Best Banks for A2A?

Incoming SA26 and have spent some time realizing I want to pursue IB beyond the analyst years. I'm curious which banks tend to promote internally more than rely on MBA associates - more specifically BB & EBs

Inaccurate with most current An2’s across all groups not getting the nod

 

false, RBC is moving towards a 3 year analyst program as indicated by hr

 

 BofA barely pays their associates 

A2A a joke because associates get paid like analysts 

 

Bro ur an incoming intern and u already think u want to stay? Just wait til ur actually on the desk you’ll prob change ur mind

 

Any EB, you better get paid if you stay as an associate in IB. Everyone who says otherwise is BSing or got dinged by top EBs
