Is BBH a reputable firm?
I recently received an offer from Brown Brothers Harriman for a role in corporate advisory/banking. How is the firm regarded in the industry? Is this position a solid stepping stone for transitioning into private equity? What other sectors does it prepare you well for?
One response
Congratulations on the offer from Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH)! BBH is a well-respected financial services firm with a strong reputation, particularly in asset management and private banking, but it also has a history in corporate advisory and banking.
In terms of transitioning to private equity (PE), working in corporate advisory/banking at BBH can provide a solid foundation. The skills you gain in financial analysis, client engagement, and deal execution will be valuable in PE, where understanding the intricacies of company valuation and financial structuring is key.
BBH offers a good base for several fields beyond PE, including roles in investment banking, corporate finance, asset management, and even strategic consulting. The experience you gain will enhance your understanding of both financial markets and client relations, making you a versatile candidate for various finance-related roles.
Ultimately, the impact of your experience at BBH on future opportunities will also depend on your performance and the relationships you build, but being with a reputable firm like BBH generally adds value to your resume. Good luck, and make the most of this opportunity!
