I keep seeing Natixis mentioned in comparison to middle markets. I haven’t heard much about them but they recruit at my uni.
What is their IBD group like if any? What’s comp and exits like from there?

in EU no, they have a lot of boutiques they bought + Natixis Partners
They do IB in Europe and the US… They’ve acquired Solomon Partners, Fenchurch Advisory, and other small M&A boutiques. Primarily known for Capital Markets but are expanding their M&A arm
i'm talking about Natixis CIB, they don't do M&A deals
Lol what is natixis then if no IB? Moreso of a corporate or commercial bank?
We know it’s you James29K
The bank is still ass and making 8 different accounts to post about it won’t change that
He’s probably that creepy corporate finance manager that has 100 wso logins
The guy who’s almost 50? I heard he’s not even in front office
Hahah look the guys instantly jumping into the post to comment more on several of his accounts, been like what, a few minutes?
What does bro have against Natixis.. you intern at a Search Fund stop talking.
we know that's you james, stop hiding brother
Somebody is salty they didnt receive an offer from Natixis. (Also… OP isn’t me)
Can the people who work in commercial banking please f*ck off the IB forum thx
Natixis is IB dumbass, its literally named “Natixis CIB”
They do commercial lending
Yeah - I’ve noticed quality of posts and comments have declined a lot lately, as if most the commenters are of back office intellect now, rather than front office
blud couldn’t stop yapping about Natixis on two different accounts… watch bro hopping on both of them to defend this lol
Bought Leonardo a few years back. Respectable MM firm in Europe. most seniors stayed on I think.
If in continental Europe, it’s not too bad depending on the country. Think generalist mid cap m&a
I feel compelled to specify: it’s not close to BB or EBs…
Leonardo was bought by HL
Think their NY team only does financing… however they own various M&A boutiques with huge network such as Solomon Partners in the US and Vermilion Partners in Greater China
Do you know anything about Vermillion?
I’ve heard that Natixis bonuses are usually low compared to places that do IB, which may not be a good comparison given Natixis doesn’t do IB. Guy I know was an associate there and received 10k bonus on a 130k base, middle bucket supposedly
Confirming bonus - my roommate works there and that’s usually the norm
I think this depends on year. Most recently I know for bonuses A1 25k, A2, 35k, As1 (stub): 35-40k. Would be hard to believe the guy was middle bucket if he got 10k. There was an analyst that got something low like 7.5k or 5k recently, but the team didn't like them.
Bonuses are very group dependent. Some associates clear well above six figures in bonuses and your bonus percentage jumps starting at the VP level.
This is true. Associates range from 10k-150k based on group. They only have a few teams that drive PnL (Aviation, Lev Fin)
Jaaaaaamesssssss…I seeeeee youuuuu Jamessss….
-
Why are their bonuses so low?? Do they only work a few hours a day?
Its a European bank so there is a huge emphasis on work life balance. It pays well salary wise, but bonuses wont be as high unless there is good deal flow.
Before this james29k guy insecurely spammed Natixis threads I would have viewed them as an okay bank but now he's made them the new northwestern mutual
I dont work at Natixis, couldn’t give a shit how you view Natixis. I’m French and wanted to spread the word about Natixis as its prominent in Europe. Confused why the Americans are so butthurt about this, its a great MM firm.
Leave it to their marketing and sales teams, almost all the comments here are just referencing you.
Lol all I’ve concluded from reading through this dogshit post is that that “MD” from supposedly natixis probably works in corporate or commercial banking, and only got a 10k bonus (practically severance for them to tell u to piss off elsewhere)
Also why does some corporate finance manager have 100 wso logins, if he doesn’t even work in IB or even CB?
Lol google Male Loneliness Epidemic -
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/09/18/health/male-loneliness-epidemic-well…
Ah yes that makes sense. The 100 wso login manager should check out AI friend or AI girlfriend apps, probably easier for him to cope with whatever he has going on than making Natixis circlejerk posts where 80% of the commenters are probably his little Smurf accounts arguing with each other
I heard from a completely reliable and unbiased source that they are a ‘tier 4’ bank most comparable to Blair and Santander and miles ahead of trash HSBC - Natixis do so much more M&A! I trust they’ll soon get to ‘Tier 3’ on James29’s new list - so they will then be in the same tier as PJT
Lol how did the entire team not quit after 1 year of working there
Also wondering
Not really any IBD in the americas. Maybe a project bond here or there. There's an ECM group of 2 people but they haven't closed a deal ever. Mostly just financing. LevFin and the real assets (infra, aviation, real estate).
keep throwing monkey shit but this is literally true. All natixis does is financing and zero advisory work.
In the US they are focused on Capital Markets, PJ Solomon in the US which is a subsidiary of Natixis is focused on M&A
Current Natixis AN3 here.
Yes we do have an IBD group. Currently sit in TMT. We advised Elon Musk in his Twitter buyout. Not sure why some knuckleheads on here keep calling us MM when we are clearly EB.
You were a junior in college 3 weeks ago according to another post. Congrats on making an3 so fast James.
LOOOOOL
They are a great MM firm comps similar to that of Societe Generale and CA.
Eh idk about that, plus bonuses are only 10k there
Are you talking about bonuses for analysts? Its more so 20-30K, 10K seems low. Glassdoor confirms
Yeah I know a couple people from Natixis from several years ago and their bonuses were usually around 10k
Are you sure it wasn’t 10%
Friend said his bonus from 2021 was 10%
Is acquisition financing part of IB? We had it grouped into a different division moreso in markets / DCM floor
Sounds like probably dcm
Can only speak for Natixis TMT team. Old STRH / WF banker, who's now the group head trying to build out the practice. He also started the Media / Telecom practice in legacy STRH. I worked with him before he took some time off, very old school. Work hard and play hard culture. Think wolf of wall street movie scene. Sweaty in pitching and occasionally close some deals. During my time under him, pay was relatively good. Very fratty culture when I worked for him many many years ago. Group was essentially run like a fraternity, and people either like it or hate it. Deal flow was not strong as any new player that's trying to setup shop. From what I heard old STRH TMT, now Truist TMT is doing ok but culture still very much the case. Sweaty and run like a fraternity.
Is this tmt corporate banking or IB?
So they only have dcm?
