BAML's return rates for summer analysts in Sales & Trading (S&T) have been noted to be competitive but not top-tier. According to insights from WSO discussions, BAML is often placed in a tier below GS, JPM, and MS. However, it is considered stronger than banks like CS and Barclays. European banks like Barclays and CS may have slightly higher return rates due to smaller summer analyst classes and less overhiring compared to American banks like BAML.

As for the best trading desks at BAML, here are some highlights based on WSO content:

  1. Credit Trading: BAML has been recognized as strong in the credit space.
  2. G10 FX Trading: This desk has been mentioned as a solid option for those interested in FICC.
  3. Municipals S&T: Another desk worth considering, especially for those looking for less automation and good exit opportunities.

If you're looking for desks with strong exit opportunities and less likelihood of automation, focusing on FICC-related desks like G10 FX or Municipals could be a good move.
