BMO culture pretty decent at most of the groups apart from M&M (I heard they are better now after their latest fiasco, but don't know if that will last). Some groups are a bit grinder, but think they have some protected Saturday concept going on over there.

Forget about Scotiabank, but worth considering TD.

 

What BMO groups would give the best WLB? I’d assume Tech/ECM/DCM but how about RE/PUI/Diversified.

I have heard FIG & M&A are ofc right up there with M&M, just with slightly better cultures.

 

PU&I pretty sweat with good culture, RE sweat with bad culture, DCM is kind of sweaty across all banks right now, ECM fairly dead everywhere

 

You don’t want to be in a position where you don’t get the other two and are left without an offer. Just accept and then network to get the most chill group placement later

 

BMO culture is bad but M&M is still an extreme outlier. If TD cant accelerate just take the BMO offer.

 

Optio magnam laboriosam odit. Eum odio tempora neque sunt. Voluptatibus corporis pariatur ipsum molestiae tempore. Dolores aliquid doloribus soluta veniam aut natus beatae nam.
