Lateral Move - MM Coverage or Product

Fortunate to have received two offers as an experienced hire. First offer is established LMM/MM bank (think Stifel/Oppenheimer/RJ) coverage group, while the other is the top 5 Canadian bank (think BMO/Scotiabank/TD) in their newly formed M&A group. Both NYC based.

Beyond the comp, how would you evaluate the offers? Which one would be better for PE?

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“I really enjoyed my one-on-one session with Konstantin. He was very approachable and easy to talk to. Hearing about his journey from real estate and private equity to investment banking was particularly valuable, as it aligns with my own career interests. We went through each of my questions, identified areas for improvement, and discussed practical ways to strengthen my answers. He also suggested additional points I could include, which I found incredibly helpful. I came away feeling confident about my next steps.”

“Tim is probably my favourite mentor so far. He’s really easy to talk to and answered all the questions I had. His communication skills are especially handy because I sometimes know what I want to say but struggle to explain it properly. He’s good at breaking things down and explaining why something works, which makes the advice much easier to use myself. I also feel comfortable asking follow-up questions or saying when I haven’t understood something. It feels like a proper conversation, and I come away with useful things to work on. I’ve found that really helpful while figuring out how to talk about my experience and why I want to move into finance.”
