Clawbacks at the associate level and beyond. Anecdotally heard they don't pay nearly as well for new post MBA hires as they once did 3-4 years ago. Usually one of the top choices of international at my program (large alumni base there and Jefferies alumni do seem to have a heavy preference for candidates with finance backgrounds - domestically and/or internationally). At my T20-T25, JEF is one of the more receptive banks I've seen in terms of alumni / current students. I can only think of one other bank that is as engaging with the whole recruiting class as them.
I would've agreed w/ you about the clawbacks until Credit Suisse and other firms started doing it too during the talent wars
Also the company doesn't really prefer MBA hires for some specific groups, besides M&A and some of the other bigger groups.
True for the most part, had an anecdotal interaction with an alum at JEF that came off as preferring finance backgrounds at least in their group. At least in my current class, I feel the classmates getting most traction with them all had at least 1-2 years of valuation/finance related experience pre-MBA. Granted there are exceptions and we did have a recent graduate go there with a non-finance background but also heard he/she were arguably one of their best in their cohort in terms of technical prep.
