UBS vs DB
Between DB and UBS offers, which would you take? Which is stronger for TMT? Does UBS have decent exit ops or is it bad for PE recruiting? Are either of them even BBs anymore?

That makes sense. Thank you!
Seems like the rainmakers at UBS always leave.
Yeah, partially because a good portion of their bonus is stock and UBS stock literally hasn't moved since IPO lol.
Legit 95% of UBS TMT seniors left, though it will be rebuilt over next 12-18 months. The group was firmly planted in the BB territory, but is essentially ghost town for the near future so DB>UBS.
IMO most other groups though UBS > DB.
Would flag that UBS has an extremely strong niche with financial sponsors. UBS, CS, and DB (used to) tend to make their bread and butter from sponsor transactions. DB has slipped in that footing over the last several years. Would expect all three of those banks to have +50% of their firm fees generated thru sponsor related transactions.
Fyi ubs lost their sf team but still strong in EU/ Apac tmt
