Why the Citi hate!?
I don’t work there but citi is an incredible bank. They are one of the strongest brand names, exit routinely to MFPE, HF, and UMM. Just look on LinkedIn. The top groups like M&A, M&T, and HC all do well. I have some friends who have exited to several prestigious funds. They have protected Saturday’s and an incredible culture. Sure, maybe we get paid slightly below Street, but that is completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things when everyone will exit and lead a long life in finance after that regardless. In terms of work product, it is the same exact deliverables as every other bank. I wouldn’t choose Citi over some BB’s but certainly over any EB. Nobody knows the EB names when you speak to other people. I know it’s a meme, but it’s a little ridiculous at this point.
Posts like this are why there’s Citi hate.
The guy who wrote this post (hubbabubba1000000000) goes to my school. He interned at Citi, didn't get a return offer, and is now shitting on Citi on WSO -- His main account name is "bubbagump5000."
U seem fun at parties
What?? Who hurt you man? I guess Citi bonus numbers came early
Most def doesn't work at Citi
“I don’t work there”
“WE get paid below Street”
Classic Citi Literacy Skills
U work at Cowen LOL, have fun at your no-name MM bank
Edit: you claim you work in Bank of America in LONDON LMAO. In the US, BofA is at best citi's peer. Stop acting like you are at CVP lmao. League tables screened in the past 3 years for just M&A/financial advisory in the US, Citi is 3 billion above BofA. You wouldn’t expect it tho because BofA is the biggest balance sheet bank in the US and gets all their credit from financing, like in the musk Twitter deal lmao. Please stay in your lane in the bottom tier of BBs buddy and keep being the laughing stock of IB.
Also, per litquidity, BofA pay is absolute shit and way worse than Citi's.. have fun at your bottom tier BB lmao no wonder BofA interns are so insecure. Bofa is a better commercial bank than it is an ibank.
I work at Bank of America (won’t say state for anonymity). Your post history suggests you work at Citi, however.
Literally every single one of your posts/comments are asking about Citi or bashing others. People like you are why everyone knows it’s a Shitti bank, fazecellium.
Of course a loser like you mentions “league tables” rather than the things that actually matter: compensation, exits, and culture. Anyone in finance would choose Bank or America over Citi in a heartbeat based on these factors. Stay in your lane of bottom BB’s and keep being the laughing stock of IB, low life.
You know ur getting paid Burger King salary when you bring up league tables as a reason your job is better. Citi loser lol
This dude keeps retroactively editing his comment to re-use my exact words verbatim lol. You likely have zero friends in real life.
You should read up on Litquidity’s frequent posts bashing Citi’s pay and culture then. Way below street. BofA > Shitti.
Imagine trying to pursue a prestigious career in finance and having Citi in your background. Yikes.
You have many friends in real life, I assume?
Where did u get this graphic from?
Ok incoming summer analyst at Citi
SA at Citi >> FT at Cowen
I've worked in one of the groups you are listing as top, and it deserves the hate. You are correct that they work on decent mandates at least in some industries (capital intensive ones), and the exits are fine. would you expect anything else for one of the middle range bulge brackets? that is all table stakes for their position.
all in all, I would strongly suggest taking a BAML offer over Citi, which is the relevant comparison in terms of prestige. and your assertion that it is better than EBs is highly questionable in my opinion- you'd be nuts to take citi over even moelis, let alone EVR or PJT
How does culture compare at BofA
friends there had experiences ranging from quite chill to average, but I'd let someone who actually worked there comment
all of them are sticking w/ the bank tho, whereas half the people i know from citi left/are leaving...
BofA generally has a good culture. Seamless credits are a bit higher than other banks. Protected saturdays are taken more seriously (than Citi, obviously). Good perks. All in all I feel like BofA is better at getting rid of shitty people than Citi.
not as baller, that's for sure.
maybe a little less testy.
OK INCOMING SPRING INSIGHTS PARTICIPANT AT CITI
Brought to you by Citi HR
Lmao
No idea about NY but in London at least Citi is probably the 4/5th best IB option for undergrad (on par with BAML - boutiques here are really not as impressive) however I agree with a lot of the stuff being said, meal budget is shit and the culture is awful.
