BarCap equity research or Credit Suisse ECM ???

Hi guys,

I am facing a tough choice rite now.

Which one should I choose? an offer from BarCap equity research or Credit Suisse ECM.

I am thinking that equity research might have a wider choice in future career while less pay than ECM. For the one from CS, hmm...it isn't IBD anyway....

Anyone knows the package of ECM? Is it the same with IBD in terms of allowance and bonus?

Thank you so much and I am waiting to hear your advice !!!

two very different offers--also, dont make 3 fucking threads on one topic.

which do you prefer? the work will be pretty different, as the divisions are completely different. it really comes down to what youre more interested in...i think starting pay will be pretty standardized, but tbh i have no idea how different the bonus structure would be between the two.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
