Based on the most helpful WSO content, RBC's Real Estate Investment Banking (IB) group in New York has been a topic of discussion. While specific details about recent layoffs or constant hiring aren't explicitly mentioned, RBC has faced challenges in certain areas. For example, RBC Calgary has been criticized for its culture, leading to a mass exodus of talent. Similarly, RBC's broader efforts to establish itself as a top-tier player in investment banking have been met with mixed results, with some volatility in earnings and high costs associated with their push.

If the New York Real Estate IB group is frequently hiring, it could be due to turnover, team restructuring, or efforts to expand their presence in the U.S. market. However, without direct confirmation of layoffs or specific reasons for hiring, it's hard to pinpoint the exact cause.

What is wrong with the group? I thought Canadians are nice and friendly? 

 

Aboid toxic culture all around. Highest face time culture at the bank (more than industrials). 

 

Is the toxicity from the MDs or VPs? I thought this team did deals from what has been announced
