Hey,
I've seen a lot of people on WSO giving hard time to HSBC IBD division. Sure I understand it's not a BB bank nor it has the prestige of EBs in London. But how does it compare against London's middle market banks such as William Blair/ Stifel/ DC Advisory? Is HSBC then a better place to start as M&A analyst than the mentioned firms?

I would choose HSBC over the MM firms you mentioned. Try to get into one of their top groups (given their BS size I guess Lev Fin would be a good choice).
Thank you. A follow-up question, how would you choose between LevFin vs Financial Sponsor Group? (If the FSG team is not a relationship bankers squad)
