this is the only tier list I actually want to see
Houlihan on every floor has cold brew on tap, giant fridges with diff beverages and drawers of snacks. Only problem is a lot of fuckers will camp the snack drops and hoard all the good stuff. Once a month there’s a “birthday party” where they basically just order a bunch of cakes to office. Have heard LA office is even better
Not food, but need to shout out Lifetime-tier gym from 7am-8pm weekdays + free golf and racing simulators (all building-wide) for NYC.$20 lunch + $40 dinner 7-days a week for RX (needs to be within 1mi pickup or office delivery)
Do non-rx groups get same lunch/dinner stipend? Also, what are the odds I actually have time to use the gym + simulators
Think we're at the same building lol we have those amenities in the building as well
Can confirm LA office is great
is it silly to mention this in an interview? obviously not as a main answer but even j mentioning it to show extra research lol
Honestly not a bad idea. After you finish your why HL, you can also say “and I heard you guys have good cold brew” or some shit like that
Bump, would love some color on best espresso / coffee set ups.
Fuck a snack fridge JPM was hiring for a head chef at the new HQ for The Exchange/floors of food (I'm biased)
JPM is fucking awful and I say that as somebody working there.
I work in REPE and we have to pay for coffee and snacks
PWP NY office is very nice
Can confirm by far the nicest/newest office of the BBs/EBs besides JPM
Any info on JPM amenities tho? Heard it’s $65 for gym and pay for everything except coffee tho snacks and food in the building r discounted??
.
30 Hudson Yards has little areas with free coffee and tea. It's pretty bad though. There are stocked fridges with more drinks and snacks, but you have to pay for them. It's rough.
First non-“WF is paradise” comment from I’ve seen from someone who works there
im incoming ft, are there any other cool perks. also what neighborhood should i live in that has easy commute to office
Not really lol. and Hudson Yards is a bit of pain to get to no matter where you are. You can either take the 7 to get there, or the ACE, or 123 to Penn Station and walk over. I'd say live wherever you'd like. A commute is a commute.
Houston and Charlotte had that shitty hockey puck coffee. It’s the same in NYC?
Yup. The puck coffee is undrinkable. 420 Montgomery and 333 Market had it too in San Francisco when I used to work over there. Now 30 Hudson Yards and 150 E 42nd in NYC has the same crap.
only free snacks at WF charlotte are the candy bars i steel from corporate banking's bullpen.
Truist Atlanta HQ. No free food, have to pay for parking, 5 days a week in person.
Is there a gym or anything at least?
How would you rate Truist amenities overall? Any coffee in new office? Gym? Also interested in meal stipend. Thanks in advance
Gym is a glorified hotel gym. Meal stipend of $35 after 7/8pm. Small “Starbucks” you have to pay for.

What insurance company is missing consensus expense ratio targets during earnings because of this lol
.
BofA- nothing. Pay for snacks and food marked up. No free drinks. Most you’ll get is free trash coffee and maybe an espresso machine on floor if you’re lucky. $35 dinner stipend..weekends $30 lunch $35 dinner.
Jesus, that’s ridiculous but not surprising. Seems like everything I read / hear about BofA (and a handful of other BBs) is negative. Almost makes me feel like I’ve been spoiled by the EB I’m at.
Lincoln international $35 dinner, gym in office in select offices, free parking, free coffee (latte, cold brew, etc)/snacks/fruit/sodas (alcohol in office occasionally for after work) and pretty frequent free breakfast/lunch atleast once a week.
nah bruh theres that one md that spawn camps the cold brew with a gallon jug
Are benefits at private UMM/MM PE firms better than publicly-traded banks? Are comped meals and Ubers to and from office the minimum?
Heard of some firms that also could expense random one-off meals with other colleagues as "informal happy hours"
Any info on Truist NY?
(London) Laz, EVR, and WB nice. JPM disappointing. Nomura sucked.
Any info on Laz/EVR rx london?
i'm not in RX but work closely with Laz/CVP/EVR NY rx on a lot of projects and they seem very very solid.
Any info on MS NY
Free Coffee, Hot Chocolate - nice machines on each floor. Have to pay for Energy Drinks + Snacks
Recently renovated so kinda nice
Heard CVP NYC office is nice with a gym in the building
My Morgan Stanley NYC office offers homeless crackheads outside TimeSquare + dull grey cubicals + bottom of street compensation
Lmao MS pays like shit.
Have never seen a BB or balance sheet MM with "perks". $5 off the monthly equinox fee? Sick.
interned at MM botique (kinda like Piper): $35 for dinner after 7. On weekends its 70 for lunch and dinner together (there is also a breakfast price but forgot). Ubers after 8 pm. A lot of really really good snacks in a dedicated snack room. multiple top class coffee machines. Multiple fridges stocked with protein shakes and other drinks (soft drinks, pressed juices etc.). Was living the good life ngl. Even had sodastreams for sparkling water. (everything free of cost).
