You'd have little to lose with an RBC offer even in a great market. It is a very good firm, and is well known for having weathered the '08 crash better than almost any other big bank. (And I have never worked there). In this environment you should absolutely take it.

What would be a good idea, and entirely reasonable, is do some extra due diligence on the stability of the group that is extending you the offer, and get as much reassurance as you can that if you accept and stop recruiting, they will actually have a position for you.

You're not going to get anything binding out of those conversations, but you will be able to read between the lines and judge for yourself if they really believe what they're telling you.

Of course! RBC is a well respected lower middle market investment bank that specializes in ECM deals tossed over by Piper Sandler. If you're a company with $100-$200K in EBITDA please reach out to [email protected]

On the off chance that this is seriously not a troll, I can PM this person and I'm happy to give actual objective insight. Short of it: take the offer unless you have a close contact at one of the top BBs or top EBs. Also what the other certified user said is true, in regards to the uncertain future ahead, RBC is the safest bet as they were one of the very few banks that went through the financial crisis untouched

 

Lol a firm that paid 0 bonuses to associates is the "safest bet." I'd take any BB or EB over RBC
