Based on the most helpful WSO content, Santander has been actively hiring, particularly bringing in talent from Credit Suisse as reported by Bloomberg. This suggests they are making moves to strengthen their investment banking division. While Santander is traditionally known for its strength in retail and commercial banking, their IBD arm in New York seems to be growing and positioning itself more competitively. If you're considering opportunities there, it might be worth exploring how their recent hires and strategy align with your career goals.
