Curious what is the likelihood of ending up at a Mega Fund Private Equity firm or Large Infrastructure PE players in NYC from a Big 5 Canadian Bank in Toronto. If this is not possible what are the typical exits that can be expected out of a Toronto Big 5 role.
Thanks!

Why would a mega fund want to hire a Canadian bank that would mainly cover LMM deals? US BB banks let alone Mid-Markets do $1B + deals like it’s nothing special, unlike Canada where it’s a big deal where vast majority are lower-middle market ($150-$300M). Think about it. There are a few anecdotes that make it from Canada but usually they either go straight from undergrad (Ivey or Queens, mainly Ivey) or go from BBs in NYC. These jobs are competitive, and to be honest Big Five doesn’t hit their radar.
Hi,
In the context of mega funds I did not consider any Canadian private equity firms like Onex or Altas for example, only US firms in the United States - Blackstone, Carlyle Group, KKR, Bain Capital.
Saw your edit. Not considering laterals to EB and then MF. OP was asking if one can go from a Canadian Big five in Canada directly to MF and the answer is a hard no. These would be considered lower - middle market banks in the US.

That guy btw you mentioned at GIP came from Goldman not from a Big five.
