Updated Views on Stifel (Toronto)
How is Stifel looking like in TO prestige/exit-opps wise?
Would you guys take Stifel over a boutique like Agentis/Fort/Cormark, etc.?
Thanks in advance!

They're the worst out of the MMs in the US and they're trash here. Not much to say. If you don't believe me look at their consolidated financials in their MD&A and look at the Canadian office's performance.
The other shops you mentioned are much better and you'd get better deal quality there. I'd also add Beacon Securities in that mix as well, and Paradigm.
how does Stifel compare to Big 4 M&A? And how does Big 4 M&A compare to other MM's in General that you mentioned? Beacon, Paradigm, Fort, Agentis, Cormark etc
As mentioned before they’re trash. They probably won’t have a Canadian presence at some point so you’re better off working elsewhere (albeit bucket shops but you didn’t list any above). The shops you mentioned are fine and you’ll probably have better deal experience there than at stifel. You also don’t wanna be in the middle of getting laid off because the team shut down operations. Toronto is very competitive.
Forgot to add, KPMG Corp Fin is legitimate Investment banking, just like Deloitte. The deals you’d get there are going to be much more respected than the other shops in Canada due to the variances between regional boutiques and BS banks here. The US is a different ball game because they exclude those regionals all together and only focus on international MM boutiques with respected deal flow.
POV you just got a beacon offer
Beacon pays better than street pal. Enjoy your 100hrs a week though.
