RBC NY IBD VS CS SF Tech IBD

Which one is better for entry-level kids, considering culture, deal flow, and exit opportunities? I don't have a strong preference towards group and location. Much thanks!

If you're unsure of whether you want to be in banking long-term and not sure what you want to pursue post, then CS, no need to think further. The CS brand name is way more well known and will get you better opportunities more easily after being an analyst. 

 

Which group in RBC did you get? No one will expect you to pursue a tech career btw if you join a tech banking group. If you're unsure of what you want in general going forward, I'd say go with CS given it's brand recognition both within and more importantly outside of finance circles.
