I was just wondering how this group compares with other groups at banks in terms of exit opportunities, team culture, deal flow and any other miscellaneous factors that I may have forgotten

You'll gain excellent modelling skills, good for infra fund (obviously). Other than that your questions are dependent on bank.
how do gs, ms and jpm fare in the infrastructure space?
does anyone know how GS/MS/JPM are in the Infrastructure/Power/Utilities space? and how strong exit opps are?
anyone have league tables for P&U? Also, as asked above, how strong are the exit opps?
Can speak of European dealflow and league tables. Citi is on top of the league tables with JPM and GS. You gain deep modelling skills and many times transactions are asset based (wind farms, transmission lines, specific plants)
Heavy hours, loads of regulation, different remuneration schemes for each country and for each technology (wind, solar, hydro...) . Resuming you get in depth exposure to modelling but expect heavy hours in doing so.
Exit Opps: There a megafunds who invest solely in utilities/renewables/infra.
Read my response and figure out where Lehman IB went.
Yeah, I saw that. Looks like most went to Barclays from what I see.
Exit Options (GIG, Infrastructure and Power/Utilities) (Originally Posted: 04/29/2009)
I have seen several posts on here about exit options and I am fairly clear about the exit options for some of the groups in banking like FIG, Lev Fin, M&A that have been discussed on here in depth. However, I'm curious if anyone has any insight as to exit options for bankers in the following coverage groups:
Industrials Power/Utilities Infrastructure
Thank you.
Any insights?
Infrastructure funds (assuming obama can get his shit together, it'll heat up considerably), power/energy focused pe shops. Some larger buyout firms also have sub-groups that cover these things so it's completely plausible to do that as well. I've also seen a few guys (analysts and associates) roll over to HFs but I think PE is a bit more likely.
power/utilities (Originally Posted: 06/06/2007)
anyone have info on these groups? they are pretty interesting at the moment - especially with new emission regulations and increasing use of alternative energy. how do banks stack up against each other?
and how are the exit opps? from another post, i found out that carlyle had a power/energy buyout group. is this common in large PE shops?
thanks!
1) Lehman
big drop
2) UBS, CS, GS
drop
5) MS...most banks have bankers based out of NYC and Houston
Update?
WSO record - 6+ yr thread revived by jasper90 - I'll throw in an SB for his incredible accomplishment
Where did Lehman's IB group go to?
Barclays, and they have a very strong P/U team.
Energy cultures (Originally Posted: 09/29/2010)
Can anyone speak to the Houston energy group cultures (hours, type of people, etc...)...specifically BAML, Barclays, JPM, Citi (assuming UBS culture transition), and Tudor?
I know or have met some guys from JPM, seem very collegial, laid back.
I'll be able to tell you a lot more about the others one month from today.
.
Where do you get that they are sweatshops?
Shaniqua, why do you say Barcap, BAML, and Tudor have good cultures? Can you pass along anything specific about them?
Great culture at JPM
Can second, talked to a few people from JPM Houston and liked them a lot.
wtf does this mean when people say great culture? thats so vague - yeah great maybe based on your personality but i dont know shit about you. please elaborate for future reference. that is all.
I know, right!?! That's my freaking biggest pet peeve on WSO. If you're going to comment, go ahead and support your assertion at least a little. Just sayin'.
Ugh... all these places are sweatshops. it's called investment banking for a reason.
these posts are ridiculous
I'm going to try and revive this to get some real information. I would enjoy hearing about hrs, scoial aspects, relationship between analysts/associates, and anything someone thinks is useful.
On a side note, does any know about some of the smaller shops (TudorPickering, Simmons, etc...)
Please and thank you.
