CS Groups

I would appreciate Feedback on various IBD groups at CS for a fulltime Associate role. So far my ranking is as follows:

1. Financial Sponsors - Great dealflow. Difficult to get in.

2. M&A - Great dealflow. Anybody know about the group culture? I have heard that M&A is a pretty tough group in terms of culture/hours etc.

3. Technology - I wonder how good is the Technology group in NY?

4. Healthcare - Any information?

Investment Options?

Assuming you had $500k in liquid cash. Where would you invest it?

Associate Bonus Numbers?

People, lets compare the the Associate bonus numbers?

I guess I will start. My full first year (not the stub) was $180k. Let the games begin!

IB - Corp Fin to S&T in a Bank?

IB2007 — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 14:32:49 -0500

Just wondering if it is possible to transfer from IB (Industry or product group) to trading in a Bank at Associate level? I completed a Summer Associate internship at a BB and I have an offer for 2007. After talking to people working in S&T, I am leaning towards S&T. Any ideas / comments?

CS Groups?

IB2007 — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 14:28:20 -0400

Couple of questions regarding CS:

1) What Groups are good to start as a First Year Associate?

2) Which Groups have good people/culture/work environment etc.?

3) Which Groups have good (make that decent - who am I kidding?) hours? Which groups have worst hours?

4) Which Groups provide the best exit opportunities (PE/Hedge funds/VC)?

Thanks in advance.
