S&T Perks??
Does anyone know the perks involved with S&T full-time analysts since all I hear about are from the peeps in IB? I know that hours are around 6-7 so does that mean you get a meal allowance, black car service, blackberry, etc....???
biggest perk is that you get to have a life!
I said the exact same thing in the Traders' forum. I like how you think.
Great minds think alike! :-)
If you're good, you'll be on a very fast track.
blackberry is not a perk
you dont get a black car since you leave work by 6 or 7 usually .. same with meal allowance. Blackberry's are simply the MD's preferred way of keeping analysts at work till 3 in the morning. Not a perk in the least.
blackberry is a wireless leash....
One of my friends works for some IB/Hedge Fund. She told me that the traders at her company are treated extremely well, and they're held at a much higher pedestal compared to other workers.
So, the traders got together and decided that they don't like the food at the cafeteria, so they hired a professional chef. Now, for lunch, she eats filet mignon, lobster/shrimp, Kobe burgers whenever she wants.
Wish I worked there. hehe
HAHA. Wow, that is halarious...I guess they will do whatever to keep them happy... that cracks me up.

You'll have to work it out with your desk manager, but you generally get a meal allowance and car service if you stay late. A BlackBerry is not a perk--it's a leash.
Also, the first two are questionable perks, at best. They're just signs that you are working too much. The biggest perk of S&T is that you get to enjoy some free time.
haha I said the same thing about blackberry in the other thread w/o even looking at this one
no,no, and no. and the bberry isn't a perk, i've managed not to be given when and am thankful for that.
the perks are you get to leave at a reasonable hour.
Agree with everything the guys above said. Do you get black car service and a food allowance? Yes, but you will most likely never use it because you won't be working that late. I've used my food allowance 1 time in almost a year of work since b-school. And the Blackberry, like everyone else said, is sure as hell not a perk. I tried my damndest NOT to get one, but my boss eventually made me. I managed to stall for about 4 months, though. Now that I have it I usually leave it in the office on the weekends so that on the off chance some hoser does try to call me I don't lose my cool and start yelling at them......
I thought for S&T, Blackberries aren't that bad because you can forward all Bloomberg messages to your mobile. I doubt you need to stay "in touch" like the IB guys...
My MD demands that the food arrive between 6:30 and 7:00. Basically everyone leaves after they eat, unless they have something important to finish. Black car service is a pain because everyone senior at the bank tries to leave around 9:00, so a huge line assembles. I only use it if I leave after around 10:00 when traffic starts to thin. Also, I hear some banks will reimburse up to 75% of your personal cellular phone, which seems much better than a blackberry.
bubba, you're talking banking though...
think more about broker relationships - though we have many team building dinners and drinks as well as helping sales out when it suits us...
yes, brokers are a perk, agreed there.
