I know this question has been partially answered on before, but I Have a different spin on the question. Top boutqiues (Evercore, Greenhill) vs top bulge brackets (GS, MS but not on top teams).... which is the smarter choice in the current markets?

Well, I am half way thru my investment banking internship in London. I am loving the firm but just not sure if IBD is for me. Does anyone know if its common or even possible to be able to switch divisions into asset management? I know that the Sales and Trading move has been discussed but I would love to hear peoples thoughts on this.

I have a quick question for everyone here. If you do your summer internship at a BB in one city (say London) is it possible to take a fulltime offer with that bank in another city (say NY or Dubai).

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on or experience with the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst programme? I think that some of the material looks kind of interesting. Not sure if it is comparable to the CFA in terms of material/recognition.

I am thinking of applying to a graduate programme that requires the submission of EITHER the GMAT or the GRE. Any thoughts on which one would be easier to take.
