As with most investment bankers, we aspire to work on impactful deals. Deal reps, size, and complexity are required for skill development (and for having even a modicum of credibility).
Within this context, is it better to prioritize by group or company/brand? What are the impacts on career prospects? For example, how do you think about:
MM regional boutique, working on interesting private C&R deals vs something like FIG/REIB/Infra (esoteric and uninteresting domains) at a branded company like RBC/Jefferies/BNP?
To further complicate the matter, how important is geography- NYC/London vs tier 2 cities like Chicago/LA/Toronto?
Any commentary on how to weigh these considerations would be much appreciated during this busy lateral season!
