I thought SSG was technically under "investing and lending" (maybe they call it something different now) where they're deploying the bank's capital in private / structured credit deals. Basically lending out money like a bank is supposed to do. Maybe they syndicate out some pieces? But I doubt they are punting around in these types of securities, imagine they are super illiquid. Anyway I think that's why they can still have SSG

 

I thought the volcker rule forbade banks from having hedge funds; but even if one exists, why are you limiting your search to hedge funds owned by banks? Why not also consider working at a standalone hedge fund? Or if you're willing to work at a bank-owned hedge fund, then why not consider working at the rest of the bank?

For most roles, the day-to-day work at a bank is not that different than the day-to-day work at a hedge fund. The comp is sometimes (not always) higher at hedge funds, but if you're willing to work at a bank owned hedge fund anyway, then you'll be in the bank's pay-range rules so I wouldn't expect it to pay better than any other role.
