Just Tell Us What Firm Your At.

.

then on the opposite end, analysts will be like "my bank started a famine, killed my family and runs red lights but I won't name them" while posting on anon 

Corporate-Slave

Some people when talking about what firm they work for make it blatantly obvious lol, just say what firm your at for proper advice and stop trying to inflate your ego.

Ex. I work for a solid bank, think (GS, JPM, Truist).

So what bank are you at?

I work for the only EBBB (elite bulge bracket boutique).

You don’t even work yet, you have little understanding of being doxxed. Go make more prestige lists intern.

Fifth Third here

Have to respect people’s right to privacy on the internet, especially someone like me who works at a great shop but in a smaller group that brutally hazes SAs by making them shove pinecones in their anus (think CVP, LAZ, Moelis, PJT, Greenhill, EVR, Harris Williams, WLBR, Houlihan, PWP).

I work for a solid bank (think GS, JPM, SVB)

I (Work/Play/Labor) in (Investment Banking/Medicine/Law) and (earn/acquire/make) something in the realm of (think $100K, $150K, $200K) though I do work many units of time (think hours, seconds, minutes) each 24 hour period (think days, solar system, calendars). 

I am (think enjoying, liking, appreciating) my (think job, career, position) but I could use a bit of a (think raise, promotion, pat on the back). 

If you want to know who (employs / works with / hired) me it's a top (bank, big law firm, etc.) along the likes of (Goldman, Citi, Five Guys)  

I work for the most prestigious Financial Institution in Pittsburgh think PNC and.....well, yeah. Pretty much just think PNC that's all we got here lol. 

I work at a top bank (GS/JPM/53rd)

Management at most of our firms notices when something negative is posted here, especially when the finmemes / twittersphere pick it up. 

If you actually want the inside baseball, you gotta let it go that people don't want to be identified for what could be a fireable offense in an at-will employment state like NY. 

Pierce & Pierce

Fine, I'll tell you where I'm at. Think GS, Baird, Cowen.

KING Bank 🤴

Nice try, HR.

I work at Northwester Mutual

Congrats on J.P. Morgan

I work at a top EB (think Greenhill, Mizu-oh wait....)

A couple of thoughts -

1) the inside baseball comment is true. No one wants to get bitten in the ass by their employer for saying something. 

2) the size of the industry comment is true. Banking is much smaller than you think and people talk. Likewise, Even though, say, JPM has a 275K+ Total Headcount, Only 20K of those 275K+ work in the Corporate & Investment Bank arm. So that's 7.2% of all JPM employees. How many of that 20K work in Front Office roles doing M&A or coverage? Let's call it 500, just for easy math. So 500 employees, globally doing M&A and coverage, means that's 2.5% of the workforce (or 0.18% of the total workforce). Divide that up between country, office location, and specific group and it becomes a lot easier to identify who's talking. And people know each other or know friends of friends. It's the way it works in Finance. 

3) Even with anon posting, if someone's bank becomes public knowledge, how many kids trying to break in are going to reach out begging for a coffee chat or to network simply because they are on WSO and see that I work at Bank X they have an interest in? I don't need to be bombarded by all that shit. I'm surprised no one has pointed that one out yet. 

"I went to school in Boston..."

I’m at a traditional BB (DB/GS/MS)
