So you're currently an analyst at UBS and summered at DB
Close but no cigar
LOL my thoughts exactly when i read this post.. this guy needs to be less obvious
On the money lol. My exact thoughts
Barclays and DB most likely. Most FT hires at Barclays end up in capital markets
I would recruit ASAP and continuously as much as motivation allows for lateral spots as market is hot right now.
If you genuinely like the bank tho, baml or barc, take the offer to your MD and leverage it to see if he can squeeze you into another coverage or M&a group by talking to another md. If not then take the offer you got.
even with having less than a month actually on the desk?
Yes, i know 2 people who have lateraled as first years (just out of college and training). Not the best look, but market is hot and opportunities are there. If you don’t someone else will.
Bruh is this fake who comps UBS to BofA and DB to CS
you work at CS huh :/
