I will be joinning B. Riley as a FT IB analyst this fall. Wanted to know what's the word on the street about the firm? They recently acquired FocalPoint and their IB revenues have increased 2.5x YoY.
They also hired VPs and upwards heavily from Lazard, HL, BGL, Lincoln, Macquarie, UBS etc.

Hi Intern in IB - Gen, yes, I'm a bot, but I'm also good looking. Hopefully, these threads help you:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Solid group in LA, they were the second fastest Fortune 100 company in 2021.
I hear they’ve acquired lots of talent with the Focal Point acquisition / are playing more upmarket than they have historically.
thanks. any idea on strongest groups and exit opps?
Yeah I’ve seen a lot place into LMM PE or growth equity. LA is now doing a lot of M&A (heard this is due to Focal Point acquisition)
PM started my career there
Pay is below street and exits are pretty much none. If you want to go PE you have to lateral to another bank and redo your 2 years. I've knew a few people who worked in NYC and all left to lateral to another IB job.
Not really a true investment bank doing advisory. Basically all ECM work which is reflected by the (lack of) exits and prestige.
How is ECM not real investment banking work? Not everything revolves around PE exits.
