BMO Metals & Mining or RBC Tech

Once again, BMO Mining (Toronto) vs. RBC Tech (SF). As mentioned earlier:

BMO is a great bunch of guys, the best culture I have seen on the street, and the deal flow in the mining group is top-notch. RBC on the other hand has a solid US growth plan in the MM arena but I have no idea about their west coast operations. I am heavily leaning towards BMO mining at this point. I am going for a 1st year analyst position btw. Any thoughts?

I don't know mining and metals banks to be honest. However, unless you're sure that you want to stay in M&M afterward, I would highly recommend RBC.

Think, for a moment, that you were reviewing resumes. Which would you want to see - a #1 group at a 4th tier bank or any group at a 2nd tier bank whose name you actually know. If, as a recruiter/hiring manager, you REALLY know your shit, you might go with option A, but I would feel safe in assuming that the recruiter/hiring manager does not know that much (unless it's a M&M focused firm).

 

depending on what you wanna do..if you wanna go M&M then BMO, RBC Tech SF is actually doing quite well. Have a buddy working in that group and there are a lot stuff going on.

Personally I don't like doing NA so I would go with tech, but it's all personal preference
