Somebody sell me JEFFERIES

Is there any point joining them now that cap markets are quieting down? Obviously their business is pure play IB so heavy dependent on the activity/vol in cap markets . Is it still worth joining them?

personally not in the JMST (Jefferies Meat Sucking Team) but expect them to say some jargon like fast-growing, almost a BB, blah blah blah

 

doesn't your next employer pay it off?

If it’s not a market or expected term, then no. Clawbacks are common for MDs, but not associates or VPs - the difference being associate and VPs are kept whole on non-vested equity 

don’t remember JEFF policy specifically but I thought they clawed back cash bonus for either most recent year or most recent 2-3 years on a fixed step-down

quite frankly, at the associate level we’d probably just hire somebody else given similar talent available than deal with a Jefferies lateral headache
