Citi or UBS probably
If you want IB long term then I would take PWP, but otherwise Citi if you are just thinking of doing a 2 year program.
Have no clue what Moelis is like in London but if I were to choose I would go with Citi especially if you have a top group there.
Guggenheim PWP Citi UBS Lincoln Moelis (only because Murica!)
Guggenheim over PWP and Citi? Come on now.
Perella

I'd say PWP as well, unless you want the impress your friends who are not following finance - then I'd say just go with Citi.
Citi PWP UBS
Would take Moelis over the latter two, but... Not a fan of London..
I second this. PWP is up-and-coming and a strong shop but not an elite boutique in the sense that they're top 15 in league tables and able to place well into the buyside. UBS is improving but still risky.
Plus, if you can get an offer from Citi (as I know they have a very high SA->FT conversion rate), you can leverage that to even better places (if that's what you want to do). I know people who have done Citi SA then gotten offers from Evercore, MS, GS, and etc.
Haven't worked at either bank, but:
Citi is a weak BB that's been in decline for the last few years. It has no advantage over PWP, whether you're talking compensation, buy-side exits (they've got former analysts currently at New Mountain, Fortress, Leonard Green...) corporate culture, whatever. And if you want to leverage your offer, PWP has the superior brand.
PWP
CONGRADS on all the offers!
People who are saying Citi are trolls. Take PWP>
PWP for sure -- their analysts do half restructuring and half M&A -- sets up well for the buy-side
I would say PWP > Citi > rest. The Perella kids I know turned down offers from JPM/MS and get to work on a lot of interesting projects while they're there. PWP also pays much higher than Citi. Also, Citi analysts haven't been doing phenomenally with buyside placement over the last couple cycles - even in the top groups.
