Wondering which banks have the worst retention problems

Those of you who've left prior to a normal 2-3 year stint in a junior role or senior pros who left by choice to pursue something totally different in a different field, can you guys give bank information and feel free to qualify with anecdotes.

If you like use a format like:

JPM/GS/MS and group (coverage, generalist)

If you prefer not to use tiers, BB/EB/MM designations won't be that much helpful. Maybe say a more descriptive one like,

"European country originating dominant BB that had a lot of trouble after 2008".. please.
