Help! Deciding between 2 FT IBD offers!
Hi all. I'm in the very fortunate position to be able to decide between 2 offers -- BMO Capital Markets and Mizuho generalist FT IBD, both in NYC. I have a week to decide between the two. My long-term goal is probably buyside, but I want to see how much I "like" banking to see if I'm sticking around beyond Analyst years.
I have read great things about BMO for their no-BS culture and generally good comp, and so I am leaning towards them. Mizuho is supposedly aggressively expanding their operations in the US. I would like to get some color from insiders on the following, for both firms:
1) deal flow 2) Exit ops (to buyside, or other sell side firms) 3) All-in comp 4) Culture & Misc.
Thank you very much!
BMO... solid MM platform
Glad to hear things worked out for you man. I would take BMO easily. It's a full-service MM platform and will give you transferable experience / allow you to lateral to a BB. I think Mizuho is predominantly debt / syndication financing oriented.
Thank you, its a tremendous weight off my shoulders. Your comments on BMO echo some of my thoughts, so thanks for the confirmation
BMO. Hands down. Congrats
BMO is a much safer bet. They are established and growing. Mizuho is a gamble. They have struggled recently and as someone else said are more debt/syndication focused. Very little M&A. For what it's worth, a friend of mine is a 3rd year analyst at a different BMO office and has had an overall positive experience. Good mix of engagements and generally likes the guys he works with.
