Ibanking outside of NYC

<p>It seems that the hub of Ibanking exists within NYC, but I was wondering what kind of opportunities there are outside of wall street. Is it easier to get a job at an ibank in another city? do smaller firms in other cities pay less for analysts compared to the big companies like goldman sachs, etc.? Basically I'm wondering what the difference is between landing a job at the BB and other ibanks in other cities such as boston, philly, etc. thanks</p>

<p>BBs have offices all over the world like London, Paris, Hong Kong, Chicago, LA, Toronto, Montreal, DC, etc. Whether or not it's easier to get a job there, I don't know. I believe all hiring is done through HQ at New York.</p>

<p>And of course there are firms that are not headquartered in New York, but in London, Frankfurt, and other financial capitals. </p>

<p>Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco all have a wealth of financial institutions of their own worth investigating. The salaries may not be as high as in New York, but one could probably pursue a similar sort of position at a smaller firm in one of those cities.</p>

<p>New York is pretty expensive though so i understand why ibankers there make more money than ibankers in other parts of the country.</p>

<p>Anyone know of good firms in Boston? 30 minutes away from me.</p>

<p>San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Miami, and Orlando are all pretty much as expensive as New York, if not more in some cases.</p>

<p>Fidelity, State Street, Credit Suisse First Boston (though the latter is actually mainly in NY now, I think)...</p>

<p>did a little research</p>

<p>Are there many opportunities outside of the US at the associate (after MBA) position? Is the workload AS demanding as those in NYC at the associate level?</p>

<p>There are offices for many ibanks in Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney, London, Paris, and Frankfurt to name a few. The workload supposedly depends on where you go. Hong Kong is much more demanding than Paris, for example.</p>
