From my knowledge of Citi prob not as sweaty as some EBs or BBs but still BB IBD so it’ll be hard work long hours as a baseline. Not sure if moving from Gugg to Citi will be a major hour improvement but there might be other reasons to or not to make the move
I'm surprised you're calling Guggenheim low-tier. I would say Guggenheim > DB,UBS , and there are some groups at Guggenheim that are doing as well or even better than other fin institutions (TMT, Healthcare, esoteric structured products). Additionally, their pay is really good.
The most important question is which group at Citi are you moving to? There is so much turnover that no one will figure out who you are while posting anonymously on WSO lol
Also agree that Gugg is solid place
dude im trying to move from citi to gugg but i'm in dcm/ecm not coverage lol
I would personally prefer to be at Gugg over Citi, unless you are at one of Citi's 1-2 best groups vs. one of Gugg's worst. Or if you intend to leave finance, then Citi makes more sense I guess
Goes Gugg have a solid presence in Hong Kong?
What is worse nazisim or communism?
Prob nazism? Both seem fairly bad…
Agreed, nazism
Def could be pretty sweaty, I was at another division at the bank and constantly work with junior team in IB that seemingly are up until 3am
