IBD in PHL

What are the prospects for getting an investment banking job (preferably M&A) in Philadelphia? Based on some quick internet research it seems like some of the BBs are there but not all, and its hard to know what groups/departments would be there. This would be for a post-MBA Associate position.

did you checked the sticky post with the regional ibs? pick some companys out and contact them for the information you need.

 

yes, there are a lot of unheard-of firms on that list. But just check their websites for a varification on how big they are.

Anyway, wish you good luck!

 

yeah, there aren't any huge firms there or anything, but there are quite a few boutiques and such. PM me if you want a fuller list (other than what's on the sticky).
