Mesirow vs UBS vs Wells Fargo vs HSBC vs BMO

I have offers and interviews at these firms for next summer and would appreciate some help ranking them in terms of exit opps, prestige, comp, B-school placement, and culture.

  1. UBS
  2. Wells Fargo
  3. BMO

Those should be your top three. UBS is better than Wells and Wells is slightly better than BMO. If I were at Wells I'd probably try and lateral after a year, if I were at BMO I would definitely try to lateral after a years. Whereas I'd only consider leaving UBS if I didn't like it there for whatever reason. The other two, HSBC and Mesirow, are significantly lower than the other three.
