shithole
Think what?
why do you call it a shithole prospie?
Tech boutique in SF. Principals come from major banks and have a nice network. What more do you need to know?
Good firm with lots of growth
Ask others.
I know someone who had an offer with them in the NY office. They more or less tried to use extortion into making him take the job and telling him that his school's offer explosion policy didn't matter, and that they'd take the offer away after a week if he didn't decide.
I felt bad for the dude, but told him to not deal with that shit as it was completely insane for a company to treat someone like that, it's just a clear showing that their brand name is not strong and need to try and screw people into working there. He didn't take the job, and ended up getting a BB job instead, which was both awesome and funny at the same time.
Personally, I haven't come away with a high level of regard for the bankers I've worked with from ThinkEquity. Just an opinion.
Michael Moe (founder) was having trouble keeping the lights on, so he went out looking for investors but couldn't find any private placement money so he had to sell to some shitty UK boutique at a very "reasonable" price.
ThinkEquity like several other bay area boutiques is a business model from a bygone era, ECM focused with an emphasis on co-managing IPOs and research/sales/trading. These shops are getting a little bit of traction in doing PIPEs but still not really a formula for success in an M&A driven market.
ThinkEquity - Anyone know anything? (Originally Posted: 02/14/2011)
Anyone know anything about ThinkEquity? Anything about how their interviews are (tech vs fit, difficulty), exit ops, culture, etc. Don't really care about prestige at this point.
Did you just get an interview there for FT or SA?
Well, I'd add two gigantic caveats to my old post, which is that the two bankers I had experience with are long gone (and frankly my experience with them was from when they were in previous lives at a bulge bracket firm), and that everything depends in what your alternatives are.
The current roster there I do not know well, but anecdotally may actually represent an upgrade versus the bankers I did know despite the fact that their resumes mightnot appear to be as big-name. This is second-hand info, so make what you will. I will also say that I have high standards for praise directed towards my competition, so like most bankers I have no shortage of people I dismiss as being short of substance. I try hard in my postings to be fair and generous, and my old post probably reflects too much my real-life persona versus the reflection that my GK postings usually have.
brutalglide: this is for SA
Yes, what GK said in that old thread got me a little worried which is why I created this thread to see if things had changed. Any other input would be appreciated.
