JEFF vs. Solomon vs. Piper Sandler

This is for their Chicago Offices. Specifically their Industrials group (expect Piper Sandler where I don't pick a group until later)

Which of these groups is best in terms of deal flow and exits?

Solomon: A&D and Business Services are there. Word is deal flow is on the lighter side - an alum mentioned doing a lot of industry coverage and pitch work.

Piper: They’ve got DCM, HCS, FS, and Services & IND in Chicago. The flow there is good, but the teams are super lean.

 

Jefferies if you think you can handle the horrible culture and hours. If not, then Piper.
