I've heard only good things. If you like healthcare and biotech, it is one of the top shops to be at. They are on tons of IPOs and work with some pretty cool companies, and their M&A practice is growing. Seems like a great bank.

Dayman?
 

Improving reputation. Has been really trying to build out an M&A platform to compliment its ECM franchise.

Poached some interesting MDs from Stifel, Lazard, BBs, (DCM team), etc. and made a sizable acquisition of LMM bank Quarton to build out sell side.

Chicago office is run by an ex-BB, BMO MD and Industrials/Transpo focused. Houston I assume is energy but no insight there.

 

Cowen is a great name in healthcare and biotech. Their biggest offices for those industry groups are NYC and SF. They're also making really big moves in the cannabis industry. They see a vast amount of growth in that industry and it's a great revenue stream as some of the larger banks are "too traditional" to enter that industry. Chicago is M&A and pretty much just that, more industrial focused. They acquired a bank that specializes in M&A. Houston is Oil & Gas, same as most banks. Are you all asking about FT or SA? SA you get some input into your desired industry or product group. There's a networking event and you tell them your top industries and then you meet with the teams to see which is the best fit. The teams will pick who they think will be the best fit. This varies by office though. Some have less industry diversity. FT you're pretty much assigned to a group, but there is plenty of mobility down the road if you pay your dues.

I think I did this right
