2 Questions For Someone Considering Summer Options

1) For Summer Analyst stints in New York does general firm prestige matter within the non-MS/GS bulge? That is, are your opportunities full time (if you wanted to switch firms or apply to PE out of undergrad or get into MS/GS or consulting or whatever) really effected by this -- example would be choosing between ML and DB, or Lehman and CS. Would your options be worse choosing a "less prestigious" firm like DB or CS because of fit?

2) If you turn down a summer analyst stint at one firm to go to another how badly have you burned your bridges? Should you assume not to be given an offer again to go there fulltime or perhaps later on down the line if you turned down a summer offer?

a friend of mine turned down a summer offer, didn't get return offer from the firm he interned but he managed to get a full time offer from the bank he turned down. so i guess it's still possible.
