Are we seeing more people go to DB, CS?

I thought that more people would be going to places like DB and CS with more regulation coming in America but looks like the american banks are doing well still? If you are coming out of college now, are you more likely to chose DB/CS over an american bank?

Banks like BAML, JP, Citi and WF are growing and leveraging their relationships and balance sheets a lot so I would think they are doing better rather than foreign banks.

 

Despite the heavy regulation that will happen, Banks will still find a way to escape it, at least to a certain extent. To be honest, I'm not the type that is bothered about groups, etc... As long as I get a job in M&A, I'm happy.

 
boutiquebank4lifeRegulations will not affect IBD, only small parts of S&T and proptrading/risk taking within banks.

Surely it will indirectly affect comp. as margins get tighter.
