since you don't have offers to these firms, this post is pointless

Actually had FT offers at 2 of them (Firm A and B), and had intern offers from Firm A and another firm (Firm C) :)

I'm actually starting FT at Firm A

 

I would definitely consider Jefferies.

No need to rank when you have the offer signed sealed and deliver. Just enjoy school before commencement....

There all good. Piper Jaffray is just not as prestigious as most. I would probably chose STI, but that is just me.

Also depends on location. If it's all headquarters then definitely the NYC MM firms trump the Chicago MM firms any day of the week (unless you're from Chicago/don't want to live in NYC).

I'll just do this for fun:

Jefferies HLHZ Stifel (only because they're tangibly growing compared to others) OpCo HW (shitty locations) Blair Baird Piper Suntrust
