Hi everyone, this may be out of scope for most people on this platform. I’m trying to ascertain whether there is a South African presence on this app.
I am starting my job in IB mid Jan as an M&A analyst at one of the big banks in South Africa. I understand that the IB scene is South Africa is likely less hectic than London/New York but was hoping to get some advice going into this role from seasoned investment bankers in a South African context.
Thanks !

SA is a disaster.
Elaborate?
South African living and working in UK IB who started a career at a boutique in SA
Do your time in SA, then come over to London / NY. The water is much warmer here! But well done on Standard Bank, ABSA, RMB! All good shops that should give you a good platform
Thank you
Hoping you are planning to bring yourself back here when you’ve hit your number. We need the brains in SA!
All the best!
The brains will get killed in the streets. South Africa honestly looks to be beyond saving
Just curious, how much warmer?
Baie :)
