Milestone Advisors/DC Banking in general

I was just wondering if anyone had any idea about this company or about banking in DC in general. Unlike a lot of people on WSO I would actually prefer to stay in the mid-atlantic after I graduate this May. Not exactly a haven for finance though.

PM me I am familiar with Milestone.

Jack: They’re all former investment bankers who were laid off from that economic crisis that Nancy Pelosi caused. They have zero real world skills, but God they work hard. -30 Rock
 

I would agree with Margin, you typically don't want to go to Chicago, St Louis, or D.C. for IBD. All roads point to NYC with the exception of specialty locations like Houston for energy/nat resources.

 

I appreciate the advice, but I think a lot of it is missing the mark really (this is my fault because I didn't really put things in context.)

I don't really expect to stay in IBD long term and I never plan on going to business school. So exit opps, traditionally construed, aren't really a factor for me. I just want to make a decent salary for 2 years.
