Nomura S&T SA 2027 Sponsorship

I recently received an offer for the Nomura Global Market SA 2027 program in NYC and am currently deciding whether to accept. I'd love to hear from anyone with recent experience at Nomura S&T.

A few questions:

1. Does Nomura S&T accept CPT for summer internships and sponsor international students (H-1B) for returning full-time analysts?
2. What have return offer rates looked like in recent years for the S&T internship?
3. What are the most respected desks within Nomura S&T?
4. What do exits typically look like after a few years? Have people successfully moved to macro hedge funds, asset management, or other buy-side roles?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
