Tough call. PJ is doing very well in HC right now, but the group is a sweatshop. If you don't land in HC, you are at a disadvantage.

I'd probably go HW or HL. MDs are strong at each, so really it comes down to fit and if you were more comfortable at either.

Keep in mind HC is split in 3 groups at Piper. Health services, medtech, and biotech. Services probably gets worked the hardest, though all 3 do work decent hours.

Isn't Biotech in SF? It is well known that piper is a sweatshop. There is a reason it has the highest turnover of any MM IB in MPLS. Putting in 100 weeks is often because of slow turns on materials, partly due to a larger than normal gap in the middle. When you have to stay til 4am every night to pull some bullshit comps and buyer profiles, that is face time.

Hell Piper has even made UHG a sweatshop by implementing its culture.
