forget about prestige, I think it all comes down to which sector you're most interested in.
Assuming I am equally interested in both sectors. I understand that Citi has lost its prestige and Keybanc is very middle market (and I didn't even know they had equity research until I saw the job posting). Which is the better opportunity?
Citi has lost its prestige on this board. BB is still BB
For ER you want to see how the analysts are ranked, and what their general reputation is
^^ 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.
Is the Key Banc position going to be out of Ohio or NYC?
is there a difference in pay?
really?
Keybanc is out of NYC. From the interviews, the analysts at Key were much more intense - continuously talking about how I will be working my ass off, 3 hours of sleep a night, 3 out of 4 full weekends a month.
Which sector has better exit opportunities if I were looking to end up at a hedge fund some day? Oil/Gas exploration and production or REITs?
