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.

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.
