FT Partners

Hi Monkeys! I'm considering a lateral to FT Partners because I'm interested in the fintech space, but I have a friend who works there and he said that the culture is terrible, everyone is overworked, they spend more time working on teasers than actual modeling, and the exit opportunities are poor because PE firms know employees don't develop as good modeling skills as they would at other banks. Does anyone have any insight?

Hi everyone! anyone have updates on FT Partners recruiting timeline for summer analyst roles?

04 Aug 2021

Anyone knows them and can say what this is? Feels like the worst ranking I have ever seen and do not know what assumptions are behind this. Thought I would share since WSO Monkeys love to rank Banks, Cities, Deals and whatever can be ranked in the world of finance. 1. FT Partners 2. Evercore 3. Guggenheim 4. Solomon 5. Harris WIlliams 6. Lazard 7. Barclays 8. Guggenheim Securities (do not ask me why they separate between Internships) 9. PWP 10. Houlihan Lokey (Additionally I like how controversial this list is compared to WSO so wanted to see some comments on this) Source: https://firsthand.co

I had a first technical round and then on to superday. Does anybody know the typical recruiting structure for FT partners? Like will there still be a technical focus at superday even though I had an initial strictly technical round? Also does anybody know kinda how many offers they give after superday? I'm trying to see if I should get my hopes up or not

Hello everyone. I am a big collector of coins and I heard that this year's FTP Partners bonus was a very special Commemorative Coin over a cash bonus because well duh, the coin is worth SO much more than any bonus!! I am looking to buy it and add it to my coin collection. I understand how secretive FTP is so I will keep the transaction as anonymous as possible. I will pay TOP TOP dollar, maybe even the size of a Wells Fargo bonus. And for the person who sent this, I took out the EXIF data and I am on a proxy so Mr. Jeff Wong, don't bother hiring a bunch of IT people trying to find out who is

Would love to hear people's thoughts on the comparison between Wells Fargo IB (platform offer - all divisions and locations) vs. a small tech boutique (think USA/GCA/FTP in NY office) for SA position. Here's what's important to me: Learning experience & responsibility Potential to re-recruit for full time at BB or EB Exit ops - preferable PE or lateral, and the more optionality the better Getting experience in tech/TMT (whether at SA stage or later on) Culture Thank you so much for sharing. This community has been incredibly helpful throughout recruiting.

Hey Guys, any views on the London office of FT Partners? Especially exit into Growth Equity / PE firms?

19 Sep 2019

Does anyone here have any experience with the London Office of FTP? Same culture like the US or any better? Hours during the week and on the weekends? I was thinking about applying due to the Fintech focus and deal flow but really not sure if I want to be part of this firms culture. On the other hand if I do not take this offer I would probably join a Big 4 firm in their M&A or FDD department, and it will probably be way harder to lateral to a BB, EB or MM Boutique. Any thoughts?

heard some pretty horrid stuff about FT but this was mainly US offices - was wondering if the culture/deal flow is similar in London i understand its only been around for a few years and it's their newest office looking for info at analyst level - also any info on salary + bonus would be appreciated

Hi WSO, there are a few Topics but it seems like people are talking about NY and SF. Whats it like in London at the moment? Any Interns, Analysts or Associates who want to share their experiences? Hours worked, culture within the team? I can not imagine that it is as bad as it seems from reading old WSO discussions. What do the typical deals look like? There is lots of financing from what I have heard. What is happening on the M&A side tho?

Wondering about everyone's thoughts on the following three banks and locations for a 2019 IB Analyst Internship: Baird Milwaukee, William Blair Chicago, FT Partners San Francisco. I'm interested to hear people's thoughts and experiences at the companies, cities, and advice you may have on deciding between them.

OK, so here is the deal; recently left a top shop for personal reasons and started to recreate some of the analysis / models and have been working with a few HFs to give them more information than they would typically get from the street. So far so good. turns out to be pretty profitable but i can't keep up. I'm looking for a few people to help me as i can't keep up with the demand. don't want people working elsewhere and am looking for either FT Partners or part timers who can pump out extremely high quality and detailed research. 2 questions..... does anyone know anyone else that is doing

All BS aside, why does FTP have such a bad rep (on this board)? Anyone who is currently working or has worked for them care to comment on their reputation/deal flow/pay/exit opps?

Can anyone provide any color on the following banks regarding their tech / fintech coverage? Any info appreciated regarding dealflow, comp, culture, etc. How would you rank them? For NYC. * Jefferies * Cowen * Nomura * Rothschild * PJ Solomon * FT Partners * GP Bullhound
