BB vs. MM

gomes3pc — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 11:39:43 -0400

So I've been fortunate enough to get a handful of offers this fall for full-time jobs- 3 BBs and one MM. I've cut it down to just two- CS San Fran or Jefferies Broadview in Boston. Not looking to have someone tell me where to go, but I'd love to hear from some of the bankers on the board what they think of these two offices.

Bear, ML

I'll be interviewing for FT offers with these two banks and want to hear what you guys think. I know Bear is getting hit hard lately. What are their best groups? For Merrill, if I get a position it will likely be in the Tech group. How is their activity?

Canaccord Adams

Just looking to see what people think of Canaccord. I'm looking at a potential position at the old Adams, Harkness, & Hill in Boston. How is deal flow, exit ops, workload, etc?

Best Tech I-Banks

I'm currently a rising senior working in Corp Finance for EMC Corp's M&A department. I tried to get into an I-Bank's SA program but missed out, and then did not have the time after that to apply to any boutiques.

I've got a really strong GPA (3.9) and decent ECs. I'm also in the process of creating an investment club at my school. Since I go to a nontarget, I figure that my odds of making it into a BB are pretty slim. However, I do think I've got what it takes to get into the middle market for the tech field especially, given my growing knowledge of the IT industry working at EMC.

Fortune 500 M&A

Hey guys, just wanted to know what some other people would think of this opportunity.

I might have an opportunity to work directly with a VP of a Fortune 500 firm in Massachusetts in their M&A department. This company made over a dozen acquisitions of small and midsized firms last year, and plan to make similar strides this year. I'd be doing a lot of research into potential acquisition candidates, as well as some valuation and also due diligence.

UBS Equities

I know equities is sales and trading, but can any of you guys give me some dirt on UBS's equities team? i've been reading up that UBS IBD is one of the biggest equity sellers in the world for the primary market, but what about their role in the secondary market? any good info on hours, what their interview process is like, etc? how are the exit opps? is it possible to move from S&T to IBD?

Lehman Cap Markets?

Has anyone heard anything back from Lehman for Capital Markets or IBD internships? I know they're doing 2 separate internship periods this summer so they've got a lot more resumes to sift through, but I've heard nary a peep from anyone on this board about Lehman offers. Anyone with info on superdays/first round/final round for Lehman, esp. Capital Markets and IBD, would be appreciated.
