Hi wso, I'll interview for Nomura's London Summer Analyst program and I wanted to ask if anyone of you had any insights for the "Why Nomura?" part of the interview.
My ideas so far:
unique access to Asia
strong balance sheet
a lot of runway to grow
I would really appreciate your insights, thank you very much!

Sushi bar
Is this true? Is there really a sushi bar? I need insight into this
Reach out to ppl at the firm and ask them why they chose to recruit for nomura and what they like about the firm
Thank you very much, will do!
You really like eating sushi and get lots of work life balance because there's no deals

“I’m a weeb bro”
The back office ;)
-Asia/West bridge
-Acquired Greentech so strong focus on renewables
-Smaller team so exposed to models very early on, but still has capacity of large/balance sheet bank
Everyone is shitting on Nomura but it’s a decent bank. Some of their teams have great deal flow (Greentech, Infra, Consumer, levfin)… These teams place very well in BB/EB or other funds. Talking about the EMEA btw
Thank you very, very much for these insights! I truly appreciate your help :)
edit: gave american / NYC advice
Not in London. They’re part of Greentech, Industrials and Infrastructure (GII) group
I agree
"I feel repaying with my help because of what happened in Hiroshima"
what about pearl harbor?
comes off a touch more "homicidal" when you phrase it this way to an interviewer
cause you like anime and it's also Japanese
