I received offers for a generalist role at UBS and a capital markets role at TD. Based on my networking, I believe I could place into leveraged finance at either firm, given who I’ve built the strongest relationships with. I also think UBS offers a larger platform in the U.S. and has a stronger ranking in leveraged finance. I’d love to hear anyone’s thoughts.

If you do place into LF, UBS. If you don’t place into LF, TD.
But, placing into LF at UBS is hard, as it’s the best group and everyone wants it. On a risk-adjusted basis, TD might be better.
Would actually run with UBS in this scenario since TD's best groups are Tech, Healthcare, Comms & Media which OP can't place into since his only options are LevFin, ECM, DCM (LevFin is by far TD's best capital markets group so everyone's gonna gun for it and group placement at TD is quite literally a coin toss)
UBS gets too much hate on this forum but at the end of the day it is still a well-known bulge bracket and its worst groups are still on par / slightly worse than TD's best groups (other than maybe TD Tech / Comms & Media which punch above their weight class). Going with UBS also sets you up for proven MM/UMM exits / lateraling to top BB/EBs (yes, even their tech group despite the insane amount of hate on this forum) due to their historical name
