Oppenheimer IB 2022

Hello everyone. I'm interviewing with Oppenheimer for a lateral position in a coverage group soon. I was wondering where it stacked up vs other MM IBs like WB/Baird/Lincoln/MacCap/RJ/Stifel in terms of deal flow, culture, and exits.

From the old threads and 2nd hand accounts it seems to be fine on all 3 fronts and comparable to your standard MM.

There doesn't seem to be much discussion and the most recent detailed thread was from 2018-2020. Is it because it's small from a headcount perspective? Would appreciate any info from the community.

It's better than RJ AND Stifel, for sure. What coverage group are we talking about?

 

The HC services group out of Miami is pretty decent. I know they're building out a healthcare M&A team focused on just healthcare M&A deals that's spearheaded by an ex-Jefferies HC MD (Don Ritucci). I think the product M&A group is also pretty good - works mostly with HC services, Rental Services and Transportation & Logistics.

 

I heard their TMT and M&A are their top groups recently, along with their always solid HC presence. I don't think it's better than William Blair but probably equal to or better than the other banks listed. 

That being said, they don't really have a balance sheet the way Wells Fargo and RBC does so I'd probably pick those banks over them unless it's in coverage, as I heard those two banks only basically do financing deals.

Heard they get worked though, especially M&A.

 

That intern is right, my roommate worked there his first year and his bonus was 120% as a mid-bucket so I think TC is still the same. Still annoying structure though.
