CS TMT vs BAML TMT vs PJT Partners vs Guggenheim

All NY, what are peoples thoughts on this scenario for someone who isn't considering the buyside (so PE placements don't matter) but instead a long term banking career?

Of the 4, would never go to Guggenheim. Even if you want to make a career in banking.

If you want a structured program with reliable exposure to deals, BBs like CS and BAML can certainly offer that.

If you want a lot of responsibilities and smaller team, go with PJT. So whatever your preferences, the other 3 can offer that. I would go to PJT in NY.
