Any thoughts on DB/Barclays/HSBC in Hong Kong for SA?

Hi fellow monkeys & kings of the jungle,

Long time reader & first time poster. I am deciding between Deutsche/Barclays/HSBC in Hong Kong for a summer internship. Wonder if you got any thoughts/advice on which bank to go to? Mostly concerned about return offer rate and exit opps. Can somebody shed some light? Thanks guys

I'm a Rates trader, so wouldn't want to share inaccurate information on IB.

That said, a solid group with a good deal flow would probably be more useful than "prestige" of a bigger brand with little deal flow/exposure in your office (remote desk-> assuming slower deal flow). As to Exit opps, it really depends on where (geographically) you are looking to be located post-analyst. Staying in AsPac, HSBC would be considered a good start, BarCap/Deutsche may position you well for a transition to Europe.
