Best finance gigs in Florida?
Me and my fiance met in high school. We both have family in Florida (Okeechobee area). We both want to live Florida, with a preference in the south east area (Palm Beach, Weston, Boca), as to be closer to family. If I were single, I probably would not care as much; the emphasis on being closer to family is really hers.
I looked up IB in Florida and really didn't find too many opportunities. I may be wrong, but it seems like Raymond James is the biggest IB in Florida.
Any ideas on what the best finance gigs are in Florida?
Most opportunities in Florida are going to be in PWM and private banking. RJ is in St. Pete. A few IBs have BO/MO locations in Florida, but as far as FO roles go, you are fairly limited.
Deutsche has an office in Jacksonville.
Baird has an office in Tampa I believe. Know of a few UF kids that summered there.
Are you currently in college? What is your background? My advice for a college student in your shoes would be to bite the bullet and go to the best IB job you can get for two years. Then you will have plenty of opportunities to move back and get into PE in SE FL after that. If you absolutely have to be in FL then go all out for RJ, as it is the best shop in that region.
I graduate this summer from a non-target (FSU). Zero finance experience. My only internship was an academic one in which I was a research intern. I'm receiving a dual degree: 1. B.S. Economics - minor in math - honors in the major 2. B.S. Political Science - minor in business - research intensive bachelor's certificate 3. magna cum laude - overall gpa: 3.8 - upperclassman gpa: 3.99 4. Garnet & Gold Scholar
I'm applying for any finance related job in the Orlando area. I plan on working the upcoming Fall and Spring semester and studying hard for the GMAT. The plan is to get my MSF from a top school (Vanderbilt is the goal), and intern part time while in the program.
There should be a few banks that have LatAm offices in Florida
florida (Originally Posted: 01/20/2011)
Hey all, any investment places down here in florida, I know there are some and Jacksonville and Tampa and down in Miami.
anyone from florida down in here?
H.I.G. is one of the biggest PE firms in Florida I believe, down in Miami.
"Investment places" is pretty loose terminology. Care to get more specific???
sorry i was writing on my phone...
something along the lines of investment banking, assets management, private equity, risk management- or something just to "get my feet wet"
dont really want to leave Florida- would rather do something here
If you are unwilling to leave florida you may find yourself in a tough position. However, if you are so inflexible, consider Raymond James IB, and HIG as they are the only decent shops in FL. Additionally, there are a few boutique PE and IBs scattered around the state, but positions are highly limited.
I too am a FL local, but plan to work in NY for a few years, then make the move back. I would love to build a career in FL, though I acknowledge the importance of cultivating a solid base and skill-set on Wallstreet.
Raymond James in Tampa is the only larger bank I can think of that is actually headquartered in FL. I'm sure there are many boutique shops down there too, as well as some regional offices of the larger banks (maybe some pub-fin offices and ops). Of course there are many different types of funds in FL as well, but those gigs are probably very difficult to get. PWM is probably your best bet if you want to be in a more front office type role... it's certainly not a bad place to be.
yeah i agree staying in florida ill be some what limited.... IBbankedout where about in florida are you?
and whats PWM? thanks!
I was born and raised in Tampa. Had the option to work for RJ, but felt they lacked ambition. Additionally, the exit opps ensuing the analyst stint would have been far more limited.
PWM Private Wealth Management
Most major (even minor) cities have PWM offices for larger banks. There should also be some boutique type AM places around so just do some digging.
thanks all
anyone in here work in the Florida region?
In terms of IB, RayJay be doing big thangs. Almost every bulge has a PWM office in MIA as well. For PE, you got American Capital and HIG
gracias amigos
PWM/PB/RIA in Florida (Originally Posted: 04/04/2016)
Curious if anyone knows the PWM/PB/RIA industry in Florida. Obviously a lot of money is migrating there from the northeast as older folks retire. Does anyone have a good understanding of the job market in Florida for the PWM/PB/RIA industry? A lot of demand? Lack of supply/talent? If analysts generally make somewhere around 75k-100k in NYC, what's the number in Florida given lower COL/no income tax.
There are a lot of offices in south Florida... but if you don't speak Spanish in Miami, don't even try.
wrr
you need a better understanding of what PWM firms do. I'm sure on the PB side there are analyst opportunities, but you sound like you should do some more research.
but yes, south florida is, and always will be, one of the best areas for wealth management, unfortunately the competition is stiff.
a lot of firms, large and small, but they all seem to request a fluent spanish speaker
GS Opportunities in Florida? (Originally Posted: 01/21/2011)
So I noticed that there are many GS locations in Florida. Are these good places to work? I've never seen any talk about GS FL locations before, and I was wondering if they're worth mentioning.
Probably all PWM offices since Florida is a mecca for wealthy retirees. I wouldnt think they would have any product groups there.
Also in the same position here. Strong interest in PE and IB. Just graduated college and looking to stay down here in Florida. Any opportunity for starting out?
