Is IB Less Fratty at the Post-MBA Level?

晚上好猴子,
I am wondering if the above is true. Please elaborate. I'm sure Investment Banks appreciate those who can number-crunch the models and I have gotten pretty good at it but I am not sure if I would fit in with the culture. I didn't join a fraternity and am quite nerdy, hence why I am considering consulting at the moment. The major problem lies in the fact that I looked into both roles and figured that I would prefer to doIBwork much better than Consulting. All input from experienced monkeys are greatly appreciated.

Quaneaser, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Investment banking analyst classes at BB's are like 80+ people and even EB's are now like 30+. There is going to be all sorts of personalities, though to be honest with the grade requirements/internships now needed to compete the majority of those people skew nerdy vs. 'fratty'. From what I've seen people are friends across personalities, united by the common thread of getting crushed every day.

平均值MBAis like 30+, often times married/with kids, and looking to build a career inIB. They aren't going to Marquee every night...

Just spentMBA夏天EBin纽约- it completely varies by bank. Buddies at Moelis LA talk about a complete frat house in the office, surfing with MDs (no lie), IntraLinks sponsored trip to Vegas, and on and on. My friends at bulges describe more corporate environments (although the MS Pool looks like a lot of fun).

编辑:我的夏天介于两者之间 - 绝对比像Moelis这样的地方少了,但没有像高盛那样企业和纽扣。

At theMBAlevel, there is a full semester of recruiting and coffee chats to REALLY get to know the various groups and see where you feel like the best fit.

您被问及您想招募哪些小组,而您的“故事”通常需要使您为什么要去该小组(例如,在CAA-> MBA->媒体银行业工作)中有意义

Obviously some groups have more competition to get into, likeGSTMT, so some work strategically to target the group they have the best shot at given their background in order to get into the bank (e.g targeting Goldman NR because you have an O&G history, even though you might want to work in TMT), especially if you have no real preference. Also, mostEBSand MS (with the exception of the& RE groups) start as generalist programs.

Going to be honest, you're not going to like it. You'll also probably find it difficult to get along with clients.

The culture tends vary by bank.Evercore tends要变得更加学术和更少的怪胎,而barcap可能更多地是怪异的氛围。只是找到一个合适的东西
