Citi IB vs MS IB vs BAML IB vs GS S&T

A little background — nontarget state school, sophomore PE internship. Have the above offers and am trying to make a beneficial decision for next summer. The S&T offer is interesting to me due to the more social nature of the job but I'm scared it's kind of a dying industry. Citi offer is basically direct into one of their larger groups. Any advice is appreciated.

 

Think fit is very important. Suggest you first decide whether you want to do IB or S&T, if IB then talk to people from those banks (I think you can tell HR/banker that you are deciding among offers and would like to know the bank better by talking to their bankers). You will probably feel which group of people you feel more comfortable with after talking to a number of them.

 

I would take GS S&T since it is such a unique job and you said you find it interesting. Also, I know people who have started off in GS S&T and have moved to GS IBD, so you shouldn't feel pigeonholed by choosing S&T.
