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.

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.
