SA Offers for HF Route

3 SA offers all for NY:

1) Top BB for ER
2) MM IBD - small recognized firm (~50 employees) with ex-Merrill guys.
3) International bank (BNP, SocGen, HSBC etc. ) - IBD related

My goal is to end up at a hedge fund in a few years down the road, have no interest in PE. Which would be a better offer to take for an SA stint? I am not sure if IBD would be better for HF route either way. Also, which would be a good offer for keeping my options open for FT recruiting?

 
The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
