DB vs. Evercore vs. Guggenheim for IB SA
Which is better in terms of culture, pay, and exit ops? Positions are all in NYC. Having a hard time comparing. Thanks!

Evercore has great culture, above street pay, and excellent ops. DB has street pay, good to questionable culture, depending on the group, and solid exits (despite what people say about this bank, the 'top groups' at DB still place). Guggenheim I think pays street, works very long hours, and doesnt have great exits.
Deal-wise Evercore is the most active. You saw Guggenheim a lot last year - but I don't know what big mandates they have been on this year and the M&A market has been quieter overall. I didn't see DB a lot this year or last year.
Evercore is a top shop by many people's standards and I would strongly recommend going there.
What above says, Evercore.
Evercore, Gugg, DB in that order. All good options though congrats.
You're telling me you got offers for all 3 before August??? My contact is on the recruiting team for Deustche and from last time I talked to him they weren't going to do anything till August
Plenty of target school spots at all BBs for 2018 SA have been filled for about 1 to 2 weeks now. It's likely the poster was in this category
And this was through online applications?
I go to a target. This is not true at all unless your school is some female/diversity haven.
Maybe top firms might be filled from leveraging offers, but no one's leveraging an offer for DB
For IB specific - E, DB, G.
Even through DB's scandals, still has a lot of street credibility and clout
Heard Evercore really expanded noncore recruiting this year. Will definitely hurt the firm's reputation.
I can personally verify that 2/3 of these firms didn't give out offers in July unless your dad is an MD.
That said: EVR, DB, Gugg.
