Japanese BB to replace Euro BB?

Currently working for a Japanese Bulge Bracket (think Mizuho / SMBC / Nomura) in their IB team. Seems like we're continuing to grow and expand into the Americas with great deal flow whereas Euro banks are going to shit (think CS / DB / UBS). How many years do you think it'll be until we take over the "bulge bracket" rankings?

I agree. If DJ D-Sol sees the Nomura analyst base raise to 100k, we’re going to see mass turnover from GS to the bank. Kids from my top target (think IU/Stern/Babson) say it’s a 50/50 split
