BNP S&T
Any thoughts on BNP Paribas S&T? I know very little about them. How's working there? How good are they at what they do? etc.

Is this in the U.S, the U.K. or France? While their advisory division is a blip on the map, their S&T division is pretty solid in London. Not quite as quantitatively focused as SocGen, which is a good thing because they weren't as concerned with making ridiculously complicated and in the end utterly useless derivatives. Nonetheless, as with everything French, you better have solid math skills.
I would expect comp. slightly below what American BBs in London pay at the junior level and unless you're on one of their hottest desks, half of what others at BBs make at senior levels. Structuring at BNP in the last few years was a great gig, but that doesn't seem very promising for the foreseeable future.
Finally, if you're working in France, expect less comp, better benefits and an even stronger focus on your quant skills.
In the US, associate level. Is it like London? My impression is that they're small relatively speaking in the US. I could be completely off base though as I know very little.
They're definitely a pretty small player in the U.S. However, they've weathered the crunch better than most so it could be a great place to start. If you want to exit to the buyside, you'll want to land on one of their hotter desks and knowing what those desks are these days isn't easy.
Any idea on what kind of interview questions to expect. My past S&T interviews have been market focused with a few brainteasers. I hear these guys like to drill options like crazy. Can anyone confirm or disconfirm (or whatever the word opposite of confirm is).
