How do you figure out the strengths of specific desks at a BB?
League tables I've seen only display broad generalizations (equities vs bonds). I'll be joining as a S&T summer analyst at a BB that has its strengths in FI moreso than equities, but I'm personally more interested in equities at the moment so I'm curious about whether it is still a good idea to join equities at this bank.
In addition, is there a tactful way to ask about how well a desk is doing during networking?
Coalition Tables show relative BB rankings, so you can get an idea of flow and marketshare. Additionally, check bank's earning reports or public statements- they occasionally comment on the performance of specific desks and asset classes.
unless you've actually traded a product and become intensely invested...there is a good chance that you have no idea what you like or would be good at. i would recommend getting exposure to FICC and see if it really is not for you before writing it off.
I understand your notion of wanting to go to a sustainable group, but I personally think it’s best to do what interests you the most (as said above). Life becomes a lot easier if you find your work interesting, you’ll likely be better at it too.
If you want to do equities my opinion is that it’s better to start in fi. Teaches you the building blocks of equities.
