EB analyst perception vs BB
Is it me or when you meet an EB kid you automatically assume they are much sharper / more gifted than the BB kid.
When a kid tells me he’s at like “Barclays” you kind of assume he knows the $10 depreciation question and went to IU Kelly, probably has a Dad at a rival bank.
When you meet a kid from “PJT” they have this aura about them. Sharp. Witty. Charismatic. Lucky even? Idk what it is. Even a more mid EB like “Moelis” or “Perella” just exudes aura. Those motherfuckers know the technicals cold. Complex accounting, mental math, restructuring - you name it.
I cannot say the same about a “BofA” or “Citi”. Feels too institutional. Feels ugly.
Anyway, my insecure VP at Lazard just gave a ton of non value-add comments to this pitch we’re going to lose anyway. I wish she would call me in her office to suck her toes and Viagra bomb me instead.
Goodnight.
plenty of EB kids are just regular anxious nerds but with better PR. Half the “aura” is just them being sleep deprived enough to maintain intense eye contact and say “frankly” a lot
There is just that feeling of exclusivity with small class sizes at EBs
Idk, this just seems like sophomore mental masturbation to me
Every kid going to an EB at my school is a herb
As a newly minted “unc” (by one of my braver analysts) what does “herb” mean?
go sleep lil bro
Congrats on Lazard! Enjoy slaving away for a bank that nobody has heard of outside of finance. At least girls know my firm when I say it (they only know it for being an elitist bank).
Nothing feels better than telling girls point72
Every time I meet an EB kid I immediately fall on my knees and cream my pants
fifth pair of khakis today alone
Touch grass dude
Lol this is actually true tho. A few of my smart friends are at CVP, PJT, PWP, and Moelis. I don’t think they would’ve chosen them over GS but there’s a certainly an argument over the other BB’s.
dude this is the gayest shit i’ve read all month
No lie I remember recruiting for school clubs and when the kids would introduce themselves and what they're doing this summer, every person I thought may be on the spectrum were going to EBs.
I've always wondered what the EB obsession with this forum is.
EB people are strange
Also I don't like the EB culture vs a BB one
Yeah I argee with you remember hearing last year about that PJT RSSG chinese spy who ate dogs and shit.
I dont understand why ppl draw this distinction. Ppl at top BB groups and EBs have significant overlap in personalities and competencies
Why does mental math get classified as rocket science?
So real on that last point bro
I get that vibe from the smaller “polished” boutiques like Centerview PJT PWP and not as much from Evercore / Moelis
Evercore filled with squids
That west village JAP might not have gone home with me but at least now she knows the difference between PWP and JPM.
Tbh I only get this vibe only from smaller boutiques like centerview or qatalyst, not really Evercore, Moelis, PwP or such
I think no hoes fs
I think the comparison could be more like meeting a generic person who works at Barclays vs someone who works at a top group like M&A, TMT or LevFin there.
A lot of these boutiques were founded by former leaders of top groups at BBs. So working at an EB like Moelis is like what it once was to be a UBS M&A or LA / Exclusive Sales & Divestitues.
Working at PJT is like MS M&A
Etc. for the comparison
So given that it’s like comparing the average person at BofA M&A to the average person at BofA in its entirety.
Generally the EBs are focused on one product which is M&A. That product gets headlines, works hard, pays well and all that jazz. It seems to me people just be in aura of M&A or whatever other high paying high money high power job.
Cheers
