Are FT Partners, Jefferies, Moelis, Lazard, UBS sweaty across the board
Have offers at 4/5 of the 5 places listed above and understand that they all get a lot of exposure on WSO for being sweaty as fuck. Was wondering how many hours and what a typical day to day (timing wise) would look like from anyone at either of these firms.
Also, do all analysts at these firms have sweaty hours or only if you're on a live deal? and are these firms sweaty across all groups? I have heard that they pitch constantly and so even when there is no deal work you are getting blown up but this fluctuates because I have a friend whos an an1 at FT and he said that he pulls 55-60 hr weeks on average
Sorry a lot here, but wanted to some insight in choosing one of these.
Forgot to add BGL to this list but just wondering if some analysts at these firms have it worse than others
Any group with good deal flow will be sweaty. If I were you I’d just go with the offer from moelis / lazard.
Almost all banks are “sweaty.” Moelis has higher headcount than they used to, maybe it’s gotten a little better? Disclaimer: I do not work there.
Depends on your priorities. Moelis got it’s reputation from the leaked email a while ago, but nowadays they have an increased headcount (increasing further according to HR after the whole GS thing). But as people said above, if your firm has good deal flow, it’s going to be “sweaty”. It’ll depend on you how sweaty you want it to be, either you can try to avoid staffings and blend in or you can take on a lot and stand out (assuming you can actually handle them)
