I'm a Jefferies lover, which I can expain if asked – also, I think that RBS is in Stanford CT or something miserable like that.
Explain please.
They are one of the last independent investment banks left on the street: they have a great vice chairman, Bob Lessin who is one of the greatest tech bankers and prolific venture capitalists out there. Ben Lorello is head of capital markets, they are getting bigger deals + they have a reputation for hiring hot girls. I can see them being a bulge bracket in years to come, like Lehman or Bear at the least. Also, their CEO has been at the helm for a long time, which is rare. Let the shit storm begin!
JEF
Unarguably Jefferies
RBS
So what are the hours and pay like compared to a BB? What would be the selling points of taking Jefferies or other MM over a BB for s&t?
call me insane--
but i took jeffco over Citi, baml, and RBS fixed income
Citi was in london (didnt really want to go there)
RBS is a rubbish Bank, even here in the U.K. Their culture is very unfriendly and for some odd reason, they have a real chip on their shoulder.
Putting the intangible prestige aside, what are the hours and pay like compared to a BB in S&T? And who are the people you work with? HYP, lower 50 schools, well rounding, high achievers?
