IB product groups with great WLB across the street
Title says it all. Any insight on which groups live a much better life than someone in coverage? Specifically at the associate + levels. Tired of working 80-100 hours a week and hate modeling but think I there are some interesting product groups out there that can keep me in banking and live a better work life
Cap markets works closer to traditional market hours from what I know
I have a friend at a BB ECM group who is up at 1am with me most nights…i think it’s very group dependent. His MD just makes his team work and do nonsense as if they were coverage. Not sure how it is across other ECM groups across the street.
Well 1am is pretty excellent I'd say
My buddy in DCM at a BB is pulling $250K base + 50-150% bonus as a VP working 55/60 hours a week and no weekends
this is the way
Ooof, that's some hot salami!
Anyone with a list of groups?
-Moelis L.A. Office
-JEF Houston
-BMO Metals & Mining
-Goldman TMT
-RBC M&A
-Laz/Evercore/Ducera Partners Restructuring
-Houlihan Lokey M&A
All pretty chill groups full of lifestyle bankers. Type of place where MDs leave the office at midday on Friday's and the IB groups end the day at 5PM with a few beers in the office before going home for the entire weekend and not logging back on until 9:30 - 10:00AM Monday. Hours close to 50-60 and maybe 75 absolute worst case scenario if on multiple live deals.
Houston in general is a lifestyle city :-)
Would second this.
Heard BMO M&M pays top of street and juniors get two protected weekends a year. Buddy says he only works 30-40 hours a week since people aren’t into precious metals anymore and would prefer to have vegan metals.
MM M&A in certain groups are not as bad, especially in cities that aren’t nyc
Hmm from my limited knowledge it seems like Intrepid in LA has a pretty good wlb and the people are happy. can’t speak to hours, etc however
Lev Fin at most BB, they don’t do any modeling
