BoFA FIG had somebody die, so I would say them. M&A at BoFA + Citi are also super sweaty, not too sure what case is for Barclays. For Citi, M&A is for sure most sweaty and botty group, Power is also super sweaty as is M&T. Have also heard that Software tech is sweaty in SF, but not SF based so not super sure. I think their deal flow is almost-all SF based so would think NYC tech is relatively less-sweaty.
Thanks
Can chime in on Barclays. Tech, Industrials, Healthcare, PU&I are all super sweaty (and the best groups at the bank). Tech is pretty strong for an NYC group, and while the newer seniors are better, they still get cranked. Industrials has been a sweatshop for as long as I can remember. Healthcare flies under the radar a bit more, but from what I've heard, has the same hours as the other two, if not worse at times.
Can confirm, spoke with one of the HC post MBA associates while recruiting IB during my MBA program. Sounded very sweaty (he did mention a few 3-4 AM nights) but the healthcare coverage exposure sounded great. Heard their analyst placement into PE is solid too. Sort of reminds me of the reputation that Jefferies HC has.
BofA M&A and FIG
Citi M&A, Power and Media & Telecom. SF Software specifically is also sweaty given most deal flow from west coast (non-software tech in SF and NY are better). REGAL and C&R have good culture
Barc flagship NYC groups are sweaty. Chicago Tech is lifestyle and good for MM exits
Some S&T or certain coverage teams can be really intense, but it really depends on the team and office.
Barclays consumer I’ve heard is terribly sweaty even with very little deal flow. Worst of both worlds, would avoid
search for egrc bank of america and you will have your answer. it is a bit of an odd duck where your brother will have really easy hours and decent pay but the other side of the sword will be he will get absolutely zero deal experience or learn anything being surrounded by the worst bankers on wall street.
