I got general offers recently from Barclays Capital, UBS, and Citigroup, all in NYC.
Group placement won't happen until next year. UBS may be able to give me a group earlier.
Which BB would you pick? I liked the people I met at all these banks...I don't have much time to decide...
I want to exit to PE 2-3 years down the road.






They're all big firms ... I
They're all big firms ... I don't think you have to worry about exit opps. My Analyst buddy from UBS tells me that they may be laying off some people though ... fyi.
On a fringe note ... Barcaps overlooks time square ... should be interesting on New Years ...
I'd go with Citi.
I'd go with Citi.
BarCap hands down... UBS last

fuck citi bar . ubs. citi. in

bar . ubs. citi. in that order.
Did you like all the people
Did you like all the people at all 3 equally? I'd go with whichever people you like better... you're going to be spending 18+ hours a day with these people..
Citi->Barclays->UBS UBS is
Citi->Barclays->UBS
UBS is just so unstable right now that it's kinda scary... I know a lot people jumping ship from UBS
anything but UBS.
anything but UBS.
barcap --> Citi --> UBS
barcap --> Citi --> UBS
Barclay Capital is
Barclay Capital is essentially Lehman's division which Barclays bought with a song after everything fell through. They have been doing very very well and it actually may require some restructuring in the bank because more than 1/3 of the assets of BC are coming from this new IB arm. The are probably the best growth potential imo of any bank on the street right now (in terms of bb). So yeah, BarCap all the way.
UBS is falling apart. Their
UBS is falling apart. Their rainmakers in Houston ditched them for Citi, and their rainmaker in Hong Kong left for Deutsche Bank. The franchise is definitely bleeding right now (it never really recovered)
barclays?
barclays?
how would top middle markets
how would top middle markets like william blair compare with citi and ubs right now?
Citi's m&a is (at least was)
Citi's m&a is (at least was) murdering it for a while. Plus the co-global head is alum from my school, super nice guy. I'd say if you could land that group, put it to #1. If not, agree with all the Barcap statements, especially their DCM group.
see PM.
see PM.
guys..it's a general offer so
guys..it's a general offer so there's no way I could assess my "chances" of landing top groups.
and yes I liked the people equally from all firms.
also, how good is barclay's financial sponsors or leveraged finance groups??
I'd be interested in hearing
Citi's top groups are better
more insights please - i have
not knowing what group means
Citigroup > Barclays > UBS
I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing.
care to elaborate?
Just PM'ed
There is no bad decision
didn't get ay PM from you
Go Barclays if you're unsure.
How is this even a question?
BarCap for sure...... How is
I would probably go with Citi
keep the comments coming guys
Barcap > UBS > Citi
If you want to do
Citi M&A is very selective
