I’ve been doing some research on Piper Sandler and it looks like they’re growing very quickly. I was wondering if anyone could give any insight into which verticals and sub-verticals are the best for deal flow, comp, laterals, and PE exit opps. Are Piper analysts generally pretty competitive when it comes to MF and UMM PE recruiting?

You’re not really going to get mf and umm looks coming from Piper. Not terribly familiar, but from recruiting remember that Med tech and HC IT in Minneapolis were good, as well as consumer in SF. Also FIG with the Sandler O’Neill acquisition.
Second this. Piper Sandler is highly competitive in the FIG and Healthcare sectors on the league tables.
Could you shed some light into why Piper analysts don’t do that well in PE recruitment? From the responses so far, it seems like they have a couple strong verticals.
No one said they don’t place well, but MM analysts don’t get looks from MF and usually UMM as well. The reason being is that there’s only so many slots and those firms have their pick at all the BB and EB analysts. Piper and other strong MM banks do a fine job of placing in MM/LMM private equity (depending on the group as well). If that’s not what you’re interested in then you can always try to lateral to stronger bank.
