CalTex AnalystA few that stood out to me during recruiting...

Barclays: Relationship managers Citi: Emerging markets access, truly global bank Evercore: Highly-focused

Nice. These company-specific buzz words are what I'm referring to, guys. What I'm not referring to are the typical industry buzz words that seem to drive some people up the wall (I think there are already other threads on the subject).
 

I need someone to help me make a "Shit Investment Bankers Say" video.

IBD in general:

"Can you just drop this in?" "The numbers are not tying." "Let's add some more color to this analysis." "The firm believes..." "To the extent that... " (ugh, HATE this, people confuse this with "if") "Let's get the low hanging fruit." "Let's not reinvent the wheel." "Can we run these 2394820 scenarios?"

And the classic...

"FOOD LOBBY!!"
