Funniest

My buddy just finished his first year in the UA Fin Div, said it's an absolute sweatshop and had to do ridiculous tasks like helping athletes such as Jordan Spieth with taxes and finding good mortgage rates. Not sure how true some of his stories were, but definitely would not recommend their finance analyst program.

 

Why would anyone work there after they stopped allowing employees to expense strip club visits? Was a great team bonding outing.

 
Most Helpful

MS - M&A 

JP - HC 

BofA - REGAL and LevFin

CS - Sponsors 

Barclays - Power

UBS - M&A and levfin 

RBC - Power and M&A 

Blair - tech 

Baird - industrials 

jefferies - Levfin, HC, and energy 

CITI - honestly don’t know, think they are decent everywhere but don’t really have one standout group in mind

PWP - healthcare

evercore - tech 

PJT - RSSG

HL - Consumer, RX

Lincoln Intl.: Healthcare and industrials 

Piper: healthcare, specifically med tech
