HL
Tech is WB best group, don’t know about location tho
Two cheeks of the same ass, no big difference
Bump
have heard HL culture super toxic, albeit was not SF
Very group dependent. My group is not at all and know many people that love their teams at HL… tech in particularly I’m pretty sure has a good culture.
HL benfits are superior to every other MM bank except rothschild. So are their snacks
WB is not much better lol. Interned in one their top groups (tech, hc, etc.) and fucking hated the people
suicide
HL every time
Curious why? Did you have bad experience at WB? Or you know someone who did?
Know ppl personally who’s entire cohort didn’t get returns. Bonuses suck, deal flow sucks.
It's definitely WB.
come to HL if you want to be underpaid and fat. 20$ lunch + unlimited snacks/drinks babyyy. Houlihan is basically the witch from hansel and gretel fattening up the kiddies to eat them
Can confirm
WB sucks. Interned there in the
HC group and the people just suck, incredibly two faced. I’m sure tech is the same way since it’s a top group. Can’t imagine HL is all that different.
