RBC is stronger than DB in NA and DB is stronger outside of NA. There's nothing to argue here other than that RBC's platform has seriously grown and interns at other similar banks are feeling threatened, chill out guys.

 

I'd take gugg. From the people I've spoken to at gugg and Barclays, gugg has better hours/culture in most groups with similar-better exit opps

Also it depends on what you're interested in- gugg is much better for hc and tmt while Barclays is the god of power/nat res

 

CS >>>>>>>>>>>>> UBS > JEFF > RBC UBS still has legacy exit opportunities and Jefferies is more established than RBC

 

This isn't that accurate. Remember a larger size deal means there is more meaningless work as an analyst so the quality of what you are doing may not be good. You need to factor in # of deals as well as average deal size.

 

Top MM banks are Rothschild (maybe EB?), Jefferies, HL, RBC, William Blair / Baird

 

switch accounts already man!! This is so embarassing for you same "Analyst 1 M&A" sneakily inserts RBC into there to throw shade. Interview couldn't have been that bad there are so many banks out there!!!!

 

Couldn't go wrong either way, depends on your interests. I'd choose PJT in a heartbeat but I prefer the EB model to the BB one, and I think RX is an incredibly interesting space.
