LB BankerWhy would you do DB over LB? That's a dumb move.

If you got S&T, do that.

The world has changed. And we must change with it.

i don't see how its a dumb move - and I don't work for either firm.

they're both good firms with good reputations - and don't try and use league tables to justify a decision

 

Yeah I would definitely choose the group the group you would enjoy working with most.

Banking > VC > Tech PE; PM me if you would like any advice I'm happy to help
 
agreed you'll be spending 99% of the day with these people, so you choose a group with which you clicked the most
