Analyst 3+ in IB - Gen

Wells analyst here - the hours are great, the hudson yards office is sweet, and the pay is street. MF exits aren't likely, but MM PE exits abound. It's a nice gig, honestly. Also one protected weekend per month, and protected friday nights from 630pm to noon on saturday

Wait you’re actually out of the office by 6:30Pm on Fridays...every weekend? Fuck man that’s not bad.

 

WF will never get talent or respect from top candidates if they continue with their wonky placement process. Why would any Wharton kid sign with WF when there's a chance they get placed in Charlotte, without the pay or exits to compensate for it?

 

The truth of the matter is that they need to fix the placement stuff. If you search around here/the internet it’s extremely prevalent. My friend’s little brother is not in a great situation there (not the office he wanted and even worse not even in IB really). People are aware of this and I would imagine lose talent because of it.

Saying it’s fine isn’t helping matters. They need to run the same process that other banks do. Can everyone get M&A? No...should everyone get to work in the state they want to work in? Yes. To solve that you run separate processes by office. 

 

so everyone seems to be talking about analyst placements etc which is fine in terms of attracting jr talent.

i'm talking about expanding IB more generally. products, markets, business lines up and down capital stack (not just. debt), etc
