Whoa, time to pack up ASAP for the top performers esp with the green shoots in recruiting

 

Already been happening for the past few years. Massive exodus of top performers due to poor comp, deal flow, morale, etc. Highlighted especially in the past few months with the departure of all the Sponsors MDs, new IB management brought in, etc.

Personally watched on my team as all top performing analysts (somewhat expected) and associates dipped out for better gigs. And the only people the bank is able to hire to fill the seats are mid-low performers who are shitty bankers (especially at the senior level), creating a compounding issue.

Low comp/morale/deal flow > good people leave > worse comp/morale/deal flow > hire worse people > repeat

 

Are you guys at 110 base? If so that’s a brutal bonus, sorry to hear, although it’s better than a donut especially considering the market rn.

 

Are bonuses differing by groups (coverage only)? If so is that historically true? Thanks, just a current intern.

 

If you have been following this forum, it’s pretty clear, they are circling down the drain to oblivion

 

I've been off this place since i signed with them and then a friend sent me this lol. Obviously sucks for people that actually work there ft right now, I am just traumatized by the shitstorm my CS/UBS friends just went thru. oh well!
