Are you interested in being an associate at an EB in the restructuring group? I’m a VP and looking for some good candidates.
Drop me a PM with a few bullets on your experience, why you like restructuring, and why we should bring you in for an interview. Obviously previous rx experience is ideal.
I’d like to help bring in a few folks from WSO in to interview. Help me help you.

Baird, that you?
On the off chance it is / you have insight - curious what the deal with the team is. I never heard of them as having a big rx presence, but they seem to be ramping up aggressively. Were there some meaningful senior hires I should’ve noticed who are ramping up to go big?
Durc Savani from Gugg: https://www.wsj.com/articles/baird-hires-veteran-banker-to-launch-restr…
(I'm not OP)
No, existing EB, already large in the space
Could it be Piper?
Hou do you know they're ramping up aggressively? I thought they are keeping things Lokey
Thanks for helping the community!
The community is helping the VP lol. Restructuring firms are having a hard time hiring after seeing a significant amount of exits with limited interest from your traditional sources of lateral candidates.
Meh, not really. Rx has slowed down a bit so we’re fine. Actually was just kind of feeling altruistic last night. Feel free to apologize and then DM me why you may be interested in the role.
Trying to snag that sweet $10k recruiting referral bonus?
why are you all so concerned about dunking on each other. if the guy gets 10k, and you get a job, isn't that a win-win?
If i told you that the process of sifting through random PMs on WSO, setting up follow-on calls, talking to HR to get people in, then convincing people on my team to spend time talking to you, is not worth $5,000 after tax to me, would you be surprised? Am I being ridiculous by saying I don't care about $5K after tax?
I care about helping people deserving who may not otherwise have a shot, and for bringing good talent into my group.
Everyone knows how many people are begged to join PJT/HL/LAZ lmao
For VPs/MDs who try to build out a team at a bank, as in this scenario, how do they normally go about filling in junior talent? I would suspect they first look at their network, but would they really know a number of people with a certain niche background? Do the otherwise use the usually channels such as HH/formal website job postings?
Yes to all. Less external recruiters. There are internal lateral recruiters with a core part of their job being to find candidates so they will email ppl on LinkedIn etc.
meant to reply to this
Thanks for doing this.
What are some of the benefits of your EB Rx platform that would interest someone in potentially switching from another EB in Rx?
You tryna get him to doxx the firm/himself? lol
Probably not much at the analyst level except 1) you had a falling out with someone on your team or 2) you want to do more or a different kind of restructuring and ur stuck on a bad deal in your limited time as an analyst and can't get off, or 3) you want to stay as an associate and the opportunity is not there for wtvr reason.
At the associate level its a bit of the same at the analyst level + you don't see opportunity above you to grow
At the VP/MD level it's because you're not feeling like the promotion path is there or someone senior has it out for you
At the partner level it's because you're competing with your other partners and want more flexibility / white space another platform may provide for wtvr reason
Thanks for doing this.. unfortunately not in a position to apply but am surprised at how many people are whining/complaining on here like wtf is wrong with y’all.
Same, not sure what the deal is
I appreciate this, but I’m just an intern. If you don’t mind, how would you compare career banking in RX vs in M&A? I’ve heard it’s harder to bring in clients when the time comes
Harder in rx or M&A?
I heard RX but idk what to believe
Let's be honest here, the less you rely on HR to recruit, the better it is.
Absolutely
Presume you're only looking for US candidates and not European?
Yea…NY
do you sponsor?
Are you able to disclose desired start date, location, and WFH ability?
Are you looking for an analyst as well?
Would you consider candidates with restructuring consulting background?
Sure
Hi,
I sent you a message a couple of days ago. Will appreciate if you can take a look. Thank you.
.
Hi,
Thanks for posting. I'm not at any level of experience for what you are looking for but am interested in pursuing a career in Restructuring. I am a current Econ graduate student with prior treasury and corporate development experience. If you ever have time for an informational conversation with someone who'd like to break into restructuring, your time would be appreciated.
Thanks
What advice would you give to someone who is currently working in RX consulting (AP / A&M) thinking of moving to RX banking apart from looking at the restructuringinterviews and wallstreetprep course?
Also how would you say a VP role on RX banking is diff to VP in M&A? It seems to be RX is much more MD driven than M&A to an extent?
Would send you a DM but not based in USA so couldn't apply either way to your firm.
Guy makes a post to give people a chance to interview in case they are looking for a job and just gets tons of flak lol. Love seeing others get hate just like me. Makes me feel not alone.
I see 12 SB and no money shit… might just be you buddy
Have an associate opening at my firm (a boutique shop) for an IB Rx role in the Greater Chicago area. Let me know if you're interested.
Very interested 3.6 gpa sophomore at 26 years old, can only pm you in2 days bc new account, if you have an email can write right away
Speak 4 languages, basketball pro
I'll DM you.
Personally not my interest but good luck everyone! Good to see people recruit on here.
Hi, if you are ever hiring again, I would appreciate the opportunity to connect.
I have Rx and M&A experience.
Thanks
Is it too late to transition into RX from an IB An1 M&A background? Does anyone have any experience in doing this
VPs in the industry still use the term “EB?”
