RBC.

However, I'd wouldn't be so nonchalant about which industry you go into...this is one of those topics that deserves attention. Don't enter IB lightly.

"They are all former investment bankers that were laid off in the economic collapse that Nancy Pelosi caused. They have no marketable skills, but by God they work hard."
 
BoothorbustCapital Markets =/= Investment Banking

RBC Capital Markets is the name of the firm. He said "IBD" so this is a banking offer or the OP referenced it incorrectly...

OP - if you were to start in banking at RBC you could lateral to any of the other options fairly easily. If you don't have a strong desire to do any of the other jobs at this point, starting in banking would be the best move in terms of optionality.
