Nomura IBD vs S&T London office SA 2021
What are Nomura's strengths in EMEA? I have the option to do a summer internship in IBD or S&T and wondering what would be considered the best option in terms of reputation, exit ops, exposure, etc.

At least you're honest about the nepotism.. Sucks that the spot could have gone to a kid who actually worked for it.
I have a few friends at Nomura, so for what it is worth. M&A is an ok group to join. dealflow is fine - you will be busy and have decent transaction exposure and not much pitching. in terms of sector groups, NatRes which includes infrastructure is probably the most successful one, followed by Consumer & Retail and TMT. LevFin is very strong even relative to many BBs on the street. there is no project finance at Nomura, but they have a structured finance team which is a big priority for the firm and they would look to do more in the space.
