RBC is a “better bet” than CS according to Brian from Mergers & Inquisitions

DISCLAIMER: Have no connection to either firm. Simply want to add more fuel to the fire and watch the interns go at it as I sit here bored out of my mind on day 67 of quarantine. Perhaps some DB and UBS interns can jump in and make things a bit more interesting? Thoughts overall?

I work at CS. Can we please not do another one of these threads. No one cares

 

The problem with these ranking threads is that they're 90% just arguing over minute differences in rankings. If you want a real ranking here it is:

1: GS, MS, JP, EBs

2: PWP, Citi, Barclays, Gugg, RBC, DB, CS, BAML

3: All other banks

Getting any more granular than this is pointless, the differences in experiences between the banks in each tier are not meaningful enough to wine all day on WSO about.

 

Agreed, dropping RBC and adding Greenhill 1: GS, MS, JP, Evercore, PJT, Lazard, Moelis, Centerview 2: PWP, BAML, Guggenheim, Barclays, CS, Greenhill, Citi, DB 3: All other banks

 

Is CS decreasing its focus on advisory compared to US BB/Barclays/RBC? Yes

Are they still extremely strong and will continue to be so in a number of areas? Also yes

If someone wants to go to PE after 2 years CS is still the easy choice. If they want to be at the same bank for 15-20 years, maybe the answer is RBC now.
