Is this Roth/HL Rx or industry coverage?
industry. also opinions on gugg/greenhill/roth/HL/JEF would be appreciated, and how they compare to barclays/rbc/ubs
I would take Gugg or Greenhill over Jef over Roth/HL but thats just me. That is going to be a bit less clear and will vary.
The BBs are easier Barclays>RBC>UBS
Barclays is much much better than any bank you mentioned. Gugg is also up there. UBS/roth are a bit weak in US.
Just to provide some context for OP's decision, Roth is generalist for summer so he/she could end up in RX if he/she chooses to gun for it over course of the summer
That makes it a bit more complicated as I would consider choosing Roth Rx over the rest but again, some people may have different views
EMEA or US? Big difference IMO!
EMEA: UBS is the absolute clear choice. Roth is a strong upper MM shop with an occasional large cap deal.
US: No idea but not as clear I suppose!
Roth > UBS in EMEA (London & Paris)

In the US and not rx? RBC otherwise HL rx/Roths rx
No memes please but RBC is definitely a cut above those other banks in the US imo
If it’s the US, definitely choose RBC or UBS depending on group and culture. If outside of the US, choose anywhere but RBC
UBS has the best reputation for exit opportunities, even if its M&A team is not as strong. Reputation and strength of deal flow are two different things and RBC's reputation has not caught up to that of a global bank's like UBS
Would choose UBS as well. The other three banks are the same tier so it comes down to preference
it doesn't matter...all of those are great firms.
If you only care about exit opps, then HL and UBS all the way.
But if you want to have a good time and surround yourself with people you can shoot the shit with, (I know i'm going to get ms for this...) then RBC. I've never met a hardo from RBC and everyone there is super chill. It's like they drank maple syrup or something before hitting the desk.
Just my two cents.
I'd still put HL a cut below all the others as OP seems to not be talking about their restructuring practice. Will concur about RBC, for all the drama on here, kids there are straight chillers and know how to have a good time, heavy on fit in interviews.
Fair, but would you really want to pigeonhole yourself into only investment banking for the rest of your life with 80-100 hour work weeks? It's all about exit ops, and UBS is better than RBC for that
I don’t think ones ability to exit will be much different between RBC and UBS. At that point not worth splitting the hairs, your ability to exit from one of these lower tier platforms will depend on deal experience, education, etc which is all individual specific.
