Career Resources
Mid-tier restructuring shop. Had some turnover at the MD level due to the direction of the company. Still overall solid though
Bottom tier without a doubt. They had a huge falling out of senior people years ago and were bought on the cheap by Stifel as a result. They work on the creditor side and really scrape the bottom of the bucket for deals.
Get rdy to be MS. Obviously some people just can't face the truth about Miller Buckfire being bottom tire in restructuring.
Is this a firm you would still recommend joining for someone trying to break into IB from transaction services?
Think they got bought by Stifel a few years back as well.
It's pure restructuring. Got a offer from them in the past, but turn it down. Base pay is good on par with street. Not sure about bonus. It's part of Stifel. I don't know if it will be consider mid tier, I always thought of it as bottom tier in restructuring. I don't see much exit opps and most folks seem to be career banker and I see a lot of A2A promotion within.
Do you have any tips on the interview process?
Basic IB and restructuring questions, didn't thought of the interview to be overly technical. Ask me some law and bankruptcy question given my background. Talk about why restructuring and Miller Buckfire. In short, try to let them believe that you want to do nothing else in your life than restructuring and work no where else than Miller Buckfire.
Is it worth it to join a slowing shop from Transaction Services such as MB or is it better to look for other opportunities?
I think it's a solid gig, unless you have other options.
On a somewhat related note, any thoughts on Stifel (Miller Buckfire's parent company)?
curious about this as well
Stifel is on par with banks like BGL. Have a buddy in one of their east coast offices, and based off our conversations culture is pretty decent, and pay is pretty good for the low cost city he is in with bonus on top of a good salary but definitely below street. All in all, a decent LMM shop
