Things are shitty, healthcare team lost a senior MD. Other groups (excl. RX maybe) are struggling too. Fintech team is a joke, FIG team has only done 2 Blackrock deals last year (which is great and all but it's a one trick pony group), and C&R is an internal joke as they only pitch with 0% chance of winning any mandate.
Damn fr? Saw good q1 results but didnt realize the situation was so bad
I thought C&R was one of the better teams on the street???
Lmao, just look at their deal flow (or lack of)
I am at another EB but my friend works there. Overall the bank is doing quite well and are on track for another great year (great Q1 results, consistent growth QoQ and YoY), but it is driven by a few very strong groups.
Healthcare is a powerhouse, albeit slightly slower deal flow than last year as of now. No one was surprised when the partner who moved to Citi left – he hadn’t been productive/good fit. RX team are monsters, super lean and one of the top shops on the street now despite only having 6 partners. Industrials had some difficulties in the past but have had some great mandates lately. FIG runs lean also so great deal exposure if you can swing the asset management side. Fintech is small so even if they don't close a lot of deals they pay for themselves off of a few deals and coast the rest of the year – great lifestyle (no clue on the specific policy but out of office at like 5, limited friday/weekend work, etc and still get top of street pay). C&R isn't great, and can't say much about tech.
Also they get paid near top of street, 190-200k A1, 400k ASO1, 490k as ASO2, etc.

Pretty bad

Consumer is dead. Brought some people from HL to try and fix it.
No deal flow so won't be surprised if they cut some seniors
Any chance analysts will be affected?
So much for the "next CVP/PJT" narrative some PWP shills tried to lead here lmao
PJT M&A shill is for real.
