Hey guys!
I learned a lot from your expertise and now I need help again to choose my offers:
NY IBD MM (RBC, HL) VS HK IBD BB(JPM, CITI)
Or make it simple:
top MM NY vs JPM Hong Kong
Language is not a problem and both are Summer IBD analyst positions.
Dont know which group yet.
Please give me some suggestions which one is good for my future career in banking (no plan for PE).
I love you all!





Congrats on your offers, the
Congrats on your offers, the primary factor in your decision process should be where do you want to live after graduation? Both RBC and JPM are solid banks so your decision should come down to where you want to be.
JPM. HK is amazing.

i think it comes down to a choice of where you'd like to be in the long run
lifestyle in HK can be drastically different from that in NYC

fuck rbc...its more like HL vs. jpm HK. decide where you want to spend the summer (and potentially the next 2-3 years post grad). HK will look bad ass on b-school apps.

HK Top BBs (like JPM) is
HK Top BBs (like JPM) is comparable to top BBs in NYC. Therefore, if you believe that Top NY BB is better than NY MMs, the choice would be simple...
Again, thank you so much for
Again, thank you so much for your advice. I will have to make a decision in the next 38 hours. Any more ideas!?

Hey congrats on the offers.
If you're staying in the US, I would not rule out RBC as others have suggested. They're a very solid shop with a very strong balance sheet. They are also growing very aggressively and rapidly.
Their bonus pool actually increased. I know quite a few people there from HR to analysts to MDs.
Best of luck with your choice. It's a great problem to have.
thanks again
thanks again
When in doubt..NY over all

I think the HK offer would
I think the HK offer would give you more options down the line when it comes time for FT. I would think the BB name would have more weight for FT. Seriously, how much does a SA do anyway, I doubt the experiences would really be that different. Just my thought though, I'm only starting my SA this summer as well.
Don't really know what the big deal about NY is besides it being NY. HK and NY both offer similar pay (HK probably slightly better due to tax), both are world cities, and both are in IBD. If you are Asian, might be a cool idea to go to HK and be the majority for once. I also think the growth potential of Asia make HK the more interesting path, though more risky. Your call.
