depends, what product within DCM? DCM could mean so many things.
High Yield / Syndication in BOTH investment grade/non-investment grade
is your end-path PE?
If so then there is no question...
if you want to make a career out of being a bulge bracket banker, than possibly BB DCM (you might want to mention which bank)
Both in NY, or regional?
Both in SF
Think Citi/BofA with strong balance sheet for the BB
If HF/PE is the end goal, should I really take the MM firm over the BB?
What level of MM M&A are you talking about?
Below JEF/HL, but a decent Tech shop in SF
MM Tech M&A in SF > BB DCM in SF. No question. Didn't even know there were DCM groups in SF.
I'm not too familiar with west coast boutiques but research the shop's dealflow and exit ops (Linkedin), etc...
if it's Qatalyst or similar then go for it. Idk why you'd even consider DCM
not quite Qatalyst, but only comparable firm I can think of is a Sagent Advisors type firm
if it's sagent or GCA (two quite different firms in my opinion), then go with MM M&A. It will be much easier for you to move (if you want to) to BB IBD
so say i want to take that offer then, how do i approach the firm and ask for the offer again if i had previously (in a very mannered way) turned down their offer?
do i just explain the situation or is there a better way to explain/bring it up?
...You should have mentioned in your first post that you had already rejected one of the offers about which you were asking. Think you're SOL, buddy.
You can't say I don't want to work for you and then say that you do. Why didn't you mention that earlier?
i turned it down prior to placement day
am i SOL like sterling archer says?
yup
...and im guessing it'll be just as SOL trying to lateral from DCM to an industry group?
it's possible just much rarer as you'll be pigeon-holed into capital markets and they expect you to come on for the role you interviewed for
well, i hope you didnt end up in Wells Fargo DCM...
i know someone who recently did two years at a bb in dcm, and is now in that bb's LevFin group...so it is doable
