Entering the US IB market without US education
I'm an American citizen, spent essentially all my life in Europe. I might be forced to move back due to family issues. My family are from Louisiana which I think might be helpful to my case. I studied in Portugal and worked about 3 years in infrastructure. I worked for a lender, then a sponsor, then a boutique where I have been for about a year. My experience is very heavily execution dense. I'd be more hopeful to target banks in the south that are energy & infrastructure focused since that's all my experience is. But I am not sure how much weight my lack of US education will have.
I have a friend from school who did an exchange at my school in Lisbon and is now at Jefferies Houston. He complains about the work being endless pitching & no real advisory involved. Other than that, my knowledge of the US market is zero.
What are my chances? Any guidance would be really appreciated!
Yes, that's called being in an office where the flows are bad on a team that's bad. If you want to work mainly on advisory, you either need a boutique that has really good flows, or to move to a place with real deal flows. Because the only teams in Houston that I've personally seen get good flows are Oil and gas.
You are a joke. You can call the JEFF Houston team bad because they're too sweaty, or say the analysts are overly hardcore, but deal flow? Tell me one bank that touches more deals than they do.
