Anyone know the relative base pay and after bonus total pay for these two? I'm deciding between which one to pursue.
S&T recruiting at Booth
I recently talked to a former co-worker who just finished his first year at Booth. He said that about 95% of the people who get recruited for S&T end up in sales, NOT trading . He said BB trading jobs are insanely difficult to get. I was really surprised by this since I assumed that at booth and...
PhD Accounting? Good or bad?
During my undergrad years, I landed an internship in a risk management department in NYC . Unfortunately due to massive layoffs and budget cuts, I was not offered a job. So as a backup, I decided to pursue a MACC degree and once again try to prepare for a Quant job on wallstreet. Questions about...
Alternative Degrees - Disadvantage?
Hi all, I'd like to ask someone with some industry experience as a first year analyst in S&T . I have just finished a masters degree in aerospace engineering (1st, with honours :D) and I will shortly be starting as an analyst in a large american investment bank. I imagine the vast majority of my...
FI trading at "the private bank"??
Does anyone here know anything about fixed income trading at the 'private bank' division of a top BB ? How different would this be from a more traditional institutional trading job? Are the private wealth advisors the 'sales-people' who would send you the trade orders? Is this even considered an S&T...
Receiving an interview...in MAY
I recently (this past Monday) received an email for an interview for a S&T SA position at a BB firm. Given that it's MAY, and clearly really late in the game, what does this mean? Does this happen because too many people turned down their offer at this firm? Do I have a better chance since most...
Barclays Sales and Trading
I know that it really differs desk by desk, but how does BarCap stand up in S&T? They have improved a lot since the integration of Lehman, and are in the top 3 for a lot of categories. Also, where do you see them going in the future?
Headhunters for Sales and Trading?
Disclaimer: I already tried the search function. Now... I have heard a lot about headhunters contacting IBD analysts to try to fill Associate roles in PE . How does headhunting work for market makers at a BB trying to move to a HF ? If you could lend some insight that would be awesome. Thanks!

S&T Overview and Pay
Can someone here give a good overview of Sales and Trading? I know there are many different types. I'm more interested in how you get clients. How much of the job is coming up with ideas vs. calling clients? How is pay based? What's the typical starting pay for an MBA that starts on an S&T desk?

GS Equities vs. MS Fixed Inc. - Thoughts?
So, it turns out I got offers from both (see an earlier post - it took quite a while) in Sales and Trading (I want to do trading ). I think it is fair to say that Goldman has a slight edge but I don't know about the division, I would definately prefer to do something in the fixed income sphere,...
Destroy this attempted S&T Cover Letter Please!
Hello all, I'm currently applying for S&T spots with a few years out of university already. I've checked with the BB /IB's that are fine with me not being a very recent graduate and will be applying to them. I was in audit and trying to make the switch. I have basically looked at the "Who we are...

S&T in Hong Kong vs. New York
I couldn't find anything in a search, so I was hoping some of you (especially those who have worked in both cities) can talk about what the differences are in terms of the work, the culture, the lifestyle, exit ops, etc. I have a final round with a BB for a fixed income SA position. I know that...

More FT positions in IBD or S&T right now?
I am doing an IBD internship at a boutique bank but I think I'll be more interested in Sales and Trading at a BB when applying for full time positions. However, does anyone know whether hiring needs will be greater (for full time grad) in IBD or S&T? It seems M&A has not really picked up at big...

I applied for IBD in GS HK . But I received an email saying that I have a finance interview with Securities division. Does that mean they think I'm more of a fit to Sales & Trading? What kind of questions will GS Securities usually ask? Thanks!
Would I be crazy...?
