Yeah, really small but great firm. Where did you find the diversity day listing?

 

club listservs at their targets (wharton, ross, harvard) got it i think

 

from an old listserv email

JVs / Partnerships:

$20bn+ JV formation between Barrick and Newmont

Advisor to Unilever on $143bn hostile bid from Kraft Heinz

IPO / SPAC Advisory:

Aramco’s $1.9T IPO

Lucid Motor’s $11.8bn SPAC Merger

 

I went through their process last year - got bodied by technicals. i know back in the day their comp was materially above market, like $95k base with 100% bonus vs other banks at $80-85k base, so was seen as one of the best offers you could get along with PJT RX / EVR / Qatalyst / Raine / CVP etc, but not sure where their comp stands now relative to other banks. Would expect it to still be above market given it's a iykyk type of firm so you're trading some name recognition

astounding level of arrogance lmao. michael klein is one of the top 10 most recognizable names in IB…

 

This is the IB owned by the SPAC  king - Michael Klein right? Man, if this is really "the" M. Klein's firm then it is highly reputable. I mean, this guy is literally the genius behind the CCIV-Lucid Motors reverse merger. it was unfortunate that CS First Boston failed to materialise

 

anyone heard back after 2nd rounds? received GS offer this week and have evercore process kicking off but honestly was much more impressed the M. Klein ppl so hoping they didn't already do superdays :(
