Anyone familiar with SVB’s new tech IB group? Do you think it is a risk to join as first job out of school? Would you choose over a mid-market named brand offer?

Now's the time to take risks

Their new tech group is UBS’ old tech group (which was having a very good year before being poached). SVB is an IB on the rise and tech is one of their strongest industries.

What’s the mid-market bank? I’d probably go SVB tbh

This is late but I had a super day with them last week. I didn’t like them one bit - some of the folks were extremely arrogant and thought of themselves as some big hot shots who are starting up the ‘best TMT group of Wall Street’ and that they are only ‘going to hire the best of the best’. These are literally the words they used lol.

I was fortunate enough to secure an offer at a couple of other BBs so I am going to take those. My 2 cents.

Currently 6 years at job A at 100K and 10K annual bonus but lil to no upward mobility. It's safe if not going anywhere.

Recruiter reached out regarding Job B at 130K with greater advancement potential but it starts out at 6 Months Contract to Hire per the agency contract. No bonus, benefits adequate by comparison. There is no guarantee to go full time.

Interview just for practice?

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

Hi everyone, hoping and wondering if I could get any help with the deal memo part for O1 ? It’s hard explaining the recruiters about it.

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
