Have generalist offers for all three, trying to identify which to pick. Top groups at all three would be good, as a lot of information I keep finding is a little dated. Not necessarily looking to exit but would want to pick the firm that would give me the most options

Why UBS Will Die
One common criticism I hear on the street is UBS , the U've Been Sacked bank, or Ultra Bullshit Shit bank has a poor reputation.

Bottom I-Banking Gigs--Strictly Exit Opps to Nowhere
