Can anyone speak to the culture and opportunities in S&T at the big Japanese banks in New York (MUFG, Nomura, Mizuho, SMBC). Would they be good places to start out in fixed income?

Based on the WSO Dataset, the culture at Japanese banks like MUFG, Nomura, Mizuho, and SMBC is often described as hierarchical and conservative, though there is a trend towards Americanization. This could influence the working environment and opportunities available in their S&T divisions in New York.
Regarding opportunities in fixed income at these banks, while specific details about fixed income roles aren't provided in the context, Japanese banks are known for their strong presence in project finance and other traditional banking sectors. This could translate into solid opportunities in fixed income, especially for those looking to leverage the banks' extensive networks and resources in Asia.
Starting out at one of these banks could provide a unique blend of exposure to both Japanese and American business practices, which might be beneficial for your career, especially if you are interested in roles that bridge these two major financial markets.

I can't speak to the culture at any of these places but all are trying to grow their presence in US fixed income. Mizuho, MUFG, and Nomura are pretty solid in securitized products and SMBC has been building out IG/HY credit. I think all solid options as places to start.
