Been working in infra for a number of years so I would say the following:
- Huge turnover, they are constantly recruiting juniors and approached the market for a VP role. After a quick search on LinkedIn, you can see that most of them don't last more than 18 months
- Very political and demanding. Working atmosphere is awful with very sharp elbow partners trying to screw each others in order to promote their own transactions (to be confirmed if still true, this was the case few years ago)
- Comps is lower than peers (unless you make it to VP where you get access to carry)
Any idea about WLB from a junior perspective?
If it has not changed since my last insights, I think it's pretty terrible. Banking 2.0 without the perks and prestige of a MF.
Do a quick search on LinkedIn, usually not a good sign when you have so much turnover at the entry level.
agree - said similar on a different DWS thread bc the juniors were from low quality banks and I view that as a red flag
Any news views on this topic?
As far as I am aware, it has not changed. They are actually recruiting across Asso and Director at the moment, question mark on whether this is due to growth or just replacing the turnover which is pretty high
Heard from a head hunter it was because of growth. I keep getting mixed reviews about wlb and comp. I spoke to a few people there and they actually sound nice and smart. Not sure what their deal is tbh
