There’s a few things to note:

A. It’s not the best by any means, I don’t think they have handled a bankruptcy from what I’ve seen on the debtor side and if they do they’re mostly sub 100mm. I’m sure they’ve come up on creditor mandates.

I think RJ would probably be more focused on OOCs (like everyone), and their capital markets / private placement capacities.

Similar comps would be Lincoln International, Stifel and Baird RX

Note: Would still be a great place to work right now in this market, and lateraling upstream or going to credit wouldn’t be as hard as one might think. Niche area and subject expertise and all that.

Always here to help!
 

I wouldn’t recommend working there in this group.  Has never been super active relative to other shops and the analyst experience has been pretty garbage in that group for the last 15+ years.  Moreover, the group head is genuinely not a great person and even worse to work for.  I’d reach out to past employees on LinkedIn to get a flavor for the type of person he is - does not care about you personally or your professional growth.  Pure selfish motives.  I think when you speak to past employees, the general consensus would be that he’s not a person you want to work for or to whom you want to attach/start your career.

if you want to work at RJ, do your best to try to get into the tech group.
