Stay away unless you’re french, culture sucks
désolé, j'ai sniffé de la cocaïne et mangé toutes les baguettes. Oui oui oui. c'est la vie. Ce n'est pas étrange qu'Emmanuel Macron ait baisé son professeur et elle a soixante-dix ans. Comme ci, comme ça.
French banks in the US (Credit Agricole, SocGen and BNP) are well known for their financing groups as they have big balance sheets. SocGen is very strong for project finance/energy/utility space and have a lot of deals in those industries. Hours and holidays are definitely a big + for French banks, also exits are a - if you absolutely want to go the PE route. Although, if you want to do non-traditional buyside such as project finance / infrastructure PE / something more debt-related you could consider working for a French Bank.
