There needs to be a rule about people asking what offer they should take before even interviewing with any of the firms.

 

Agree with above that this is completely silly, and people should just use the search bar. Regardless, Goldman will tell you if you have a superday in classic or financing (cap markets side), so less worry there. Group is obviously important, still.

As for which to choose if you had a superday and IF you even get an offer at both, if you can’t adequately assess the pros and cons of picking EVR vs GS based on the plethora of information everywhere on this site, there’s no hope for you.

I’ll give a less snarky answer—it depends on what you want to do.

The Goldman name gets you really far and almost certainly is a better move if you are trying to go international, move to a completely new industry, or potentially have a long term career in IB (due to exposure to different types of capital raises aside from just M&A), and there are also some Goldman exclusive opportunities.

Evercore I would argue would be less abusive, with less red tape, you’d get paid more, and learn more about M&A. Also, due to learning more about M&A it would likely be more conductive to going to a startup or dealing with growth companies, or doing buyouts.
 

Either way, your odds of getting an offer at one let alone both isn’t great. So this is a pretty sad exercise.

 

Never understood this. One extra year is not a huge deal. If you want buyside that badly just go right now or after one year in banking.

 

Hey guys,

Sorry for asking a very frequently asked question. I am currently a Sophomore in top high school in US and currently contemplating if I should be the President of United States or Prime Minister in a prestigious G10 countries (was born there).

I have an upcoming opportunity to holiday in either those two countries and I am beginning to contemplate this decision.

How's the culture in the white house?
