What is the reputation of the Financial Institutions Group at Credit Suisse? Are they known to be anywhere near a top group at CS? Are they considered a top FIG group on the street? I saw they were on the WorldPay deal. Looking for guidance and advice to see if a lateral shift for an older friend of mine would be a good idea, some of our friends were saying yes and others said no so I thought I would get better advice here.

Not a top FIG group. Don't think they're a top group at CS either, but not positive.
The WorldPay deal was covered out of TMT.
How good is DB's FIG?
I don't think you want to be anywhere at DB right now
But I heard some groups are still good at DB? Sponsors, LevFin etc.
You are a "prospect"... you should be willing to suck dick to get to DB......
Seems like ur at DB?
No actually, at a bank traditionally considered better, however just going out to say too many of you are out here not knowing what you are talking about and these rankings and shit do not matter
Not a top group at CS. Apparently hours are long too.
Where have you read that? You know as a fact?
Based on interactions with people in that group. Top groups at CS are Sponsors, Lev Fin, TMT and M&A. I think Industrials are good too.
Deleted.
Not even close to FSG or LevFin at CS. Definitely much better FIG groups.
Which are the better FIG groups to be at?
GS/JPM
Is it good to be in FIG at a time like this where the business cycle could be slowing since FIG can be counter-cyclical?
Curious about this too
