So in the current situation and taking all things into consideration (pay, exit opps, prestige, lifestyle, etc) would you take McK or MS M&A (both NYC)?

i'm in college, but dude, MS M&A.
Morgan Stanley-#1. Best Firm to work at for Normal, non-dysfunctional people.
MS, simply the best
I have no bias towards either; I would choose MS, although Mck very reputable as well. Do you have these offers? if so, congrats.
MS M&A is one of the best groups on the street, but from what I have heard you will get rocked with very long hours. Also, I would say MS M&A has better exits opps into PE and hedge funds than McK. Really consider if you are more interested in finance vs. consulting.

This depends on whether you like consulting or banking. Both are great but you can't just compare them to each other since they're completely different. It's comparing apples to oranges.
