Key vs Piper vs Canaccord (bonus, culture, prestige)
I know these topics get old, but I've recently been given some options to move into KeyBanc Tech, Piper Consumer Retail, and Canaccord Tech. All of the positions will be in San Francisco.
About myself.. went to a non-target as a transfer student. Networked my way into a Chicago boutique (Thanks to the tips on this site) in the Food & Consumer group. Received several calls and decided to go forward with it.
Yes, i've used the search function, but there really isn't much out there about Canaccord or Key.
I'm aware Piper is probably the largest brand name, but I am more interested in technology. Please skip the Piper bashing. I've heard Canaccord bonuses are particularly low, which is a cause for concern. As you can imagine, adjusting to SF's cost of living from Chicago is pretty dramatic. I suppose my end goal is to either head into a fund of sorts or work internally in a tech start up, though I'm not opposed to lateralling in to a BB prior to doing so.
Piper for prestige
Key recently purchased Pacific Crest, but otherwise does not have a tech presence
Piper
Piper. Has been improving in SF. Pac Crest is downstream and CG's best presence in over the border.
Don't know much about the other places but if you want to do consumer at Piper, SF is the place to be.
