I’ve seen many posts about M Klein in recent days. Have you tried looking at previous posts?
Have a friend there so happy to provide some insight. Their pay is well above street and hours are on par for IB. Their exit opps have included Carlyle, Crestview, Ares, etc. Considering how few analyst they have and how few choose to leave, the average analyst certainly places far better than most at Jefferies. I'm at a BB and can say his work is much, much more interesting and the deals are just as big. Personally would pick them in a heartbeat over Jefferies. I think the exit opps and experience don't compare, especially considering that Jefferies isn't particularly prestigious.
who mentioned jefferies lol
OP said they had an offer from Jefferies and M Klein and asked for a comparison of the two. They've now edited it rendering my comment useless haha
Do you mind clarifiyng what you mean by "well above street"? And yeah I got rid of the Jefferies part haha
Don't want to give to too much away...more than evercore but less than centerview
Bro I would be really really careful posting on here like this, M Klein probably gives like 5 offers max, and there's only 1 that will also have an offer from Jefferies. You are immediately identifiable now to everyone at the firm, which is a terrible way to start any working relationship.
The other posters already mentioned that he had mentioned Jefferies previously in his post. Nothing he can do about it now. The damage is done. OP, ask the anons to change their posts !!!
Wait can you explain why it would be bad if your employer found out you were seeking input on making a (major) decision like this? I think it would actually be seen as conducting diligence on your end, which is a responsible thing to do.
It just makes you idenfitifable and then, people will talk about how you were not gung ho about working at M. Klein and even considered Jefferies...have had people in real life make fun of me for posting things on this site...
OP, I wouldn't stress over this. As someone else mentioned, the fact that you are trying to learn as much as you can about each firm before you sign the offer shows maturity, if anything. There is no need to be "gung ho about working" at either firm. You showed enough interest in the firm to get the offer. Just be loyal to the firm whenever you start working.
I interviewed there. It was pretty interesting. They didn't ask any technicals like the normal kind. I brought up a few deals I had heard of in the news and he took one of them as an example and made it a sort of case study in which he asked me the price of each product and how much it would cost to make, etc. I didn't move on but it was an intersting process to say the least. The guys they ended up taking were some random people who were middle of the pack in terms of IB recuriting at mys chool
Guy's a troll lol...look at his past posts. Had a phone screen w them...certainly was very technical and tough. Also, they have their pick of the litter as they take so few analysts and recruit so early so they're definitely not taking middle of the pack kids...girl from my school who got it was a top candidate across the board and had options
Dude, I mean every word I've said. Verify this with someone who actually interviwed at Mr. Klein's.
You are clearly a fake. M Klein interview is probably the hardest among all banks with very hard and in-depth questions. No way they take the middle of the pack, at my school they take the top of the top clubs and they are the first firm to recruit.
How’d you get an offer from MK seems impossible. Are you at a target/diversity and did you end up taking?
Target. Why would you say it's impossible?
It's a great firm, but their deal list skews natural resources (Oxy/Anadarko, Newmont/Barrick, several other deals for Barrick Gold, Glencore/Xstrata) so one thing to keep in mind depending on your interest in those sectors and how they will fare in a post-COVID world. They cover and have done deals in other sectors (i..e IHS/Markit) but their bread & butter has historically been natural resources
Agreed, the firm has a great rep and Klein himself is a legend in the industry. Wasn’t under the impression they had such a strong focus area though...I remember reading about them working on Dow/DuPont, Virgin Galactic, etc which go across industries. Will also add that the firm’s SPACS have done incredibly well and that they recently raised the largest ever. Now could be an incredible time to buy something at a discount. Last SPAC found its success with a tech company if I remember correctly.
What'd you end up deciding?
