Obviously Trauber is a badass (though I've heard mixed things on working for the guy)... but there are a lot of mouths to feed over there now. Also expect some departures given the influx of people, so who knows whether those will be important or addition by subtraction. In the end it can only help C, as their energy team wasn't very well regarded before the UBS arrival...but that doesn't mean they are taking over the space any time soon.

Agree with Monty and Cartwright. Not sure why they would be on the way to number 1 when UBS wasn't #1 and Citi didn't have a very strong group before.

define solid?

A well-respected place with good deal-flow, culture, hours etc which will at least open up good opportunities for FT positions, if not being a great FT position itself.

Those spots are pretty much filled or have offers out. There are local banks you can intern at and leverage into offers at other places. A place like Gulfstar Group (yes where Jeffrey Chiang interned) is a solid option
