General Insights:
If you are looking for a balance between deal flow and a manageable work-life balance, it might be beneficial to explore other groups within RBC or consider other banks with a better reputation for culture and hours.

M&A, PU&I, to an extent Div have great deal flow and are pretty consistently busy. Tech and Real Estate have pretty good culture. Mining there sucks.
Is the culture or deal flow bad on their mining team?
Deal flow is bad in the mining group
Culture also bad in mining group. Avoid at all costs.
Deal flow's not great (historically done worse than other B5 Mining groups) - key standout negative aspect is culture. Some chill people on the team, other people are toxic as hell (get clowned even at other banks).
What about LevFin/DCM?
Team with most whites - wouldn't recommend
thats racist...
