just know that people and culture is a huge factor in day to day life. And yes, you pretty much need a summer internship to win a full-time offer at most banks (some exceptions in smaller cities and less popular groups). If its your top goal in life, yes, a lateral move is worth it. So, you want to work in an advisory role in an investment bank? I doubt any banks will make major moves in the near term (except down, maybe) due to the virus crisis and sharp economic downturn. Yes, maybe RBC is better now, but its still not sending the majority of Analysts to mega-funds. Despite that, these firms are still much smaller than the bulge brackets. Undergraduate in Accounting & Finance (2:2) now Ive started Msc Corporate Finance from Russel group University. However, I wonder if leaving the firm after 3 summers would be a waste of building that social capital so far or if summers are just summers and I should not consider my history with the firm as anything. I dont have a strong view, but in the U.S. market, theyre lesser-known names and therefore not as good for exit opportunities. They also tend to work on smaller deals, overall, than the bulge brackets, but these deals are still bigger than what middle market and boutique banks work on. .and of course, do you think this will affect headhunters perception of the bank and have any impact on exit opps..? How significant do you think the difference in exit opportunities are from a firm like Blair/Baird/HL vs UBS/DB/RBC (assuming you want to go into PE). Does New York get to work on any sovereign deals? There is no point in applying for 3rd year internships if you are going into your 2nd year. Hey Brian, thoughts on Centerview vs Evercore vs GS for Associate level? Very few, if any, will stay in banking, and if they do it will be as a direct promote to associate, which HW seems to offer to the majority of analysts who want to stay. Like Goldman Sachs, Lazard has also been ensuring that juniors have extended weekends like Easter off in theirentirety. LevFin at GS/MS (If I remember correctly both have more of a capital markets LevFin desk) or M&A at an EB (Evercore/PJT/Centerview). Just to give you two specific examples of why, take a look at a few recent league tables from this year and last year: http://dmi.thomsonreuters.com/Content/Files/1Q2016_MandA_MidMarket_FA_Review.pdf Im agree with you, can i ask you which banks/sector target? If I wait a year Ill be a third year analyst, after lateraling wont I eventually be promoted to associate and take myself out of recruiting? Im not sure about merchant banking at the large banks as Ive never been able to find much information on it. Im an upcoming senior at a very non target school with a 3.3 GPA. When I asked HR about it, they said the industry average of $10k was only available to their returning interns, and since I was a full time hire, I was only eligible for half of that. Second, do not judge yourself based on any online list or discussion, including this one. A spokesperson for Rothschild says the bank has a protected weekend policy to, "allow colleagues to plan for events with full confidence that there will not be a last-minute breaking of commitments due to work." I have an offer with Rothschild and was wondering if anyone had further information on the group (sentiment, exits, reputation etc.). 100% staying within finance and not interested in corp dev type of exits. Take the full time IB MM and then try to lateral? The standard answer is "any megafund you please. Hi Brian, thanks for the informative article , Can I ask your opinion on Equity Research at Raymond James vs IB at Mizuho for an undergrad summer analyst? I was looking at applying for some IB SA roles for 2020. Raymond James is better if youre not sure what you want to specialize in yet and you want to keep your options open. Thanks! See the detailed article for more on this topic. If youre still thinking of options outside the banking/finance industry, then its better to stay at a bigger firm with a better-known brand name. I read that BBs and EBs are too selective and dont hire anyone from smaller shops, they only need top college grads. Im currently doing a Corporate Banking role at a Chinese bank. Does it make sense to lateral again to a BB in order to get a better shot at PE? I have a question and I wanted to hear your opinion If possible. I dont know, maybe we need a special category here. Thanks! Especially with the likes of Houlihan Lokey, Jefferies, William Blair. I know you wrote an article on working on cross-border M&A deals before and not suggest readers to ask more work from staffer. So, good options for smaller buy-side firms, corporate development roles, etc., but not the place to be if you want to work at the mega-funds. The bottom line: Yes, Restructuring is the best group during a downturn, recession, or market crash, but it's not a panacea. Not everyone wants to do coverage work and work on hella balance sheet stuff at JPM while making $50k less than their counterpart at PWP that works on more M&A with a better culture, etc. German guy here, simple question: does moving from Rothschild to BNP Paribas makes any sense? Would Citi be between CS and Jefferies or between BAML and Barclays? P/S: There are the absolute numbers btw. The Bottom Line: Even though elite boutiques do offer many advantages over bulge brackets, youre still better off going to a BB unless youre very, very certain of your long-term plans. I dont know, about the same? If Bain is stronger than BNP, what role should I aim to do in Bain? GPA/test scores? I had a rough life between the ages of 18-23. Its not as structured in Europe (and maybe some smaller markets in the U.S.). What about Harris Williams? Worked at a lower middle market boutique advisory firm last summer. Id dicta dolor aut nostrum quia. Restructuring investment banking mandates typically involve two advisors: one for the debtor side and one for the creditor side. I think Jefferies is decent in this area, but again, probably works on smaller deals than the others. Smaller private equity fund or hedge fund that uses off-cycle recruiting. Over time, a split has developed in this group, with the Top 3 (GS, MS, and JPM) performing better than the rest. Turnover is high, its a crappy job for most people, and banks need junior staff to churn out documents. I am starting at a T10-T15 ranked MBA program in the fall. You should be asking which banks you have a realistic chance of working at. I am based in London in one of the big 4 M&A teams, however my team focuses on non-performing loan sales rather than pure M&A and we dont do the modelling for those so moving to the buy side is out of the question. Thanks for your reply! In fact their transaction value is better than BofA,CS, and 85 billion better than Barclays Can someone provide more color on the RX threads, specifically how the Millstein acquisition and the exodus at Rothschild will impact this rankings?

The most likely exits are moving to an investment bank or joining the corporate finance/strategy/related team at a normal company. I am considering a post-summer lateral move to either an elite boutique or one of the big 3, but Im not sure if its worth it, especially since full-time recruiting is so much harder than internship recruiting.

DCM Summer at IBAB or IB Summer at MM?

It takes a lot of effort to switch to another bank (https://mergersandinquisitions.com/investment-banking-accelerated-interviews/), and its not necessarily worth it unless youre laser-focused on mega-fund PE. Im a M7 MBA student. Hey Brian, Temporibus sit est et omnis alias in occaecati. Omnis ea et molestias quos molestiae. What would you suggest? Potentially, yes, but again, it depends on your specific experience, university, grades, etc. Evercore is the best, reputation-wise, with Centerview close behind (not enough to really make a difference, so go by the team/people). If overall deal activity falls by 50%, an increase in distressed deals will not make up for that lost volume, especially once you factor in all the $10 billion+ transactions that get canceled. Sorry, you need to login or sign up in order to vote. Although I would not say no to KKR and Carlyle ;). I have now 2 internship IB offers in continental Europe, both could potentially turn to full time offers. I would like to know which one of these two will eventually bring me higher probabilities of landing at a MM PE after 2-3 years at IB? Thoughts? I have accepted an offer with BMO Capital Markets and am interested in Growth Equity down the line. I dont know about the scheduling issues offhand, but the usual answer in cases like this is to find a way to delay your graduation so that its around the time of full-time start dates at banks and there are no issues with finishing too late or too early.

My understanding was that they were considered an eb/ that their restructuring group is a top 3 player in the space.
