Informative IB Rankings for Recruiting

Again, not a dick measuring contest, just some purely informative insight. Pls don't throw monkey shit if I offended you, this is just my opinion of course.

Also, choosing a bank shouldn't just be based on theseWSOtiers. Obviously someone will chooseGSoverDB, but the lines between many of these tiers can be very blurred. Choosing only based onWSOperceived prestige instead of culture/comp/etc can be a dangerous game.
Yeah I'm with you, I feel like in theEBspace especially the lines are blurred.
This is inaccurate. Please for the love of god do not listen to this post-it's going to be group dependent and situation dependent. Only undergrads and insecure kids who hate their job rank banks.
Eh…honestly I've seen worse rankings/tiers than this onWSO. Not to say its 100% accurate obviously but still
This is stupid
Where do you seeRBChere? Can you help me out? Not trying to dog them, but these rankings threads are so stupid...WSOsentiment does not matter.
It legitimately makes no sense…I think it's because they were T10 in tables one year from some large lead left or something. Not there subsequently, but still hyped up.
Google investment banking league tables…there are a few different ones
Bairdis missing and HL is too high. Should have a tier II of middle-market which is Blair /Baird/ HL and then throw everyone else in tier III.
HW and Piper are tweeners. Not quite as good as Tier II but clearly above the other Tier III.
