Guggenheim Santa Monica LA vs RBC Capital Markets NY

Trying to make a decision. Does anyone have any perspective on these two groups in terms of summer experience as well as exit opps?

RBC all the way, even assuming you get an SA offer from gugg being in NYC will offer you far more opportunities down the road assuming you don't want to be a career banker (even then I'd start in NYC)

 

RBC NY. Trust me. I am well informed about Guggenheim SM. Terrible culture (horrible senior management). Significant focus on Consumer & Retail deals. Exit opps are also terrible. Whatever you do, take RBC NY over Guggenheim SM. My 2 cents, but very well informed 2 cents.
