Considering all the people you know or have worked with in the past, share which bank they worked at and (optionally) the horror stories that accompanied them.

Can you elaborate?
Least likable people: your bank
Most likable people: my bank
Well played
Moelis
I’ve found juniors at Moelis to be fine, it’s more of the mid and senior level people that seem not great
Guggenheim
Didn’t their UK office pretty much just open. Also why is this your sole comment on a 4 year old account haha
it's that serious lool

Moelis, Evercore
Seeing Moelis too often, one of you have to share your experience. Would be cool to hear the evercore story too
Moelis, always. But pretty surprised to see Evercore.
Everyone I knew at Evercore was pretty chill, except like 2 associates.
Some MDs were very straightforward, I guess that might come off as rude. NYC office or somewhere else?
UK Thread so most likely London office
IMO it's usually those who work for LMM banks or small boutiques somewhere in an alternative city. Big fish in a small pond mentality with those people.
Working banking hours and doing tons of menial grunt work but when you send your resume out and nobody (even in finance) has even heard of your bank must be so demoralizing
Lazard
Jefferies and Greenhill
140k base btw
Natixis (they have an investment bank btw)
Also interested
This is an oxymoron
