weighting offers: nbim vs blackrock in london

Does anyone have insight into equity summer analyst at BlackRock vs NBIM. I signed a summer intern contract with NBIM on Sunday, and received an offer for BlackRock as a summer intern on Monday. I am trying to weight the offers but I am not sure what to do.

i know that blackrock barely converts anyone especially for the research summers which is pathetic

source: asked people on linkedin amd you can just look at peoples profiles 

 

could you expand on what the difference between the two is? from the interviews I had, both BR and NBIM seemed to have a similar culture of putting emphasis on knowledge and sharing it, as well as a collaborative environment. so I was just wondering if you had anything else to say regarding the perceived differences?

 

Essentially BR is mainly a FI focused shop, same with Pimco and a few other AM houses, doesn’t mean they don’t invest in equities but this isn’t necessarily their bread and butter. Conversely, Fido, T Rowe etc are mainly known as equity houses, doesn’t mean they don’t invest in FI or are not prestigious but if I got an offer at PGIM FI Research or T Rowe FI Research, i’ll likely take PGIM as this is their bread and butter. Ultimately, my argument is if you get an offer in the area the firm is know for and strongest in then go to that firm over the prestigious firm that isn’t necessarily known for that particular asset class. That’s my two cents anyways
