I know the firm's reputation matters a lot for IBD, but how much for S&T positions? I heard it's a lot more about the desk your on rather than the firm you work for. I have a SA offer with a smaller firm on the street, but I would likely ...
Equity research is sort of a whole other ball game. If you want to work at a hedge or a fund manager, then ER. If you want to trade for a hedge (which obviously can pay quite well), than take the S&T placement.but realize that trading at a BB is ENTIRELY different than trading at a HF.
but realize that trading at a BB is ENTIRELY different than trading at a HF. you're basically an execution trader, which IMO kinda sucksAbsolutely. This can't be underscored enough. This is why a lot of guys who know they want to do hedge down the road choose IBD out of school, because if you move from S&T at a bank to trading for a fund, you take only an execution role if it's a fundamental shop.I don't add the certified user star because I'm not comfortable divulging the information.A lot of people do certain things to add days to their life. I do things to add life to my days.
