Jefferies SA IBD

I still see a few summer analyst internships at Jefferies, does anyone know if these opportunities are in fact still waiting to be fulfilled? I thought their recruitment was completed in November, but seeing that some of them are still on their website has me thinking...did a few analysts revoke their acceptance after receiving better offers?

Is it worth reaching out to the bankers at the respective locations to inquire/gain some leverage before applying?

Also, I live in northern new jersey and 14 miles away from their offices. Is it reasonable for me to commute everyday as to save money on housing in NYC which can be exceedingly pricey?

 

I was considering either driving daily and paying for monthly parking or asking them about their policy concerning late night firm-sponsored travel. It'll save me a ton of money and it's only summer employment. Full-time employment, I'd be living in the city.

 
analystforhireYou'll be making like $1500/week and probably $1-2K bonus, and not sure if they pay OT, but even on that, throw down some dough on a place with some friends.

I'm not in the industry yet, but is it more common for banks to TT a weekly paycheck to your bank account or hand it to you in person? And do they do it by week, biweekly, or by month?

 

to answer your question, deal teams are smaller. so more exposure in that sense but potentially more work and responsibility. so both good and bad. to be honest, i am not a big fan of the generalist program. you're going for breadth rather than depth. probably good groups to get in on are restructuring, LevFin, healthcare, shipping, media sees some interesting stuff too. tech is decent too, but tech is bigger/badder on the west than the east.

seriously do not recommend commuting.

 
analystforhireEnergy and Healthcare are the top groups, BTW. LevFin, A+D, and shipping are next, and they also hired a ton of FIG people recently I believe, if that's your thing.

Do all NYC IBs have energy groups?

 

Yeah I've read that they've been killing it within the healthcare, energy, and tech sectors although tech is somewhat limited...

As it is a generalist program, would it behoove me to make as many possible contacts within the groups I'm most interested in? Does there come a point where you are staffed to a certain group later on in the summer?

Do you not recommend either public transportation or commuting daily with a car? Keep in mind I live relatively close to their offices.

 

I'm taking a Jefferies SA offer on the west coast in their SF cleantech group and I'm debating the commuting/living in SF question as well. From previous analysts, it seems that living in the city would be best regardless of the costs. Developing the relationships from drinking with your team/meeting other company contacts is much more valuable in the long-term.

Btw, please don't troll but any honest opinions on jefferies SF cleantech group? I'm more of a TMT guy but I really liked the SF team; still thinking about potential Foster City tech for FT.

 

the 75/25 number is spread out across the firm's geography, so there's not gonna be 75 analysts in NY (more like 25-30). The generalist program is great for getting used to several industries but after 2-3 weeks you find your niche and work with a few groups multiple times, especially the busy ones.

Culture is pretty great and some of the senior guys are very chill despite being very successful. Hours, etc. vary pretty heavily from group to group. They average on the lighter side for most but some of the newer, leaner groups are often 100+ hours. Modeling/senior exposure/deal experience is really luck of the draw, partly depending on your staffer and on your rapport with certain groups
