RBC vs Tobin & Co.

Currently have SA offers from RBC (NYC) and Tobin & Co (Charlotte). Heavily leaning toward Tobin & Co. considering the prestige and solid PE exits over the past few years. Worried that I won't be able to recruit to PE from RBC given its bottom rankings. Have heard good things about the culture though at RBC, so taking that into consideration.

Thanks and much appreciated!

 

I know this is a joke but you should really make fun of another bank like DB. RBC has been consistently climbing the league tables and have the same deal exposure as mid BB like Barclays and Citi, with a much leaner team and better culture. So nice try with that

 
Controversial

Sure, I work for RBC. Doesn't change the fact that it's been memed on this site forever when it really should be just as respected as BAML, Barclays, etc. I agree we're not there yet with GS/MS but give it a few years and you will eat your words.

I hate how some banks just because they're not officially a "bulge bracket" means it's not good. RBC is better than half of the BB at this point just based on deal flow alone.

 

Nothing they said was wrong. All this information/deals/comp/exits, etc. is all public so there's no point arguing over it. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I'm sure CS/Barc or wherever you may be are all fine places you can thrive and have great future career there. If RBC is so bad, then I guess you don't have to worry about it and can treat it just like UBS, DB, Wells which happens to occupy no attention in your mind, right? Or is there something you fear?

 

Notice this same guy is replying to EVERY positive rbc comment here. He changed his name from “Anlayst 1 M&A” to Analyst 1 Industry. Give it up already you’ve been at this for weeks. We throw every fact, league table, deal, comp data, exit data, new seniors, etc. and you clearly pretend nothing of substance was said and go on some strange rant. Give it up, things change and one rejection won’t break you. Good luck

 

Did RBC blow up? Is that why people are shitting on the firm? I told everyone that RBC isn't going to be the next BB as MDs are being bought by other banks. Got monkey shat for that by clueless "semi-target" grads SMH

What concert costs 45 cents? 50 Cent feat. Nickelback.
 

RBC is already widely accepted as a mid/upper-tier BB across the street. RBC has been the ones buying MDs from other banks like BAML and JP, especially in ECM. Do your research kid

 

Mid-upper tier? What a joke. You are the bottom of the bottom BB, if you can consider yourself a BB

 

Relax buddy. No need to get worked up over stuff like this. Just get shit done and enjoy RBC. You clearly appreciate it so don’t waste time thinking about these rankings. Do you think the heavy hitters in our industry give a shit about a WSO thread ranking? It honestly just gives a bad picture of RBC that interns have to argue to “protect” the brand. Just let these guys talk shit if they want to.

 

Another old guys living in 2015 or whatever. Please name which MDs are getting bought because it's quite literally the opposite. If you want to hate on RBC go ahead and do it because they're not growing their talent within organically, but to act like they haven't been poaching the heads of DB, UBS, Moelis, Goldman, etc. over the last few years is embarrassing

 

Exactly. No one's joining RBC. In fact, they shafted their associates so badly most are leaving... Good for analysts to get A to A, since they have bleak PE hopes

 

Is Tobin and Co really sweatshop ? (Considering it’s unpaid)

 

RBC can have more deal flow but not be on the league tables 10 MM sized deals would be more deal flow and different exposure compared to 1 BB sized deal.
