Citi Sales & Trading vs. Deutsche Bank Investment Banking Summer Analyst

I was lucky enough to be extended an offer to Citi S&T and Deutsche Bank IBD, both in NY. In terms of culture and exit ops, which firm would be a stronger choice? I've traditionally wanted to do investment banking over S&T, but have heard that Citi's trading is fantastic.

that's definitely a hard one!

How serious are you about IB? You're a junior I'm assuming

As a sophomore, I'll be interning at Citi this summer in their rotation program in S&T and IB. You're def right, Citi's S&T is extremely strong

I don't know much about Deutsche, but from the few networking events that I've been to, Citi's corporate culture is undoubtedly better and you'll have greater exit ops

Unless of course, you're into hardcore IB, then stick with DB.
