At the end of the day what matters is exit ops, start using linkedin to see where BMO and Sagent analysts end up after 2 years.
Ceteris paribus, I would take Sagent over BMO by virtue of it being in NYC.
have spoken with a few people from BMO who mentioned that previous analysts from chicago have moved onto HBS and also to small venture capital shops in the midwest (not chicago). Don't know anything about sagent, but those are two particular paths that 2 analysts have taken.
hopefully it helps
In terms of exit, I know that BMO analysts have gone on to MM PE funds, debt investing funds (i.e. SBCs, think Prospect Capital), FoFs, and VCs not just in the Midwest but also west coast.
