Hi - quick question. Was listening to some of my MD's speak on this subject and I wanted to know - is there a specific difference in terms of both process, and risk?

Obviously if after underwriting a TLB, no one wants to buy it - you're stuck with 300mm in paper. Is this the same idea for bridging a high yield issue?

Thank you in advance (and please don't hesitate to tell me I'm completely wrong if so)

So, I want to know an appropriate hairstyle for investment bankers. I, generally, like to spike my hair up, but I'm not sure if that is appropriate in the IB world; here's a link of my hairstyle:

Look at the guy in the picture. Obviously, that's not a picture of me, but of someone with a similar hairstyle.

I know some of you are probably thinking, "What the fuck kinda question is this?" I know it's quite a dumbass question to ask, but I know bankers are anal about the smallest shit; so I don't want to standout for my hairstyle.

If this is not appropriate, please let me know what styles are appropriate for bankers.

Thanks for all your help guys, and God Bless!

i want to break into IB but major banks do not do OCR at my school in January-Feb when the resume due dates and interviews are. If i go to their website career section, they simply say to check with your school career center for dates. How can i still apply and make sure I am considered for the position?

Does anyone here market make Japan cash? I'd like to speak over PM. I have an offer to trade Japan for a bank, but I'm worried about exit opps and transferability of skills.

Thanks

I've got a summer analyst offer for a BB in London. Background check is coming soon, just got a few questions!

In England, we do GCSE exams when we are 16, and A-levels when 18. On my application and CV, I misstated my GCSE result.... I said I got X Astars, whereas in fact I got X Astars and 1 A

Is this an issue? Panicking a bit....

I just went to their site and they're offering a "slim" line for their suits. Goes for $270. Now during their promotions where they give you basically 2 extra free suits, shirts, ties, etc.. Is this not a good deal?

If you're buying a slim suit for $270, you can go to a decent tailor to put in some upgrades. Then you can also do the same for the suits and shirts. Anyone buy from them?

Where would you put this position within WSO forums? This is for a bank.

"Digital Analytics Manager in Branded Cards Decision Management"

Is this corporate finance? Consulting? If I had to discuss this job, which forum here would I ask?

Thanks!

Hey guys!

I'm interviewing with a FIG group and need to read up on bank valuation specifically and FI valuation in general. I am looking for a Rosenbaum-style book, such as Bank Valuation for dummies. Any recommendations?

Cheers

I'm interested in working FT at a BB in a regional office that is fairly small (around 30 people) with about 10 analysts. The school I go to is a regional target so we have a few alumni there and I've met a few people at the firm already. I've had drinks with 2 analysts, coffee once with another 2 analysts, and met an analyst at an info session. I've also had a call with a VP at the firm earlier. One of the analysts I got drinks with said he could set me up with some other analysts that I haven't met yet and aren't alumni. I'm just wondering if I'm being too keen and may be "over networking" with this one office. Should I focus on the people I know now or should I try and meet all the analysts/associates I can?

I'm currently an SA at a boutique IB firm who's summered in NYC the past two summers; lived in NJ for a long time before settling in different a suburb of a metropolitan area the past 10 yrs or so (permanent home).

I've always had this idea NYC or bust, and while I still have that for the couple few years after finishing school I've started having different outlooks. I met some true southern people over the summer and it got me thinking again what if I moved to somewhere in the south in the future? Somewhere like a Texas?

Besides the obvious stereotypes, what is your opinion on the Southern parts of the US? I've lived in the east coast, well developed parts all my life. What drastic changes might I face? Also, will me being non-Caucasian hurt me in some ways? (serious question)

Does anybody have a research report for a financial services company they wouldn't mind showing me, preferably for an insurance company (a bank would work too though)? I am really trying to get a grasp on valuations/important metrics for these firms and would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Question about Commercial Real Estate, which is listed under DB's "Corporate & Investment Banking".

Is this an IB group where you do M&A, debt raising...etc etc? Or is this more like Jones Lang Lasalle where you invest in physical properties, rather than in REITs?

Lets say I wanted to open an Investment bank what destination would be the best .
Would it be Hong Kong ? Singapore ? Cayman Islands ?

My first choice would be Hong Kong but since China has plans to re absorb it completely by 2020 it can prove to be a place of High political risk .

Any thoughts.

Thanks

I had a super day with a bulge bracket bank in new York in February. I didnt end up getting an offer. They paid for my airfare but they also gave me a form to fill out if I wanted them to reimburse for meals and other transportation. That day, I paid for a taxi and a few meals. I haven't submitted my receipts or the form yet. Would it look bad if I sent in the reimbursement stuff now since its more than a month later? There was no deadline on the forms.

Hi all,

I'm starting full-time as an associate (S&T) at a bank early June. (If you are starting in July, I can probably scrape by with the expectation that you will move in beginning of July). I am a single male in his mid 20s. Studio rent is looking pretty steep in the $2500-$3000 range (and inventory is thin), while 1BR rent is looking much more reasonable at around $3000-$3500.

I'm looking for a single (as in one person) roommate for a 1BR June lease in Battery Park (buildings such as Tribeca Pointe, 22 River Terrace, Liberty Court, Riverwatch, etc.). My price range is between $1500-$2000.

I have a superday this week with the Securities division of GS. It is for a sophomore program, and I am from a non-target school. I posted a few weeks back in a different forum but didn't get a lot of responses. After searching around I couldn't find anything extremely close to my situation, so I wanted to see if anyone had any additional advice or information since this is my first superday.

Also, if anyone else has been invited to this superday maybe we could get a group and get dinner or something after to discuss how things went.

Thanks!

Are DB and JPMC 2012 SA Superdays all over? Applied through an associate (at each bank) contact but I haven't heard anything. Both are for IB

Note: I'm a non target

So this may be a silly question, but I have no idea so I am going to ask you guys. I have a small bank from my home town that I use, but I want to use a bigger bank that is widespread in NY for when I start working. I waited until I got a job because I thought that if I got a job a JPMorgan, I would get a Chase account, and if it were Citi I would get a Citibank account, etc. I thought it might not look that great if I worked at Citi and had a Chase bank account, etc.

But I am going to be working at Goldman, so what bank do you guys recommend me using? Preferably one that has an ATM somewhere close to 200 West St

I have an internship for summer 2012 in a big 4 firm for a couple of months within the equivalent of CF. Not sure what I would do if I were made a full-time offer, but at this point in time I know that IB (IBD) is something I want to go into.

What I am wondering is if that internship will be enough to get me past the application stages? I need to stand out in some way, I don't go to a target uni although I hardly attend somewhere bad.

Thanks!

I know their pay is much higher than normal but do anyone know what associates/ VP's pull in all in comp? 1st year associate? 2nd? 3rd? 1st year VP? 2nd? 3rd? Just wondering. Oh, and for those who think only Wharton kids get offers there, that's not true. I see they have an associate from Cornell...

Just wondering how banks feel about candidates applying to multiple offices at the same bank for an SA. For example, applying to Citi bank for IBD in both New York and London if you have contacts at both offices.

Their website says they've got the top ranked tech sales trading group and a top tech research group. They also have a bunch of IPO deals listed (some bad ones like zillow, but some good ones too). Has anyone heard of them, worked with them, have any idea where they recruit, comp, etc?

Can you guys explain to me to what extent you think bankers caused / facilitated the financial crisis and whether or not you think their actions ultimately affected the "average Joe"

Thankyou for your help
