Need help! Choices, choices? KBCM or D&P?

Guys-

Out of these two opportunities for second round interviews, which is more valuable?

Key Bank Capital Markets or Duff & Phelps Investment Bank?

KBCM is obviously a solid MM player.

Duff & Phelps is growing, but makes most of its cash from Fairness opinions.

What would be more attractive for future opportunities IN BANKING?

since when is KeyBank a solid MM player

Tremendous insight. Regardless, I still would appreciate any thoughts individuals have in which would be the better opportunity.

Tremendous insight. Regardless, I still would appreciate any thoughts individuals have in which would be the better opportunity.

I gave as much as insight as you needed, given that you have neither offer at the moment.

And given that I haven't met alums from D&P or KeyBank at any BB's in NY, I would say about the same exit ops.

 

What offices? KBCM is likely an offer for the rotational, which is either kinda cool or kinda meh, depending on how you look at it. I don't know much about Duff and Phelps.

 
RonaldBaconi think D&P's strongest office is chicago. is that where your offer is? i don't know anything about keybank...

Yes, Chicago office is where the offer is
