Would probably take KeyBanc over BNP Paribas, Mizuho, SocGen, but that's about it on the list.
I would probably take Key over Cowen and Stifel too
Anybody know anything about their S&T?
Isn't Cowen better than Key?
Is BNP really that bad?
Anyone know what exit ops are available after doing a year or 2 at KBCM?
There's a bunch of threads on this...
Exit opportunities are group and location dependent. The bank performs well in HC, Tech, Industrials, and Energy (UP&R specifically). From a product group standpoint, M&A will get you good exits. It's a good place to start your career, and a lot of people at Key like the "big fish in a small pond" vibe in Cleveland.
If you get into their P/U/R team, they do fuckloads of project financings.
Anybody have any info on their S&T?
