TOP desk for Sales
Solely from a compensation point of view, what desks would be the more interesting to work on ? Type of product: How would you rank the following ? Fixed Income / Equity / Fx / Commos Clients: Also what kind of client is it more profitable to work with ? Instits / Corpo / Hedge Funds / Asset...
DCM/ECM to S&T
Since the Capital Markets groups sit between the pure IB and S&T functions, does movement occur between the three, either within a firm or just exit opportunities? I understand that the skill sets differ, but every post I've seen on DCM / ECM seems to suggest that analysts in these groups have no...
Best Way Into a Hedge Fund
I was wondering what the most common career path into a large hedge fund would be. 1) Equity Research--->Hedge Fund 2) M&A--->Hedge fund 3) S&T--->Hedge Fund
Do people in S&T actually manage personal/company accounts?
After skimming through the vault guide on Sales & Trading, it seems like all traders do is execute trades for people in sales. Is there any decision-making involved? I thought S&T was about picking investments and managing a portfolio (like what people do at hedge funds) rather than being a...
Do SAs in S&T actually do any trading?
Do SAs in S&T do any real trading or is it more research-oriented? Can you get summer internships in prop trading ?
LAST SHOT
OK....I am from a non-target, I have less than a 3.5 GPA, and I've never had a finance internship. I will be graduating in 2010. I've stepped up in numerous leadership roles and have succeeded proudly not because I'm smarter than the rest but because I've got ballz. I have followed the markets for...
Selectivity of Top Prop. shops vs. BB S&T
Just how do these two different trading gigs compare in terms of selectivity? I know the top proprietary shops like Optiver, Jane Street Capital, First New York, and Susquehanna mostly recruit at Ivy League schools and other top/target schools. A few non-targets manage to find themselves with offers...
The HR for trading is full of idiots
May sound like sour grapes, but I find it hilarious how capriciously they look for potential traders. Ive heard a couple stories of undergrads, even art history majors, simply getting into trading at a BB simply because they go to a top 5. I would have thought trading was different when it comes to...
VBA or C
I'll be doing S&T at a BB this summer and I've been told by a lot of people that if I picked up some programming skills, I would be ahead of the learning curve as an intern. However, some have said to learn C and take that knowledge to help learn VBA when I'm there, and others have said just to...
Getting Out of America
I paid 50k a year to attend a target school, worked my ass off -- got top grades and finally landed a banking job. Now that I've joined I see this stupid ass tax that House of Rep. just passed ( given the political capital to be earned, will prob. pass Senate and get Obama's big sleazy signature )...
How much is job security worth: BlackRock vs. S&T at a BB
So times are difficult and I think now, more than ever, we need to factor in the possibility of actually getting hired after the internship. Considering two internships: BlackRock (outside of PMG) and S&T at a BB (possibly one that is going through a merger)... I hear that BlackRock traditionally...
S&T SA to IB FT?
How will Banks view S&T SA experience this summer when applying for full time IBD positions in the Fall? I'd like to have at least somewhat related experience so I can leverage it when applying in the Fall. Of course, I have applied and been through interviews for IBD SA positions, but the hiring...
ML S&T Interview
Anybody been through the ML S&T interview thus far? Just wondering if I should be expecting anything out of the ordinary.
UBS S&T
Is UBS done recruiting for S&T?
MS interview
I have a MS S&T interview coming up later this week. I've searched around a fair amount but haven't found much info about their desks. If anyone works/interned there, could you post some info/interview advice. Thanks a ton.
Equities Rotation?
Has anyone been through the interview for UBS' Equities rotation SA program in Stamford and NYC? Is this rotation their S&T SA program? How technical/fit was the first round and do you have any suggestions on preparation (besides the typical)? Thanks for the advice.
S&T Clarification
I am using this thread to clarify S&T information that has been inconsistent throughout WSO . For S&T at the BB I will be working at starting July 1st, I am currently reading the bonus clause in my contract right now and I quote "...A discretionary incentive bonus, if any, will be paid to you...
Possible to do S&T or equity research and live...
Is it possible to do s&t or equity research at a BB in NYC and live on Long Island?
Muni Trading
I have an interview for the s&t role on a public finance desk at a bb , basically trading munis . Can someone who is familiar with trading munis talk about whether this is a good area to trade? From my understanding, some people look down at pub fin and trading munis? thx

Lehman filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday, and by late Tuesday had sold its North American investment banking and trading operations to Barclays, Britain's third-largest bank, for the bargain price of $250 million. http://ca.news.finance.yahoo.com/s/16092008/2/biz…
CMU, Emory, IU-Kelly, or USC
Which of these four schools tend to have the largest presence in IB , MC, and S&T? Most likely I will do the BBA program at the schools with a 2nd major in either Comp Sci or Info Systems.
