Received an offer for NY IBD but was confused about the group placement process. Do FT holders need to network right now, and what has been the timeline for previous years? Plus having another offer at a mid-BB with a less favorable group (FIG, P&U, ECM/DCM) - is UBS (potentially landing product group with connections) better being the new mid-BB taking CS? Happy to discuss! Thanks

Depends on the product. If sponsors/levfin, yes, if M&A or other, no.
Thanks! So groups like BofA FIG for example place better than UBS M&A?
