Hey folks, I'm chatting with the boys at Sanford Bernstein in equity research - any comment on their reputation in NYC? I'm moving to the london office but wondering what the rep is like at Sanford? Is it as good as a bulge bracket? How are the exit options? I would be coming in as a post-MBA associate. Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

A friend of mine has a sibling that works there, pretty senior guy (I believe he made partner). Anyway, he pulls in probably a million a year, if I had to guess. From what I've always understood, he really likes the job. I'm not sure about exit opps, but a million bucks a year is pretty solid.
Sanford's ER is top notch. I've chatted with a VP trader there that says their volume is up due to their agency only approach and their premier research product. This is probably one of a few places where ER Analysts can be directly credited for bringing in commissions.
Interesting a million seems in-line, so nothing special. The independent model is appealing but I think the SB name is only restricted to New York.
Ha, I wouldn't call a million "nothing special." And don't reply with some dumb shit like "well, banking MDs at BBs make like $10 million a year!" cause that's irrelevant to the topic, you coward.
haha, you're calling me a coward for something I haven't said.
1 million in ER is in-line with the street pay for ER anywhere, so it's not like one would be going there for the money. In fact, a senior analyst could make a reasonable bit more by working at a bulge bracket.
Ladies and Gentleman - here we have the dumbest man in the history of time. No hyperbole. I promise.
Listen, puppet...you'd better cool your jets or I'll leave you looking like Ratking.
Apparently they are also super academic and there is little buzz on the research desk, compared to other houses where people make trades on nonsense monthly sales numbers.
Their ER is def on par with BB research teams on the street. I worked in BB research and they were one of our competitors so to speak. The building in midtown is also really nice.
their ER has a really great reputation from what i know, definitely on par with BB...just see how often they're quoted in the wsj.
From the research that I've read, SB ER > BB ER.
Just my 2c.
anyone know of the pay for a first year associate?
TheKing you don't deserve that star next to your name.
According to the most relevant rankings, SB is better than all the BBs.
Hey ratul,
What finally happened to your conversations with the folks at SCB? I am in a similar boat - interested in getting your perspectives on the exit options, and how it all worked out.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Very focused on raw intellectual ability. Don't be surprised if you get asked for GMAT and SAT quant scores.

Hi,
I'm looking for the equity research role ideally with one of the IBs. Recently however an alumni from my college encouraged me to apply to Sanford Bernstein. I've heard about them but would be grateful for your opinion on how b-schools perceive Sanford Bernstein. Is it as good as IBs and strat houses or much weaker? Also, is I'd like to move to any of the IBs (for a research or M&A role) straight from Sanford Bernstein (without doing an MBA) what chances would I have?
thanks
for independent research, obviously, they are considered to be among the top places.
