Wow, I usually don’t feel bad for anyone, but that’s fucked.
saving money for those who actually will get paid semi-normal this year…JEF=NOT A TARP BANK
@6 are you joking? TARP or no TARP JEF has no reason to compensate their bankers any better. If their guys complain there are enough former bulge bracket guys to fill wideclops’ forehead
damn wideclops…and take your cankles somewhere else…..
7 calm down; just making an observation; not like I work there. But would rather be there than say Citi, bofa, ubs, or Morgan right now. Those guys will be getting NADDDDDAAA…yeah I want a bonus clawback..not..
What is JEF?
CS has cut the majority of bankers in their HOLT valuation group, from the most senior to the most junior people
CS was terrible today. More tomorrow.
I can’t believe the shear snobbery in some of these comments.
* Are you guys still even employed?
* Do you even work at a firm that you consider not a “Bucket Shop”?
Actually, I’d pretty much say they were all the definition of Bucket Shop at the end.
How long can Wall Street continue to go on fucking Main Street before:
* We go communist (eg asset seizure/nationalization)?
* Someone goes postal?
I’d say not long. It is starting with worker sit-ins but it is going to escalate to violence here pretty quick.
Keep enjoying the models and bottles while the severance checks last.
JEF is a bucket shop for windbags. most people in finance would not even come across them if they weren’t the loudmouth at the bar.
@12, what groups at CS today?
The rumor was that they focused on IB today, I know people in M&A and technology that were included in the layoffs. Tomorrow they are apparently going after IB Legal (the lawyers that cover banking) and perhaps compliance. Overall, a nasty day with a lot of depressed people.
thats cold!!
Yeah. They had the holiday party tonight, though! Yey.
@ 14
Rejected 1st round from JEF? Chill out man. I know some good ‘folk who were once at Jeffries. Your f-tard overgeneralization betrays your a)ignorance, b)jealousy, c)intoxication/inebriation while commenting on DB.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that its the latter, but don’t push your luck.
@13 it’s not snobbery, you just have a complex from being a Main Street idiot (no doubt the product of some third tier shit hole).
It’s SHEER snobbery, you fucking moron.
SHEAR is something you do to get wool from a lamb.
Now run off and watch your 401k melt while I keep living it up off of management fees.
Piper Jeffries?
Piper Jeffries?
Piper Jeffries?
seriously, only fucking jackoffs at actual sell side firms that couldn’t get real jobs bitch about severance
hint: if you are an “at will” employee, you work for a real firm, and when the shit hits the fan, you are out…ZERO severance
fucking pikers
20 “off of” management fees? Talk about third rate schooling.
22 It Piper Jaffrey, but here JEF = Jeffries & Co. A decent place all around, but esp in fixed income.
@25
bucket shop
or, an analagy for you:
if they knew anything they wouldn’t be “puertoooo ricannssss”
@26
Classic. or “if they knew anythign they would not be wideclops”
@24 That is about right…finally someone who is not a total bitch about gettign it in the teeth. We all signed up for the fat tails on the upside so lets not complain now that we see the fat tail on the down side.

@ everyone. I didn’t know the dealbreaker forum became a Leveraged Sellout free for all. Please proceed with the following arguments:
1. My school is better than your school
2. My bank is better than your bank
3. NY is so much better than LA/Chi
4. My bonus is bigger than your bonus
5. Greatness.
sucks for the axed folks.
2008 gig in finance = 2006 leveraged finance MD.
Good luck b1tches!
Tanned Banker
Jefco has a few really good equity analysts and some solid traders. we actually direct quite a few of our broker trades their way.
That being said, all you fucking queers forget that this is a purely human capital driven industry…
Just like there are some complete fucking retards from every MBA program, and some CFAs…there are dumbshits on EVERY desk and in EVERY IB program. I’ve met insanely bright people from Baird, Wachovia, RBC while I’ve met fucksticks I wouldnt want ringing me up at Gristede’s that somehow got into MS, GS or Citi.
Poor bastards, wideclops shows no mercy to no one!!!
@28, been there done that have the tattoo… why don’t you return to Yahoo and spend some quality time mentally masturbating with the great unwashed.
jerk off to quality porn on http://www.mpegmovieheaven.com
@19
appreciate the benefit of the doubt, most other poster here, or any other site for that matter wouldnt even cross their mind.
you’re one stand up guy.
that being i know there some decent folks at JEF, just had a major run in with them in the past. wont go into details.. but hard for me to look up to the place.
First round at JEf? i didnt even know they recruited.
@30
well said. that about sums it up for wall st.
4 weeks, jeez. That hurts.
morning roundup/bring out your dead

Get your shovels ready! The world still needs plenty of ditch diggers.

For csfb, anyone in prime services/global?
30 – Well said.
