What is going on at BofA?

I keep hearing how BofA’s been falling off, and the data supports it. I’m starting at BofA in the fall (coverage group) and am a bit worried about not getting as good of an experience relative to my friends at other BBs. Not to mention I heard the pay has been terrible. Does anyone have any advise on how to excel there?

All banks have problems. You are at one of the biggest investment banks in the world. Go touch some grass.

 

The people who go on every thread and say "UBS sucks" or "BofA fell off" are not normal people and their delusions should be of no concern to you. You have a top 1% entry level role in finance. You will be fine. 

 

lol ik this is sarcastic but with the current market unironically that might be the safest place to be given it is MM
