what position? Wells REGAL in NYC is probably the best group here. What industry group are you coming from?
I am coming from general M&A.
I am leaning REGAL and have offers at both Wells and RBC. Reason I am mentioning Levfin is because I have networked well with that group and can see myself converting my REGAL to a levfin offer
are you coming in as an analyst or associate/VP? Long term I think its the best group to be in out of the ones you mentioned for sure. Not worth going to Levfin unless you want to be CLT for some reason. They work in some big transactions and analysts have pretty awesome exits (Oaktree, Carlyle, CIM, Brookfield) but def the best group at wells by far.
If you like real estate I think I’d take WF over RBC
Is wells very active in the real estate and gaming space?
I don’t have the latest info but it is one of their better IB groups. Would take them over RBC in real estate
Definitely Wells

I’m trying to learn more about who the MDs are to network with them. You know where I can find list of MDs in regal for wells ?
also would love to read about this deal. Which company was it ?
what was the big cruise deal recenrly?

bumpppp
From a deal flow perspective are WF and RBC even close in REGAL? My guess is that WF does considerably more than them
WF. Better deal flow for RE and RBC RE is an absolute sweatshop
This, RBC across the board is sweatier than ever. My stupid ass thought Canadian banks would be nicer about this for some reason.
Wells Fargo has one of the strongest regal teams, the bank is a strong balance sheet lender and it should have a more established brand in the US (meanwhile I only heard of rbf after a recruitment event)
Wells REGAL is the easy choice here
Is wells overall better than RBC? Ignoring group specific strengths
bump
Both are good firms. It really depends on which groups you get offers to
I think RBC has a better legacy in IB but I would go with Wells at the current state
Agreed, definitely has more momentum
What are the hours/culture like for REGAL wells and REGAL RBC?
RBC is consistently 80 hour weeks and worse
Is wells not like that?
wells seems to be 65-70
