Hi everyone! I would appreciate if you could share some honest insight about the pros and cons of different banks. What ones are more highly regarded? Have the best culture? Have the worst hours? Speak your mind!

Use the search bar until you actually have an offer. Any offer is better than no offer. If you have offers from multiple places, ask specifically about those places we don't need another ranking thread. I have a FT offer (SA convert) to one of the lower tier banks according to this site but pretty sure anyone who struck out of FT recruiting would kill for it.
Shut the fuck up
Good morning Kanye
Why the aggressiveness though?
1) No one cares
If you want "rankings help" then you need to say "I have these offers from these groups and my goal is X, any tips WSO?"
Don't come in with no information, no offers, and ask useless generic rankings.
There was another post from today, on this topic that is accurate.
Ok I'll bite since it's Thanksgiving break. Source: my feelings
T1: GS, MS, RBC, Evercore, other elite groups such as (PJT RSSG)
T1.5: JPM, PJT, Centerview
T2: BAML, Citi, Lazard, Moelis,
T2.5: PWP
T3: DB, UBS, Greenhill, Jeffries, Rothschild, Guggenheim, Wells Fargo
T3.5: Houlihan Lokey, Harris Williams, William Blair
T4: Piper Sandler, Barid, Mizuho, Nomura, HSBC, BNP Paribas
LMFAO prospects just love the chance at ranking banks. Go get your offer little boy
I hope this list is an RBC or Wells Fargo joke
Nowhere close to being accurate
The bank you get an offer from > banks you don't get an offer from
The only ranking that matters
gotta rock with your bank till you die
1 - Top BB (GS/MS/JPM) and Top EB (Evercore/PJT/Centerview)
2 - Mid BB (Barclays/BAML/Citi/CS) and Mid EB (Lazard/Moelis/PWP/Greenhill)
3 - Lower BB (UBS/DB) and "rising stars" (RBC/Guggenheim/Jeffries)
4 - Top MM (Harris Williams, HL, Blair, Baird)
5 - Rest of the MMs/boutiques and balance sheet banks
Group is more important than bank (less relevant for boutiques) and rankings vary depending on personal performance for large bank vs boutique. Any one of the banks above are a great place to start your career, so the goal for all prospects should be to get an IB offer...you can rank between offers once you have them.
