IBD SA 2022 Nomura SF vs Piper Sandler SF

Hi guys,

Just got an offer from the following firms (would love to give insight from my end) and would really appreciate any pros and cons, advice, or good to know information regarding both firms so I can make a more informed decision. Would really appreciate any insight if anyone knows anything about either firm specifically the SF tech team at Nomura or the tech/consumer retail teams at Piper Sandler (regarding culture, better exit opps, deal flow, and senior interaction etc). Thanks a ton!
