The "generalist" means you would have to go through group selection and not know where you will be placed.
fig,nat res,cmg its solid work
CS; buddies at Lehman wonder everyday if they will get the cut everyday due to cost reductions...
Remember, you will always be a salesman, no matter how fancy your title is. - My ex girlfriend
Given the markets right now and no disrespect to Lehman, but CS is one of the better places to be and is currently one of the more stable places to be. Whether you like CS or not, if you can get a job there, take it due to stability. Sometimes that's just as important as liking the firm and group you're with.
Go CS, but FYI CS M&A is a hybrid group ... dedicated analyst & associates supporting officers in the industry groups.
CS IBD is solid.
bumpppppppppppp
I need a professional's advise and input regarding the questions and concerns that I am facing in the midst of changing careers. I greatly appreciate any input and advice. I am 30 yrs old and work in Res. & comm. finance for 10 years. Through the years I have gained very strong contacts. I am constantly being introduced to very high profile clients with high volume projects which I want to be able to take advantage of and put these deals under my belt and build a name for myself in this field. Most of these projects are in the Energy sector as I will explain.
what will I need in order to have a shot in getting trained by any VC, JV , hedge fund or Equity firm or any IB company? I know some of them might be out of the question. I noticed IB courses for $2,000, Im sure it's worth it but will I get hired? I am trying to look for the right industry firm/company that fund high volume projects like an Oil Refinery project, Or a Casino or even a Wind Mill, just as examples. I think I've had enough running around trying to look for people who work in these firms to help me fund these deals. I feel it's time I want to make the move and change my career and to go to work for a firm that does handle these projects.
I've heard of Boutique firms and I'm not exactly sure what they look for in a candidate either. The more I look into this IB side the more complicated it gets..VC's, JV's,Syndicates Don't know where to start to look for such company..!!
I am having trouble distinguishing the right position and name for this field or firm Involved who Invests or can Lend in such transactions/Projects and what it would take to get in these companies? (For example as a Loan Officer, You originate loans then take the application and let the processor do the verifications and so on..
This is what I am trying to distinguish if such model exists that will allow me to bring deals in, do my due diligence on preliminary materials may be that is missing on a deal and make it complete so the firm can fund it whether through JV partnership or VC, Syndications and so on... This is the biggest question that I have ever faced in my life and the answer can definitely change my life as I hope I will make the right decision to pick the right route for my new career.
Many Thanks to all the responses in helping me to find the right route.
