Given the recent heavy decline in UBS/DB and CS' death along with Barclays' layoffs, there's 4 new spots open for BB status that has been filled by JEF/RBC/BMO/BNP/HSBC since 2022-2023, IMHO.
I think these are the new rankings for BBs (and former BBs) based on a mix of deal flow, international prestige/perception and selectivity/exclusivity.
Tier 1.5. MS
Tier 2.5. Barclays/JEF/RBC
Tier 3. CS/WF/BMO
Tier 3.5. UBS/DB/BNP/HSBC

I knew this was a LowCaliberTalent production before I even clicked on this thread.
Life is short, youth is finite, and opportunities endless. Make sure you devote all your time to arguing with strangers about who works at the more prestigious bank.
- John Pierpont Morgan
“Nouveau” is the more prestigious way to spell it
I think this ranking is highly factual
Congrats on RBC
