Why is everyone concentrated on just GS/MS?

I understand that they are stand-alone investment banks but what makes UBS, DB, and CS so much different?

What benefit do UBS, DB, and CS get from being European based?

top boutiques a better option right now?

Would you guys take a top boutique offer (gleacher, moelis, evercore) offer over a BB offer (not GS, MS) right now for next year's analyst class?

Credit Suisse, Deutsche

What does everyone think of Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank in light of what is going on right now?

Do you think CS and DB will be able to weather the storm? Why or why not?

Blackstone Interview

bankybanker — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:40:05 -0400

I finished a summer analyst position at a BB firm and was invited to interview with Blackstone.

What can I expect? Has anyone gone through this process? How many interviews? How technical?

Thanks!

Shopping a Summer Offer and Renegging

What is everyone's take on renegging an offer?

If you received a full-time offer at the end of your BB internship and then signed on, what are the consequences for accepting at another BB bank afterwards?

Also, do banks you are interviewing with call up the firm listed on your resume and check if you received an offer? If so, when in the process do they do this? After they offer you a position or before?
