Investment Banks help companies and governments issue securities, help investors purchase securities, manage financial assets, trade securities and provide financial advice. The leading investment banks including Merrill Lynch, Salomon Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Goldman Sachs are said to be in the bulge bracket.
Headhunters work for investment banks, funds managers and others in the financial services industry to help them locate talent. Headhunters are often called in to locate senior level talent or persons with specialized skills in research and trading. This list would be particularly appropriate for someone with a Ph.D. in finance, computer science, math or the hard sciences. It would also be helpful for a person with an MBA and significant amounts of experience in the field.
