[Citi/BAML] NYC vs. [MS/GS] HK for SA
After fucking up what limited EB/MF interviews I had, seems like I'll be choosing one of the two options in the title for next summer. If my goal is to upgrade come FT recruiting, which one should I choose? I am bilingual/bicultural and have no geographic preference regarding lifestyle.
Seen the following isolated examples from linkedin stalking: Cornell guy went from Citi NYC SA to PJT NYC FT Berkeley girl went from BAML NYC SA to PJT NYC FT Columbia girl went from MS HK SA to Evercore NYC FT Harvard guy went from MS HK SA to Warburg Pincus NYC FT
Not sure if these anecdotes mean much; any input is appreciated
Is GS even out yet?
IMO a tier 2 BB ft NYC offer makes you more interesting than a tier 1 BB ft HK offer after the summer - also networking over the summer / right after the summer will be easier if you're in NYC already
Thanks for the input
if you want to be in NYC after graduation, go with the NYC offer, and vice versa. pretty straightforward stuff.
Given how limited FT recruiting has been (in both NY and HK), you will in all likelihood end up at the place you summered at (if you get a return offer that is). In either case, it's always easier to lateral to other banks in the same city as where you summered.
I know the harvard guy that went from MS to Warburg - he's a complete baller (already started his own fund), and he did it through OCR. So unless you are at harvard, I wouldn't count on getting MF whichever option you choose.
and don't say that you don't have a geographic preference in terms of NYC vs HK. NYC and HK are completely different - if you REALLY have no preference between the two, you have bigger problems to worry about (like what really matters to you and your life) than choosing between two offers
