Jefferies- can give more specifics if you like
Guggenheim hands down
@Goblan Why do you say that? I know they worked on some large deals last year but their deal size really seems to vary and it seems like they would have limited exit opps.
Both great shops, but Jefferies in my opinion Opinion based on: culture/hours/exit ops (especially out of the top groups like HC). Comp won't vary much at the junior levels.
if you can get into a good group at Jefferies then take jeff. Guggenheim has a great story and great momentum over the last 6 months, but it doesn't have any established precedents of exits
If you want an experience that will result in strong IB analytics, definitely Guggenheim.
Guggenheim is a sweatshop but they give analysts a ton of responsibility. I know first years at BBs that haven't touched a model yet, but know people at Gugg who were assigned modeling assignments from week 1
Serious question: what kind of BB hasnt let some of their first yr analysts even touch a model yet? It is like February now after all...
Jefferies due to their past record of exits into PE when compared with Guggenheim.
IB- Jefferies Trading- Guggenheim hands down
Jefferies does place into MM funds. Most of the analysts are from HC or M & A as far as I know.
Bump. Any info on the Jefferies tech group (NY)?
Guggenheim!
Guggenheim
Would definitely go Jefferies here. Awesome momentum and better, more established buyside placement
Guggenheim works on mega deals, places kids into good hedge funds, pays way above street (in the 160-180 range all-in) and has great culture (probably the best out there). They have also been growing their analyst base to support an ever increasing deal volume. Don't get how this is even a reasonable question...
Guggenheim is a great firm - don't get me wrong - but I think this is being a little too charitable. I just checked their website and saw three "mega" deals ($17bn M&A deal in September, $22bn M&A deal from April, and of course the Verizon-Vodafone deal from last year).
Also, a quick glance at LinkedIn will show that Jefferies also places analysts well. Providence (BSP), Avenue, Visium, Oak Hill, and GI are a few funds analysts have exited to in the last couple of years. And on the point of deal flow, Jefferies is the clear winner; they're known for being an extremely scrappy, MM-focused firm that cranks out tons of deals. Guggenheim is great, as I mentioned earlier, but it's definitely not in a different league from JEF
Da Gugg hands down.
