BAML C&R vs Healthcare

Hello fellow monkies,

I'm a regular here but I made a throwaway for anonymity. I am a sophomore from a non-target who was able to secure an offer from BAML this summer I am trying to make my decision.

C&R: Arguably one BAML's best group. the team seems relaxed but also a little too weird. I have mild interest in c&r but I am well versed in the industry

Healthcare: They seemed friendly but I heard that HC is not what it used to be at BAML. I love the hc services and biotech space.

Also looking at E&P but heard they are not a top group and have lousy deal flow.

I want to get a return offer and also be in a good "fit" group, while getting some good modeling experience because some BAML groups outsource that to M&A team

Any help is appreciated

 

That's interesting. I am leaning towards C&R are the hours brutal? I felt like the guys in that group were really feminine probably because of the fact that the group has a lot of women...But I am impressed by BAML's reputation in c&r

Thanks anymore responses and insights appreciated! Any stories or anecdotes that are true are welcome

 

What industry do you like more? This is the stepping stone to your industry focus, just keep that in mind. When you recruit for PE, hedge funds, corp dev, etc. after full-time, the industry focus will come into play. IMO, healthcare has better post-banking opps, but is more boring than C&R.
