What are your thoughts on KBW as a firm now that it has been acquired by Stifel? Is it a good place to be at after undergrad? Does it have good deal flow? Is it better than being at a middle market IB bank? What’s the culture and exit opps like post internship and post analyst?
Thanks

The old threads on KBW are still relevant. I don't work there, but have talked with several Analysts/Associates. Not sure how much you know about FIG, but the NYC Depositories group gets hammered at the analyst and associate level. The culture seems to be good at the lower levels, but MD's seem to be tough depending on group/location.
They are well respected within the FIG space for sure. Deal flow sounds to be steady, a lot of things happening within banks/financial institutions as a whole.
Can't comment on whether it's better than a MM bank. Depends what you are looking for.
