From the lack of comments seems like the exits are probably non-existent to nothing to brag about on an anonymous Wall Street forum for teenagers and young professionals. GL

Tmt and industrials still strong, infra and REGLL pretty good too and Levfin.
Heard some significant senior departures from TMT and infra recently though, tmt London has lost a lot of momentum and struggling to close
Head of infra left, a Director and VP also left
UBS tier now
Yeah some bad UBS hires too
Culture-wise DB > UBS. But for deal experience and exits, UBS >>> DB
Genuine question how so with deal experience? Listed a number of recent deals below across groups (Lottomatica, Nestle, Stryker, Rocket Labs, Uber, etc) could be off but don’t feel like you see UBS around this type of M&A.
Seems like a solid bank to exit to EBs (think Lazard/Moelis) and upper-tier BBs (think JPM/Citi)
Tbh...pretty bad. LevFin/FSG had long been the shining points with the strongest exits, but for a variety of reasons, the franchise on that side has eroded significantly. Was noted previous thread that they've now combined LevFin and FSG which is frankly a reflection of the lack of left-lead dealflow. Lost their whole BusServ team to JPM which was brining in a lot of lead LevFin buisness.
For the past few years, it was on the same tier as UBS/RBC/WF/Jeff...but honestly, even DB's top groups are a step below those other names as far as deal experience and exits. For as much shit as UBS gets, their Sponsors/LevFin franchise is running laps around DB as of late. Most exits now are 1) leave banking to a cushy corp dev spot, 2) no-name PE, or 3) lateral. Recent laterals have been to GS, JPM, Lazard, and Moelis, so seems to still be solid if you want to jump to a more active platform.
REGLL was known to be good for a while, but honestly I have not seen anything significant they've done in over a year.
Bump for a London perspective, how are exits and what teams are best for exits?
TMT had best exits. Last 1-2 years include: Permira, KKR, Blackstone, EQT, PSG,
From Industrials, plenty lateralled to GS/JPM within 12-18 months. A few direct exits include: Bain Capital, Oaktree, Onex, Platinum
You are cooked if you are at any other coverage team
How does TMT have such good exits compared to the rest of the bank?
Anyone have insight into consumer, retail; and bus serv exits in the U.S.? They seem to be one of DB’s stronger groups afaik
See above, they lost effectively their whole BusService side which was the strong point in that group. No meaningful deal flow on the C&R segment so unless you want to be doing just pitch work or right books stuff would avoid
