Cowen vs. OP vs. FBR

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you could tell me which bank you would work for if you had an offer from the following: Cowen and Co., Oppenheimer, and FBR Capital Markets.

I have to make a decision by next monday and I would like to hear your input.

Thanks,

Charlie

I thought Cowen and Opco don't place analysts into groups until the end of training... Or are you a lateral?

Anyway, Cowen's HC practice is being rebuilt right now, and I haven't seen them in tech recently as much. Opco is relatively strong in tech, but that depends on the specific subsector (do you have any details?). FBR I don't know much about.
