Non-spam thoughts on Citi Tech IB

Looking for non-spam candid thoughts on citi tech SF relative to other SF BBs  

Any color on how much deal flow is internet vs software vs semis is very helpful

Inb4 copy and paste paragraph about how Citi Tech is on the rise.

Spoke to someone there and apparently software is the biggest team and internet is not far behind. Don't think they are strong in semis

 

Reached out to a senior person who referred me to a junior for an initial conversation. kept pushing it back/ had last minute things come up. got the message that culture and WLB in that office is not good. Know a friend who summered there as well and is not returning back

Lol at these comments - my best friend works at Citi. Everything above me is serious misinformation and quite appalling.

- Software group has strong deal flow and WLB is the best on the street bar none

- Semis is the complete opposite and similar hours to Moelis LA

- I'm at a top 2 BB and we're constantly talking about "Citi on the rise" because they are on the rise lmao (in equities they're ranked #4th on top of BAML and M&A ranked #5th behind BAML)

Brian Truesdale, global head of software investment banking at JPMorgan, has joined Citigroup

so yea - i didn't feel like posting but wannabe bankers and A1s on this forum truly are the source of misinformation

 

Please post 3-5 good software deals they’ve done… open to being proven wrong, but just don’t think the group is very good. Jefferies/Blair much stronger.
