Hey all,
I'm currently reaching out to contacts and anyone in the industry for upcoming FT recruiting and was having trouble compiling a list of banks to look into.
Does anyone have suggestions for banks that are decent MM shops? Banks that are similar to STRH, Raymond James, not necessarily elite boutiques.
Thanks.

Go on wikipedia and type list of investment banks.
There's a good list there.
Just go to the Vault rankings and filter out all the BBs and elite boutiques - what's left should be mostly MM banks with a few true boutiques
Some of these are more so boutiques, but this should cover most MMs at least:
Baird BB&T BMO Cain Brothers Cowen Harris Williams Houlihan Lokey Jefferies Lazard MM (not the same as the EB) Leerink Swan Lincoln International Macquarie (some say they are a BB in Australia) Peter Solomon Piper Jaffray Raymond James RBC Rothschild Sagent Advisors Sandler O’Neil Stephens Stifel Sunstrust Williams Blair
Yeah this guy/girl pretty much hit the nail on the head.
I can assure you that Silvio Dante was most definitely a guy.
where are you looking? Sil pretty much got them all but I don't know about international MM shops as well
Another place to look is this thread. The list is old and there are a lot of boutiques and non-banks in there, but that list has pretty much every reputable bank in there as well. That thread should be bookmarked by every college student hoping to get into banking.
