Can anyone in the business give their opinion of sellside shops-if not ranks, maybe tiers? It seems to differ greatly from regular IB rankings (e.g. Goldman doesn't place well in institutional investor rankings).

I'm recruiting too, but I've had a couple of ER internships already, and this is the impression that I get:
Tier 1: JPM, BAML Tier 2: GS, MS, Evercore, Citi, Bernstein, Barclays Tier 3: Credit Suisse, RBC, UBS, DB
I'm a lot less confident about the middle market perception though, so I'd appreciate some color on that from someone.
I'm assuming this is US? Or Global?
Curious if you could do a tier list for Asia.
US. Not very familiar with Asia. I know CS, SocGen, and DB are all better regarded for their international research than their US research, but that's about it
evercore, baml, jpm, citi, bernstein, and ubs are tops
Is UBS really tops? Whenever I look at their research reports they seems mediocre.
Is there a more complete list that includes other IB's such as jefferies, william blair, etc?
Agreed, since everyone knows the top5 and it rarely changes, it'd be more interesting to see someone rank:
Cowan, Jefferies, Baird, William Blair, Piper Jaffray, KB Woods, Stifel and Lincoln.
I know Institutional Investor and Greenwich among other sources provide these resources to subscribers, so maybe someone on the buyside with access could chime in here.
In my buyside experience, all of these guys consistently crank interesting research
Jefferies, Cowen, RBC rival any bulge imo. Pay is just as good if not better than most bulges here too.
Blair, Piper, Stifel, RayJay all a step below.
Needham, Baird, Cannacord, probably next tier.
Any thoughts on KeyBank? Where do they fit in?
Would those rankings hold true today? Are Jefferies, Cowen, and RBC still a cut above other MM shops?
Key bank probably in tier 2 or 3.
