RWB vs. William Blair vs. SunTrust vs. Stifel vs. Oppenheimer vs. HLHZ vs. Piper Jaffray
I know depends on the group etc, but in a general sense rank the IBD for these MM firms.
Thanks :)

since you don't have offers to these firms, this post is pointless
Actually had FT offers at 2 of them (Firm A and B), and had intern offers from Firm A and another firm (Firm C) :)
I'm actually starting FT at Firm A
If you already accepted your offer why do you need them ranked?
this
Why did you choose Baird over Blair?
yes
you already signed....Baird or Blair are really good, the rest are a notch below. but it really doesn't matter...a career is more than your first job. Matters if you're a good worker and good person
middle market shmiddle market
I know I should focus on getting the SA offer first, but just for shits and gigs I would like to throw RBC, HW, and Jefferies into the mix
I would definitely consider Jefferies.
No need to rank when you have the offer signed sealed and deliver. Just enjoy school before commencement....
There all good. Piper Jaffray is just not as prestigious as most. I would probably chose STI, but that is just me.
Prestige is not Piper's issue.
i'm not informed enough to comment on the overall pecking order but hlhz RX would be the best option available in this set of firms.
Also depends on location. If it's all headquarters then definitely the NYC MM firms trump the Chicago MM firms any day of the week (unless you're from Chicago/don't want to live in NYC).
I'll just do this for fun:
Jefferies HLHZ Stifel (only because they're tangibly growing compared to others) OpCo HW (shitty locations) Blair Baird Piper Suntrust
Houlihan Lokey Jefferies RW Baird Stifel Nicolaus Oppenheimer Co William Blair Piper Jaffray Suntrust
Baird/Blair HL Not sure how to rank the rest.
Baird, Blair, HW, Jefferies & HLHZ are all tier 1 in my opinion. Tier 2 is Stifel & Oppenheimer & Co. Tier 3 is Suntrust & Piper Jaffray.
This is the best I've seen. I'd put STRH in Tier 2.
That may well be the case. I am not in IB anymore so things may have changed with respect to STRH.
