I am currently working at Stifel as an intern in the wealth management division. I am interning there until I graduate. I don't want to sound like a douche, but I have a job lined up in the ibd at Stifel when I graduate due to my connections. Is the Stifel ibd reputable enough to eventually move to a hedgefund? Should I pursue other ib's or stay where I'm at?

I would try to move elsewhere to a better bank if you want to move to a reputable hedge fund/one of the best ones
What group at Stifel? They are a solid MM bank. They've grown exponentially over the past few decades.
Past few decades...? The industry itself has grown a ton over 'the past few decades'.....
Well no shit. Never said the industry hasn't grown. I'm talking specifically about Stifel and their growth as an investment bank. They've done some good work with acquiring other banks (i.e KBW, Miller Buckfire, etc).
OP, Stifel is a decent place to be. You will get good experience. Obviously it's not a top tier BB so recruiting for hedge funds might be a bit more difficult, but it's certainly not impossible.
I don't have a specific group in mind yet. I was thinking about their Ecm group or the M&A group. They've had some pretty decent syndicates over the last year and decent sized m&a deals. What do you guys think Stifels strongest group is?
@Andreas03: You should choose the area that is most appealing to you. People on WSO tend to chase the highest ranked group, b-school, msf program, whatever. What do YOU want to do? Search your own soul and go from there.
I someone who works in ER at Stifel. Good bank.
