I'd hit MS
I've heard of really, really, solid exits from MS chicago, better than Barcap NY I think. The Chicago office is well known to be a sweatshop though.

MS Chicago. If u receive a F/T offer you can always leverage that for NY.
MS Chicago hands down. Much smaller analyst class, and very good exits.
MS Chicago hands down
Does MS Chicago focus on MM transactions like the JPM Chicago office? Just curious.
JPM IBD Chicago doesn't do MM deals... they do a lot of auto and have been doing incredibly well lately.
Also, I have heard not so good reviews of MS Chicago, mostly regarding culture.
MS in Chicago. No question about it. If you work hard and get the FT offer, you can always leverage it to land in NY if that's what you really want.

It sounds like most people above are misinformed. While there have been a select one or two megafund exits from MS Chicago in the past few years, they are at best on-par with and at worst well below the likes of CS/Citi/JPM. There is a serious deal flow question in the MS office, which is not surprising for an office that takes on about 4-5 analysts, 2-3 SA's. (For comparison, the other BB's are usually taking 6-10 SA's)
Obviously, their culture is a huge factor when the office is so small--and as mentioned above, it is purported to be terrible. I have a friend there that regularly complains about the people there, from the top down.
In short, Chicago=/=NY. While the brand name of MS may sound hard to pass up to all the NY people here, the Chicago offices are a totally different beast than NY. Eric, reach out to people in MS's office if you want to learn more, because there is a lot of misinformation on this site.
What is your credibility exactly? One of my close friends left MS Chicago last year. I know the exits there very well. Last year there were 3 Megafunds (the two top Chicago shops and one of the top NY/Boston Shops), 1 MM (SF). They've sent ppl in the last few years to KKR, MDP, GTCR, Silverlake, TPG, etc. That's with 4 analysts a year. I'd think that rate is much better than an average Barcap NY group, probably better than any Barcap group outside of Houston.
Not going to disagree on culture, that place is real serious sweatshop. Facetime might be dead in much of Wall Street, but it's not at MS Chicago.
