BAML London vs. GS HK (IBD SA)

Offer to choose: BAML London vs. GS HK, both are IBD SA offers

Background: Asian female. Personally I prefer European life style, but heard that career ceiling is low for Asian people in London. 

How do you think of this situation? Thanks a lot.

BAML London - at the end of the day you’re going to be doing more complex deals in London and you will find it extremely easy to move to HK down the line if you want to. Going from HK to London is much much harder. You’ll get more ‘respect’ coming out of two years in London than HK and you prefer living in London anyways.
