Help with offer decisions.
I’ve got the Jefferies IBD summer, BNP sales and trading summer, and a grad offer with KPMG for accountancy.
What are your thoughts on these offers, which would you take, and what will stand me in the best stead for a career?
Jefferies IBD without a doubt
Thanks. Is it going to count against me if I want to move into a BB later?
Worries about exit ops/ whether its worth doing a masters and applying for BBs
Jefferies is a strong brand name. I’d put it ahead of a few BBs.
Jefferies
Jefferies won’t have a problem with exits. I’d shoot for healthcare, LevFin, or sponsors
Thank you!
Don’t do sponsors
Jefferies IBD obviously
Maybe obviously but worth applying for masters and trying to get EB//BB role? Don't want to be at a disadvantage regarding exit ops
Jefferies is a strong brand name in the MM space, not to mention your only actual IB offer. People at Jefferies have solid exits, both to buyside and laterals.
BNP is a crappy brand name and S&T. If you want to do IB in the US, no idea why you think doing non-IB at a crappy bank is going to help at all. And accountancy is a joke relative to actual IB if you're trying to get into IB. No shame in working there and it certainly won't "count against you" whatever that means
My advice is to get the chip off your shoulder about Jefferies. It's a solid bank, rising rapidly in the past couple of years.
Jefferies without a doubt. Unless you wanna do S&T, then maybe do BNP, but that Jefferies offer is still lookin nice.
Do you want to do IBD or S&T? Do you like accounting functions like audit or tax better?
I would personally take Jefferies IBD because the guys I know there all seem to like it, but this is more of a personal decision. You need to figure out what role interests you more.
If you stick with audit for 2-5 years and you likely will end up with offers for high-level management positions at client firms, also other firms (treasure, controller, CFO). headhunters will find you.
... no you won't. Maybe a treasurer / controller role after 8 years
Jefferies, dude.
