-First couple posts will ask what city these offers are for.
-Several people will call into question whether or not BAML and JPM are generalist, as those guys normally place SAs into groups.
-Nobody will tell you to pick BAML. One asshole will tell you to take BAML Lev Fin, but that guy doesn't know how to read, since we have to assume generalist.
-Everyone else will be split between Greenhill and JPM. The Greenhill camp will tell you pure M&A is the best, they have a great culture, they have great exit ops and they're more exclusive. The JPM camp will tell you it has a more recognizable better brand name should you choose to leave banking/finance and they also have great exits.
-Couple random college kids will ask you when you interviewed/heard back.
-I'll make a random innuendo in the 12-18th comment range when the time is right, then tell you to pick Greenhill.
-Next year this thread will get bumped by a random class of 2015 kid during SA season. He didn't see this comment of mine and will ask you what you chose and why.

Haha great post. I agree with Nouveau that Greenhill is the best bet if you have generalist offers. There are some really quality groups at both JPM and BAML but there are also some groups that you could get placed in that won't get you the same exits as Greenhill M&A. Maybe see if you can leverage your other offers for group-specific offers at any of these banks. You'll also probably get better experience at GH. That said, it's also kind of a preference thing; there are pros and cons to BB's versus elite boutiques.

what cities r these for?
Are the BAML/JPM positions generalist? how confident are you in getting top groups?
I think its ultimately between Greenhill and JPM (no h8 BAML, levfin rocks), Greenhill if you want pure m&a and like the culture, JPM for BB brand name.
I interviewed with these firms too, when did you hear back?

wow this whole post is on point... nicely said
another vote for greenhill from me, but as Noveau Richie said, depends what you're looking for
WOW. nicely sad!
All are in New York. Placement into groups for both is based on a ranking system that takes place in March most likely.

Tnx man
I'd definitely do BAML LEV FIN!!!
Well it's down to two... and I'd pick Greenhill. M&A is the best... suckas.
LMAO very clever Nouveau Richie
is BAML even considered a BB, now since they have bought ML?
What????
i mean, ML had some badass MDs as well as respected analysts, BAML must be pretty strong now
still huge part of the bank is doing commercial lending business, do you consider it a BB bank now?
so how would you actually decide?
Greenhill
could you argue this is somewhat of a HYP vs. Williams/Amherst type decision?
I'm still waiting for the innuendo
More like in-her-endo, ammirite?
Srsly tho OP, you should take Greenhill.
