RBC vs RBCCM and thoughts on RBCCM

WSO lists comp information both on RBC and RBCCM. Does RBC have IBD or is IBD solely with RBCCM. Also, what are your thoughts on RBCCM's NY exit ops?

Any info on comps, best groups, culture? I know there are lot's of threads about RBC but there seems to be a lack of general consensus about the firm. Please give genuine feedback and don't just shit on the company

RBC actually does have a mid-market investment banking group, at least in Canada. It is a relatively small division so any reviews you see for it are likely people confusing it with RBCCM. It is important to note though that RBCCM is still owned by RBC.

I hear exits have been improving as of recent, the group you are in will likely also play a big factor in the quality of exit.

This group rolls in under commercial banking and is a different kettle of fish than what Americans would consider 'mid market'. IE, they deal with companies that are private and EV's under $250mm I believe. Comp is roughly half. Hours aren't quite half but significantly less.
