Heard its insurance vertical is quite strong - led by Jawad (ex Lehman) and he had one of the best track record in several niche verticals within insurance including group benefit and life. Recently announced several capital raising and the Farmer deal (advised Resolution).
Do you know what the exit ops from the group are like? How does the insurance group place for PE specifically, considering that it is a strong team?

I've coadvised with their fintech team and was not impressed (unsure if fintech falls under FIG or not at Citi). They were on a few cool deals, but their execution sucked and I remember their analysts being very difficult to work with.
Yes, FinTech falls under FIG at Citi
Post above is NYC-specific btw

heard from someone there they are waived to work Saturdays 1x a month
Is this on live deals only or even for pitches and BD work?
Known as nerd heaven in London
Yep fucking nerds all around
Lol FIG guys are generally nerds
Used to sit on same floor as them and agree 100% lol
Are they smart people or no lol
Curious about their exit ops as well?

Great group, definitely one of the stronger franchises at Citi. Group is broken down into three verticals: Banks/specialty fnce/diversified, insurance/AM, fintech.
Fintech is a growing group (group only really started 4-5 years ago) and is now quite large. Great people and have closed some huge deals in payments including Evo and worldpay.
Insurance has plenty of deal flow but is a bit more of a sweat shop.
Banks has seen better days with a large chunk of their spec fin and div fnce divisions leaving for DB.
Do you know what their exits are like? Is MF/UMM possible?
Recent exits honestly didn’t seem too strong. Saw one go PE and a few to corp dev. People there were nice though, long hours tho
Fig sucks
I wouldn't join Citi until they're done cutting bodies en masse but do you.
FIG is boring bro
I know bro but I heard exits can be good for PE from BB
We'll make it one day bros
