Have heard sponsors is quite strong. They have both a west coast and east coast team. West coast team is quite small and runs lean.
FSG by far. Then LevFin, REGL, and Industrials.
What about Healthcare, Consumer or FIG? Like non-existent?
DB consumer has been doing pretty well recently https://www.globaldata.com/media/business-fundamentals/goldman-sachs-ro…
DB consumer has historically been strong. They have gone through a bit of a lull since 2019, having lost some key seniors, but are making a resurgence. They also just hired 2 very senior MDs from CS and BAML to be global co-heads.
We found the DB Consumer associate
Consumer has not been historically strong they’ve been one of the worst groups for awhile, IND used to be good but culture is unbearable with way too few juniors to support all the MDs
Curious to hear more about IND and whether they are still considered one of the better teams? Any input on exits, given your mentioned of bad culture? Feel free to PM me if you have info/care to share
Pre 2019 they had a strong consumer team - i'm referring to UK and Europe - which worked on a lot of large cap deals. So Im talking about 5 + years ago. They are getting better again and making the right hires.
Industrials gets good dealflow but as you say, a sweatshop, primarily b/c of i) not having enough juniors and ii) the financial sponsor focused dealflow
do industrials juniors get to model or are they primarily building decks?
id say industrials and tmt are some of the better groups in terms of deal flow, exit ops, experience etc.. ofc lev fin is pretty good but recently been down due to markets
TMT not that great really as some of MDs are pretty random, and the leadership lacks vision. I would probaly say either Industrials or REGL
bumping this. Am at a MM Bank and have gotten an interview with DB in Asia - will appreciate any thoughts
How is Chicago office?
What about tech?
FIG seems to have made major hirings in the recent weeks
hired some really random people
What about TMT? Is DB making a comeback with the recent hires?
Not so much, unless you want to do financing. Generally, telco is somehow there but transactions in broader tech not very common
Second that... also the resources are quite unevenly split, and some random things take priority over situations that would really benefit from attention
