If I'm trying to determine whether a regional office of a less-prestigious bank would offer a good SA experience, how would I best go about doing this? Is there a way to see if the group has good deal flow? And what even constitutes good deal flow?
People on this forum talk a lot about how "x office has 0 deal flow, all you do is pitch." Please help me avoid that.

Thanks a ton. This is extraordinarily helpful. What language indicates that they actually led a deal? Your bullet on how to ask politely about this is excellent. Would a good analyst:MD ratio be at least 1:1? Higher?
