Investment Banking job in Adventity

This query is : Resolved 

01 May 2008 Hi

I am qualified CA of May 07 batch. I appeared for the CA campus programme in April 08 & got selected in DE Shaw & Co in their financial operations group in Hyderabad.

Moreover, I have also given interviews for Adventity (KPO) & got through with it as an Analyst-Research & Analytics . The posting is in Mumbai.
There i would be required to cater to Credit Suisse Bank (as a top official was there to take the last round of interview).
Hence, this would be hardcore investment banking job but in a KPO. But salary wise they are paying really less.

Can anyone suggest which is going to be a better option with me? I am really interested in career growth.

Looking forward to an early reply...

02 May 2008 Go there, where you get research work and not just basic data mining. If you had attended PPT you must be knowing the profile offered by both cos. Don't decide on salary basis. It will follow you after 2 years if u are in good profile. Btw, Mumbai job sounds good.

02 May 2008 Thanx a lot for your early response...I am enclosing hereunder exact job profile. Kindly go thru & revert back...

Duties and Responsibilities

1 Perform complex valuation & financial modeling

2 Corporate finance analytical work for top-tier Wall Street banks

3 Investment banking experience,including M&A, valuations, and fundamental research

4 Analytical work performed at various top-tier financial institutions, including investment banks and hedge funds

5 Exposure to industries such as Energy, Healthcare, Industrials, Media and Telecom, as well as product groups including Equity, Debt, M&A, Private Placements and Structured products.



03 May 2008 this profile sounds good but when they say exposure to almost all sectors and all product groups and all top institutions it indicates that probably you will not be doing high end work. If you do high end work you can get exposure to max. 2-3 sectors and only 1 product group either equity or debt at a time. So be careful while deciding. Btw, you did not mentioned which company is offering this profile and that of second.

10 May 2008 This was the basic job profile as given by the company. The name of the company is Adventity. Its a KPO catering to Wall Street I Banks for their financial modelling & analytical work.

To be precise, right now a new recruitee wud be undergoing thru the training given by the company which goes for about 5 weeks. only after that we will be assgined verticals which are IB , Equity Research , Credit Research and Consulting. The criteria of vertical assignment will be the performance in the period, requirement in the particular vertical and of course ur personal interest.
so thats the profile.. as of now .. people get assignments like pitch book making , preparing an initiating coverage report etc.

Moreover, i had my final round of interview with the Client for which we would be working. The client is Credit Suisse Bank & the team wud be entirely dedicated for the same client. you are correct in regard to sector. Only 1 sector or at max 2 sectors wud be allocated.

13 May 2008 Credit Suisse related job looks good, but finally it is u, who have to take a call. should take suggestions from other persons also who may know more abt this job and company. best of luck.

26 June 2008 At the early stage of the career you should not focus more on salary provided you don't have grave financial difficulties.
Once you gain experience in the field which you like, which is most important, salary shall follow you..
Always remember there's always room at the top!!!
Try to be the best in whichever profile you want to work...
Even if a cobbler, be a Bata or Woodland in that..thats the difference!!!
