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.

For European regional offices, you can just have a look at league tables.
Also keep in mind that a good dealflow is not an absolute number, but depends on the number of people in the team.
What about in the US?
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?
