BNP Paribas & ABN AMRO
Any thoughts on either bank both from an European and American perspective? From the league tables, I know both do pretty well in Europe just curious how their IBD is perceived given that BNP is a full-service bank/IB and I haven't really heard much about ABN at all.
Have they pitched for any big deals recently? And anybody worked or dealt with them in the past?
Any feedback is appreciated.
I worked in ABN AMRO's US Capital Markets Group in the US this past summer and if you are interested in traditional IB in the US, stay away. Their investment bankers are more relationship bankers than anything. They have M&A specialists, but their numbers are far less than 100 in the US, so its essentially a dead division. ABN acquired ING's US investment bank but for the most part simply ended up liquidating it a couple years ago.
Pay at ABN is kind of weak, near the middle-bottom of wall street pay for what few IB jobs that they do have. Their S&T positions usually offer below street too.
Interesting. I guess it just goes to show the differences in regional offices. After talking to some other members on this board, I've heard that ABN has a fairly decent presence in Asia-Pacific in addition to its strength in Europe. Sounds like they're still struggling to make an impact in the Americas.
