Hi guys,
What do you think would be the better choice?
Especially when it comes down to getting more internships/graduate programs at BBs/top boutiques?

I'd go with DC Didn't work or interview with either firms but speaking from insights from friends/professionals. DC should also have better connected MDs and directors for future internship referrals
From what I hear DC have a good working environment and atmosphere, particularly for people new to the industry. No working interns until the middle of the night and all through weekends.
If you're interested in sticking with M&A and want to explore future options outside of Frankfurt, go with DC. Commerzbank is scaling back their London M&A right now, which I think is the only place aside from Frankfurt they have a full M&A team. That being said, if you want to stay in Frankfurt long term, then go with Commerzbank.
Commerzbank have a strong mittlestand business in Frankfurt and would be the better choice if German M&A is your long term ambition. Ironically, a couple London M&A guys moved to DC last year, make of that what you wish.
CB sits on their large balance sheet and corporate banking business. Strong name in Germany and okay in London.
Echoing NTinNY, while they do have a strong name in Germany, I'd go as far as to say that the brand name is relatively non-existent in London. You could sell it if you really stretched but I'd recommend the former.
