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
Do you think the old petsky prunier group in NYC will have exit opps to MM/UMM PE?
Bump
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.
Bump !
Deal flow seems great but "brand name" is still growing
My buddy works there in Boston now. All I know is he seems to have an incredible lifestyle for banking and says everyone from MD to Analyst is really nice.
No idea about Boston, but I know some of the senior people in Canada and they’re all great
The team has been remote for a while and is going hybrid starting next week. Can second other comments above including the 1B+ SPAC deal. The brand name "Canaccord" seems to be less discussed in US, maybe bc it's a Canadian firm. But what you get is the same as the rest of wall street MM.

FT at Canaccord NYC. MDs are very supportive of PE recruiting but also want you to stay as an associate as culture/hours/pay are amazing.

anyone got the sd invite?
NY tech? Did you do 1st round this past Thur/Fri?
I did first rounds last Thursday and Friday, haven’t heard back for super day yet, are they out? Following.
can please clarify if this is for SA or FT?
SA
thanks, man, someone pushed my resume to HR yesterday, so do you have any idea how many waves there are or if i will ever hear?
and how was the first round?
any updates on the SA process?
Have you heard anything?
so anyone got a sd for ft?
yes
anyone got an offer yet?

Fratty culture in nyc

anyone else got an offer from ft superday? I can pm if you want to connect
ft?
yes
did you also get an offer?
can i PM you? have a FT superday tomorrow
..
I'm from their target school. They did first round on campus and SD in office weeks ago. Offers have already been extended.
For ft right?
Yes, for FT
There have been multiple SD’s. Vanderbilt/target schools SD was a few weeks back and they recently had a second wave (maybe even 3rd wave) a week or so ago. Curious if offers went out for the second wave in NYC/BOS
I think second round may have been mix of target and non target
What was your timeline from SD to offer? (If you received one/participated in SD)
do you know if they did the SA process as well?
2 hours after the last interview on SD
You got an offer for ft?
Not sure. Don't think they have a very formal/structured intern recruiting
They were pioneers of financing cannabis producers. If you like weed, you’ll like Canaccord. Even sounds like a weed company.
Do they sponsor H1B?
yes
Is there another SD taking place in the NYC office this week that anyone is aware of?
Has anyone received a FT offer today or over the last week or so?
Has anyone from the SD on Thursday or Friday heard back yet? Both for FT and SA
