Which Offer To Take?
My cousin in the US has 3 Summer Analyst opportunities for M&A investment banking. Which one should he take if he were to get an offer? (Note: he’s mainly focused on exit opps)
2) EY Capital Advisors

Career Resources
What group and service are they for. Cause that plays a big factor into decision making, especially for non BB banks.
All 3 of these are for M&A investment banking. For Cantor Fitzgerald, it’s the Healthcare Group and for Keybanc, it’s the Industrials Group. The industry group for EY hasn’t been determined yet.
Update: EY offer is Industrials as well
keybanc imo
Of those three offers, I've seen the most laterals/exits from Cantor to better shops. But I'm speaking generally here, I don't have much insight on those specific teams you mentioned.
Thank you. Do you think it would be difficult to get good PE exits from any of the banks I listed?
I'd expect EY to the the most difficult but it would be a grind from all three. You won't get PE headhunters beating down your door, and any time you do get your foot in the door, it will come down to your deal experience. I would recommend lateraling to an EB or BB after a year which is easier than you might think) if you're looking for a PE exit.
Would try and lateral to a bank that will offer you more experience on deals, better name brand. In that order to lateral: 1. Cantor 2. Key 3. EY
Thank you. Do you think it would be difficult to get good PE exits from any of the banks I listed?
Would echo those who say Cantor. I have seen exits to top MMs like Baird/Blair from Cantor from which you can move to a multitude of other exits.
Thank you. Do you think it would be difficult to get good PE exits from any of the banks I listed?
Realistically yes. PE exits would be very slim pickings from those shops. I would lateral to a stronger bank if you are focused on going to PE.
Cantor, keybanc, EY.
Would imagine EY doesn’t send anyone directly to buyout PE
Is LMM PE possible from these banks?
Or MM PE?
