Why Jefferies??
Any good points on how Jefferies differentiates itself from other banks? "Why Jefferies and not X"?
It's for an interview.

Hi Rich!
hi
just curious, when you exit from your account and then need to login back, how tf do u remember your name?
do you have them saved on a clipboard?
it's Cantonese and I don't log out ever. But there is chrome extensions if you are interested in basic china talk. The name Pepsi was taken so i just put the username in that format.
bro it's simple if u know how to speak chinese. it's just the cantonese version of Pepsi
LOL great troll post Handler.

Building out FIG group from poaching MDs from CS
Phenomenal research platform that consistently wins awardsTho be aware of culture being group specific, some (M&A / HC) can be very intense to put it lightly.
Never mention exits during an interview.
"I think your bank may allow me to position myself favorably in the recruiting market. Precisely, I'm confident that after 4 months in the role, my chances of recruiting for GS/JPM/MS would highly improve and I'm looking forward on my ~ 6ish month to quit and move to a new bank. So, I think that working at your bank would be a great opportunity to reach my goal of getting into GS/JPM/MS".
Why not?
It's literally the fastest way to get hired on the spot😂
Jk
Yeah Deff harp on the exit opportunities during an interview. If WSO wants to get serious about moderating then they need to look at shit like this more closely.
Hahah some of the advisors on the forum… With Jefferies you might have to go with “I don’t read the news and would be coming in with a blank slate”
It’s one of the fastest growing banks on top of what everyone has already said. They also constantly win mandates against BBs and EBs. They have been focusing on their IB platform and heavily investing in people and physical resources.
Make sure to say you want to work for a lower middle market bank because of the lean deal teams
“I enjoy pain”
Aside from all the hate posts which I could happily contribute to, you should definitely mention JEFs role in the IB landscape as a full-service bank without the onerous controls faced by a fed-regulated lender. Provides for more flexible financing solutions for clients which may often times lend themselves to be more flexible in structure than what you’d see elsewhere.
This is a chance to flex all the relationships you have developed in the process. Mention the people you have talked to by name and say you feel the fit is better with those guys and gals over the other banks you have talked to.
Everyone knows this question is total BS, but try to make it more personal than “XX vertical does well”. That sounds really disingenuous, even for a disingenuous question
"This is my only interview and I need the job" might be the only positive thing you could say about the place.
Tell them you like to grind. I’m serious, when I interviewed there they loved that hardo mentality, so present yourself as someone who isn’t afraid of hours and is looking to “learn” as much as possible.
I’m ready to work more and earn less than the competition.
Jeff pays at street, can goldman say the same
Not after clawbacks they don’t
This is where you can reference your network calls with individuals who work in the group you're interviewing for. All banks really aren't that unique from each other, until you get down to the individuals.
bro if you cant come up with why x bank, thats kinda sad considering you prob have chatted some bankers there and asked relevant questions
Mention that despite hearing all of the sexual assault rumors you were still down to join a firm where that kind of action is condoned and HR works to cover it up.
Yh, you'll be hired on the spot
Is it for Diversity Symposium just curious
nope, LinkedIn
wut haha
jefferies 1R is out?
Because I fuck with my slatts and slimes free thugga aka the real Jeff
Jefferies acts as an independent advisory in the sense that they don't use their own balance sheet, but they have a strategic partnership with MassMutual which gives them the OPTION of access to capital. Having a huge balance sheet can be a double-edged sword and Jefferies gets the best of both worlds.
is this a 1R? i thought applications opened yesterday
For London, African students from SEO Africa are still interviewing for 2023 summer.
