Junior who accepted a SA FIG offer at a good MM that has fig recruiting separately (hl/jeff/stifel/piper). Feel like this sub mostly talks about BB or EB FIG but was wondering if any light could be shed on best verticals to focus on and if for exits its worth to lateral to a better FIG group.

I see Stifel less. Rest are all good places to land
thanks for the breakdown. in terms of verticals, does jeff focus more on spec fin/crypto as the sleazy coverage larger banks wont touch or is it across all verticals? any recommendation on verticals to focus on across all 3 banks?
