Having choice to join those two groups, which one you think is a better choice (focusing on: brand, exit options and group's future development on the street). Both in NY, Associate level. Note: deal flow is similar, people/fit also (especially that those are big groups).

They are probably about the same in terms of prestige and deal flow but I personally would choose CS in a heartbeat.
Well done. Both are great groups. CS M&A place more in PE from what I've seen though (although not sure about Associate and up obviously).
Citi.
Citi
From what I have seen (limited sample size, clearly), CS' M&A places more into the buy side while Citi tend to stay sell side in banking.
CS M&A
cs, check out their tier 1 capital ratio bro..
Citi - more established (historically), potential for top position (they already were there in 2008), stronger brand in the US and better strategy going forward (global bank with global resources)
