Best Response

Preempting all the other responses here: -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.
