Baird RE IB in DC? Spoken w/ recruiter regarding an analyst opening
Currently I work in corp M&A for a large public strategic ($20B+). Just spoke with a recruiter about an opening with Baird's RE IB team in DC. I'm interested in DC because I have strong family ties to the area and my girlfriend is potentially moving there for work as well.
Does anyone have insight on the culture of the team? I don't know much about real estate to be perfectly honest but the recruiter said they're open to anyone with an M&A background. Given the personal reasons I'd like to learn more about the team and what the work would likely entail.
I would also love it if people could list some other solid groups/banks in DC if anyone is more intimately familiar with the ecosystem there.
I don't much about the RE team in DC, but there are other banks that you could explore in DC region as well (MM and Boutiques).
I think even a BB or two has a presence there.
Updated the OP to ask people familiar with the area for some other suggestions. Unfortunately none of my connections to the area are finance related so I'd appreciate some insight from people more familiar with the ecosystem there.
(Incomplete) Random List of Banks in MD-DC-VA Region:
Baird Stifel Greenberg Advisors Three Twenty-One Capital Partners McLean Group Outcome Capital Clearsight Advisors DC Advisory
I think Houlihan has an office in DC too.
I'm pretty sure that's their A&D division after talking with a friend who was getting recruited to be a lateral associate for that team. Solid team for sure but definitely not a space I'm particularly interested in which I imagine would show immediately.
Is it safe to say Baird and Stifel would probably be the best considered of these banks in terms of deal flow? I don't recognize any of the other names as MMs so I'm guessing they're all regional boutiques.
jeffries has an office there and KippsDeSanto is another bank in the area that does AD
Baird, Stifel and HL are the best MM banks in that region.
Outside of that, you are looking are regional boutiques on a sliding scale
Any additional insight on the Baird RE group? Does anyone know of what deals they have worked on?
