BofA or JPM IBD for Summer?

Hey fellow Monkeys, just asking what the title suggests, have an offer from JPM HK and BofA HK for 2023 Summer, both in IBD. First rotation in JPM would be ESG and BofA is more of a generalist pool, only asking because of return rate troubles (JPM 70%~ in a 14 man class vs 85% BofA for a 32 man class).

Would I be smart to take BofA for the higher return rate or would I regret not going to JP?

Return rates can fluctuate. Looking at historical rates isn't helpful. Where I interned, they historically had an 80-90% return rate. This year it was 40%. Go to wherever you think you'd learn the most, get the most exposure, and have the most fun. If you're a good, strong candidate, you'd get the return no matter what.
