BofA Exodus: will the last EGRC MD please turn off the lights?

Absolutely staggering number of MD departures in 26 alone. They weren't fired because these guys and gals are moving to better platforms. BofA is not hiring any MDs to replace them except in EGRC. Add to that talk that return offers will be lower than prior years. The low bonuses must have finally caught up with them, or the MDs are jumping ship while their stock is at ATH to maximize the buy out.

HR hasn't given indication yet. Staffer may know but not sharing. 

 

So is Mike Joo a fake banker that nobody respects as head of IB or is he an irreplaceable loss as our fearless leader? Can we pick a lane here?

 

Associate 3 in IB - Cov

Did he have the reputation as a fake banker? Irregardless, not a good look for BofA to scramble for a replacement. Have the bank announced any key hires in the past year? All the announcements have come from JPM, WF or Citi

Not sure why you are commenting on the situation as you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.


Srs at BofA did not like Joo because he was never a banker. He has never been on a deal in his life.

 

It is far worse than it seems too. Just in GIG alone we lost like 6 MDs this year. All good ones too. We have EGRC LARPers trying to cover these spots now since no bodies remain.

 

that is the problem right there. so many departures that there isn't anyone left to step up. heh

 

Cuz the bank sux. I bet the Head of M&A who left for JPM poached her. Ironic since they put Mike joo as head of IB intead of that guy causing him to leave and now MJ jumped ship too
