Both groups are very strong. From what I heard sponsors got hit pretty hard by cuts in the fall/winter. Historically FS has placed better- they send kids to most of the megafunds esp. KKR and Blackstone, but it's not a big gap, and considering M&A activity is much higher than sponsor-related deals, I'd say M&A would be the better choice.
If you have an SA offer try and call up both offices to talk with the analysts there, see which ones you think might fit your personality better. Culturally, you might fit in one group a lot better, which would increase your odds of a FT offer exponentially.
I think I can work well in both groups and according to CS both groups are active. Granted the FS group is doing some different work, like restructuring PE firms and focusing on some much smaller LBO's etc, but I always thought the FS group at CS was their claim to fame?

ok, thanks.

Is it worth joining that group over the M&A group, considering there is so much uncertainty in the PE markets?
Also, from what I understand, CS FS group is the best on the street. How does their M&A group stack up?
M&A is very strong as well. You really can't go wrong with either.
