<p>what firms are known for each of these, fixed income, foreign exchange, commodity, and equity securities.</p>
<p>also i heard an increasing number of people are turning down Goldman Sachs internship opportunities because they only extend full time offers to 40 percent of their interns as oppose to 80-90 percent from other firms such as Lehman.</p>
<p>Bear Stearns has a great fixed income desk...I think. Well something having to do with trading...whatever. Same with Deutsche.</p>
<p>I find it stupid that you would consider that so much right now. Get a freaking internshpi or job offer first, lol.</p>
<p>Reminds me of an average kid I new in the the 9th grade: kept on discussing whether Harvard or Yale was right for him...</p>
<p>umm, i want to get information on these things so when i apply for an internship next fall/winter i'll know which firm/position to go for....</p>
<p>i think you raise a very legitimate question, however the categories are still too broad
gs has one of the most established fixed income desks
deutsche bank is particurly strong @ s&t but not at ibd
top groups are usually:
goldman sachs TMT (tech media telecom)
CS Financial sponsors or LevFin
UBS Healthcare, m&a...etc.
MS m&a</p>
<p>different firms have different strengths, for example one might take cs financial sponsors over morgan stanley, goldman, lazard...etc</p>
<p>usually m&a are the highest rated with the best exit ops</p>

<p>i know a lot of people switching to fig in goldman. are they known for that?</p>
<p>sry im a noob.</p>
<p>Lehman FI is a monster</p>
<p>nevermind -10 characters</p>
<p>also, can someone briefly tell me the job functions of each division and the approximate pay. thank you very much</p>
<p>^^haha way to do your own research harvardman. do some legwork for yourself.</p>
<p>Such laziness. And even if someone did answer that question, would you really rely on it without doing your own research? It isn't that hard to go to wikipedia and type "investment banking" in the search field. What an embarassing question.</p>
