I was wondering if anyone had any insight into any of the industry coverage groups at SMBC. I know that they pretty much do corporate bank functions for most of their work, but would love to hear if anyone knew any specifics about certain groups.
How to go about Group Placement
Hi All, I wanted to get all of your opinions on how to go about group placement because I personally have no idea what product/coverage group I am interested in. Are there any resources I should look at to gauge my interest or is it all about connecting with the certain people from each group?...
Stuck in Power and Energy PE? (Repost)
Currently in a MM industry-specific boutique firm in the power and energy space. Are my PE exits going to be limited to only infra/power/energy PE firms? I've also heard though that because this modeling is some of the hardest it's a desirable skill to be good at and that you could go to any...

LEARNING AN INDUSTRY BEFORE FT ROLE
Hi guys, To give some context I have quite a number of weeks free, and was considering learning about a specific coverage group before I join an BB in London. I haven't been assigned a group yet. My reasoning was that, if I chose to learn about TMT for instance, that I could reach out to people on...
Barclays NYC Top Coverage Groups (Updated 2022)
Wondering if anyone has updated information on the top groups at Barclays NYC right now -- in terms of exit opps, culture, etc. From the research I've done on this site, I see P&U, NatRes, and Financial Sponsors consistently being listed at the top, but it's a bit less clear how the other coverage...
RBC PU&I Review?
Hi Everyone, Just wondering if anyone has any insight on RBC's PU&I group? I have heard they are pretty good, but also see them posting the analyst role literally every 30 days...What is going on over there? Are people lateralling to better opps after a couple months or are they just flat out...
Coverage vs Product Team
Hi everyone, for a summer intern role, I'm asked if I would prefer to work in coverage or in a team sector.

Post MBA Coverage IB to RX
Hey fellow monkeys, I am current 2nd year MBA who has summered at a BB coverage group and who has signed a return offer. However, I have recently gotten some decent exposure to the RX side of things, and I have to admit I really like it. I was wondering if any of you have anecdotes of post MBA...
Switching Groups within EB
Does anyone have experience switching groups within an EB? Work at (MOE/LAZ/PWP) and curious if there is the possibility of switching groups before a 3rd year (I know 3rd year switching is possible if spots open up). Specifically, anyone hear of someone switching within the 1st year if you were...
Investment Banking - Calgary
The Calgary threads on this forum (few and far between as they may be) are a bit scattered with a lot of the info a few years stale. I figured I would take advantage of some of my downtime during Stampede (while I am still sober) to maybe get some fresh info from the Street. Some items for my...
How much to prioritize coverage group for future career prospects?
I lateraled into IB recently and bc I wasn't in a position to be picky (I was gonna take any offer I was lucky enough to land), I landed in a coverage group (healthcare) that I don't necessarily want to be in long term. The firm is an elite boutique (Lazard/Gugg/PWP/etc) and I'm really happy...
Industry vs product interview and cover letter focus
When applying for a coverage group, obviously there will be many classic IB interview questions. However, how much technical knowledge do you must have about the industry?

Coverage Bankers - What is the toughest part of the job?
What is the toughest part of being a coverage banker? From a technical modelling perspective, I have always thought that M&A modelling is handled by the M&A group while ECM takes care of capital raises. So do coverage bankers focus mostly on the relationship-building aspect of the business and...

Has anyone made the transition from a coverage group like Healthcare/Energy/ FIG /Real Estate into product groups like M&A? How difficult was the transition?

BB Summer Analyst, Do I go for Lev Fin or a Coverage Group?
Do I go for Leveraged Finance or a Coverage Group if private equity is what I'm interesting in pursuing long term?
Lateraling as analyst-Less relevant group with lots of deal flow vs relevant group with none??
Recently finished as a summer analyst in a LevFin group of a large non-BB bank (BMO, WFS, RBC) in their east coast office. Not wanting to risk ending up with nothing, I accepted a full time offer to comply with exploding offer deadline. Problem is, I don't want to do debt long term and I don't find...
You don't know what you don't know
Since queueing up a handful of meetings, coffee chats, and quasi-interviews, I've begun to think a lot more about markets/sectors/industries that I wish I knew more about—if anything, just for fun and for the sake of engaging conversation with colleagues or in interviews.

Hi everybody, I know that there are spread discussions here and there on WSO , but as I am now applying for jobs in IB and realistically will enter the job market in Jan 2015 (signed a contract for a grad program), maybe before (I got an interview on Monday for a short internship), I was wondering...

Coverage Group Question
Do certain coverage groups have one product that comes through them more than others? For example would an Industrials Coverage Group see more debt related products compared to a Tech group? Would the a coverage group at Bank X see different types of products than the same coverage group at Bank Y?

How to get into a tech group

Hi, 2 random questions I have trouble with: 1) What is the chance of moving to PE after +/- 2yrs as an Associate (post MBA) in the BB's COVERAGE group?
