Closest thing to prop at BB?

Hi,

I know banks have severely cut prop trading and the relative desks, but I know a lot of BB's are still running proprietary risk in some format.

Does BAML still have a prop desk/ special situations/ global macro desk? If so what is it called?

Input appreciated. Thanks.

Sales & Trading Mock Coffee Chat

“Markus was incredibly generous with his time and expertise throughout my Goldman Sachs Sales & Trading HireVue preparation. He didn't just review my answers, he taught me how to think about what interviewers are actually listening for: conviction, specificity, and the ability to defend a number rather than just state one. He pushed back on answers that were too polished or vague, and encouraged real honesty in the harder questions rather than letting me smooth over anything uncomfortable, which made a genuine difference in the quality of my prep. His questions, particularly the AI-focused ones, forced me to think much more critically about my own experiences rather than recycling generic stories. I feel significantly more prepared going into this process because of the time he invested in helping me get here.”
