RANKINGS & COMPARISONS

Group dependent

Barclays. Similar if not better exit opps, better brand if you leave banking, & more alumni on street. Same reasons for CS over Gugg, but not DB, UBS, RBC, or Jeff (I would take gugg over those last 4).

I'd take gugg. From the people I've spoken to at gugg and Barclays, gugg has better hours/culture in most groups with similar-better exit opps

Also it depends on what you're interested in- gugg is much better for hc and tmt while Barclays is the god of power/nat res

group dependent

Nothing like being left lead on the life insurance advisory mandate!

Bump

CS and RBC are definitely better. JEFF is MM but still more desirable than UBS.

CS >>>>>>>>>>>>> UBS > JEFF > RBC UBS still has legacy exit opportunities and Jefferies is more established than RBC

I had offers at RBC (capital markets not ibd), UBS and JEFF. Chose UBS and it wasn't a hard choice. If it was RBC IBD I would have thought about it more but still probably would have gone to UBS due to brand name. RBC does have great culture though. CS above all 3.

That is such a bad take it's unbelievable also you used the wrong chart btw try again. BoFA at the bottom worse than UBS? Lmao cmon try harder

Lol am i missing something here or is market share for last year totaling well above 100%?

This isn't that accurate. Remember a larger size deal means there is more meaningless work as an analyst so the quality of what you are doing may not be good. You need to factor in # of deals as well as average deal size.

This isn't bad I think

we’re gonna hear endless debates about RBC, UBS, DB and NWM until then

I would suggest the North Korean method....

Top MM banks are Rothschild (maybe EB?), Jefferies, HL, RBC, William Blair / Baird

Couldn't go wrong either way, depends on your interests. I'd choose PJT in a heartbeat but I prefer the EB model to the BB one, and I think RX is an incredibly interesting space.

if you want an exit in finance PJT might give you a slight but GS TMT wins outside of finance for sure
