Great choice to make, but I have to do it in the next couple of hours. I visited both places yesterday but was wondering if anyone else had any additional advice/suggestions:
I'm interested in FI, BarCap says they really want me to come, am close with one senior person. People are awesome at both places, BarCap is pushing the next top bank after Lehman idea which definitely is true to some extent, and CS is pushing the already awesome at FI idea. After visiting, to me its a complete toss up.
Thoughts?

yes barcap has strong FI than
yes barcap has strong FI than cs.
but you do 3 rotations at barcap, and get offer from one rotation. frankly, most ppl in barcap S&T will try hard to get all 3 rotations to be FI (or 2 out of 3).
if you are the unlucky one, you may not be able to get rotation with the top FI desk you want, and could end up in equity side of things (such as prime). it is fine if you like equity.
CS is FI for sure...guaranteed.
but you DO have a strong contact at barcap, that will help.
