ONLY THESE BANKS OR YOU STRUCK OUT
Sorry the only banks to land are the below.
Success all around: GS / MS / JPM / Q / EVR / CVP / PJT / MOE / PWP / LAZ / BofA / Citi / Barclays
Success, but while the school club hardo might know, not a single family member, girl, or 99% of your friends will know, and will think you struck out, while you’re earning top of street pay at your completely unknown niche ass boutique: Dyal / MKlein / Ducera / AECA / Ardea / Tidal
Doable…: Gugg / Roths / Jeff / HL
Rest ur fucked sorry
Congrats on Barclays
What about UBS
Congrats on Ardea
PWP should be moved to doable
Fact of the matter is that the average person has better brand recognition of Capital One and attributes working at Visa/Mastercard equivalent to J.P. Morgan. Exception is Goldman Sachs.
No one knows what EBs are, they just know the big commercial banks.
Can confirm - working in tech
Dollars still green nerd
only reason to do IB is to go buyside
I did my analyst program at one of those top banks you mentioned. This is a really immature take that shows you don’t understand how the industry really works. While you’re correct that those are objectively the “best” banks that you should target while in undergrad, there are many paths to success and a great career on Wall Street. I know a lot of people who started at one of the banks you mentioned and flamed out within a year, as well as people who lateraled from “worse” banks and firms into top groups within a year of graduation. I’ve also seen people in top groups get crowded out, while people in “worse” places developed their own swim lane and found a niche they can build in long-term. What you realize eventually is that success isn’t just a brand, bank, or linear path, it’s developed from your personal effort and results over time. Hopefully you realize this too and understand that it’s better to take the high road and remain humble rather than punching down for no reason.
Nobody on the street will be impressed by any of these except for Goldman Sachs and UBS.
Adding HL before DB is crazy to me considering what I've seen in exits.
I guess HL and JEFF are the top UMM banks
Jamie Dimon started his career in Bank One. Good to know his career is fucked I guess.
