Sandler O'Neill - Tearsheet (urgent)
Lurker for a long time, first time poster. It would be super helpful if anyone can give a bit of insight into the inner workings of Sandler O'Neill. Some general points that would be super helpful are: - Culture - Hours - Pay
I did my fair bit of research on exit opps, and noticed that a lot of their people end up heading to GS FIG. Any opinions on the normality of this, or should I write those off as anomalies?
A bit of background, I would be lateraling from a FO banking position of a non-top foreign bank.
Thanks a ton!

-Culture and Hours: Terrible, consistent 90-100 hr weeks; almost no pitching and all execution (tons of dealflow) -Pay: Below street base but higher bonus potential
Overall: Top notch FIG shop with grueling and long hours and a rough culture. You'll close deals and get a ton of exposure across capital mkts and M&A. Will look amazing for future FIG type opportunities
Right now, I'm at a bank with little traction in the market. Coming from experience do you think it's worth it? Also is it just that the hours are terrible, or the culture as well?
My ex-Sandler friends used the words hours and culture synonymously so I think they could be equally bad.
Either way, if your current place has little traction I think it's worth making the leap, especially if you're at a large foreign bank. Another thing to think about is whether or not you're okay with staying in FIG

Does anyone have any current information on pay? exit opportunities? Culture? Is it a good place to start career?
I know they specialize in FIG banking and research. It's a pretty good shop, my buddy did a sophomore year internship there in FIG equity research covering small-cap banks. He had nothing but the best things to say about the firm.
Was your friend in the NYC office? Anyone have any info on their Chicago operations?

I can't figure out how to apply? they haven't put up any apps yet... Trying to apply for IB or S&T
Was done all through referral etc this year. Interviewed about 3 weeks ago.
A number of banks around the size of Sandler are doing the same thing (no official posting or way to apply online).
You can always send cold emails to the companies that you are interested in. I've gotten interviews that way even when companies did not post their available positions.
