Hi all,
I’ve been looking into Citi as part of my BB applications and was surprised at how strong their league table rankings are, especially in DCM and ECM. But I don’t hear people talk about Citi as often as other BBs.
Is Citi underrated as an IB platform? How’s the experience for analysts in terms of deal exposure and exit opps?
Hi there,
From my experience and from what I’ve heard from former candidates, Citi is definitely stronger than its relatively quiet reputation might suggest.
They’re consistently at the top in DCM and ECM, and in certain M&A sectors they have excellent deal flow. Often with a strong cross-border element. People I’ve spoken to valued the breadth of transactions and the chance to take on responsibility early. Exit opportunities are comparable to other bulge brackets, but as always, your specific group and location will influence your experience a lot.
I hope this helps.
Rita
