Hi everyone!
Would appreciate a detailed update about the TMT team at Mizuho SF office. Exit opps, comps, exposure, hours, culture, is it easy to lateral to a better EB/BB in SF, etc. I am trying to search where analysts there go after their first year but didn't find much success. Super appreciate the insights from all monkeys.

no deal flow. I see Mizuho only playing a financing role and rarely in the advisory role
source?
Heard the same. Thanks. I am thinking to leverage it to a BB/EB position in SF. Would it be possible?
nothing is impossible, but I would guess lateralling to a respectable MM is a bit more attainable
Definitely doable. In 2021, have seen people in Mizuho SF lateral to BofA, Moelis, Guggenheim, and Citi.
Yup financing shop only. They use their balance sheet and collect some capital markets fees but that’s about it. Might as well be in corporate banking. They’ve been telling people they’re making a move toward more M&A for years, then they hire washed up MDs from BBs who couldn’t hack it, then they continue to work on bond deals.
Thanks! Do you know if it is easy to leverage to EB/BB after a year or the summer?
Not sure about sf, but know a guy in the nyc office that went to Rothschild after a couple years. All about connections when trying to break in from a lower level shop.
Any idea about would it be easy to leverage it to a full-time position in BB/EB/Top MM after SA or 1st year FT?

You'd have a much easier time going to a local middle market / lower middle market Tech IB and doing a year of relevant work (i.e., private sellsides and fundraisings) on smaller deals. Easier to do a "same work, different size deal" lateral move than a "different type of work, same industry sector" lateral move. Not saying it's impossible though
Was helping a portco with a tuck-in and they were on the sell-side (carve-out). It was probably too small for the BBs and they were in the parent’s debt. It was a 3-month sprint from teaser to announcement and I found them responsive and competent. Seemed to have their s*** together better than the BB I came from.
