Macro trading desks at BB's
From my understanding, bulge bracket banks have macro desks, where traders trade a wide variety of asset classes such as commodities, currencies, rates, etc. Examples of this include Credit Suisse ' s global arbitrage group. Do these groups recruit mostly sell-side traders from other desks? If one...
Don't you feel like MD's and CEO's are much easier to talk to when you don't know who they are?
A few hours ago I just finished a second round interview at a BB firm. It was a two on one interview. They both were very chill, all the questions were about my experiences but I showed off my bank and technical knowledge in some of the answers. Afterwards I got their business cards and learned that...

Would you take MM PE out of undergrad over BB IBD?
As someone with a school that has postings from both, I always wondered if anyone would consider going straight into PE straight from undergrad. Personally, I'd want the camaraderie of being in a bank, but if you're going to do 2 years in a bank just to go straight to PE , why not start in it? The...
Forget IBD, get your PhD
The Nobel Prize. Once an everlasting testament to human intellectual innovation. A beacon of hope, a searchlight though the clouds over our mind's eye. Today, more akin to an online diploma from a for-profit university . A lifetime achievement Oscar for the likable fellow who never quite shone...

MM in nyc vs. elite boutique in Australlia
I have the chance to potentially interview at a MM in nyc (think HW/BMO) or an elite boutique in Australlia. This would be for junior SA .

Bulge Bracket Security Office
Everytime I walk into the doors of my BB , before I go past those glass gates, there is always a security guard there standing with an earpiece watching people walk in and out. They do this all day.

Underrated banks and the ambitious bastard
Across the boards, you see hundreds of questions regarding exit opps; how to get to KKR ? How does someone get into Paulson & Co .? Questions like these veil the poster’s true motivation: Ambition. “How do you get in KKR ?” really means “How can I be the next Henry Kravis?” and “how to...

The Next Generation
It seems that the Bulge Bracket, as useless of a term that it is, drastically changes quite frequently. In my lifetime, Lehman, Bear, Salomon, First Boston, and DLJ all went under. Any thoughts on which of the current BBs will be the next to go? What will the club look like in 5 years?

Over-Networking?
Is it possible to reach out to so many people at a bank that you develop a reputation for being some sort of politician? Even if you reach out to people in a positive way (i.e., genuinely asking for advice and not pestering any individual too much), could reaching out to too many people hurt you?...
