Currently recruiting for FT and was wondering if anyone has any info on their Global Debt Financing groups (LFO, Structured Fin, Securitization, Debt Advisory, Syndication Loans, Cap mkts)? I am most interested in the first three but hopefully looking for how the groups are doing and their trajectories? Comp, culture, and platform?
All info would be super helpful, thanks in advance!

Depends on the region I think? I have worked with their Spain/UK based structured finance team on a recent deal we closed as an advisor. On this particular deal, long hours seemed to be the norm - heard pay wasn’t commensurate with the hours. On this particular team, they didn’t seem to be the brightest people relative to other lenders in the deal : had to constantly answer simple Qs from them and walk them through excel. On the bright side this meant that we had less (in-depth and number of) Qs from them during the DD process.
Maybe that helps you gauge the exit opps? However my impression of them is only limited to a specific region.
As a Santander grad on a different team I can’t for a fact comment on their skill/expertise but I do know their SF team has maybe the shortest hours of any comparable bank so that part at the very least is completely untrue
Comprehension doesn’t seem to be your strongest skill - I clearly said “on this particular deal”
This would also be understandable since they had a previous working relationship with the sponsor whose good side they wanted to continue being on for other mandates
I work in one of these groups feel free to PM me
The securitisation team is no.1 in europe and has overtaken the likes of BNP and BofA so looks like one of their strongest product groups. See them a lot on deals as Arranger, JLM and heard they do quite a bit on the Srt and private side too.
