RBC NY vs. Guggenheim NY SA

Just wondering how these two stack up. I have seen posts from a couple years ago, but it seems like the firms are both growing so things are probably different today. What do you guys think is the better place to start a career?

Is even this a real question? You're deciding between a Canadian retail bank that gets all of its business from its balance sheet and a top-tier advisory boutique that advises some of the biggest accounts in corporate America (Pfizer, Disney, Merck, etc.)
