Got an offer from one of the first three banks. How do these firms compare in terms of exit ops and long-term prospects to GS/MS and Centerview, which recruit later?

Career Resources
Imo those are all good shops where you'll get great hands on experience as an analyst. Not worth turning down an offer from either just to (possibly) get an offer from the others you mentioned
Dyal doesn’t take interns and M Klein finished up awhile ago. since you got an offer from DBO I would absolutely renege DBO for any of those banks. Unless you want to be a career banker or you’re dying to get overworked at DBO whilst likely only getting MM tech SF PE looks, I would 100% recruit any other BB/EB that you can land. My friend reneged a similar firm last spring (USA/DBO/DCA) and got JPM and hasn’t looked back. Trust me, I would accept then renege if you land something
What about M Klein and Dyal?
I would be very surprised if you got an internship at Dyal—myself and friends tried reaching out there and analysts told us that they only hire laterals.
M Klein is better than DBO (personal preference) but I would still renege it tbh. Honestly it’s a bit cooler/better but not by too much so if you like the people there I’m sure it’d be a better landing spot than DBO. Up to you at that point if you still want to recruit but reneging is still an option tbh
Fairly similar
Congrats on the offer from DBO. Your decision depends greatly on your career interests. If you’re interested in being a career banker, I would take one of the first three offers or CVP. However, if you’re focused on getting into PE or HF, I would take GS/MS, or maybe CVP if you’re okay taking an extra year. Decision hinges on your long-term interests.
