Can’t decide on the one hand i think wells is gaining lots of deals and DB is losing but is there prestige gap?

Do top DB groups differ that much from Wells like (Regal, IND, Sponsors)
Those aren't top
Ridiculous question. The only answer should be DB based on overall performance, exit opportunities, and prestige.
Seems like you are upset? DB has a measle operation in the US and their few exits from Levfin are slowly ramping down whereas by the time analysts start at wells it will likely be BB-lite or same BB reputation
You're the one asking for an opinion. If you don't like it, then don't ask for other people's opinions in the first place, and don't make this post. I could sense you're leaning one way, though. However, I don't think WF will ever reach the same level of prestige as DB.
WF - growing platform. Great comp. Good hours & people. Insane office.
How is it great comp? What is analyst 1/2 pay ?
super interesting you said insane office - are you talking about nyc or clt?
Similar answer as the UBS thread a while back. The pros for DB are slightly stronger/well known IB brand (they’re known as a BB) and slightly better exit opps… both due to legacy reputation and not the current state of the bank.
Everything else is better at WF. Better pay, upward trending platform, friendlier culture. It’s also a US focused bank that primarily attracts US talent, so there are less internationals running around gumming everything up and creating problems.
how tough are the exit opps can't get over fact
Wells . id only take DB if it was LevFin
it is wells nyc and db nyc both generalist so neither of the groups guaranteed
Probably Wells.
then id take wells
DB is the worse UBS whether that be historical reputation (historically DB has been viewed as the worst BB), exits, or historical America's deal flow. I think WF is a stronger platform than UBS and a much better spot to start your career unless absolutely set on buyside. I think similarily for the DB / WF debate.
If I want buyside can I get UMM easily from Wells with hard work? I would consider buy side --
