WFS is good in LevFin (third best on the street behind JPM and BAML) and E&P. But to be honext, exit opportunities are average to very limited, depending on what you want. Most of the LevFin analysts I know ended up at a MM PE firm.
@California Banker
Sorry where are you getting the levfin numbers from? Just curious since I know a couple of people in WFS LevFin and they are exiting to MM PE as well, which would not be in line w/ a third best LevFin team on the street status.
Third best in terms of numbers, not in terms of exits/deals. WF has a huge balance sheet that allows it to win a lot of business.
LEv Fin
Any updated information? How does the WFS Industrials team in Charlotte rank? Are there good exit opps into PE?
Lev Fin exits aren't as strong relative to their deal flow because they don't do as much execution work as the industry groups. That said, the WF brand name will pretty much guarantee you at least a MM PE exit regardless of your group. Depending on the group hours can often be a lot better too. Also, their new monthly protected weekends are pretty great for the work/life balance. You're guaranteed off from Friday at 6 to Monday at 9. Plus two weeks of guaranteed protected vacation time per year.
lol, we get it, you work for Wells Fargo. No need to mislead people, though, saying "the WF brand name will pretty much guarantee you at least a MM PE exit regardless of your group" is seriously laughable. No need to market your firm.
WF LevFin from an execution perspective is far from #3 on the street. WFS will not lead high risk HY financings, not part of their strategy. But they'll will help place a lot of HY debt. Don't be fooled by a league table with 4 footnotes on it.
User39, you're plain wrong re: MM exits. Most 2nd year analysts I know at WFS are still looking for exits.
That said, its a well known bank. The WFS name will get your foot in the door for a lot of interviews (mostly MM. will likely not get you in on your own to the MFs - need other connections). Can't speak to industrials specifically.
Strongest groups there are M&A/E&P. Anyone who says otherwise probably belongs to a different group there or doesn't know the platform.
Wells Fargo Analyst Program: Exit Ops, Analyst experience, Prestige, Groups strength (Originally Posted: 11/29/2015)
Hi Everyone,
I just received an offer for a SA position in WF investment bank. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the exposure and experience you get as an analyst at the bank, as well as whether the exit opps are available if you want them post analyst program. How does the bank currently compare to others in the general landscape? Are there any specific allstar groups?
Thank you
Also have an offer from Wells and would like to ask one's chances of actually getting placed in their preferred geographic location.
