&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Since last fall, when &lt;span&gt;Lehman Brothers&lt;/span&gt; went&amp;nbsp;bankrupt and &lt;span&gt;Bank of America&lt;/span&gt; infamously swallowed &lt;span&gt;Merrill Lynch&lt;/span&gt;, big swinging bankers across the Atlantic have been jumping ship in record numbers. This week, the &lt;i&gt;Financial Times&lt;/i&gt; published a telling &lt;span&gt;graphic&lt;/span&gt; detailing where bankers have jumped from and to, underscoring which firms are killing it and which firms are getting killed. Here&#39;s a summary of &lt;i&gt;FT&lt;/i&gt;&#39;s findings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Rothschild&lt;/span&gt;: +9 (gained 9 bankers, lost 0) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Deutsche Bank&lt;/span&gt;: +9 (gained 12, lost 4) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Citi&lt;/span&gt;: +8 (gained 11, lost 3) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Credit Suisse&lt;/span&gt;: +5 (gained 6, lost 1) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Lazard&lt;/span&gt;: +4 (gained 4, lost 0) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Goldman Sachs&lt;/span&gt;: +3 (gained 5, lost 2) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Morgan Stanley&lt;/span&gt;: -2 (gained 1, lost 3) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;UBS&lt;/span&gt;: -6 (gained 0, lost 6) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;BofA: -10 (gained 0, lost 10) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Nomura&lt;/span&gt;/Lehman: -16 (gained 5, lost 21)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Aside from Citi&#39;s positive numbers, which are slightly surprising given the bank&#39;s poor publicity as of late (though it should be pointed out that it did nab the No. 3 spot in global announced as well as European announced M&amp;amp;A deals in the first quarter 2009), the plus/minus figures of the rest of the pack come as no&amp;nbsp;large surprise. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Rothschild and Lazard, both advisory and asset management firms without major trading operations, have largely avoided the mess wreaking havoc on the rest of the investment banking industry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;And Deutsche and Credit Suisse, while hurting,&amp;nbsp;have been able to largely sidestep the&amp;nbsp;neck-deep losses and bad press, unlike UBS (torn apart by big bad bets and tax scheme scandals), BofA (it&#39;s been well publicized that many former Merrill insiders have not been happy with their new parent and, as a result, have been heading for the hills) and Nomura/Lehman (which has also been receiving tons of bad&amp;nbsp;PR due&amp;nbsp;to its inability to successfully integrate the Brothers, causing some employees to leave the banking business altogether).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
