What are the best banks in Asia right now for IBD? Is UBS done for due to the ongoing investigation? Is GS shit after cutting bankers left and right?
Regarding Singapore, it seems like CS is the biggest for IBD in the street, but would that make you take CS SG over GS/MS/JPM SG?
Have a few offers and interviews across the region so would appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Has Asia given out offers yet? I wasn't aware that many had.
A small number of offers have been given out for accelerated recruiting or US target school candidates
Bump
Believe it or not, the same rankings apply across the world and regardless of what anyone says, these have been fairly stable. Put in buckets if you wish, the outcome is the same (Tier 1- GS/MS/JPM, etc.)
There are exceptions though - good example would be Rothschild in Europe vs Rothschild in US
Don't know enough about the Asia scene to respond to OP's question
OK, if you really want to go that deep into detail, there may be minor differences and we could probably create very granular rankings based on different locations, however, there is a perceived "universal" ranking.
THIS.
Apart from very few places that heavily focus on certain regions such as Rothschild.
I don't necessarily agree. JPM's presence is much, much weaker in Asia
To answer OP's question, I'd rank the BBs in Asia in roughly 3 tiers: Tier 1: GS/MS Tier 2: JPM/Citi/BAML/CS/UBS Tier 3: DB/Barclays
Yeah maybe, their analysts still make the jump to Blackstone, Canada Pension Plan, Silver Lake, etc.
One of Tier 1's BB SEA country head told me this: If you want to have prestige, go follow the tiers / league table If you want to avoid being cut & have good deal flow - CS would be the best
Take it with a grain of salt :)
