Is it possible to go to MM PE or lateral up to another bank (BB/EB) to become a career banker from Scotiabank NY office?
I heard that their Houston IB is really strong but what's street's opinion on their NY IBD teams? IIRC, they have Real Estate, FIG, CIR, Power/Utilities, LatAM, and etc.

Side track but why do you believe their Houston Office is really strong?
Because Scotia is known for their O&G / Mining (Canada)
I can't speak to their Houston office, but strongly doubt MM PE is a typical exit from Scotia. Put it this way; even in Toronto, a MM PE exit from Scotia is atypical. Don't see why you wouldn't be able to lateral to a BB as long as you networked properly. Scotia wouldn't be at the top of the list for BB recruiters but that doesn't mean it can't happen.

Bumping for recent color on Canadian banks in NYC (best groups, exit opps, etc)
Can’t comment on exit ops but I always found it funny Scotia pays $90k base
110k base now and there is a structure, an0-110k an1-115k an2-120k
