If you had a choice between a strong MM (Harris Williams/Stifel/Lincoln/Guggenheim) vs Wells Fargo IBD what would you choose?
I know people hate this, but if you could rank them I'd appreciate it (SB).

Consensus here seems to be strong MM > Wells Fargo.
Depends on goals, desired location in the long term, group.
....
If you could land Wells Sponsors, that'd set you up too, just FYI. Track record is good.
Seems like a strong MM would work better for you.
or Wells levfin - they're ranked 3rd in the league tables right now...it varies by groups when it comes to big banks like wells
Best groups for exit opps at WF are LevFin and Sponsors?
Am I the only one here who would happily take any coverage group at Wells over all of these MMs? Maybe if the MM was something like Houlihan or Jefferies...
