Scotia on the up?
They have a lot of postings and have raised IB base. Curious on opinions on the firm in the US and general outlook

similar to santander I suppose
Their postings have been from leveraged finance, and P&U which is scotia’s best team by far. Their P&U team has high turnover. From what I’ve heard, the culture is great from a junior to VP level but the seniors are very toxic. However, deal flow is very very strong.
Heard nothing about leveraged finance team, but it makes sense why they’re growing in this environment, seems like it’s more of an economic driver versus Scotia themselves growing (opportunistic entry).

Congrats on Scotia
Seniors are toxic as fuck lmfao what a bunch of clowns
On the rise, gonna take over JPM soon.
Heard a kid just took Scotia over Evercore.
I hear next year kids are planning to ditch PJT RSSG for Scotia
Not sure about Scotia as a whole, but I have heard from many that Scotia Calgary is dominant in the West
Second this, their presence is growing pretty fast in Calgary and vancouver. heard that they're viewed above all of the big 5 except RBC
Literally saw another thread saying they are shit in Calgary lmao
Pretty sure Scotia Calgary is the best group in Canada
bump, curious about p&u and m&a group in Toronto. heard they cross staff with NY
