BDO Capital Advisors

Does anyone have any information on them? They are an affiliate of BDO the accounting firm and have around 30 bankers in Boston & NYC.

How would an SA here look? Assuming solid connections would I be able to put myself in a decent spot for fulltime BB and top MM recruiting?

Probably Top MM, maybe BB, depends on connections/recruiting. BB is tougher b/c they have fewer spots right now and the deals you would be working on are generally going to be MM deals.

Pros: *Much better hours *Fewer pitchbooks (part of the fewer hours) *Can get more involved with the process

Cons: *Brand name isn't great (not as strong as say PWC or Deloitte CF) *Deal flow could be a bit sporadic *Formal training won't be on par with BBs, elite boutiques or Top MM groups

Congrats on the offer though.
