Solid mid-market. Associates have success lateraling to BB
I'm start at Raymond James ER in June. I obviously can't comment on the work yet, but culture was great in my opinion. Super stoked to start working there. There are a ton of really smart people working in my group (Energy group - Houston).
Now that you have started how is it going for you?
Great! No complaints on my end. I'm learning a ton, more than I ever would've imagined. I do not regret my decision. In fact, I'm certain I made the right call.
I did ER at RayJ before moving to the buyside. Strongly recommend it! The culture is great, the analysts are brilliant, and they are all willing to spend time teaching you the process. Sometimes hours can be rough, especially during earnings season, but they respect work/life balance outside of the busy seasons. The teams are all very friendly, and the management genuinely cares about the employees. On the downside, the rough hours can be super rough - 90 hour weeks, some weekends depending on your sector. All in, I don't regret starting my career there.
Interested in working for Raymond James in Equity Research (Originally Posted: 01/24/2013)
Hey everyone, I'm a senior at a state university in Florida and I'm very interested in working for Raymond James in equity research. They don't currently have any internships open for that department but I'm curious to know if any of you guys have any contacts within the organization that I can reach out to. If I were to get in contact with a key decision maker, I could possibly convince them to create such a position for me. Please, I would appreciate any help!
Nice, I'm glad to hear such a good review. Also glad to hear you are on the buyside!
Have you tried looking on LinkedIn? It is free and works well.
Try linkedin first.
Well it seems like LinkedIn was a dead end for me. Anyone on here have any connections with Raymond James?
TBH nobody here is gonna give you their connection with Raymond James because their name is at stake looking out for you and they don't even know you from the first place. Start doing your due diligence on Linkedin/company website/fb/google ANYTHING but ask strangers on the internet for their connection
