GS & Oppenheimer Research Platforms
General thoughts on the research platforms for these two banks? Pay, Reputation? Also if anyone has experience with the TMT research teams here (staying broad to preserve anaonymity) it would be helpful if someone can share.
Would be interested in this also.
GS does not care about its research platform
@ Optimistic
Why do you say that? Just because they dont play the silly II game?
GS still participate II and I think they care about it to some extent.
GS doesn't chase II much at all it seems as I don't think it really matters to them. GS isn't really known for its research. With that said, I would still go with GS over Oppy for sell side research. I just can't see how you'll be well compensated with such a small sales and trading desk. Also, I think that at Goldman your exposure to the buy side will be much greater and you should have better access to company management.
This could just be hearsay, but I've heard stories of very junior and quite inexperienced associates at GS being promoted and getting their own coverage if the senior analyst leaves/gets fired (probably another reason GS research is not an II machine).
curious about this as well. how well do GS research exit ops fare in terms of making it to the buyside - HF's etc?
TMT should generate a good amount of trading volume.
This is an apples to oranges question
As a RA, I would say to go with the better analyst. Non-bb research associates still place well in terms of exit ops but if you have a bad analyst then it really hampers your ability to grow. That said, I'm not familiar with the TMT analysts at the two shops but hopefully that helps
Could someone give me a better understanding of how these platforms work? It it just a portal online where SS ER firms publish their research, available to paid subscribers? How much rev. does this generate?
