lots of UCLA / USC students use mccafferty as a last resort internship in order to have some sort of banking exp on their resume for full-time recruiting. They will also use McCafferty as an internship during their sophomore year in order to attempt to get a sophomore SA position. Most are successful in leveraging the McCafferty name.
...or what they pay interns?
this is exactly what they are used for lol not sure anything else besides them either. i had an interview scheduled with them but turned it down for the other boutique i ended up interning at..
Any idea about deal flow / experience?
The have 1 full time analyst and 1 associate? I'd be willing to bet any sort of internships they are offering are either unpaid or incredibly low paying.
OP, whats your situation right now? feel free to PM me. i go to a LA university and very familiar with the banks in LA (boutiques, MMs, BBs)
Worked as a summer analyst. Quality of the bank's output is good. The bank consistently brings in new clients and their focus on research helps analysts really understand the industry and the companies. They value curiosity and are very transparent with expectations and feedback. If you are a hard worker, you will get the responsibility to do more (attended client meetings as a summer analyst).
During my time there, the bank had more active deals than the number of analysts + associates (seemed typical). Given its location the firm receives a lot of applications from schools like UCLA, it also recruits at places like Wharton (the website's team information is not up to date). The firm has notable clients like RTL. If you work at McCafferty, you will get to work with Hollywood firms.
If you want the boutique experience and want to learn, this is a good bank to check out.
