Hi I'm an incoming sa at Citi in IB. I'm thinking of recruiting for GS/JPM/MS/EVR/PJT/CVP. Is there a difference in opportunities that will be available to me and the aforementioned banks if I stay at Citi full time? My goal is either pe firm that promotes, strategic exit (strategy/ops/bd/corpdev), startup. I don't want mf pe or anything that has a 2 and out program.

You’re cooked buddy ur at a shit bank pe out of the question
anyone hear back regarding placement?
Not yet I really wanted Industrials/Media Telecom. What did u rank?
Healthcare and GAM, still have not heard back
Lol is this rage bait? Citi is garbage
what do you mean are you saying there is a tangible difference or no?
Are you an idiot? You're asking if there is a tangible difference between Citi and GS, EVR, and CVP. How did you even get an offer bro.

Bump
just heard back - top groups are out
What group?
M&A
top groups as in groups we ranked that were at the top of our list?
No just mean I’ve heard all interns placed in M&A, FSG, and IND have been alerted
Bump
bump, any updates regarding placement
Nope I have not heard anything yet — I remember hr said we would find out this week though so let's see
ignore title, went through similar decision. looking back, the difference in firms is definitely substantial, but not significant enough to outweigh what you're giving up (e.g. potentially your RO if group finds out you're rerecruiting, losing RO because you're a bad intern in general because too busying rerecruiting, your network/mentorship at the existing bank etc.)
This is helpful thank you
Just got the email from HR - good luck to everyone
