Let's assume IBD. Of these 'question mark' firms, where would you go for a SA spot. Rank the order in terms of current reputation, job security (or lack thereof), etc.
KBW- recently sold to Stifel
Miller Buckfire- also sold to Stifel
Gleacher- may be up for sale soon and bad morale
RBS- seem to be cutting many IBD operations globally
UBS- recently cut 10,000 and consistently laying people off

How so? All firms that have been in tough times lately, and I'm interested in which people believe have the most optimistic future- also will be doing a super-day at 2 of the firms, so I'm personally interested as well.
I would say: UBS RBS Miller

i would take ubs far and clear away. 2nd rbs. ubs is honestly the only one that comes close to being a legitimate bank, ya culture and morale sucks but if you leave there you could prob go to a bulge bank; the others im not even sure if bulge would look at you. i dont remember the last time rbs was on a deal, but is still a big bank. gleacher used to be prestigious but really took a nose dive recently from the elite boutiques; i dont think ive ever heard of a gleacher analyst at a buyside interview where as you will come across ubs on buyside for sure. dont go near stifel w 10 ft pole. horrible rep

Lazard MM, GS IMD, Robert Baird, Lincoln, William Blair, Moelis. All threads you have recently made.
Now UBS, RBS, Gleacher, Miller Buckfire, KBW? You sound like an all-star, just saying.
You're welcome by the way. UBS is the obvious choice, its still a brand name and global despite becoming a weaker bulge bracket.

I'm no all-star. Despite all that, I think it is interesting to see which of these places- all currently struggling or part of a recent deal- has the most upside. Honestly didn't even apply to Miller Buckfire or Gleacher- grouped them in because they seemed to fit.
