Why does JPM have a better reputation than MS in London? (IBD)
Yeah, basically I think everyone would agree that GS and MS are the best M&A houses in the US (among the BBs at least). Why's that JPM is frequently ranked above MS in London? The most often London IBD ranking I've seen is something like: Tier 1: GS , JPM Tier 2: MS, CS I mean, MS tier 2? On the...

I did 1 year at one of the top restructuring shops (BX, HL , Moelis etc) and then moved on to a credit fund. I've been here for 1.5 years and love every minute of it.

Does FT training help? Let's Discuss?
Seems like everything I read about training is "best time of my life during my analyst years" "go out every night" "get hammered before work starts" so on and so forth.

The hedge fund job challenge... outside the US
I'm puzzled at how easy getting a hedge fund job in the US seems to be -at least relative to Europe-.

WSO London Drinks
Time for some more London drinks - the venue for the last one was a poor choice (my fault) as it was too crowded and people struggled to find each other. That is why this time I'm thinking we go back to the site of the first drinks - The George pub near Liverpool Street station - informal, easy to...

The depression is coming. No, not the financial markets. The depression I'm talking about is the rapidly approaching onset of winter.

Getting Old?
And again a year of banking here in London is over, everybody got their bonus numbers and from judging on M&I it has been worse than last year but not as bad as expected (arguably at some places it was pretty bad).
