Bump
I remember a bunch of people who went to ok places (off the top of my head: Brookfield, EQT, Lonestar and one or two others). I got interviews from most places and headhunters called me every week. The reality is also that a lot of people stay because the culture (group dependent) isn’t that bad, what other offers have you got?
Offers in terms of groups you mean?
Other banks. Groups within Citi won’t matter as long as you are either sector coverage (excluding FIG, RE and mining for obvious reasons) or M&A. It’s more down to your own prep, your modelling experience and your other skills (languages etc)
I’m former citi London alum. Spent time in both FIG and TMT. It’s been a decade plus, but look back very fondly at my time there. Both teams had great culture and deal flow. And many of my friends in my groups went to top MFs. It’s been a while so please don’t ask me to compare / contrast now. That said, citi London always had and still has a solid reputation in London pe circle
It’s not been so great lately
Are you at citi ? I miss the thrill of having to plea with the prestech and print team last minute, hoping they would prioritize my job. Amazing days.
Incoming analyst here, why do you think so?
How so?
