I have Summer Analyst offers from UBS, CS, Lazard, and Citi. All are in New York City. Where should I go, considering that I want to land full-time in an M&A group with great exit opps?

lazard, hands down... its
lazard, hands down... its much more selective - and if you want M&A, this is it.
PLEASE DONT CHANGE EXCEL SHORTCUTS!!!
UBS
UBS, Lazard is not BB
and BB is better because..??
and BB is better because..??
BB is not generally better,
BB is not generally better, some aspects are better, e.g. the exit opportunities, just look at the HF/PE websites where the associates/senior associates come from...
i was under the impression
i was under the impression that exit opps at a top boutique like Lazard would be better. obviously excluding GS & MS.
lazard, not even close

All of the above are fine
All of the above are fine and will get you the same interviews.
UBS, CS, Citi do no have a guarantee into M&A.
UBS/CS/Citi will have ALOT more sponsor activity than Lazard.
Lazard will offer pure advisory services without offering leverage related advice.
If you look at 04 and 05 analyst placement all of the above placed well.

bb.MandA.3rdyear is right
These firms will all get you the same interviews for next year.
Whichever firm you work for, you'll be in a strong position to get a FT offer after the summer. So ask yourself, which of the four would you most like to work for full-time? This is the one I'd go with, since they will all put you on about equal footing in the FT interview process.
Lazard
Lazard. All my friends who've worked at UBS have been run into the ground for the entire summer--2 out of 3 didn't go back.
Re: Lazard
Didn't know banking was a lifestyle move.

Banking is
long hours everywhere (UBS, GS, Lazard, any other bank). If you're worrying about hours or lifestyle, you need to go into consulting.

Lazard's exit opps are the same as Citi, Credit Suisse, and UBS? Really? I always heard that Lazard's exit opps were really good - somewhat worse than the absolute top groups on the street (GS TMT, MS M&A, UBS LA) but on par with the other groups at GS and MS....
Lazard
