Is their NYC office any good? It would suck if Atlanta is their best office

 

According to some people on WSO, 2nd-year analysts cleared 200k this year all in. Wouldn't consider that below street at all.

 
Controversial

Lol pretty laughable. As someone who spent 2.5 years there, that’s 100% a troll. Truist is notoriously cheap, it’s all about their loan ROE. If you think a place like Truist that can barely get a M&A mandate, paid over 100% bonuses compared to base (it was 80,85,90 for base when I was there for analysts 1-3, and yes they force all analysts to do 3 years) you’re going to be pretty disappointed come bonus time after you spent an entire year working on mostly pitches and internal work (credit memos and client planning!). Last I spoke with the guys who I know that were associates they were all upset earlier in the year that bonuses came in light after a busy year (typical STRH/Truist), so have a hard time believing that changed in 6 months for the analysts. On top of that BB&T culture was even more conservative than legacy STRH was, and basically had 0 experience in true IB and was more of a retail bank so it’s not like with the merger the culture around costs/pay have changed and swung the other direction, if anything they are even more focused on being conservative and cutting costs. Then you factor in all the restructuring that happened and cost cutting after the merger, it’s just not in their culture to pay like that. I mean when I was there during COVID, they didn’t even allow analysts to expense dinners. One analyst tried it and the junior bankers got a blast email from a higher up in IB saying no one should be expensing dinners and that it’s a luxury/gift for you when you are in the office but you are at home so just cook dinner for yourself. They were like the last bank to finally change their stance on that lol wouldn’t even pay $20 dinners to analysts.

I don’t want to be overly negative as it wasn’t all bad at STRH/Truist, I enjoyed the people I worked with and made some great friends, but I’m trying to prevent some college kid who reads they pay analysts over $200K from some troll and then is disappointed when his first year bonus doesn’t even hit 50% of his base and all he’s worked on his capital raising deals and credit memos.

 

I think it may open back up, last year they didn't close until September and I have contacts at Truist and they never mentioned application opening or closing this early. 

 

I heard that was for an accelerated select group of people. Regular applications don't open till August and interview in the fall. 

 

Regular pool already opened and closed I believe, atleast that’s what I applied to bc it said nothing abt diversity.

Anyone get word for first rounds yet ?

 

Had mine yesterday too. Haven't heard anything yet, but first rounds finish today so hopefully we'll hear back soon.

 

Have not heard anything. They said we would know within two weeks. It's been a week. First offers prob went out Saturday, and I assume they have a week to respond. The next round of offers will prob be out this Sat. And they'll get a week. And then if there are any spots left then maybe a third round of offers next Saturday and that will prob be it. I'm assuming that anyone who hasn't heard back is likely on a waitlist. Unless you got direct rejection. 

 

Honestly think of it as a blessing and keep applying! I just got an offer from a BB bank and thank god I did not hear back from them immediately otherwise I would've accepted their offer.
