Layoff Package

sol — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 12:51:30 -0400

Can any one enlighten me on first/second year analyst layoff packages?
NYC-BB-IB Is it three months salary and benefits (health,life,etc)?
For first year analyst,is it most likely that there is no required payback of relocation/signing bonus?
Any help offered with new job hunt?

Thank you.

Thought I would post this for those that might not be aware.

This is what many HR, analysts, associates and who knows who else do during downtime. It is really easy to find out lots about potential recruits and new hires.

No stone unturned.

Company Benefits

Anyone ready for an adult conversation?

Do most Banks offer similar benefit compensation--such as health care, 401-k matching,life insurance, paid unused vacation time, etc.? How much, if at all, did this factor into your choosing your place of employment?

I am in London now, potential offer in NYC ( IBD Ass. lateral) and the benefits certainly vary from where I am. Is there a large difference in US Banks?

Thought we could start a new topic thread for all of us with muli-national and linguistic skills as well as econ/business/finance backgrounds or education.
