Southern Investment Banking pay vs NYC pay
Hello I am a senior and looking into colleges and I have spiked an interest in investment banking. I was looking into some southern schools and was wondering how much of a pay difference is there for ib in a place like Atlanta or Houston or Charlotte compared to nyc or San Francisco pay. Also I understand that there are far more options in nyc but are this still a lot of opportunities for southern ib too? Also what kind of schools would be good for southern banking? Thanks in advance!
Houston is actually insane pay with ridiculous hours if you get a good bank
Name a bank in Houston with insane pay and good hours.
Haven’t heard many people claim great hours in Houston.
TX: Vandy, Rice, UT, SMU will all set you up with a platform to succeed
For the Atlanta and Charlotte markets for IB the "current" southern ivies are the best places to go.
MF and MM PE firms that are recruiting in the south for analyst positions go to Emory, Vandy, Duke, UVA, UNC, and Davidson (surprisingly).
These schools traditionally place 1-3 a year in HF positions as well.
For IB all of these schools are "safe choices".
For an IB/PE focused finance degree, no one competes with Emory currently in the south. They place people everywhere in IB, PE, REPE, HF, AM, coast to coast and they restructured their curriculum to place more graduates in these roles annually. They are the only top talent and high-finance focused programs in the south IMO currently.
