Deutsche Bank or BXPE?

I just got offers for Deutsche IB and BXPE and I am having trouble deciding which one to take. On one hand, I like the culture at Blackstone but I also think Deutsche Bank provides more prestige and exit opportunities. What do you guys think?

Neither is really that prestigious, I think you should extend graduation and rerecruit so that you can get Tobin. I hear they're so prestigious that analysts are willing to work there for free!

 

I am someone who pursued investment banking for the "love of the game," for lack of a better term. I can sense we are alike in our pursuits. Go big (Deutsche Bank AG) or go home! 

 

Reach out to UBS Tech and let them know you have these offers. Hopefully they bite!
