I recently went through Superdays for HSBC's M&A group and Raymond James' Financial Services group. Both are for NYC locations. I got an offer from one of the groups and am wondering if there is a clear advantage one bank/group has over the other. This is for junior summer 2022.
Thanks!

I'm not sure about the group specifics, but RJ is definitely a better place to be at in terms of deal flow and potentially exits.
Thanks for the reply! My biggest concern with RJ is potential exits to non-FIG groups at other banks/PE firms since valuation methods and work are different. Do you know if people go from FIG to other coverage groups often?
Sorry not sure, but should be able to exit or lateral internally. HSBC is overall worse and would have lower exits than RJ FIG. I would 100% go with RJ
