Anything Greek-mythology generally sounds dope:

  • Project Titan
  • Project Achilles
  • Project Olympus
  • Project Hydra

Also, the science-y ones are pretty cool too:

  • Project Apogee
  • Project Vertex

But the tue Elder-God-tier projects are the low-effort Midwest Consumer company buyouts where the bankers figured the founder's HoldCo name was good enough:

  • Project Mama's Hot Dumplins
 

Do you even work in IB if you've never worked on a Project Eagle?

There have been over 30 of them at my bank. We literally have Project EAGLE_XXX....

 

What’s the approach when you name projects? We usually try to have some sort subtle connection to the company that the people in the group understand directly but outsiders dont. However, given all the “Project Eagle” and “Project Megatron” I’ve come across, I doubt that’s the approach everyone has.

 

Tell me you’re a pre-internship college student without telling me.

After you work on a few deals, “Project Insomnia” or “Project Guantanamo” would be the first ones to come to mind.
