Hello friends, I am in the interview process for these firms and would love your opinion on what I should go with as an analyst. I know it is completely based on locational preference as well, but what is the general consensus?
How would you rank these firms on culture, exit opportunities, deal flow, etc?

It will come down to Barclays vs Roth, and I personally believe Barclays has the upper hand.
Roth tech is growing a lot. Multiple $1B+ deals done over that past 12 months. Hiring plenty of senior bankers and good WLB
Barclays tech also just got gutted and most senior bankers went to UBS
Wouldn't the BB name carry farther?
Still far better
In what way?
Better deal experience, better exit ops, better brand.
Only a few MDs left.
Hey - May I ask if you are saying Barclays is far better or are you saying Roth is far better?
