URGENT - Wells Fargo NY/CHA vs. Raymond James CHI

Would love to hear thoughts on the differences in culture, deal flow, exits between the two banks. Raymond James would be in Chicago and Wells Fargo would be in Charlotte or New York. Group agnostic at this point. Need to make a decision ASAP, so any thoughts on either bank is much appreciated.

If it's the security & safety team at RJ Chi, I would've gone with that. RJ and HL are the only banks with security coverage groups, so they pitch against and win mandates over BBs often because of their expertise, which means you can work on some $1B+ deals. If it's the FIG side of RJ Chi then I would've went WF for sure.
