Based on the most helpful WSO content, the BofA return offer rates for 2021 were reported to be in the 50-60% range, which is lower compared to historical levels. This rate applies across their offices, though specific office-level breakdowns are not detailed.

In comparison, other BB (Bulge Bracket) banks had varying return rates: - Barclays: Around 70% (historically higher but dropped in recent years). - UBS: Approximately 70%, with historical rates ranging from 75-90%. - Credit Suisse: Maintained a strong 90% return rate. - Jefferies: Reported at 85%. - Lazard: Consistently high at 90%. - PJT Partners: 80% for M&A, 90% for RX.

These figures highlight that BofA's return rates were notably lower than many of its peers during that period.
