Finance nepo hires

Personally where I've seen / heard it the most is actually in tier 2 and 3 cities.

Real Estate PE without a doubt...

Rothschild/Lazard/GS/MS/JPM 

People just openly brag about hiring their -insert relative whose profile sucks here - in networking events at my school in Canada.

Was quite shocked at first, but used to it now.

In NY - We had an intern who's dad was the partner of the PE firm that we won a huge sellside mandate for. His resume had typos and he was pretty bad. He got a full time offer

Just the way the game works unfortunately. Seen it more than once

PWM and real estate seem to have a particularly high number of family/friend hires

Sons and daughters of established bankers or global heads in all areas can get access to any internship at most of bb firms.

Otherwise wealth management is the clear cut nepo job for most ‘finance’
children

M&A at GS, JPM, and others in Seoul (KOR).
