Piper Jaffray in 2019
Does anybody know what Piper Jaffray is like in 2019? Really liked the people I met when I recruited (Minneapolis) and am now considering an offer.
Would also appreciate insight into the SF/NY offices, as I think I would want to transfer out of Minneapolis if promoted to associate. Thank you!
Also curious. If NuclearPenguins still has any connections left in the firm I'd be genuinely appreciative/interested to hear his opinion on this one.
Very active and busy. There's no way culture is improved yet given the posts from last year that were heard around the finance world, but certain groups are better than others.
Yep, still active and busy as far as I’m aware. Certain things did improve a little bit from what I heard (better production room support, for example), and I think Saturdays are slightly better enforced now. But still a place where you’ll get worked.
Thanks for the insight guys. Have seen both of your names pop on this site as I have researched certain Midwest cities, have appreciated all of the contributions you both have made. Any thoughts on groups that have a more "active" lifestyle vs. others?
Meaning?
Thanks for the input, Tony! Was just wondering if you had any more specific info on the groups in the SF office?
Isn't that the startup from Silicon Valley......
.
Is there any reason why you would consider HC in SF less "strong" than HC in Minn?
Is it comparing capital mkts activity to M&A, relative weakness in biotech, or something else?
I'd add their Houston office to the list. Simmons has great deal flow and MD's have hung around after merger. They worked on something like 7/10 MM OFS deals.
Can someone way in on the Boston office?
Bump - Would anyone be able to speak about general perception of Piper Jaffray on the street?
Just curious how it's seen in relation to other MM firms like Blair, Stifel, and Jefferies.
Thanks!
There have been many SAs and analysts that have jumped from Piper Jaffray to Jefferies in recent years. I know for a fact that top Piper management holds Jefferies in high regard and have all but explicitly stated that they are trying to be more like Jefferies. Can't speak so much on the others (especially when it comes to groups), but the fact that top people at Piper have mentioned Jefferies to me several times seems revealing enough to me.
Bump - I'm a target-school sophomore strongly interested in Healthcare finance down the line, so I'm figuring out how I want to prioritize my networking for Summer 2021.
Is Piper Jaffray's Healthcare franchise as strong as it used to be? Are all of its offices equally strong for Healthcare, or are some better than others? What about for Healthcare sub-verticals? (I would prefer to not work in Minneapolis, and I'm particularly interested in biotech/pharmaceuticals)
Thank you for your time and perspectives!
if you're at a target just avoid piper lmfao
