0 So retarded to say this shit when there are so many Indians and south asians working in high finance. Especially considering most are American born. How is this obvious colorism and racism even allowed on this forum? DebitSuisse

0 Jeff HC has very solid exits; lots of UMM exits from the group. RBC PU&I also is really strong for infra with UMM/MF exits. BofA middle market group is rightfully a meme. Unsure on the rest. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
