Bear NY or CS/GS energy?
I haven't secured all of these offers yet, but i'm looking for some advice and thoughts.
If I have 3 summer analyst offers, bear ny, cs houston, and gs houston, what would be the best option if my goal is to get the best ops for a fulltime in NY during fall fulltime recruiting?
cs is either the best or near the best in houston, goldman isn't near the top for energy.. but is the name more important than the performance of the office?
also.. any thoughts on strongest group in bear if I was to go that route?
thanks in advance.
how may times do people to have to state the obvious
gs>cs>bear
my question wasnt what firms are better on a general scale, its in regard to the specific offices and if that has as much or more importance as the brand name
id go new york
GS houston hasn't extended offers yet as far as i know, so i wouldn't be so sure that you got it cuz the competition for the 2/3 spots that they have this year is insane and their superday is two weeks from now
my friend worked for GS Energy last summer, busted his ass, and didn't get an offer. They only gave an offer to one of their summer interns. So it seems like they overhire. And, if you want to use GS as leverage to get to NYC, you won't be able to if you dont get an offer. He is now stuck in consulting
Well why didn't he just say that he got an offer? It's not like they'll call and check. You gotta work the system. ;)
I would go to Bear in NY.
Two reasons:
One: You are going to be hard pressed to move out of energy if you work in houston in enery specific groups Two: I believe that at Bear you get to choose what group to want to work it (generally top or second choice) which is good for two reasons: 1) you can pick to do something you are interested in (sounds obvious but I know alot of people that choose just on name/prestige and now are hating their lives and leaving the business) and 2) You won't be stuck in only one vertical as Bear is structured as Super Groups.
And what do you mean what are good groups, I think that this board throws around too many generalizations and it skews people's perception of the real world. Ya I know a bunch of people at all the big groups that this board throws around, GS TMT, JPM LevFin, etc...and the vast majority of them are not extremely happy with their experience. If I were you I would start the other way around and say, "What groups am I interested in" and "What culture can I most thrive in".
