DB vs Stifel SA 2025

Offer for Summer 2025 IB at Stifel expires Friday at 5 pm. Considering the options between Stifel and Deutsche, any advice welcome. DB is much bigger but Stifel seems to have a unique culture I fit well with.  

 

both new york, I am more connected and really like the people at DB but it has a more youre just another piece of the machine vibe

 

Depends who you liked more honestly, solid prestige/exit ops edge to DB but not worth being with people you like less

 

thats how I am feeling, would probably get more deal exposure / its a little more hands on at stifel cause smaller bank and interns take on more responsibility, but DB has the bulge bracket name. Thinking about return offer % too

 

You’re a washu sophomore. Don’t listen to this guy. Hasn’t even worked a SA yet, but is spreading false info about exit opps and ‘prestige’

 

holy dickriding, sorry that level of prestige and exit opps at most places are kind of common knowledge at this point. get back on the desk

 

Slight is an understatement. DB is historically a BB and although it has failed in terms of deal flow it still has more deal flow than Stifel. I think if it was DB vs a top MM like Jefferies or RBC maybe there would be a debate, but no way to say Stifel and DB have only a slight difference. 

 

it is a complicated situation, for my school they can run accelerated rounds for competing offer kids. This is from what was explained to me, might be wrong
