Had my last round at Jefferies in London last week and it went well. What are the current hours across the various M&A groups? What is the A1 salary?
Anyone knows the current dinner and taxi stipends?
Many thanks

The M&A group is one group (m&a product) not sure on your first question
On the rest it’s £70k base, for A1 expect 50% or so bonus if you’re lucky
£25 deliveroo / uber whatever needed
Hours are bad just like most teams at Jefferies in London
Thanks for the input. I meant the teams within the M&A division - any color on whether hours vary between them? And on hours more broadly, any rough sense of weekly average? Appreciate it.
It’s one team i.e. a generalist team.
Maybe I haven’t been clear (and I am not sure how you don’t know what you interview for…)
There is no “M&A division”. Jefferies is split in product teams and sector teams
Are you interviewing for the M&A product team (which is one generalist team that supports sector teams on M&A deals -usually takes care of process / model / admin / etc. They usually work with industrials / business services / healthcare / TMT)or for a sector team?
Is this like MS M&A group
Quick question on the hours and culture? are seniors supportive/ understanding?
Are hours managable? i.e not 4 AM finishes every day of the week+ weekend work?
Supposedly Jeff London has better culture than US, and most posts are on US so keen to hear about how things are in London!
