Anyone get Gifts from firms for holidays?
Anyone get gifts from their firms for the holidays?
Perella Weinberg sent out a nice little beanie with their logo, 3 milk chocolate drenched Oreo cookies, and one of touch screen tools. I’m thinking overall $20 value?
My favorite will be Blair getting a cameo from Kevin Dillon (Johnny Drama on Entourage). I’m sure most probably already saw that on litquidity. Hilarious. Rather get that than another yeti mug (think my bank has sent me like 3 of those this year)
That was from Datasite not Blair
Yes from datasite but my point is still the same but I’ve also watched entourage probably 8 times through
Baird got one too.
got the link to the cameo?
My team gets to come back in the New Year - nobody was laid off. It was a difficult year but we somehow survived. best gift ever.
(we had chocolate treats until last year, they were canceled)
Thanks
Your signature ????
you are returning back to the office?
we are returning to the virtual office. all of us, my entire team. we honestly didn't expect that.
all of your contractors, suppliers and support staff were let go though, so it will be half the people, technically.
As an incoming FT analyst, didn’t get sent shit but an associate finally accepted my LinkedIn request from the summer today so life is looking up
Booze, cookies, hat
We got an $200 Amazon Gift Card
Got sent a link to a site that let you select $50 worth of snacks. (incoming SA)
Got some nice bottles of wine a few weeks ago from the firm, though not for the holidays. We always get some nice gifts from brokers around holidays/end of year though, this year I got a bottle of Dom Perignon and a nice bottle of whiskey.
Work at a BB - Got absolutely nothing...
Recently joined a t1 BB we got nothing.
We are tiering BBs in responses now? I’ve clearly been gone for too long.
Oh man can I link you some threads hahaha
Because everyone has to plug their prestige rather than just give an answer.
Q: What is your favorite food?
A: "Long time lurker, first time poster. Currently at a top target undergrad (think Harvard, Wharton) and am trying to intern at a top tier BB this summer (think Goldman, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley) but I might look at EBs too. I hear they have leaner deal teams which might be better for my experience but the BB name and recognition is nice too haha. Like I know experience is good but I just want to shine to headhunters. Really depends on exit opps lmao. Definitely gunning for MF PE (think KKR, Warburg, Blackstone, TPG) after my stint. I like pizza."
You have the joy of bragging about being at a t1BB by posting unhelpful responses in a thread though
Boutique. Got firm branded backpack and polo, as well as a bottle of Caymus 2017.
EVR sent out a virtual holiday card to incoming SA ;-;
Same here for Moelis lol, just an ecard

My parents who never worked in finance, neither did the rest of our entire extended family, for some reason have a wells fargo branded beach towel. Its got the logo and like the horses on it. And none of us even bank with them lol.
Yea wasn't expecting the blanket but I'll take it
Wells putting BB e-card to shame. Must be an image rehab thing.

Will help keep you warm on days you need to sleep in the office
Dude I was so confused when I got the blanket at first. It was unbranded and there wasn't a card in the box so I was wondering who would send me a blanket. Then I checked the shipping label and realized it was from Wells.
Work at a BB. Got wine tumblers with their logo on them and some chocolates. Think this MDs choice, though. Some of my friends in other groups didn't get anything.
my old boss once gifted a 28k Jeep wrangler
Gave out a chocolate holiday gift basket, branded North Face jacket and two bottles of wine with accompanying cheese to my direct reports (7). Maybe $3K all told.
Holy hell, what bank is this?

Incoming EB summer analyst...didn’t get shit

A homemade cocktail kit from the firm and some confectionaries from the boss.

£50 gift card of my choosing and a hamper containing a high-end panettone and Bollinger champagne bottle - Consulting EB

MS gave out a 1k bonus to “rank and file” employees which included first years
I got a nice promotion that came with a fat raise just prior to Christmas. New salary will make 2021 a wonderful year!
any news on lazard?
backpack, some received gift cars (admin staff?), office gadgets, there were a few mouse pads around and pens. they also promised a "gift to remember" once we are out of the pandemic.
Got a holiday staffing
Got AirPod pros, pretty sick. They laid off wayyyy too many people earlier this year so probably had some extra expenses laying around. analysts and associates also got a large “stay bonus” to make sure they don’t bounce after getting our actual bonus next month.
Sounds dope! Which bank??
