Citi has historically been the strongest of the three, though BAML is gaining steam. I would make the decision based on how well you think you'd do on group placement.
Didn't you just post on another thread that you're a junior who struck out in SA recruiting?
Is this even relevant? I'll be an SA at a BB this summer. Striking out means different things to different people, based on the standards you set for yourself.
I think there's a thread with very similar/same firms from a few days back. But yes I would go with one where you like the people the best as they are all mid tier.
lol Citi and BAML= striking out, get your head out of the sand bro
Interviewed at 4 BBs in NYC this summer, 0 offers. I call that striking out. Anyways, let's keep this relevant, goal is to help the OP.
BAML on average its groups > Citi's
Does anyone else have any insight please????
If you think you have any chance at placing into a LevFin, M&A, or sponsors group at BAML I would take the shot - really strong groups, very cool guys, have placed very well in the last 3 years.
How is Citi historically stronger than BAML/stronger? Look at league tables...baml is so far ahead
league tables aren't everything, amateur.
