I like stifel ib. But I think the list is funny, it made me laugh. Thanks
is DC advisory Japanese, didn't know that
Didn’t realize this either. Looks like it’s a subsidiary of Daiwa Securities - guessing “DC” stands for “Daiwa Capital”?
Pretty big difference between a lot of these names - such as DC Advisory and Nomura or Mizuho. The former at least does M&A deals. The latter are a total joke.
What kind of deals do the latter do and why are they jokes?
I would assume a lot of debt.
Curious here too
All of them. The job sucks
you're crazy if you think these are the 'worst'. There are largely unknown business broker / bucket shops all over the country that would be far worse than above list.
That’s why he said regional banks don’t count
Definitely whatever shop you’re at
CrossTree Capital, BGL Capital, DelMorgan & Co
Why CrossTree?
Lol isn’t this the firm that made that cringe LinkedIn / YouTube video.
Really messy firm. Pretty unprofessional at all levels, work product seems often rushed, chaotic recruiting process, also have heard hours are insane which they are dishonest about.
Credit Suisse naturally
Didn't know fifth third or BMO were 2 of the “worst banks” OP where does this come from?
I could get the fifth third comment cause there IB arm, especially M&A isn’t to good, but BMO and Lincoln being on this is a joke haha
Lincoln??? Are you high?
Truist isn’t bad at all. People are nice, hours are reasonable by Wall Street standards, pay is street, new NYC office will be really cool, and bank itself is stable/growing, which isn’t a given these days
Really? That’s news to me
Stable and growing? Is this HR?
This is not true at all. Pay is below street
Buddy was an associate in EVR's transpo group - terrible culture and really bad hours
Damn, heard EVR transpo is BRUTAL too - comparable to Moelis, people have said
