RBC > TD > BMO. RBC has seen a lot of great deal flow recently. Great training program and exits with a phenomenal culture. From what I've been seeing in the space, TD has inched above BMO over the past few years. Deal flow at BMO isn't quite there after HR has been cracking down on the "stress relieving" practices of a few of their MDs.

 

This is wrong.

BMO’s M&M and FIG groups are A1 and by extension BMO’s M&A group does well too.

BMO is the runner-up to RBC. TD culturally wins, and I know some satellite offices do well (eg. TD is crushing it in Montreal whereas BMO is lacking there), but BMO is still the better bank for deal flow.

Perhaps if your ranking is from a U.S. lens, yes, but in Canada, no.

 

Get off this forum with your trolling and jokes. I work in the LevFin group and there is nothing but exceptional talent over here. Send kids to solid credit shops every year who make more money than your entire family lineage.
