Applying to Boutiques in India and the US...advice?
Hi,
I'm a junior that is looking at applying to boutique investment banks in India and the US, and I was wondering if you all can help me out with a couple of things:
For the US, when is the best time to contact regional boutiques for summer analyst positions?
For India, I was wondering if there is a good list of boutiques or BBs for Delhi, Bangalore, or Hydrabad somewhere or if someone has access to cap IQ and can pull it up for me (bananas can be given and Delhi would be preferred if you only want to do one)? Also, how can I make sure that the investment banks in India do M&A work and aren't just back offices/KPOs?
Thanks in advance!
I dont think any bank is based out of Delhi or Bangalore (except for Backend). Backends are mostly clearly specified. All front offices are in Mumbai. All the BBs have offices in India - MS,GS, JPM, ML, Nomura, CS, Barcap, DB, RBS, Rotshchild etc. No access to capIQ sadly. Some Indian IBs also operate out of India like Anand Rathi, Edelweiss etc. Deal volumes are not great and working on India specific deals out of Sing/London/HK is recommended. Some operate out of Singapore office for the IBD/Trading functionality and HK for trading functionality.
Cheers!
I'm pretty sure that I saw Lazard, Jeffires, Nomura in Delhi, but how does one tell if this is front or back office stuff? I definitely am not willing to do back office, but I really, really want to do IB in India.
I'm pretty sure Nomura is mainly BO stuff. I know someone who had a paid internship there, hated it. The branch there was basically lehman BO (unless they have multiple locations).
