Strictly based on name of firm, not on location or group
Jefferies > Cowen > RJ
Thanks captain obvious but quality of group and location both matter a great deal more than the firm.
i think its more like cowen vc. jeff.
cowen: - has a great healthcare team - SF is awesome - better/larger network - you will get worked to death - strong deal flow - i've seen people go to large MM PE funds from cowen SF
Jefferies: - You really can't go wrong with Jefferies - keep in mind this is a fairly new office - deal flow in the charlotte office is slow. competition with WF, ML, Sagent, McColl, Lazard MM who have been around for a while. - Jeff has a better name in the industry than Cowen - the team in Charlotte is small but many go to PE/MBA/BB after 3-4, mostly in the South. - cheap living you can save a lot of your salary/bonus - the weather sucks here
i would go with Cowen SF personally for a number of reasons. If you have plans to lateral to a BB in the future go with Jefferies. If you want to stay in MM go with Cowen SF, much better location.
Jeffries
Jefferies
Friend just got fired from Cowen. He was an associate in healthcare. NY office. LOVE THE JEFFERIES NAME.
i'd go with jefferies unless you have strong ties to the bay area
to reiterate everyone else i'd go with jeff as well.
Ray Jay is making moves right now and St. Pete is not very high cost of living. That being said...I think Cowen Healthcare would be solid.
Lol
If RJ pays street down in St Pete you’ll live like a king over there
Jeff is probably your best bet tho
this post is 8 years old folks...
