Hey everyone,

I recently received an offer from bofa's ECM NYC team and DB's SF Tech coverage team. Which one would you take and why? I am from the Bay Area so I kinda wanna get away from

If you want to do IB or exit into buy side roles go banking every time. Roles are VERY different (I’ve worked in both). ECM is very niche skill set and hard truth is you’re not a super valuable candidate for traditional buy side exits. It may seem easy to go for the better brand of BofA but if your goals are to build skills and exit DB tech is much better than BofA ECM
 

idk how much you’re considering NY vs SF but think SF is super underrated
