Which would you recommend at a BB as an associate? Munis seem to be having slimming margins but I'm not sure if that is the case with corporate investment grade. What are the differences in pay/hours at the associate level? Better outlook longer term? And which would be more interesting/intellectually stimulating?
Anything is appreciated, thanks!!
