Hi everyone,
I would like to hear your opinions regarding FT investment banking offers at RBC and DB, specifically in London. Which would you choose and why?

I haven't looked at the most recent League tables but I thought that DB was much stronger in Europe than RBC.
DB without a question
Thanks for your opinion! My high-view feeling is that whilst RBC is up and coming and has great culture (from what I've heard), DB has the better deal flow in London and stronger mandates. The only thing that would pull my leg on this is their restructuring process which has caused some shifts across deal teams in London, i.e. job security. Thoughts on this?
DB is much stronger as a whole but RBCs P&U group is one of the best on the street and better than DB’s.
Thanks for the information, EnergyIBK!
big difference between North America and Europe presence. DB is several orders of magnitude better than RBC in Europe.
Thanks for your input!
DB LDN >>>>>>> RBC LDN
All banks are seeing record deal flow and are desperate for juniors so I wouldn’t worry about job security in this environment
