Citadel CAP or GS C&R

Fortunate to have recieved offers from both Citadel and Goldman (Consumer and Retail group) for Summer 2024. Long-term goal is purely to maximize how much money I make. Leaning towards Citadel but would love to hear other opinions. 

If GS I would likely follow traditional 2+2+2 route, hopefully SM at some point.

as someone going to a BB this summer, absolutely wish i was smart enough to go to citadel. PM placement is super important and variable, but so is on-cycle for PE, and so is the market with regard to how many of those SMs are hiring/profitable especially after capital lockups expire. If you’re at Citadel, there’s rlly only the risk of PM placement and then the rest is mostly quantifiable performance and is up to you.
