JPM HK or MS SG? Both for SA IBD
See title. Which offer would you take? MS is generalist/SEA coverage. Am considering recruiting FT for NY after SA.

Recruiting FT for NY is pretty much impossible coming out of either of these positions, given how difficult it is for NY BB SAs to recruit FT in NY.
Comes down to if you want more China/Korea deals or SEA deals, and if you speak/don't speak Chinese
Would the fact that HK is APAC HQ have any impact on either recruiting for FT NY or exit opps?
won't matter for NY recruiting; exit opps will be different, with HK leading to more China-centric opps and SG to opps in SEA, so what's "better" exit opps depends on what you want to do.
Another thing to keep in mind is that MS allows its analysts to rotate to NY in their 3rd year. This might also be the case with JPM but I'm not sure
Also, keep in mind that MS is much more "international" than JPM in Asia (especially their HK office, which is dominated by Mandarin speakers). So depending on what type of person you are, you might find one environment preferable to the other
How difficult would it be to lateral from SF BB (JPM) summer to same bank FT in NYC?
Unless you have a really good reason to not do so, I would pick JPM HK.
That's where I'm leaning since I feel like it would open up more doors and I like HK as a location better, but can you explain your own rationale? I feel like the MS SG people are much chiller so it's tough.
You've met only a couple from each bank in the interview process. Trust me, every bank has shitheads and chill people. Most people I know at JPM HK have no complaints about the culture so that's that. Only thing I've heard is that it's a little boring.
If you can get MS SG to change the offer to HK or give you a shot at interviewing there, THEN it would be tough, but right now the way I see it, it really isn't.
