Hi all,
I'm a college senior, trying to decide between offers for full time Analyst at BofA and Deutsche. BofA ML is for generalist in their NY office. Deutsche is for tech in the San Francisco office, which is also Deutsche's headquarters for tech.
I would appreciate any insights or recommendations about culture, deal flow, exit opps, etc.
Thanks.

BOS-ML has better deal flow overall and is a bigger platform, but I'm not sure how good DB tech is, it might be great as far as I know...if you take a generalist offer there's always the chance you'll end up in CapEm or public finance...
Thanks bigunit. Anyone else, please?
I will prefer BOA-ML with Ken retiring thing looks brighter
BAML NY is far superior to DB west coast unless of course your have some burning desire to work in tech banking and tech after banking otherwise the generalist role in NY seems to be a better option
I'm pretty sure BoA ML doesn't have generalists...
It's a generalist offer not generalist role. Meaning he won't know which group he gets assigned to until later in the process (i.e. a few weeks before starting or after training, etc.)
alright, BofA superdays were group specific, so how does someone get a generalist offer?
I don't know, I guess they can still give out generalist offers and decide exactly where to place you later on?
how many people spell DB incorrectly on their resumes? I 'd love to have that stat (I know of 2 people, a clown from my b-school who did it and the kid who started this post)
Unless you have an avid interest in tech, go with BAML.
Also, don't you think what city you're living in should factor in to this? Have ties to the west coast?
^^ I'd chose SF over NYC any day of the week.
