Citi M&A vs. CS M&A

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).

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)
