RBC FIG, UBS Tech, Barclays Tech
I have recently seen job postings for lateral analysts in all the groups above. Can anyone comment on group strength, culture, and exit opps?

Bump. Interested as well.
The UBS tech posting is actually for the NY team, which is mostly media/internet I believe. I know UBS's tech/software deals are handled in SF, but don't know much else though.
RBC fig is okay, but not something to write home about. League tables may be misleading as they had one giant deal a few years back. But overall would avoid for other fig teams
I heard they were a top-notch group on the street, maybe I am misinformed. Do you know how the culture and exit opps are?
Lol rbc fig is not a top notch group
Not sure if worth noting, but they poached a few of the DB FIG guys and landed BB&T SunTrust, KKR's BDC merger, etc. I imagine they do alright.
Yeah, my impression was they were one of RBC's top groups. Do y'all know the culture there?
The DBs guy chased that deal for ten years. It’s practically their only client. Great deal and that specific deal was one off for RBC
This is true because before and after that deal there are no bank deals lmao. That group is a joke
I have been seeing these postings too! Have you gotten a response from any of the above yet?
I have heard back from one of these. Have you?
Congrats! Nope not yet, applied in the last couple of days. Are they scheduling first rounds or having you complete an assessment?
Barclays Tech has chill junior level people but apparently horrible (to work with) MDs, probably why there's a lateral slot open. Super grindy, 90+ hrs every week type place. Also, their tech group is actually based out of NYC with a satellite out west in MP, should that be important to you. They cover pretty much all verticals from NYC. Huge range of exits.

Barclays Tech is sweaty
Any specifics with regards to exits?
Ranges from multiple MFs to top (at least at the time) startups - can really get an interview anywhere. Group seems to have had a drastic improvement in quality/culture/MDs so likely won't be any lateral spots at the analyst level at this point.
I know enough about UBS Tech and RBC FIG to know neither are paradise. Barclays tech probably the same
UBS Tech can’t even get the simple things right
