Macquarie vs Nomura vs Financo

Nomura just raised their entry levels salaries 150 - 200% and I suspect they did for the SAs as well.

Nomura... no brainer

you didn't mention the capacity but it doesn't matter

Nomura, Macquarie, Financo.

Nomura has good name recognition within the industry and also better than Macquarie. Your exit opps will be much better. Though Nomura's NY division is small.

I read on another thread that Nomura only has 30 people in NY IBD? But they're still better than Macquarie?

nomura ibd is bigger than 30 ppl but tehy're definitely still growing broski

Nomura is global pay - 70/80/90

How do people arrive at these rankings? Personal opinion, league tables, tea leaves?

Nomura is expanding globally. I'd take Nomura over Macbank anytime. You'll see a wider variety of deals and of bigger size

Ok well what about Moelis v Nomura then?

these are all foreign banks, moelis would obvoiusly be better for united states

nomura doesnt even have a big ny ibd practice and macq is laughable and i never heard of financo

If you're interested in retail, Financo. If you're interested in Infrastructure, Macquarie. If you have interests in neither of these, Nomura.

In all honesty though, I don't really know what Nomura accomplishes in the United States. At least with Financo you will have a steady deal flow in interesting retail deals. At Macquarie they have acquired some strong bankers from BBs and have the name in infra.

I would go with Macquarie if you think you can get into an infrastructure group.

Dude you guys are idiots; Pick Financo IBD if you get the chance. They only hire from Wharton so if you have an offer from OCR congrats. They're known as an elite boutique. Hours are tough but the comps better than these other places for sure.

^works at financo, ignore lol
