Hey Guys, I wanted to know PNC's rep on the street and how well it looks on my resume? I plan to be in their DCM group for the summer and was wondering if I do a SA stint with them, how does it look for a lateral? I know Harris Williams is their main M&A services Investment bank and could at least interview there, but I am also looking to see where else I can land for FT. Thanks

I don’t think working at pnc will help you much with getting a job at Harris Williams. They’re quite independent.
Very independent. PNC might own them but HW runs all their recruiting and everything separately. Also HW a pure sell side M&A shop so DCM for a summer won't be very applicable. PNC a debt shop so I guess DCM would be fine there but don't see them ever leading any deals. I think if I remember correctly their best group is ABL? Could be wrong but think they do a lot of ABL lending

Hi, this is the OP. So I do not go to a target school. I have really just been networking hard with people to get this opportunity. I have heard some people being able to lateral from their SA stint to other banks through networking, so I plan on continuing to do that. I am trying to get a sense of where I could land in interviews at other places with PNC on my resume. The lateral for me is just an option. Hopefully, I can get an FT offer from PNC, but also trying shooting my shot at other places.
Just came from their superday would be curious to hear what you ended up doing
Thanks for the info. Could you share what the total comp looked like.
Strong DCM and ABF (securitization) teams, so you'll get some good experience there for a MM bank.
Strong if you like doing vanilla investment grade bullshit and not learn how to model or structure anything. I would recommend almost any other bank if you actually want to develop a skill set.
Lmao no one models in most DCM groups anyway unless you're in a levfin group.

Not a great reputation honestly.... getting worse.... especially if you aren't in NYC or Philly
