Hello all, I've been doing my research and I can't find a lot about BNP in Madrid. From the rankings, they'll end 2021 in 3rd place in IB in Spain, which is pretty impressive, but I would like to know how it does in terms on salary and prestige, since it's not a BB nor a EB... Anyone has something...

I posted this yesterday but it was reported/flagged because it was written in spanish: Not long ago I found about this website, which is really helpful, and after reading about some "non-target --> BB", I was wondering if any Spaniard has a similar story. I have seen that most of those who work at...

Hi all, does anybody know what salary should be expected for an IB Associate position in Madrid (let's say in M&A/Capital Markets). I presume it varies a lot between BBs and non-BBs but I have no direct information and what I have found on here is a bit outdated. Thank you!

hey guys I would like to know if it's possible to have a career in corporate finance in Madrid when you're a foreigner? The reason I'm asking is cause my wife's employer has offered her something there and so I'd like to assess whether it could make sense I speak fluent Spanish but I hear a lot that...

Hi All, I'm currently a junior at an SEC school and looking to break into Investment banking some how some day.

My kids are on spring break for the next couple weeks and I was walking them to the park yesterday afternoon when I was suddenly surrounded by riot cops and TV cameras. Admittedly I was looking down at my phone and not paying attention, but it was surprising how quickly it happened. I looked up and...

Hi! Next semester, I will be studying abroad in Spain. I'm very excited about it, since I loved the country when I visited and think this would be a unique opportunity to live there and learn Spanish fluently. However, I know their economy sucks and is not the most obvious choice for a...

I recently completed my first trip to Spain and before leaving, I couldn't help but wonder whether the effects of the sour economy there would make themselves noticeable to the average tourist. The answer was surprisingly: Not really. Of course, since it was my first trip there I didn't have much of...

It's good to be back, monkeys. I hope you enjoyed some of the re-posts of my older stuff while I was gone, but I'm ready to get back into the swing of things after a couple weeks off. I thought I'd start with how the vacation went and some of the decisions I made while I was gone. By the way, did...

In the past few months, we have witnessed a rise in the questioning the stability of the eurozone. Much of the focus has been on Greece and the June 17th elections (which have led to more confusion). The winner of the Greek elections, pro-euro New Democracy, has the next two days (give or take) to...

If you're at all interested in the sovereign debt markets, you've no doubt seen the wild swings in Spanish debt this week. The following is a good explanation of what's going on and, while I don't agree with Henry that the Keynesians are right, it is a downright ugly situation for Spain (and Italy...

In this week's episode of the never-ending "Who's Going To Default This Week?" sitcom, our contestant is Spain, who is fresh off electing a conservative supermajority in a landslide over the weekend, led by Mariano Rajoy. Nobody was really expecting anything different, but when your opponent comes...

Spain and Italy, both who are prone to and are EASILY experiencing a 3% drop on any negative news, finally surrendered from the short selling pressures: They declared, no more short selling are allowed anymore! So, do you think this measure will likely avert them from the coming crisis? I translate...

In the toppling line of dominoes that is the Eurozone, one has come out in defiance of the bears. "I should warn those investors who are short selling Spain that they are going to be wrong and will go against their own interests" So said Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, after...

Soros recently asserted that Europe could be more dangerous to the global financial markets than the default of Lehman Brothers in 2008, because of the political stubbornness of European policy makers. He has been saying this for over two years now, while government officials continue to ignore him,...

I've been thinking about this issue for quite a while. If you look back at historical economic events, most of the accounts suggest a very clear message to us: Let the countries in strains voluntarily or be forced to devalue their currencies. By doing so, they could get back to balance.

The markets have been choppy of late, due in no small part to the bit of drama playing out in the EU right now. A couple of EU nations are against the ropes in a big way, and there doesn't seem to be a coherent plan in place yet to deal with this next step of the crisis. At the center of the problem...

For those (other than the Chinese government) looking to diversify out of U.S. dollars, it might be time to start looking at Spain. I'll admit that I have an advantage living next door in France, but this is a situation I've been watching for some time now. The Spanish economy is entering a...
