Which SA position would you guys take in terms of deal flow and exit opps for PE / full-time banking? No need to consider the culture, as I like the people in both groups. Thanks!

Is Barclays in Houston or NY?
Sorry, both positions are in NYC!
Citi M&A
Another silly choices thread... do you want a career in energy/resources? Easy as that.
Oh boy you posted the best group at each bank and assume you will be put in it! Original.
instead of being unhelpful, i'll provide my 2 cents.
Citi m&a would be my choice... historically been strong and is respected on the street. not to say that barcap nat res isn't, but i feel Citi m&a is a slight bit better. can't go wrong with either though, both the strongest at both banks. comes down to the citi name vs the barcap name, and i believe the citi name is better for ibd
Citi
Barclays brand is growing and I think might have a slight edge on Citi at this point.
From what I've seen in previous years, both groups have been placing great, but Nat Res arguably has a slight edge (you can go to a MF with a specialization in the space). I'd personally take Citi M&A though, mostly cause I wouldn't be able to stand working on Nat Res shit for 2 years.
Why don't you pick the firm based on the people and fit instead of what people says here on this forum? There is absolutely no difference prestige or exit opportunities wise.
^^^ Uh, the guy did say that he liked people from both firms. Toss up for me. Leaning towards Barcap.
