In short, it basically depends on what specific desk/product you are looking at - did you have a specific one in mind? Some banks are great at some products and terrible at others. Also, people move around which means that strengths and reputations of the banks change over time. Sure, there may be some bank which objectively has the highest sum of P&Ls comparatively, but that would only matter if you were a senior person running the business.
For comp? Prestige? Culture? WLB? Gotta say what the list means pal
Prestige.
Prestige/quality of intern hires wise it's gotta be gs-ms-jpm-citi-bofa-barclays-db in that order
jpm beats out ms for S&T any day of the week
Being blunt here:
Ranking based on product/desk strength is fine, and it would've been helpful especially when I was applying, but if you're going to rank whole banks by prestige for S&T, get the hell out of here.
