brokerage firms vs universal bank

sashimi — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 02:59:58 -0400

just curious about the prospects of working in ibd at ibank - would it be better off to go with a brokerage firm (your MS/ML) with strong distribution abilities or universal bank (your JPM etc) that can use their balance sheets and get deals. I'm only talking about their deal flows etc and hold all the other stuff like comps etc constant. thx

- bonus issues, do you have to wait 18 months to get bonus?

my bb in hk doesn't seem to have the 10k sign on/relocation bonus, is anyone else in same situation?
Anyone knows how I can negotiate it? (having already accepted this offer and rejected another better paying one, does it mean I have no leverage to negotiate?) thanks.
