How do BB's compare in terms of capital markets? Is it the same breakdown of JP/GS/MS, Barclays/BofA/Citi, the rest? Or is there a different ranking for capital markets than IBD? Any insight would be appreciated.

Bloomberg / Reuters rankings should give you a view.
ECM: MS/GS DCM: C/BAML/JP LevFin: MS/JP/BAML/DB StrucFin: GS/C/DB
Note these are general ranking of dealflow/who's on the biggest deals. Junior experience varies.
I’d remove MS from LevFin. Does not have the balance sheet to compete with the other names you mentioned and it reflects in many of their deals.
I remember seeing MS on a good amount of major deals thanks to their global JV with MUFG providing capital. Is that no longer the case? Don't work in the space so not fully up to date.
Not sure about US but not as great in EMEA - you'll see JP and DB ranking top 5 but MS usually around 10-15. I would probably say CS instead of them.
