Career Resources
all teams shit except GII (which is mainly driven through legacy Greentech heads from their Zürich office) and one MD in consumer covering bottling
This is very wrong. London GII has sourced some key deals over the last years (Cellnex deals, Opdenergy, lightsource, etc). Tbh, Zurich focuses more of small/mid cap stuff with a focus on energy services.
Zenobe (KKR) was Zürich + all the other interesting greentech stuff is done from there… Digital Infra also strong in London, currently carrying the London greentech team with their towers / data center deals, otherwise would be struggling to achieve yearly fee targets
Nomura is rubbish in London
Exception is Greentech and Debt Financing groups.
Have couple of friends in their top teams
Any insights on FIG, Sponsors or LevFin?
Didn’t one Nomura banker become the banker of the year recently? Think I saw it somewhere
Andrei Milekhin, MD in the Digital Infrastructure team (part of Greentech)
Friend who started there a few months ago (top team) told me hours are super chill overall, Greentech working more but not a sweatshop (~70h/week, not too much work on weekend). Heard dealflow is slow recently but they converted a lot of SA so they might be preparing for smth
If you're looking for a place to chill while earning your buck it's probably great but you might be missing on deal experience depending on the team
I work in the Greentech team. I’d say 70h is on the lower end. It also depends greatly on the sub vertical you’re working in. Digital infra people are easily pulling 100h+ a week. I have had 60h weeks but that was last year. Currently the team is very busy with people being on 3 deals on average at any one point. On the other hand, the Chemicals sub-vertical has had an v bad year. Team has reached budget this year. hopefully this will be reflected in our bonuses.
Why is NYC so trash
Not competitive on price and weak seniors
They have an edge in LDN as they bought out Lehman's European operations in 2009 (with high comp packages for their MDs to stay) + acquired Greentech in 2021, which was already crushing it in Europe
While in NYC they are more like the traditional MM with low deal flow, mostly doing coverage
