Investment Banking Model
2008-10-02 18:15:00 The decision by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to convert into bank holding companies was one of the final blows to the traditional investment banking model. The massive losses from trading floors (traced to falling home prices and asset-secured holdings) were too much to carry for the stand-alone broker dealers. As the flight to quality ...

Investment Banking Wardrobe For Men (Take 2)
2008-05-19 10:30:00 So it seems my post last week touched off a little a lot of controversy and some many did not agree with the recommendations within.

2008-04-16 14:25:00 Sometimes you do feel like you're Gordon Gekko, even though you're just an Analyst, and other times you get assigned random stupid work like formatting Excel, crossing out names in documents and even manual labor (I'm not making this one up... full story coming later) and you feel like a peon.
Healthcare Business Sales - Why Use an Investment Banking Firm
2008-04-08 07:00:00 Perhaps the most important business transaction you will ever pursue is the sale of your business.

So, What Will I Do As An Investment Banking Summer Analyst (Besides Get Abu
2008-04-04 14:43:00 Lately I've been getting lots of questions on what exactly investment banking Summer Analysts actually do. As we all know, at the top levels investment bankers are just miniature versions of Ari Gold. But are summer interns just miniature versions of Lloyd?
The Best Day In The Life Of An Investment Banking Analyst
2008-03-31 13:00:00 So that's a good day as an Analyst: laughing at other peoples' misfortunes, not having to do any real work, talking to the client on the phone over something they view as important, and leaving early to watch a moderately bad made-for-TV movie.
Notes on investment banking
2008-03-28 14:44:00 http://www.rgemonitor.com/conte-nt/view/251400/86/ I think the reason that Korean and Chinese banks might be hesitant to borrow from the Fed is that once you take money from Uncle Sam, you are going to have inspectors from the Federal Reserve pouring over the books of the parent company. (Which is also why stand alone investment banks might be skittish ...

What Should I Do With My Bear Stearns Investment Banking Offer?
2008-03-17 09:00:00 So, what should you do? Perhaps start speaking with boutiques and middle-market firms where you know people. Don't even try for other bulge brackets unless you have a killer connection that can get you in at this late stage.
Investment Banking Background Checks
2008-03-10 10:20:00 The general rule of thumb is this: don't lie and especially don't put any lies in writing on your resume or on the background check form. This sounds simple, but there's a lot of subtlety when you consider "gray areas" - slight GPA inflation, exaggerating previous jobs, omitting jobs, and more.
Why You Shouldn?t Start Your Investment Banking Job Early
2008-03-07 00:40:00 I always recommend starting at the same time as the other Investment Banking Analysts in your "class," and not just so you can spend a few months sitting on the beach and drinking Piña Coladas. It can actually hurt you financially and in terms of work experience if you go outside the norm and start in January or February before everyone else.

Fear and jealousy in investment banking
2008-02-18 06:26:00 Investment banking is a spiteful business that seems to bring out the worst in some of its participants. There are those who cannot wait to see a close competitor fall on its face. Even more acceptable is the pronouncement of death, which will allow the participants to dance on their competitor?s grave. There are three investment ...

How Investment Banking Resumes Are Read
2008-02-15 00:00:00 One constantly mysterious topic is how investment banks actually read your resume when you apply for jobs. Who reads resumes? Do the Managing Directors ever get involved? How do they decide who to grant an interview to? How much time do they spend on your resume? Even those who have done their homework very well ...

The Investment Banking Interview Selection Process
2008-02-15 00:00:00 One of my most frequently asked questions is how investment bankers decide who gets an offer following a day of interviews.

Investment Banking Groups: The Legend Of UBS LA
2008-01-28 13:00:00 People obsessed with "ranking" the bulge brackets will usually say Goldman Sachs TMT or Morgan Stanley M&A are the "best groups." But UBS LA has traditionally been #3. Why is it so good? Why do Analysts there work 18 hours a day, 7 days a week? Why are mistakes punished with execution?
The new Investment Banking paradigm
2008-01-28 03:22:00 If one subscribes to the idea that a real estate transaction is basically matching capital with opportunity, and that the transactional process has become more transparent due to internet data, then it's logical to see that any intermediary based transaction is also fair game. Investment banking and venture capital is a relationship based business that matches investor bases, often institutional investors, with opportunities - stocks, bonds, M&A, start ups, etc. Like any other lucrative business model, maintaining the mystique of "high finance" and managing deals behind the scenes keeps power contained within the select few who live on Park Avenue or in Woodside. TheFunded.com, a website where entrepreneurs post data and feedback on the venture capital community, begins to level the playing field for entrepreneurs who pilgrimaged to so many VC meetings in order to figure out where their investment opportunities stood. Techcrunch notes TheFunded is now creating a database of V...

How To Dominate Your Investment Banking Summer Internship
2008-01-18 01:00:00 Always be eager to learn and do as much as possible. I think this one should be obvious to anyone starting a new job, but you'd be surprised how many Summer Analysts are just plain lazy and try to leave early every day ("early" in banking terms being 6-7 PM).

Q&A On Investment Banking Topics
2007-12-22 01:31:00 "Is 34 too old to be a first-year banking Associate? I'm very interested in the industry but I don't want to be behind my peers and be older than everyone." It depends on the type of firm you're joining and your tolerance for pain. At a bulge bracket, being a first-year Associate is really no different from being a first-year Analyst. If you are married or have a family, this is going to be a problem.
