what about Imperial Capital? i saw their closed transactions as well and it looked good (they also have offices in SF NY and Chicago)...thought they would be head to head with Duff and Phelps, but maybe the name of Duff and Phelps is better to have for FT recruitment? not sure...

thank you though!!

 

If you dont take imperial over D&P, you are pretty much an idiot. Capello is unpaid, so no way. Seimer would be great if tech-banking is an interest.

I'd say its just a choice between Imperial and Seimer, depending on your interests.

Thank you Cries...wasnt trying to say Imperial was worse by any regards, I just know there are more experienced ppl here and wanted the advice...

just to ask though, for FT recruitment, would Imperial be a better name on a resume if I want to re-recruit for BBs?

 

Better than the other 3, yes. Unless you want to do tech or HIT. You will also come out of there with a deal on your resume, I'm fairly sure. (thats the most important part)
