I'm astonished at all of the bad information that is given on this site. CS is a great bank, but tearing it up in league tables and higher compared to DB? Are you even looking at the league tables? DB is dominating CS in just about every league table I just looked at....M&A, Debt, and Equity.

Both are great groups, but DB Lev Fin > CS Lev Fin. CS Lev Fin doesn't do any sponsor related activity, their Sponsors group does all of it. That to me, makes the CS LF group inferior to DB's. Both groups do all of the modeling, which is what you'd want from a Lev Fin group, though DB's Lev Fin does LBO modeling while Sponsors does that at CS.

Both have great cultures as far as BB banks go, but DB wins this one as well.

 
pivot1990Can't you call a better bank and do accelerated interviews? If I have received these offers, I would not be satisfied.

I usually don't care to call someone out on this stuff but Pivot you just posted the following in the last couple weeks:

//www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/deutsche-bank-levfin //www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/db-ibd-culture

Which leads me to believe you got dinged from DB. No point posting that nonsense passive aggressive comment if the guy is asking for legit advice. His offers are solid.
