Hey guys,
I was wondering if you could tell me which bank you would work for if you had an offer from the following: Cowen and Co., Oppenheimer, and FBR Capital Markets.
I have to make a decision by next monday and I would like to hear your input.
Thanks,
Charlie

What would you be doing at Cowen and Opco?
Cowen is either tech or health care by the way
Opco is tech as well
I thought Cowen and Opco don't place analysts into groups until the end of training... Or are you a lateral?
Anyway, Cowen's HC practice is being rebuilt right now, and I haven't seen them in tech recently as much. Opco is relatively strong in tech, but that depends on the specific subsector (do you have any details?). FBR I don't know much about.
Cowen is placing their analysts straight into groups. I guess I'm really just more interested in Cowen vs. FBR
FBR isn't on the same level as the other two.
I've heard good things from friends at Oppenheimer but more on the fund management group than IB.
I know an alum who transitioned from FBR's FIG group to GS special situations group at a VP level. I know this is an exception, but just saying.
Oppem did the DiVx deal i believe, heard one of the senior JPM guys went to their menlo( or was it palo?) office.
I would say go with oppem on this one, havent seen too much of cowen, let alone FBR.
