How about London/HK/Tokyo/SG/Australia/Dubai
Sorry idk know where those places are RAHHH 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅
Honestly I'd move LA down to Tier 3. There are a couple of great shops and groups there, but the media industry is very concentrated now, and finance isn't seen as prestigious as working in media there (if that prestige is something that's important to you)
Facts but it’s LA
Prestige is very important to me. Thinking about lateraling from M&A at a tier 2 BB (BAC/Citi/Barclays) to janitor at Centerview. Thoughts? Will this impress more girls at The Spaniard?
Buddy’s never been to LA
I love WSO tier lists what would I do without them
Bump
HTX Tier 2 fr
too much dealflow to ignore
Upside to SF is tech deal flow
Downside to SF is you're living in SF
Tier 1 - NYC, London
Tier 2 - HK, SF
Tier 2.5 - LA, SG, Tokyo
Tier 3 - Paris, Toronto
Tier 4 - Houston, DC, Boston, Melbourne
Tier 5 - Charlotte, Salt Lake City
Forgot Frankfurt
but why does everyone from london want to move to NY but not the other way around?
London in it own tier 1.5
salary is generally higher in NY and with more opportunities in general
Put some respect on Charlotte
Being French and having lived in Tokyo for the past two years, you guys don't know what you are talking about when it comes to Japan.
M&A analysts here make 8-9 million yens base salary working in a Japanese IB environment, so IB hours with 0 fun. And the yen is worth nothing nowadays.
Meanwhile half of my team when I was in IB in Paris was originally from London because they would basically get the same salary in Paris with a far lower cost of living.
Seems I made a great list
Atlanta?
Didn’t even know there was banking there
