Citi: Finance - M&A?

http://www.oncampus.citi.com/business_areas/north…

It is in their corporate functions group (not ICG), but the description sounds very similar to IB M&A.

Does anyone have any insight on this position?

bankergirlit's corp dev for citi. a friend of mine works there after 2 years IBD at citi and got destroyed by the hours (circa 2008, Wachovia deal time frame)

Do you think it's a good place to be for someone who wants to get into IB M&A full time?

Why not start with IBD if thats what you want. I don't think corporate function has any relations with Citi's clients (which are more valuable IMO) Its the same job as working for Apple's finance department I believe..which is still not bad and you can make it to the CFO :)

Signs of Recession: Banker: “Where’s me Bonus?” Yuppie: “Whadya mean I have to actually work?” Fox Rock Mum: “Lidl’s the place to be seen in now!” Cowen: “It’s not my fault that me and my party are complete f**k-ups - it’s the recession silly!”

Couldn't get one. I am a junior and I have a summer offer to work with Citi Finance - M&A, thats why I was asking.

for that group specifically, they take IBD analysts with 2 or more years of experience, so IBD is a prerequisite, not post.
