Have no info on them to help, but just adding im surprised at how many interns they take, saw a linkedin post and there was like 5 i think
They typically take a descent amount of interns year round and I believe there is a certain level of nepotism as well which isn’t rare for IB just saying how it is.
Heard (very) good WLB, I'd imagine that comes with a decent haircut on comp but don't have numbers. Dealflow wise they post all their transactions on their website, looks like a bit weak this year but was solid enough 2021 to 2023
Look at their most recent LinkedIn post… nobody takes them seriously with posts about their dumb nepo interns
What's with the nepo accusations? Have heard similar things from others
agreed, very blondes heavy
My understanding is summer is very nepo (maybe even fully), but fall and winter tend to be more fairly competitive, which I think is why a decent number of current analysts did fall/winter internships first.
bump why is origin so nepo heavy?
Origin Merchant Partners has a minority stake in Delilah’s.
We hire some of the big spenders to incentivize them to spend more. One happens to be Bill Vlaads son.
Nothing more nothing less, business is business. IB can be taught, so we hire who we feel like.
BANG
I heard Origin is currently being fielded as an advisor on a multi-billion dollar 3-way consolidation deal of the London, Ontario bar market (Delilah's, Ceeps and Jack's merger).
From my understanding, this hiring decision was a strategic move to obtain insider knowledge on the bottle service and first-year underage entry revenue models of the aforementioned bars.
Can anyone confirm or deny these findings?
