I'm inclined to think that this is a troll post given your username, but... Centerview for sure.
BARCLAYS FOR DA PRESTIGE
Centerview hands down...
Not a question anyone can answer but yourself. What are your goals? What do you want to do long-term? What did you think of the fit/culture between the two firms (and groups if applicable)? etc.
Pros of Centerview: Much higher compensation, both in base salary and bonus. Supposedly better and more chill culture. They want you to stay on long term so they don't try to wring you dry for 2 years and throw you away like at a BB. More M&A work. Also, Barclays has some extremely random groups that you can get placed in like Risk Solutions that have very little exit opps so if your Barcap offer is generalist, you could get screwed; at Centerview, your going to be doing M&A regardless of what you spend most of your time on. I'm pretty sure Centerview is generalist too?
Pros of Barclays: Potentially higher likelihood of exiting to the buyside (although this ends up being controversial in Centerview threads). More name recognition depending on the circle of people you're in (although this really shouldn't be a factor, imo, but people do take it into account). If you're super interested in industries other than Consumer/Retail/Healthcare/etc that Centerview specializes in, Barcap may be a good choice too. Also, in the industry groups at Barcap, you get exposure to products other than M&A at Barcap too, like lev fin, IPOs, etc which can make you more rounded in that sense.
Centerview without any doubt.
