Jefferies vs DB
I feel DB has somewhat stabilized based on their latest earnings and it got me wondering ... which is a better place to work?

I think DB; like you mentioned DB is on the rise and Jefferies has had some problems lately. Jefferies has good pay but had a low return offer rate for their summer analysts signaling that they are not in the best shape. People give a lot of shit to DB on this forum but at the end of the day it is still a BB and a top firm on the street.
Jefferies just had its best year ever and is up 268% for revenue in q4 YoY and is top 10 US m&a league tables for 2020. This is no contest.
edit: thx for the MS from the DB interns. This is literally all public information and is completely true just check the letter to shareholders which was just announced yesterday.
Bro DB has a much better brand than Jefferies. Also, Jefferies is a sweatshop. Even though Jefferies has performed really well this year, a BB firm like DB is a better place for starting a career.
Jefferies had lower summer returns rates due to expectations that deal flow would dry up, but instead, 2020 was a record year for them. The company has been aggressively hiring junior laterals / full-time analyst recruiting.
I agree that Jefferies has been doing well, but you can't compare a good MM shop to a BB. Jefferies is definitely on the rise, but DB is not struggling much anymore, their last revenue reports showed solid growth.
DB 100%. Ask any non-finance person if they have heard about Jefferies and you'll see no one know who they are.
Yeah but EVERYONE knows DB is struggling. Even your mom knows (she just told me).
Lol they are not struggling that much anymore, they are even moving to new, nicer headquarters in midtown.
Bud, no one outside of IB or Finance is gonna pay your bills. I’d much rather be at a place recognized by people inside the industry (and one performing strongly at that) rather than an institution everyone (inside and outside of finance) knows is struggling.
I don’t know tho. That’s just me.
Agreed - an analyst at Jefferies will have the same if not more opportunities than an analyst coming from DB.
