Nomura CFS or Sector Teams EMEA
Recently did the Spring Week Programme for Nomura and have the option to interview for SA2021 (London) for either the CFS team or Sector team.
How should I go on deciding between CFS or Sector teams? and which CFS/sector team is the strongest at Nomura.
Edit: My personal preference is to be in a diverse team, well rounded individual team, good deal flow. Planning to stay in banking for long time.
Thank you in advance.
It really depends on your interest (exit opps? Lateraling?)
Keep in mind the languages you speak may also influence your exits if you look at PE
Got unique background. Do you mind if I PM you with my background?
Sure feel free
What is CFS?
Otherwise if you could try 100% to recruit for LevFin. Most people moving upstream from Nomura are from levfin

Hey, how did you decide in the end?
I find it difficult to choose while applying via the normal SA way without the spring week before. You have to choose between CFS and sector teams before submitting your application.
LevFin would be my preferred choice but except for LevFin all other groups in CFS don't suit my goals. On the other hand most of the sector teams are satisfactory.
Do you or someone else know when Nomura decides to put one in which group? After training week or when obtaining that SA offer?
Thanks in advance
