What would you base your team decision on?
I have to make my team decision for the analyst position I am starting in a BB in July. What I would like to know, what should I base my decision on? I have a welcome event coming up during which I will be able to ask current team members and get an idea of which team to go for?
So far I am thinking:
How many deals do you complete on a year?
What's the split between pitching and live-deals?
How many analysts to a deal/MD?
Chance of attending client meetings in my first year?
While these are certainly relevant, you should also consider the team's culture. Your "fit" is probably going to play a larger role in the quality of your experience than any of the things you mentioned. Also, you should work in a group that interests you...i.e. if you are a tech junky, try to get into TMT.
The more analysts there are working with the MD, the less hell your life is going to be especially if you have a nightmare MD. Attending client meetings? Everyone gets to do that. The client won't remember you anyway.
Factors I'd consider apart from how many deals I work on get to close (which seems to be the only relevant consideration in your list) would be what are hours like, are people nice or a real nightmare to work with, has the sector got good exit opportunities etc
Good questions. You may also want to ask them what they think the outlook for their particular group is over the next 12 months. Could ask them how transferable the numerical skills gained in that group are also.
It would be hilarious to hear how each industry/product group tries to create an argument that they in fact will not be affected by the downturn, but everyone else will.
