Point72 AM vs. BB IBD
Hey Monkeys,
Interviewing with Point72 and the top BBs in the next few weeks and was wondering how you would think about which option to take. For someone interested in investing in the long term, at what point would you take a BB over P72 in terms of bank/group/exit opps etc? How do you think reputational risk factors in? Looking forward to hearing your feedback.
Interested as well. Curious to hear thoughts from people in the industry.
Point 72 is nasty, and I wouldn't be mad to end up somewhere like there after my stint in banking. On the other hand, you should know that it's been a pretty controversial shop the past few years.
It depends on what the specific position is. If it's not the HF associate role, I'd probably take GS/MS/JPM over it.
I will be interviewing for the Research Analyst / General academy program role, which I'd imagine is the same as HF Associate
Additionally, this is all in regards to junior year internship opportunities
I would make sure what you know what the role will exactly be. Hard to make a comparison without knowing too much about the program / actual job description.

I'm in the same boat as you, would love to hear any further input

Just my two cents but I would think the P72 name would be a big turn off with a lot of other firms given all of the controversy surrounding Cohen & company. I would think BB IBD would probably give you more options when you're looking at buyside gigs down the line. That being said, P72 has a lot of very sharp people who aren't insider traders so the experience would still be worthwhile if that is where you end up.
bump - any more thoughts?
