My roommate works there so I can chime in from what I've heard. Very strong FIG team, definitely sharing the top spot with Goldman in terms of deal flow. They seem to be especially strong in asset consumer finance, insurance, and Asset Management (SoftBank + Fortress was a recent example). Hours definitely seem to be long though as hinted by the other comment I saw above.

Exits have apparently been strong for both FIG and generalist, including Warburg Pincus, Providence Equity, Citadel, L Catterton, Point72, Oaktree in the last year.

Hope that helps

 

know an associate and an analyst there who are really having a great time in the group. 4 different verticals within the FIG group and some of them stick to traditional methods of valuation so you don't have to pigeonhole yourself into doing all depositories related work. analysts and associates will mentor you and the group is very tight knit. They do have long hours but it's bearable because everyone gets along. very few people who get offers for that group don't like their experience should they accept it; interviews are heavily fit based.

 

Also looking at FIG—very interested in the alternative AM/fintech side of things. Can someone add color re: group culture (seems to be a lot of negative posts here, wondering if that's unfounded) and staffing between subverticals as an analyst?
