SG GS IBD or CS IBD?
Hi, was just wondering about everyone's thoughts between the 2 firms in the region. Understandably GS has a much stronger global brand, but the CS SEA franchise has historically been very strong in the region too.

Got a friend at GS SG, heard culture is quite good. That's all I know.
As unlikely as it might sound - CS SG is stronger / has better deal flow in the region, whereas GS' business has been affected by some negative publicity.
Do you have both offers or are still interviewing?
CS in SG YTD is #1 in terms of fee wallet. Deal flow is very high and unlike JPM for example that does the really big deals, CS does a lot more inbetween. So good experience all over. Also conversion in general is much better than GS from what I understand.

CS IB is quite strong in the region, arguably the best BB in fact. They have a large presence in Indonesia and significant deal flow there. You’ll work on a high volume of transactions, small and large both. As mentioned earlier, Goldman’s name in the region has taken a hit post the 1MDB scandal, and it’s a weaker name compared to CS.
How do you view exits to PE from the bulge brackets? Is one bank favoured a lot more than the other?

GS for the hours
CS for training your stamina
However, I would suggest GS + go home and practise modeling 1-2 hours a day if you are disciplined
.
Of course GS even if it's Singapore. I don't think anyone with these two offers on hand will take CS instead. Sure CS does more deals in the region, but you will likely have to spend a shit ton of time doing boring ass capital market & middle market sized deals. Take the GS name, which will carry for a long way, and spend the extra time preparing for your modeling tests.
