RBC IBD NY M&A vs Tech

How is the Tech group doing / what are the potential exit opps into PE or VC? I've heard that the M&A group has the best exit opps, but I'm more interested in Tech.

I have nothing against RBC, or MM banking. I think RBC has a very unique culture with great people, great pay, but it's just not where you go if you're looking for solid PE exits. Always be skeptical when you're talking to current employees, because most of the time you won't get an objective opinion.

 

From what I've read, valuing early stage tech companies can require different multiples to capture potential earnings later on. I'm just curious to know if the M&A group will do most of the transaction, or if the coverage group will be deeply involved in the work.

 

Are you interviewing or have you already accepted an offer?

I have received an offer and I am now trying to decide whether to accept vs. risk trying to get into a BB with a later recruiting cycle.

I have received an offer and I am now trying to decide whether to accept vs. risk trying to get into a BB with a later recruiting cycle.

If this is your only offer, accept it. Not to sound condescending or anything, but I am amazed at how college students are willing to risk not getting a SA or FT position just for that BB name. Yes, a BB will set you up with better exits, but RBC (or anything "lesser" than a BB) is still better than nothing. Worst case scenario: you accept the RBC offer, you hate it at RBC, and then you lateral. Not exactly the end of the world.

Just trying to put things into perspective. Good luck.
