Citi Top Group vs GS/MS/JPM
Hey so I wanted to know whether I should accept an offer from Citi, where I think I have a strong chance of getting into a top group (think M&A, Media & Comms, etc.) vs letting the time period for the offer elapse, and rolling the dice for GS/MS/JPM. I have strong connections at 2 out of those three top banks, but not to any particular group. How do people think top groups at Citi compare to average groups at the top 3. Is it worth letting the offer elapse to try to get into one of the other three? I'm diversity from a non target btw.
I would take citi...don't want to wind up with nothing
Haven't done this myself, but I'd argue the risk/reward of accepting and potentially reneging is better than the risk/reward of not taking it and just recruiting for other banks...
reneging is idiotic, have seen bright kids lose both offers due to this
Sometimes I honestly find the arrogance on this forum to be mindblowing - you're willing to let an offer at a super strong shop go just because you have "strong connections" at two of the other three banks? Have you even locked down a superday yet? Or even had a first round? Sounds like a no given your framing of "to try to get into" the other firms.
Maybe you're overinflating your changes of getting into a "top group" as well, but come on man - a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush is a saying for a reason. Especially coming from a non-target...
You would be insane to turn down Citi
Just take Citi. Top group at Citi will get you anywhere you want to be in PE or otherwise (excluding the handful of places that are like “GS or GTFO”). You might strike out completely at the others, or maybe you’ll place into a weaker group, or maybe you end up working with a bunch of assholes.
even MF PE?
Going from GS/MS/JPM to a MF next week, just take Citi as your outcome will largely be the same if interested in exits.
weird flex, but ok
Take Citi.
Take Citi. There's absolutely no guarantee you'll get GS/MS/JPM unless your connection is that your parent is an MD or the like. Even then, there's no guarantee you'll get it
Non-target diversity here, I was in basically your exact same situation a few weeks ago, feel free to PM
You’re a non-target. Lucky to be where you are. Take the offer before you roll the dice and potentially strike out
