T(ouse)D Securities

Why TD Securities (Houston office) is one of the best upcoming banks:

1. Attractive Hours: Compared to the sweatshop experience at BBs or EBs, standard IB/markets hours at TD are generally far more manageable (typically averaging 60–75 hours/week depending on live deals). Heard individuals leaving at around 7.

2. Piggybacking off first point - Higher Hourly "Effective" Rate: Because the baseline base pay aligns closely with Street standards, working 15–20 fewer hours per week gives you a significantly better compensation-to-hours-worked ratio.

3. No Shark Culture: TD culture doesn’t include hardos you find at other banks. Leads to less toxic behavior, face-time pressure, or abusive senior leadership.

4. Protected PTO & Weekends: Seniors generally respect vacation time, and weekend work isn't mandated unless a pitch or live deal strictly requires it. (Follows Canadian rules)

5. Tim the tank: Tim brings in so much deals. Works like a machine and is essentially a tank.
