SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP
Waiting for all hell to break loose LMAOO
Hey friend, I haven't seen this question posted before but do you think RBC is a BB now?
please god make it stop
How is RBC regarded in 2020?
Top BB (think GS, MS, JPM, RBC)
I'm guessing your guess is correct. In addition, I'm guessing we'll have a very productive discussion here.
this is ridiculous but I’m gonna go for it. GS, MS, JPM, BAML, Citi, Barclays, CS, DB, UB. EB: Evercore, PJT, Centerview, Moelis, PWP, missing some, maybe Guggenheim Jefferies is solid MM better than db and UB
I would have to put CS ahead of Citi and Barclays. It is all group dependent, but culture and exit opps have been increasing fairly quickly compared to citi and barCap. I would put CS right under BAML, if not on the same tier. Might receive MS but look at league tables.
bad take, citi and barclays are not only better but growing faster than CS
CS is not close to Barclays/Citi, CS has slowly dropped in league tables over the years and invests more in PWM vs IB. It's not a good time to be in IB at a European bank, but Barclays is insulated due to their acquisition of Lehman Brothers and investment into advisory. Citi is the clear winner out of the three and CS is the clear loser.
thank you prospect for these sick ranks bro, clearly a source of trusted information that other fellow prospects should follow
Elite: GS MS EVR RBC
Upper: Go fuck yourself
Can we ban discussion of RBC's ranking for like a month or something? For the record I think they're a lower BB now but I'm tired of arguments breaking out every time their name comes up.
Mod close this thread
As "unpopular" these threads are, everytime someone posts a ranking thread, tons of people jump in and give rankings anyway lol. I guess by next week, there should be at least 50 comments.
Hey everyone I'm trying to decide between DB, Tobin & Co, and killing myself. Anyone have advice/directions to an ammunition store? I apologise in advance for forcing you to acknowledge my existence.
killing yourself is the best exit option out of the three
Strictly from an exit opp, specfically PE, perspective. Consider the order within tiers to be random.
T1. GS, MS, JPM, EVR, PJT, CVP
T2. Bofa, Citi, Barclays, Lazard, Moelis
T3. Credit Suisse, PWP, Guggenheim
T4. Greenhill
T5. RBC, DB
T6. UBS, WFS
Agree, but you can go literally anywhere you want from anywhere on Tier 1-3 and most of Tier 4-6
