“Analysts are given great exposure both from a client and senior banker perspective from a very early time in the analyst program. On my second month on the job, we had a sell-side healthcare services M&A transaction going through diligence. The CEO specifically asked to meet me and thank me for all my hard work on the transaction over the past couple months. It is my understanding that this sort of experience does not happen at bulge bracket investment banks.”

Investment Banking Analyst 2019 - Present

“My internship experience at Piper Sandler was everything I could have asked for and more. I was fortunate to spend two summers at Piper, where I not only learned the tactical skills needed to succeed on the job, but also the importance underlying the work I was doing. The leaders of Piper Sandler did a great job investing in me as a young professional, as a colleague, and as a person. Piper has fostered a healthy and inclusive culture, focusing on relationships and collaboration, allowing for optimal outcomes for both the client and the firm. I am very grateful for the relationships I made and the invaluable skills I learned throughout my internship experience at Piper Sandler.”
