In terms of exit and PE recruiting, A2A offers, comp, etc. is it better to be an average analyst in a top group of a bank or a top analyst in an average group at the same bank?

Top analyst, ok group for sure. You'll be given more responsibility and exposure to the deal process when it's A2A or PE recruiting time. Better talking points
In terms of comp and A2A better to be a top analyst in whatever group it is. In terms of exits / PE, group makes a pretty big difference. Average guy in MS M&A is still getting plenty of more buyside looks than the best guy on the FIG team
Top analyst in an average group. Focus more on improving personal performance and more opportunities will come your way
Sounds like someone just got an offer from an Ok Group
If you're a first year planning on doing on-cycle, top group for sure. There's not enough time to even have analyst rankings.
