No idea why this guy got monkey shit. Its the complete truth. The decision should be Citi vs. Barclays, not one group vs. another. Almost every incoming SA will have those groups as their top choices, most likely. Being familiar with each bank's process, unless there is an exception, I am pretty sure it is a generalist offer.

instead of being unhelpful, i'll provide my 2 cents.

Citi m&a would be my choice... historically been strong and is respected on the street. not to say that barcap nat res isn't, but i feel Citi m&a is a slight bit better. can't go wrong with either though, both the strongest at both banks. comes down to the citi name vs the barcap name, and i believe the citi name is better for ibd

 

Barclays brand is growing and I think might have a slight edge on Citi at this point.

From what I've seen in previous years, both groups have been placing great, but Nat Res arguably has a slight edge (you can go to a MF with a specialization in the space). I'd personally take Citi M&A though, mostly cause I wouldn't be able to stand working on Nat Res shit for 2 years.
