Keybanc or Citi equity research?

Can people comment on which position is better in terms of prestige, quality of experience, exit opportunities, etc.:

KeyBanc Capital Markets equity research associate covering the energy sector
or
Citi Investment Research equity research associate covering the REIT sector

Thank you in advance for your insight.

^^ Agree with the above statement but when it's between a BB and a MM firm that has no reputation for research, take the BB gig 99% of the time. I have a hard time believing the Keybanc analyst will be reputable given that he's at Keybanc. Obviously do you due dilligence on both analysts but you'll find out that the Citi opportunity will be much better in terms of pay and prestige.
