RBC vs BofA for exit opps?

Which one has better exit opps (specifically vanilla PE MF and UMM), I understand RBC may have a marginally stronger brand name in recent years but BofA has a stronger legacy (courtesy of ML).

I've heard anecdotally that BofA has been messy internally with a lot of bloat at the junior and mid-level, resulting in less impressive exit opps compared to their historical performance, while RBC is rapidly on the rise and has placed a number of analysts into APO/BX/KKR this cycle.

Is this trollpost? RBC blows BofA out of the water in terms of placement and overall prestige. It's the first Elite Boutique Bulge Bracket Bank (EBBB) and has strong alumni like Eileen Gu. 

 

I know I'm on this forum too much when I can tell who OP is from the title...
