Citi Top Group vs GS/MS/JPM
Hey so I wanted to know whether I should accept an offer from Citi, where I think I have a strong chance of getting into a top group (think M&A, Media & Comms, etc.) vs letting the time period for the offer elapse, and rolling the dice for GS/MS/JPM. I have strong connections at 2 out of those three top banks, but not to any particular group. How do people think top groups at Citi compare to average groups at the top 3. Is it worth letting the offer elapse to try to get into one of the other three? I'm diversity from a non target btw.
Sometimes I honestly find the arrogance on this forum to be mindblowing - you're willing to let an offer at a super strong shop go just because you have "strong connections" at two of the other three banks? Have you even locked down a superday yet? Or even had a first round? Sounds like a no given your framing of "to try to get into" the other firms.
Maybe you're overinflating your changes of getting into a "top group" as well, but come on man - a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush is a saying for a reason. Especially coming from a non-target...
You would be insane to turn down Citi
