Two offers, Barclays IB (general offer) or Evercore for SA. Both in NY. Which should I choose?
Any other insights as to exit opps/hours/work experience/culture?
Note: for exit opps I want to work for a HF, not a PE shop eventually.

Is Evercore general offer as well? I'd 100% go with Evercore, but that's just me.
For a HF, you need to work in M&A preferably, or an industry group that you are interested in (say Centaurus for energy). Any specific strategy that you wish to go after?
Evercore easily. Evercore is an elite boutique, barclays is a lower tier BB.
i either know someone who's in the exact same position, or you're her...
Well I'm a guy so probably not...
Probably Evercore.
Is it just me or for this recruiting season has everyone on WSO been really quick to choose an elite boutique over a bulge bracket?
I'd like to know what some of the responders are basing their advice on, especially since I know some of you do not work and most of you didn't answer any of the questions about pay, hours, culture, etc.- what a decision should be based on
WSO seems to be different. boutiques are better but in real life ppl usually pick bulge brackets for name. on WSo everyone loves boutiques.

What's your stance :)
Hours will be slightly better at BarCap. Pay is going to be 70 base, 10 sign on for both firms. Bonus might be more for Evercore, (usually it is) say 55k for BarCap and 60k for Evercore. The exit opps won't be much different, only depending on the group you're in. I'd say you'd get a better experience at Evercore knowing that there are less analysts and you aren't doing one specifc thing for each deal (comps, CIM, etc)
Personally, I like the idea of working at a bb during the summer to get an idea of the industry and you have a lot of kids your age to chill with, but then go to a boutique after for full time.
leveredarb the social aspect is actually pretty big, and having a class of 75+ makes it a lot better socially
