Hey guys got an offer for HSBC in their London office and i was wondering what the culture and comp is like in their corporate banking arm from Analyst to MD if you have any clue it would be greatly appreciated.
Also is the work modelling heavy? is there lots of overseas travel? is the culture very aristocratic and traditionally british or more fratty?
And how does it compare to their IBD arm culturally
