Who told you they are killing it? I don't know either way, but it's always good to ask yourself what incentive your source has for spreading positive (or negative) information about a firm.
I used to work in Seattle. The deal community (lenders, lawyers, accountants, other bankers) is small. Ask around to build your own perspective-- you'll get a lot of generalities, and nobody's going to go on record saying negative things in a small town, but you can tease out the truth.

Cascadia Capital is a mess! Basically not deal volume and primarily act as a capital markets advisory firm. Pay their SA's terribly and they act as interns doing menial tasks rather than working in banking. They had to shut down 2 of their offices and only Seattle remains
Lol. They have closed $7.3 billion worth of deals in the firms history. But you think they are advising on mega-deals or will ever even touch the top-15? Just lol
Are you joking? The guy's title says he works at a hedge fund, which is eons ahead of your highly insecure post written with the purpose of receiving external validation that you did not in fact receive a third tier offer. But by the looks of the posts, looks like you did bud.
Not sure if you're someone who works there or just completely uninformed, but Cascadia is not "killing it" by any stretch of the imagination. They're an OK group. I'd only take them if you can't land a BB, EB, or top MM offer. Pay is significantly less. Experience is not nearly as good. They're definitely not the next Moelis.
This is the second time I've seen Cascadia spam here. Again, not sure if you're someone who works there or someone who is uninformed, but if the latter I would seriously consider looking elsewhere. If you want to make mediocre money at an alright group and have a good lifestyle, maybe it make sense. If you want a career in banking, or want to make the jump to a reputable hedge fund / PE firm, I'd look elsewhere.

I heard they do not pay their interns even close to street and they dont actually get to do an investment banking role during the summer

I'm sure I'm not the only one who had to google to find out what Cascadia Capital is...

Looks like I missed all the fun.

Bump.
Is it a good firm?
Would a move from a similar size firm in a different geography be a good choice?
