I've heard good things about Canaccord's comp and culture. CG focuses mostly on growth companies so it's probably not too hard to move into growth equity as an exit. I also saw they acquired Sawaya Partners a few weeks ago so CG might be trying to add additional banking groups. From what I saw on Sawaya's LinkedIn they seem like a solid consumer-focused M&A shop that does mostly $200m-500m deals with occasional $2b deals. Anyone who actually works in banking will have heard of Canaccord but people outside of finance might mistake it for an airline company lol. CG is strong in Canada but still has a lot of room for growth in the US.

 

Within the US, CG is notable for tech. In NYC, they have two tech teams. One of these came from an acquisition of Petsky Prunier which is focused primarily sell-side M&A in MM tech and media. I have personally heard great things about the comp and culture as well. In terms of exits, I have heard people that want PE/VC usually get it but CG's culture also supports retaining employees 

 

Not OP, but as with any bank, it will depend on the analyst. UMM PE might be difficult, but MM/LMM PE or growth equity or VC looks very doable. A buddy of mine works there and the group closed 10+ M&A deals in January alone, including a $1b SPAC deal so the deal flow seems pretty good.
