You're confusing league tables with prestige 

Prestige does include league tables but also need to consider who the team hires and what the team does for your broader career. There's a reason that BMO along with other M&M teams post their applications separate because they're the least desired groups out of the bank. Typically these teams get the leftover people that didn't make it to the generalist SA recruiting process, so the interns they get are already the least desirable. The FT hires they bring in are from the worst coverage groups (other M&M teams) or those that didn't receive return offers. 

Now if we're talking exits every other group you listed besides CIBC M&M have better exits, and the best exits from this team are to other coverage groups at RBC/TD/BMO

 

is bmo m&m rlly that good? im an incoming sa and can choose either m&a/m&m/dig. and not sure which way I should go

 

M&M - Best/biggest deals, easy to leverage its prestige for a better FT offer, relatively sweaty

M&A - Second most sweaty, good deals

DIG - Not as sweaty, dubious deal flow

 

Please stop spreading misinformation

BMO M&M is not relatively sweaty, it's the sweatiest team you can join. No it's not easy to leverage it's "prestige" for a better FT offer (any examples of this actually happening?) The team is notorious for not letting you get any time to recruit and if they find out, good luck

Pick M&A if you want deals or DIG for culture
