So I know the top shops in New York and Chicago, but at what point are experiences in NY and Chicago equivalent? Ex: UBS-Chicago versus Bear Stearns-NY, or JP Morgan-Chicago versus BofA-NY.

Also, for those that have worked in both Chicago and New York, can you talk about the major pros and cons of each.

Is it common for banks to require you to pay your own expenses if you are doing the study abroad interviews (I'm in Chicago and would have to go to New York)?

If so, are there any ways to get around this?

I talked with a few banks (both BB and MM) at info sessions and through contacts and asked to interview ahead of time because I will be studying abroad next semester. A few of them seemed pretty interested.

How long can I expect them to take before contacting me for an interview?

would it be stupid?

Would it be stupid to put a consulting group that I am working with during the school year on my resume if I am applying to I-banks?
