s&t

Been spending quite a bit of time on both the HF and S&T forums and have found a big interest in global macro. I'm an incoming S&T analyst next summer on a rotational program and was wondering how I could land on / increase my chances of landing on certain desks (ex. rates, rates options, fx vol)?...

Ok, this might be a really stupid question, but I am new to recruiting for S&T from IB, so I know all my technicals for that but how should I go about studying/recruiting for S&T and also, how do I know what Tables are at specific banks and their functions. Again really stupid question but I am new...

The short answer is yes. Background, there are plenty of jobs in the Quant Trading Realm. This is because banks, MM, and prop shops plan to give about anyone or every one the chance to interview in hopes of finding the .001%. While Quant Trading is in the Finance Realm, they are against hiring those...

Hi all, Been a member here for a while now and received lots of help so far. I am based in Europe and would appreciate some advice. I recently accepted a FT IBD offer at an "elite boutique" over a SA in S&T at a BB. I made my decision based on the fact that I have graduated already and was sort of...

Hello, I am a freshman at a semi-target university, and I think I've decided I want to try for fall recruitment. What is the best approach to it? I have very little experience with finance, and I wouldn't even know what jobs/bulge bracket firms I'd aim for. What can I do, or what should I do, to...

Hello, I am a freshman at a semi-target university. I recently became interested in the thought of having a job in finance. Ever since I decided to go for major in economics, the decision to pursue was always a question at the back of my mind. I think I want to try to go for recruiting in sophomore...

Is it possible to transition from a trading role at a large Oil company into an S&T role at a BB? Thanks

15 Mar 2023

I am currently an analyst 1 at a BB with less than 1yr YOE. I have an offer to join BCG Dubai as a junior associate. 1. My career goal is to become a commercial cofounder of a startup so consulting learning seems more relevant 2. Trading offers way higher salary, almost twice as high as consulting...

I have a weak GPA...

Heard back from both PIMCO and Barclays with offers for SA intern for summer 2023, wondering if anyone can give some insights into each of the programs and which one may be better for me. The PIMCO role is under PM team as a Trader SA (Newport Beach), while the Barclays one is in S&T for SArole (NYC...

I'll be doing a Wells Fargo equity S&T internship in NYC. It seems that Wells Fargo's SA program is a bit of a black box. Could y'all illuminate what it's like ex: hours (arrival, departure), work, competitiveness etc? Tips to succeed ex: which programming languages to learn, networking etc?

I am conflicting between Barclays S&T and Citi Quant at the moment. I am interested in derivative trading. From my understanding, both position are rotational program, however, I am not entirely sure if one can rotate to a trading position for Citi Quant. I would like to learn more about the...

Hi, I’m a junior at a target and I’m very fortunate to have offers for S&T at Bofa in NY and strategy consulting for EYP a mid-tier city. Interested in recruiting for management consulting (MBB) full time. I’m primarily interested in the position that will look the best on a resume and let me...

For those of you that have internally moved from S&T to IB at a BB...what was the process like and how long? Thanks in advance

Given the looming energy crisis and outlandish inflation in UK, is it still wise to do a BB S&T internship for Summer 2023 in London? (in terms of return offer and career potential)

31 Aug 2022

Hi all. I'm looking for advice on how to network internally with FO traders and transition out of my current MO job. Context- I work at a BB in Ops where I do trade booking and client support.

Essentially title. First week in an equity sales gig and looking to tap into the family office market for accounts. I've come across a few sites but wondering if any of them are worthwhile if I have Bloomberg and can just sort IS. Any color would be appreciated.

22 Aug 2022

I know I'm very lucky to be in this position and able to choose between two really great opportunities. I'm having trouble deciding and want to know what factors I should consider or weigh importantly. I'm a junior in undergrad and one of my offers is expiring soon. I've seen lots of posts comparing...

21 Aug 2022

I know it's still a bit early to ask this question but I am curious if the return rate for this summer would be low due to the huge intern class and not-good overall markets condition? currently an intern at one of the three, S&T division. Any insights would be really helpful!

26 Jun 2022

I am an incoming sophomore and am looking for a 2023 sophomore summer analyst position. MS only lets me apply to 3 and I cannot decide between S&T and GCM as my third. (IB and WM are the other two I am going for). I don't know exactly what I want to do career wise, probably IB initially, so which...

Current Situation: Just finished junior year, heading into the summer where I am doing a s&t program. I am considering going back after my senior year (which is 22-23) to do a masters in finance (23-24) and play out my last year of eligibility. Thoughts on going back for a fifth year and playing/...

I thought I would just get a post going discussing exit opps for S&T. I know it is commonly said that they aren't nearly as good as IB. However, I'm just curious what are some potential opportunities that I should look into. Thanks.

Stocks are known to significantly outperform bonds on a risk adjusted basis. This video breaks down one of the key theories as to why this has continued so persistently over the last 100 years. Would highly recommend watching if you are interested in markets. https://youtu.be/7r5uahuCRms

01 May 2022

Lately I was fortunate enough to receive three different SA opportunities from several BBs. I haven't seen a lot of discussion on CB and SP on the forum, and I'm curious why most people opt for IBD when all these divisions have similar pay and better wlb. Which is the better long term career for...

Edit Hi all, Could use some advice here. I have been in a Bulge Bracket S&T role within the Equities space for about ~3.5ish years. I have this potential opportunity to pivot to a smaller bank (middle market) within their S&T division. In my current role (BB S&T) it is hard to pivot to other areas...

Hi everyone,I was interviewing with Barclays for an S&T summer internship in Hong Kong about on 1st March. So, I was wondering if I'm already out? Or is it normal to wait such a long till the decision? Also, do they normally reach unsuccessful candidates? Also interested in waiting time for other...

I am currently in my second last term at uni. But, I am thinking of withdrawing from a second course this term (dropped one already) as I am quite burnt out. I already have a BB S&T SA this coming summer, but I would like to apply to other banks as well for full time and maybe even an entry analyst...

I'm interning in S&T (Sales track) at JP Morgan this summer and it's not a rotational program. This month, we essentially network with members of the 20+ desks to find a good fit before being officially assigned to a desk in March. I was wondering what the best desks are in Sales/Trading, both in...

As the title says, I’m a first year mba associate and am quickly realizing that I have very little interest in the transaction process. I find myself very bored and uninterested in the work. I really see myself in more of a markets role, as that is where my passion really is. What roles should I...

20 Dec 2021

Hi, I could really use some career advice. I'm graduating in Spring 2022 and luckily I've received a couple of really solid offers. Both are in S&T on the sales side. One is with PNC Bank on the rates desk and the other is with JPM in SPG (NYC). The pros to working with PNC are better work-life...

Looking for advice deciding between summer internships. Does anyone have experience choosing between BB S&T sophomore program vs. a MM/boutique IB if the end goal is BB IBD junior year? Worried about S&T making for a difficult “why IB” question when recruiting next year. Also, do people ever...

Hey guys, interesting news that all JPM analysts (regardless of industry) would make 100k base pay for the first year. Anyone have an idea for expected analyst 1 bonus ranges at JPM for the following?: IB S&T PWM AM

So, for context, I have a bsc in physics engineering, I just graduated from an msc in maths from oxbridge (albeit not with top grades, I got a 2:1 rather than a distinction) and i hold a deferred...

02 Nov 2021

How would a BB sophomore S&T internship fare if I wanted to try and recruit for IBD for junior summer? Would it be preferable to a boutique/MM IB gig by name recognition or are the skills/experiences not as relevant when interviewing for IB roles and “pigeonhole” you? Thanks for any advice.

30 Oct 2021

Hey WallStreetOasis, Hope y'all are well. Let's say an alumni from my school put me in touch with their colleagues in S&T. I had a good conversation with them and they ended the meeting with typical jargon: "You have my email," "Let me know if we can be of any help," etc. I made it clear during the...

Is S&T really the dead fish people make it ought to be? Being an A2, would i have the slightest chance to pivot to sales (same level at A2)...and is this even possible/worth it? Sales: better hours? IB: worse hours

20 Sep 2021

I was wondering if anyone can comment on if there are still banks recruiting for S&T. Any kind of bank just looking for more opportunities.

07 Sep 2021

Hey everyone, I have two S&T interviews for an Analyst position, and I may receive an offer from both since I'm already acquainted with the hiring managers. I am making a pros and cons list for the two banks, and it would be great if someone with experience, knowledge, or resources could help out!...

25 May 2021

I have landed a summer internship at a BB in IBD, and was wondering which IBD teams are most similar to S&T, as that is my ideal job. For now have heard that ECM and DCM are the closest, but want to hear more thoughts on this.

25 May 2021

Can someone provide a little more info on this group? Is it a part of SSG (Special Situations Group) or in some way related to merchant banking? What does a trader in PFI do? There seems to be little info out there

Hi everyone, I'm currently going through the placement process for a S&T SA program at a top BB.

WSB and GME are everywhere right now. Retail trading accounted for 20%+ of market activity in 2020. For comparison, in 2019, retail trading accounted for only about 10% of market activity. Market makers, prop shops, and exchanges are all excited about this influx of activity because there is more...
