Can’t tell if this is a troll posting or not….what could you possibly mean re “DB’s situation” that’s worse than ftp current state?

If this is real go DB, it’s a no brainer. You’re way more likely to get a return offer and will recruit from a known, respected bank. Ftp cut internship to 6 weeks and about to have a horrendous return offer rate. They’re also very niche and still a relatively unknown bank in the real world. Their recognition on the internet is outsizes compared to bankers’ on the streets awareness. Most groups you recruit with will lump you in the basket of recruitees from no name boutiques

 

Top 10 global bank vs some absolute shitter where you will work 120 hour weeks to not get a bonus. up to you

 

On every thread about FTP I always see some “Analyst 1 in PE - Growth” just absolutely shitting on the bank lmao is there something personal here
