Do you know what sector / mandate? Culture is tough (can get fired) but comp is good.
Publics only I think, and it’s the Financials team. So pretty niche.
When you say comp is good, what could we expect in terms of Base and Bonus?
Ah ok the financials team has been run out of London for awhile already. Comp can be anything from 400k to LSD million with ~5yoe (assume some buyside exp there). Depends on pnl.
"Can get fired" LOL. As opposed to what, working for the post office?
Avg opinion from British "person" smh
lol why so passive aggressive? Obviously you can get fired anywhere but the leash is short. That’s the point I’m trying to make. Some places give you a lot more room if you underperform for one or two years.
They using a HH or going at it alone?
A lot of misinformation here - Viking London isn't what it's made out to be in the US. Bumped into them at many conferences, have a good friend from US there - London is mostly FIG & some (public) RE - your bonus is highly dependent on Hani. They don't do global ICs anymore, it essentially runs as an independent thing made on the back of the 2011 turmoil - in fact do a lot more Special Sits (and not traditional L/S like the US) with a focus on Insurance have a quick look at them and you'll know
