barcap IBD
Sankaty
sankaty - fewer people will have the name/experience on their resume, thus will make you more attractive come full-time recruiting
Oh the summer..
Credit Suisse - they have air conditioning. Barcleh's had to shut it off on account of the lehman acquisition.
Sankaty (bain) is much smaller and the strategy consultants said that Sankaty could save money by shutting off the AC.
...I'd take Credit Suisse. You'll be in the same shape with any of these firms (I'd doubt that they'll be going down in the summer, famous last words)The world has changed. And we must change with it.
Even after last quarter's loss? Figure they're planning to sell the AC units.
Thanks for all the feedback! In any other year, it would be an easy choice for me - Bain Capital - but with Sankaty down as much as it is, I'm not sure at the moment.
depends what you want to do after
if still undecided, i'd default to banking - either BarCap or CS - given the higher option value.
I said barcap because they seemed more stable.
My understanding was that Sankaty was down something like -40 to -50% last year. But that could have been wrong
They are down at least 50%, but who cares? Bain Capital isn't going to collapse, they have much higher prestige (much easier to get into top b school), the work on the buy side will be more relevant (less pitch books, etc).
