NYC IB recruiting
Hi,
What are some New York Banks that not everyone and their momma are applying to?
I’m talking smaller, MM banks that pay well and still has good exposure.

not really, not everyone comes from a target and not everyone has to go to an incredible name. people like you are garbage
It's not that deep lol
William Blair, Piper Sandler, Harris Williams, Baird, BMO, Natixis, Credit Agricole, Societe General, Nomura, Santander all have NY offices
Harris Williams’ NYC office is strictly PCA and no M&A though FYI
Thank you
These are still pretty competitive to get into
DC Advisory too
Agree with above, any recognizable MM are going to be almost equally competitive to BB roles
This takes away the whole point of less-known banks by asking for "less known" banks, because then thousands of kids see it on this post then apply / reach out. Hit LinkedIn and other websites to find these banks / boutiques, check out the team yourself, and give them a fight. Part of the act of breaking into finance is the personal grind. Good luck!
Check out Cohen & Company Capital Markets – $140k base, NYC office off Columbus Circle, does M&A, founded few years ago. Still competitive but not much name recognition as of now and still mostly involved with SPAC work.
