Spoke with a couple of bankers at Santander and I think going forward the best divisions are going to be the top legacy CS groups. So think like sponsors, levfin and M&A. These groups are almost if not entirely made up of ex-CS folks and didn't really exist at Santander a couple months ago. Other groups like consumer, tech and ECM/DCM have also been heavily beefed up as well. Overall, not a bad place to be, and they're continuing to invest hundreds of millions in the IB arm.

 

M&A teams will just always be a better team to be at than say Payments, that being said Santander is comparatively stronger in SF and GTB. That being said ofc I’d take an offer in M&A over any of those
