Nomura

Anyone know what their timeline is? Not sure if the release applications on their website or if you apply through your school career portal.

There are a few older threads addressing this. However, if anyone can provide insights into Nomura and any top groups they may have + culture + exit opps + etc..., that would be great. Am also curious to hear more about Nomura Greentech and how that compares to Nomura along with other eco-focused...

How would you rank Nomura in 2020 in terms of culture, prestige, exit ops, and comp? What are some of the stronger groups within Nomura and what does the recruiting for these groups look like? Thanks in advance

15 Jun 2020

Can any buy-side traders speak to trading with Nomura counterparts? I'm considering an offer and looking for some insight on how smooth these transactions are, and how I've been told that prices and volume are competitive but want more perspective. Thanks

Can someone elaborate on the culture of Japanese Banks in the united states? I have heard that their culture is more respective and collegial. Typically less facetime than other banks. I just would like to know more.

Hey guys, the title says it all. I recently received an IBD summer analyst offer from here. How would you rank its groups in the US (deal flow, culture, reputation)? Also, where do you see Nomura in the next 5 years? I'm a little worried that a Japanese bank in the US won't have the best deal flow,...

Hi all - I'm a math and econ major from a top-20 US school, just got an offer for Nomura S&T which I'm very excited about. Had a few questions - 1) What is Nomura's reputation, especially in terms of S&T, 2) What kind of activities do summer analysts do (I don't know if I'll actually be trading or...

Hi everyone - would love to hear about Nomura and how they compare to their competitors. Additionally, how do their M&A and ECM teams perform? Thank you!

24 May 2021

Greatly appreciate your opinion. Little bit about me, non-target school with 1.25 yr working experience at a BB in quantitative analytics role. BR pay slightly less than NM. But its not a concern for me. I like both opportunities and I know they drive me towards completely different directions. The...

Hi. I'd really appreciate your opinions about my first career! I have job offers from ML FICC sales and from Nomura IBD and I'm deciding which one to take. Given I initially wanted to work at IBD, I should take the latter. I heard, however, work experiences at one of the Bulge Bracket companies make...

From efinancialcareers: Nomura confirms it: M&A and capital markets businesses are just not very profitable. Macquarie pays head of risk twice head of M&A by Sarah Butcher If you work in M&A or capital markets (collectively known as IBD), you may be a loss leader. Don't, therefore, expect to get...

It was just two short months ago... We were coming of the holiday high and I suggested $150 oil by June of 2011. Very few agreed with the suggestion at the time. Today, I'm back to cattle prod you about it. As Saudi Arabia's predicted Day of Rage approaches, options traders have been buying $200...

I am a sophomore at Baruch College majoring in Applied Math. And I am interested in a career and a summer analyst internship next year in credit risk at a BB IB.

I have offers for summer analyst positions at JP Morgan Investor Services (hopefully in the Prime Brokerage team) and at Nomura IBD, both of which are in London. My long term goal is to work in IBD and eventually cross over to PE so Nomura makes more sense for developing my skill set and showing my...

Hey guys, I recently posted a question asking whether I should take SA Macquarie IBD over HSBC Strategic Transactions Group (both in NYC), and I can safely say that I'd much rather prefer Macquarie over HSBC in the NY office. However, I'm now faced with the choice between Macquarie and Nomura IBD,...

Nomura IBD (mainly M&A and LevFin) or BNP Paribas (Acquisition Finance)? Both are off cycle internships in Europe. I feel the personal fit at both banks is good. The BNP team deals only with corporate clients (PE is handled by another team), however, they offered me to join the M&A team for one...

13 Jun 2017

Hey All, I've read a lot of topics here and I know some of you guys are way more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to IBD vs AM and specific firms. I've got a specific question I hope you guys could help me out with. What are your thoughts on compensation/exit opps/the street's view/etc. on...

Anyone ever had to do a modeling test for Nomura? I'm interviewing from a smaller bank and want to know what to expect. I've done a few of these recently and they vary a lot from firm to firm as to what they expect; this one will be 90 minutes-2 hours.

According to BBC News, Nomura made a very bold move this week by appointing its first female CEO. Junko Nakagawa joined Nomura Securities Co. in 1988, working at its underwriting and finance divisions before leaving the company in 2004. This could start a trend in upward mobility for women in the...

Hey guys, GS/MS/CS Debt Origination within Financing or a Nomura/RBC IBD M&A/Lev Fin role? What do you think? Specifically if I am looking at exit opps in the realm of HF not PE. Also, after spending some time in the Financing group, do you think it would be possible to switch to IBD at the former...

What is it like working in an industry group? Heard a lot about levfin and m&a but what about groups like healthcare?

I have two summer analyst internship offers -- ECM at BAML, and IBD at Nomura. I loved the people at both, and am having a hard time deciding.

Hello everyone! A buddy of mine is going to be working at Nomura this summer. I was wondering if anybody knows whether there are any days of the week that are WFH.

I will be working in Nomura's Global Markets division this summer. I was wondering if anyone had advice on what I could do to prep for this internship in the months ahead of summer?

Any opinions on Nomura entering the US Announced M&A League Tables for 2010? Is this indicative of success of their concerted efforts to grow their US IBD operations? Any take on the group in 2011?

19 Jan 2011

Hey guys, I have two unrelated questions. I. was just curious about Nomura's reputation -- what banks is it on par with? 2. When applying for banking and trading internships/jobs in the US, what kind of value is placed on experience abroad? I was thinking of maybe trying to get an internship...

Hi guys, So I've just been offered a summer analyst internship at Nomura (finance division).

Hey just curious to know your thoughts on Nomura, esp FIG, and TMT groups v/s waiting for other BBs.

Looks like they've been hiring a lot of senior bankers lately. Thoughts on their banking division in the US? Specifically regarding M&A, FIG, and Consumer/Retail groups. How are the exit opps and pay (bonuses)? Thanks in advance.
