Easiest investment banking job to get?
Hey guys I was wondering if one person really really wants to get an investment banking job no matter what, which firm is the easiest to get into? I'm going to guess a no-name boutique so can you guys list some?
Janitor at BoA.
Second on the list, CEO at BoA
I'd probably say IB analyst at Bank of Ameria is the easiest. Even Jeffrey Chiang got an offer there...
A no-name boutique may actually be harder to get as they typically hire just 1-2 people. Get an interview at a bank that is hiring many people and don't overestimate your competition (of the other interviewing candidates). Getting the interview may be the toughest part, but if you can get it at a bank that hires many analysts, that may be the easiest position to get. It really depends on your specific situation.
I know people this year who were able to get offers/interviews at the BBs and had no luck at the boutiques or MM firms because of hiring numbers.
depends what area u live in
near nyc, why does that matter
B/c you said you want names of "no name" banks-- i dont live in that area so i have no idea
It matters b/c there is about 100x the amount of investment banks in NYC then anywhere else in the country. Think about it for 1/2 a second....
I would assume a lower level MM bank.
go to www.vault.com, dealbook, and http://leverageacademy.com/blog and look up middle market banks, different from prestigious boutiques
under investment banking, you will find a list of about 150 banks
I only get a list of 50 or so and those are the top 50...how do you enter a general search?
So Jaffray-
Why do people always think that getting into a boutique will be easy? The only advantage that you have with a boutique is if your job hunt is a little out of the box, the boutiques are less likely to be thrown by that since their evaluation process is more opportunistic and ad hoc. But that doesn't mean it still isn't tough as hell to get in.
Plus, if you are already at this stage of the game looking for the path of least resistance, let me be the first to tell you that you are not off to a good start.
